Is full of seemingly deliberate little shout outs to Red Dead Redemption, from the horse mechanics to the way you skin an animal (when you occasionally, in a quest, take a trophy that is.)
It’s pretty amazing to me just how hinky the 3D work and animation can be in a AAA title, though. I guess I notice this stuff more now even with my intermediate experience level, but holy crap the Witcher leaves environmental art to a standard I’d be embarrassed to release if I had their team and their budget.
