From a company that is very respected by gamers im shocked by this comment. Skyrim is loved for many reasons and generic isnt the reason.

Generic is exactly the word I would use for Skyrim. I haven't played any Witcher game, but kudos to them for having actual taste.

And, the most generic movies, music, books and games are often the most popular ones. Lowest common denominator and all that. I'm not saying that I never enjoy generic things but the majority mass of any one market is likely swayed by the simpler things.

Call of Duty games, Twilight books, Transformers movies and Rihanna's music are perfect examples.
