I'm usually not anal about definitions. I wasn't refering to the braoder genre as a whole but rather CRPGs, a sub-genre explained in the video some. Regardless of definitions, I've played Skyrim through, but I'm just glad that there's apparently still plenty space for more tactical experiences with deeper character systems, too -- just like in the games back in the 90s primarily popular on home computers and PCs.

If one wants to compete with Skyrim, one has to develop a Skyrim-like, which is a totally different experience. Just like Obsidian are doing in Unavowed right now, at least for the time being abandoning their initial PoE series (hopefully they'll get back to that too, and a successful BG3 may do not harm in that regard).
