Witcher is not a 3rd person shooter, theres not even guns involved, Geralt dont use bows or crosbows either. And Im pretty sure they will cause of of the perks of the new generation is allowing this vast open words to run whithout hicups. I prefer linear storys with some openess, like The Last of US, Tomb Raider or the Mass Effect series, than when the game is completly open. It feels like the game looses a lot of focus with the openess, I cant find the motivation in me to explore the world with no real purpose, but thats my opinion.
