The latest 1.06 patch has introduced a momentary pause for me. It's only happened once mind. As if it is streaming textures... I'm on an SSD and it wasn't like this before.

I installed Skyrim again the other day. Played through the prologue part and thought "dayum this game looks baaaad". lol.
Even on Ultra, the textures are shocking! I always remember it looking far better
Even so, I love the mountainous scenery but as I got to the first village I just felt bored. Not sure if it is because I have done it all already or because I was in the wrong mood for an RPG game.
Will have another crack at it when I feel a bit more in the mood and see how I feel. Straight away, though, the thing that is properly annoying me is the inventory system. Completely forgot it was a big list rather than a grid layout.
So far it has knocked my rose tinted shades right off. Skyrim son, I am much disappoint! lol

To be honest Bethesda need to up their game for the next one.

Well vanilla Skyrim might be pretty basic by todays standards but get the right mods installed and not only can it look just as good as anything around today (ok, well almost as good) but the gameplay can be massively improved as well. There's a thread somewhere in this forum with a really good guide to modding.

I've have it modded to the Max with ENB the lot. TBH, it's had it's day. Games like TW3 and DAI have raised the bar to a point where Bethesda need to make another ES their next project... They probably have half the coding work done with ESO.
Indeed. Witcher 3 is the new benchmark for western RPG's in my opinion. Stunning game.

Coming to the end now and I am slightly sad, even with it's faults it's a hell of a game.
Why give away what happens in the quest?!
Why quote it openly?
Agree with TW3 being the benchmark. This is the type of RPG I've always dreamt of playing! Wish they'd made the inventory/crafting a bit different but apart from that it's amazing. 
I thought my Skyrim looked amazing with ENB and all the mods but TW3 just blows it away.

Agreed! I love the Baldur's Gate saga, and it's still my favourite; but any future RPG doesn't come close to the Witcher 3 is going to feel like a let down.
Any future RPG of this genre, certainly.
I used to play a lot of BG2 and NWN - they were great too but they are in a different vein. I'd really like to see another D&D style RPG come out. Live combat Skyrim/TW3 style is great fun but D&D rules are awesome too. Torchlight 2 was a bit too much Hack & Slash (also why I didn't touch Diablo 3).

The closest game to those classics lately for me is Divinity Original Sin.
It's insulting to The Witcher to mention it in the same breath as DA:I!
Keep an eye out for the Enhanced edition(or whatever its called). It looks like it will make an already very good game great.
Don't be that guy, it's opinion based.
I really like Dragon Age Inquisition! And I've yet to sink my teeth into Witcher 3. But to me, both are great in their own way and on equal level with me.
So yea, don't be that fool who tries to slap anything else down around the game you enjoy. Claiming others opinions are wrong.
Shame on you.
It was a comment on a forum. Hardly 'slapping anything else down'. It isn't a fact, and I never claimed others opinions are wrong.

Anyone else felt it got rather easy nearing the end of the game? Using the (i think) arch griffin decoction, strong attacks take 10% of the health off with each hit. Every fight after that was just dodge, Quen and strong attack it 9 times.
Finished it with 50 hours play time mind, was a brilliant game.

Owners of the normal Version of Divinity get a free upgrade to the Enhanced Edition. Good practice that.
On a seperate note, Triss' new hair is awesome! The new clothing is extremely inconspicuous, and looks like nip slip hell though.
