The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt vs Ultima VII: Part Two - Serpent Isle

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven open-world RPG in which you play Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter searching for his adopted daughter. It is celebrated for its mature writing, meaningful side quests, and a massive, hand-crafted world.

Eighteen months after the events of The Black Gate, the Avatar is summoned by Lord British to investigate the disappearance of Batlin and Iolo's wife Gwenno. A mysterious map leads to the Serpent Isle, where the ancient Guardian threatens to destroy Britannia once more. On the island, the Avatar must uncover the philosophies of the original serpent-worshipping inhabitants—Order, Chaos, and Balance—and use this knowledge to correct the great imbalance and thwart the Guardian's plans.
