The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt vs World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

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.

Set after Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor sends players to the original orc homeworld before its fall. Players confront the Iron Horde, build personal Garrisons, and experience legendary Warcraft characters in an expanded open world. The expansion raises the level cap to 100, adds account-wide heirlooms, and introduces class‑specific perks, while updating character models and offering a deep, time‑bending storyline that reshapes Warcraft lore.
