Witcher 3 is a whole other can of worms and it's a game people hold to an impossible standard because people are obsessed with "IT'S MORALLY GRAY REEEEEE" and they forget that there's large chunks of Witcher 3 that are fucking boring as sin and the combat and movement were atrociously clunky. BioWare games and The Witcher 3 are for very different audiences, it's just that people put them both under the WRPG umbrella along with Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

Witcher 3 is as popular as it is because it's an RPG for non RPG players. Take a gruff, non emoting beefy character like Geralt, put him on the cover, let him slay some monsters and fuck a lot of hot babes with---wait, Geralt doesn't even have a cock modeled, because that'd make gamers feel G[i][b]AY HAVING TO SEE A MAN PENIS WHEN I'M TRYING TO FUCK GIRL LADIES.[/b][/i]

I have it out for gamers and I think Witcher 3 managed to snag the dudebro audience which is why it got so lauded.
