9 Reasons Why The Witcher 3 Is Better Than Skyrim

Exploring the worlds of Bethesda's RPGs is an amazing experience, but the actual act of travelling around the developer's maps often feels like a chore.

And with only the ability to sprint for a short period of time and a clunky horse-riding system making up your traversal options, there's a good chance that you spent the majority of Skyrim fast travelling around rather than adventuring on foot.

CD Projekt Red however attempted to make the sheer act of travelling in The Witcher 3 enjoyable on its own, increasing the options at your disposal to get around the game's large maps.

Whether that meant taking to the main roads by horseback, exploring uncharted territory on foot or travelling downstream in a boat, there was always an interesting way to get to your destination, ensuring exploration as gameplay element was always fun and varied across the hundred-hour campaign.
