I hated the combat in the Witcher 2, so I never tried 3. I’ll probably give it a shot someday when I can pick it up for $5 on a Steam sale, but I don’t have high hopes. If if I don’t enjoy the part of playing the game where I’m actually playing the game then I don’t care how great the world building and production values are. It’s a shame, because I love the look and especially the music in W3.
For as janky as TES games are, I appreciate the variety and then I can play the games however I want. Playing as a preset character in an RPG isn’t a dealbreaker for me (though I find Geralt tedious) but if I can make my own I’ll be more willing to overlook the other flaws in the game.
