I was reacting to the post about filler contents. Games don't need to be similar to talk about that.
You're better off ignoring it.

Says the guy who thinks that Skyrim is the best thing since the sliced bread? Hah!
Why go after people for liking a game? I've said it countless times I enjoy Skyrim, Witcher 3, and DA:I. Just because I think one or two of those has more filler than others…no reason to direct stuff at me.
To me, it seems like a lot of W3 fans outright refuse to acknowledge some of these issues, but I could be wrong.
I think Bethesda fans are king when it comes to ignoring issues, but it definitely happens with any game.
I'm sorry Brumbek it was a bit of a kneejerk reaction. As JD have said - I really shouldn't get involved.
How is that for intelligent and respectful?
I admit I have that problem. I can sound like my opinion is immutable, but then I change my opinion at times and enter into an exestential crisis. But seriously, yeah, all of us can always strive to be more caring and considerate rather than dogmatic. The only good dogma is Dragon's Dogma, which is one of the BEST GAMES EVER, and if anyone disagrees I will flip … wait…calm down, caring…compassionate…loving. Phew…Why do I get the feeling that when people are putting "IMO" at the end of a sentence, that they're trying a bit too hard to sound they're convinced of what they're saying?
Skyrim had extremely limited options in comparison and exploration required little to none environmental awareness…Bandit strongholds were in plain sight from the road and at the end of each dungeon, a nice little treasure chest was always conveniently placed in the center of the last room and you NEVER had to put any thought on how to get around any obstacles. And don't even get me started on those "puzzles"…those alone should make it obvious how much level of engagement Bethesda expects from a Skyrim player.
I agree that Witcher overdid it with artificial difficulty and some monster/quest level could definitely use rebalancing, but even with it's flaws, the world did not feel so centered around you.
But I'll gladly repeat why Skyrim destroys W3 in terms of freeform exploration a few more times, especially when it comes to dungeons - as W3 hardly has any. It would be so much easier if people stopped being in denial about it.
Isn't it enough that W3 walks all over Skyrim and all other open world RPGs when it comes to story and quests? Must it be the best at everything?
Games like Diablo do this because they don't have enough story/world content compared to their level/loot content. It's not a feature as much as a way of extending the loot lottery game without having to create actual story/world content to match. The Witcher 3 has story/world content in abundance, and don't really need a game+ mode.It's just another name for what games like Diablo have been doing for decades - as they were designed around this very feature. They also handle it much better than most when it comes to the mechanics.
