DAI

 

Haven village

Redcliff village

Serhina

Crestwood Village

Small market district in Val Rayouex

 

Witcher 3 (based off collectors edition map and from witcher 3 forum user Rawls)

 

http://forums.cdproj...9285-map/page53

 

Larger settlements (3)
Novigrad - It is the largest city on the map in the north western corner. There are between 250-300 buildings (I counted 268, but it's really hard to tell in several places from the aerial view) within the city walls. There are an additional 60 or so buildings immediately outside the city walls to the south, south east and east of the city. 
Oxenfurt - The second largest city on the map on two Islands in the Pontar River towards the eastern edge of the map. There are 50-75 buildings in the city it appears (it's hard to tell because the banner goes directly over part of the city). It looks like the southern most Island probably holds the University of Oxenfurt (the buildings look like dorms and a university) while the northern island holds the town itself. 
Crow's Perch - A walled town in the western portion of the map South of Novigrad. It appears to be in the northwestern section of No Man's Land. It holds around 25 buildings.

 

Smaller Villages (16)
Yantra - settlement east of Novigrad (in area labeled Gustfields) with approximately 7 buildings. 
Carsten - settlement northwest of Oxenfurt (in area labeled Gustfields) with approximately 6 buildings on the northern bank of the Pontar River.
Ursten - settlement south of Novigrad (in area labeled Grassy Knoll) with 5-10 buildings on the northern bank of the Pontar River. 
Stonecutters Settlement - 10-15 buildings west of Oxenfurt. I would really like to hear some NPC humming or whistling the Stonecutters song from the Simpsons while in the village. Just a thought ...

Mulbrydale - a settlement in the area of Greyrocks to the west of the Stonecutters Settlement. It contains around 10-15 buildings. 
Heatherton - a settlement to the northwest of Crows Perch. It appears to have around 15 buildings. 
Blackbough - a village to the west of Crow's Perch. It appears to have between 8 and 10 buildings. 
Claywhich - settlement of 5 to 10 buildings that is south of Crows Perch in the very northern section of the lake area surrounding Fyke Island. 
Oreton - a settlement of 5 to 10 buildings south of Claywatch on the northern shore of the lake surrounding Fyke Island. 
Drudge - a small settlement of about 5 buildings to the south east of Oreton on the northern shore of the lake surrounding Fyke Island.
Spitfire Bluff - a village of about 10 buildings in the Spitfire Bluff area south and west of Blackbough on the western edge. 
Byways - an area south of Spitfire Bluff between the lake and the sea on the western edge of the map. There appears to be two settlements that number about 10 buildings in total. 
Lurch - a village of approximately 10 buildings to the south of Greyrocks in North Eastern No Man's Land.
Lindenvale - a town of around 15 buildings to the west of Lurch near where the areas of Crows Perch, The Descent, Crookback Bog and Greyrocks all meet. 
Toderas - a village of around 10 buildings to the east of Lurch in the Descent area. 
Downwarren - a village of just a few buildings in Crookback Bog to the south of Lurch. This is the area where the witches are located in the 35 minute video. There are a few other settlements nearby and I am not sure if each of those villages is considered a part of Downwarren or what. The three little settlements together probable add up to about 15 buildings.

 

Other labled locations ( 8 )

Honeyhill Meadworks - it appears to be an area conntecting what I am assuming is the meadworks itself and then about 5 other buildings to the east of the meadworks in Gustfields. It is to the east of Novigrad. 
Vegelbud Residence - this is an apparent estate to the north of Oxenfurt. 
- Drahim Castle - a structure to the south of Novigrad in Grassy Knoll area (north east of Ursten). 
Greyrocks - this could just be the area lable but it looks like its over some sort of large structure or maybe a quarry?
Inn at the Crossroads - a settlement of about 5 buildings in Mudplough between Crow's Perch and Mulbrydale. One would think there is an inn there. 
Condyle - I think this is a small village, but its really hard to see any buildings. So I don't really know what it is. It's south of Spitfire Bluff. 
- Fyke Island - an Island in the middle of the southern lake with what appears to be a ring an maybe a tower in the middle. In the south central portion of the map.
The Mire - I'm not sure if this is the label for that whole lake area surrounding Fyke Island or just that little swamp location at the far south of the map.

How is it that a smaller team with a smaller budget can do much more than Bioware? I think bioware is done for, sorry but DAI was a disappointment to any practical and objective person. Witcher 3 besides having more settlements will have a larger map and a world that isnt static.

Just going by who the OP is and the title of the thread (without reading the OP), I'm guessing this isn't actually a comparison so much as it's fan w**king CDPR and/or TW3 and trashing Bioware and/or DAI.

 

Am I right?

5 total settlements with static characters compared to 19 settlements in witcher 3 with npcs that actually move around. Mass Effect 4 will be the exact same piece of trash as this game. Just you wait.

I guess I'm only half right. The fan wa*k and subsequent trashing isn't in the OP. It's in the second post.

Yes, actually. You're propping one game and its developers up on a pedestal when the game isn't out yet, and drawing unfair comparisons to slander another game and its developers. You're trying to make some idiotic "Biower is sux at making immersive werlds!" statement by using TW3 as a comparison, when TW3 is slated to be semi-open world, while DAI isn't.

 

You aren't even trying to hide it.

Strange I don't feel lied to nor do I think the game failed

 

Instead how about you don't place your opinion as fact

If you think DAI failed, then you have a different definition of "failure" than 99% of the rest of the world.

DAI - 5 settlements static npcs

Witcher 3 - 19 settlements in one area of the game based on the OFFICIAL GAME MAP, has moving npcs if you watch recent gameplay vids

 

It's not unfair, im dealing with the facts. You are just angry that dai failed in open world immersion.

Check my edit. DAI isn't an open world game, so why are you mentioning "open world immersion"?

are you blind? The facts based of the official game map! I've stated this in the OP and user Rawls from witcher 3 forums went out of his way to name each settlement and count the buildings from the map.

Because we're all aware that users on the game's forums are the pinnacle of accuracy and aren't prone to slanting information to suit some agenda.

Let's deal in the facts.

 

Poland - developing nation

Canada - developed nation

 

Bioware - large company with EA resources

CDPR - medium sized company with little outside help

 

Bioware - larger team

CDPR - smaller team

 

DAI - 5 settlements

Witcher 3 - 19 settlements in only ONE ZONE of the game

 

DAI - static npcs

Witcher 3 - npcs actually move

 

What are your priorities bioware?

Maybe, if you can try to name it without giving it inaccurate labels again.

Semi-openworld - CHECK

Static npcs - CHECK

FETCH QUEST SIMULATOR - CHECK

 

How is that inaccurate?

I can see where you're coming from OP, but I think this post would have a lot more weight if you'd waited to post it after the Witcher 3 was actually released (or better yet, after you'd finished playing it).

 

Even with details released beforehand, this isn't really a fair comparison.

Obviously, OP, you prefer the Witcher 3 to DAI. You should really go play it, since you find it so much more scenic and immersive.

 

Oh, wait... That's next month. Maybe.

 

They should just create an area of the forum specifically for TW3 comparisons. That will give fans a chance to get it out of their systems. And then the moderators should hit "flush".
