Loved The Talos Principle, but also enjoyed Skyrim. Skyrim’s quests and side quests felt a bit thing-collecty at times, but I feel like you could get into it as a nationalistic boy scout viking barbarian, or an angry lizard thief, or an elven mage and play three different games.

With the Witcher 3, I felt trapped in a character whose demeanor I found insufferable no matter what options I chose.

I wanted to like the game, and recognize the technical achievement, but it left me pretty blasé about quite a lot.
