Maybe its all in my head but the first and second game captured perfectly the feeling of the story , witcher 3's atmosphere felt more like i was playing an typical fantasy game except for the No man's land , this world is full of deceit , suffering , dangers lurking everywhere and witcher 3 didnt felt like that
the atmosphere of witcher 1 almost sent me intro a depression , you could really see how conflicts of the world affected the population
i really hope they go back to that type of world and they stay away from high fantasy
