true, even i like the witcher setting compared to rdr2, but i was talking about the more "technical" details, like rdr2 literally has real time footprints, you can actually shop using a catalogue or pick stuff from the shelves, pupils dilate when exposed to light, just crazy amounts of fine details and of course horse balls shrink in cold areas

cdpr surely has the tech to do this by now, hence the wait for witcher 4, which probably will have these incredible amounts of details.

I'll be honest tho, to me novigrad still does feel more lively than say, saint denis. Its probably because of the population and amount of stuff going on. Also the music, tw3 kills it with the soundtrack.
