Yes Witcher 3 is definitely my standard at this point for how to do lore (and story?) well. I have not read any of the Witcher novels and did not play the first two games. I went into Witcher 3 completely ignorant of any and all things Witcher. And yet I very easily understood every bit of story and lore that got thrown my way, and never felt lost within the game. The game did a great job of bringing me up to speed on everything pretty quickly and well.
The Witcher 3 is one of the finest RPGs of all time. Hard to live up to.
