Are you referring to The Witcher III and Divinity: Original Sin II? I liked The Witcher III, but I didn’t love it. I personally found it to be a little overrated, I enjoyed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla a lot more. However, I liked it enough to play it again at some point. Divinity: Original Sin II isn’t third person or open world, it’s isometric view and linear. I liked a lot about it, but the combat focuses too much on the use of magic and is extremely slow paced. I couldn’t stick with it for that reason.
No, are you?
While technically a third person perspective or view might simply mean seeing the character that you’re playing in a game, it’s primarily used to describe a behind the character looking forward view. When a camera view of a character is overhead it’s described as bird’s-eye or top-down view, when it’s at a slightly top-down angle it’s described as isometric view and when it’s from the side it’s described as side view.canedaddy wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 3:34 pmThird-person means you can see the character, which you clearly can. And having beaten the game, I'd describe it as open world. Each of the areas is very big and you can go pretty much wherever you want.
