This is a great great point. on the surface, The Witcher 3 is nothing like BG at all. but upon closer inspection, there are a lot of similarities. And there is no way the Witcher 3 could have been as great as it is without BG. but unlike the other wannabes, CD project knew execlty what parts of BG they need, and what parts they should innovate. Instead of coping BG they built upon it.


This!
I have to confess I haven't really enjoyed Witcher 1&2 that much, but 3 caught me completely unprepared.

Still if we can only choose one, I'd go with DAO.
And I agree nostalgia aside not many people here would actually enjoy too literal rendition of BG.
