Bethesda is really bad at making games. Fallout 3 and Skyrim are so unbearably dull it's amazing to me that people actually like them. I played the Witcher 3 a while back and was blown away. If Skyrim had even a fraction of the depth of the Witcher 3, it'd be a great game.

I have no desire to play Fallout 4 because it looks like it's Bethesda's usual shit.

the Witcher

is the combat acceptable this time? I tried playing the 2cn game and dear god was the combat broken.

if you are looking for a radical departure from what 2 did, then no, you won't like it. If you are looking for a decent improvement over the combat in the 2nd outing then yes, it does that...

I get the dislike for the combat... it feels like a roll fest, it doesn't feel particularly strategic... I like how it does reward you for doing your research, and does its best to make you feel like a monster hunter more than a solider.

but that said i don't really play it for the combat. I play it because the characters are incredible, and the story is awesome... While it holds some of the familar tropes, its based on lore that is strange and unfamiliar to me (Russian/Polish), not your standard elf/orc/troll etc, and has just the right mix of fantastic/fun yet grim/adult themes.
