I'm not a huge fan of trash mobs myself, I feel like they're normally just placed on the map because the developer felt like "I've designed this huge map. I should probably put SOMETHING here." If given the choice between a trash mob and a story encounter, or even a non combant encounter, I'll always pick the latter.
Totally agree with this.

I've actually become more accepting of open-world ARPGs recently on account of really loving Witcher 3. Even DA:I is okay with me. But I need such games to be third-person. Just can't handle first-person.

This is an honest justification for wanting TB, and I respect it. It's just that it is decidedly NOT for me. The primary reason I would play a tabletop game is for the camaraderie of friends and drinking beer, eating pizza, and cracking questionable jokes. For the game itself I much prefer playing by myself, and indeed a huge part of my love for video games is that they are my escape from the real world and from annoying people (hence why I will never play multiplayer).
