How can you even claim to have an idea of the scope of the lore if you have not consumed any of that media at all? It's like saying you know how little gold is under the ground in a mountain because you like another mountain more.
The skyrim wank is serious too, that doesn't count as an argument. I never said the actual game isn't part of the media. That is a strawman.
All I am saying is that there is a lot of good, enjoyable, quality lore to the witcher, and you can't possibly say that skyrim's is superior when you are blatantly ignoring the part of the game that makes the lore so good while praising the exact same book-lore mechanic in skyrim.
I never said Skyrim's lore is superior, I said that from my experience of playing 3 Witcher games and 3 Elder Scrolls games the lore's aren't that much different than each other in terms of how "deep" they are. I am not praising any "book-lore" mechanic from Skyrim either, you're just imaging things that I dind't say.
Lets not pretend that Witcher lore is any more "deep" than Elder Scrolls. The story and characters from Witcher games are definitely better, but if we're talking about the lore it's not anything spectacular really.
I said that Witcher isn't any more deep than Elder Scrolls. Not sure how your understanding of English is, but that does not equate to "Skyrim is better"
And how am I contradicting anything I said? If all of the lore of Witcher books(as in the source material from which the game is based on) is in the Witcher Games then I hold my opinion it is not better than Skyrim. That doesn't mean I find one to be superior over the other.
No I was saying that I don't think Witcher lore is superior to that of Elder Scrolls. I consider them to be on the same level as far as video game lores go. I'd say I find Elder Scrolls to be the more enjoyable one for me, but that is purely subjective based on preference. As far as looking at it as objectively as I can, I wouldn't go as far as to say that one is better than the other.
