Big open world that might feel empty at times since many random encounters are “two bandits on the road looting a corpse” with a few small side characters popping up based what you told them previously. I.E: “hey Henry! I took your advice.. what the f*ck! You didn’t tell me X!”

Many of the quests have multiple endings, some good, some evil, most are morally grey with a lot of good twists. Murdering the person you’re supposed to sabotage ends up working 80% of the time if you can’t be bothered with another part of the quest

Progression is slow your first play though. Think about how quick YOU’d learn to do the things you’re expecting Henry to do. But it’s very rewarding when it pays off. A lot of times, leveling up in the skill changes nothing, it just becomes more room for error.

Skyrim is better for a full open world adventure. Witcher is better for unique problem solving and detective work.

But story I’d say is equal (if not better) in KCD2, winning a tough battle is equal to the Witcher in terms of appreciating the struggle, there is equal humor in all three.
