The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Environments

I will be comparing and contrasting the environments of the Witcher 3 in the case studies chapter of my essay. The game has a vast environment, with many realistic, medieval-themed places. Much of the inspiration for these medieval towns came from real life Polish and Scottish places. There are even different cultures represented through the game, the people of Skellige being northern Irish, and the city of Toussaint being inspired by France/ Italy. Every aspect of these real-world places has been considered to give the game environments as much believability and realism as possible; be it the architecture in the cities or the vegetation in the countryside. You can see how diverse many of the environments in the game are from the screenshots below, which show just a few of the different areas within the game.
