In short, The Witcher is definitely not made for people thinking that fun is the most important thing in a video game. 


Alternately; people have varying definitions of "fun".

For me, challenge and depth is fun, I've been craving more advanced and difficult gaming concepts and products since the beginning of the 7th gen when everything started getting simplified for the sake of broader appeal.
You can't rightly use your own definitions when appraising other peoples preferences, I find Pokemon games to be absolutely dreadfully boring but I would never say that Pokemon games are for gamers who don't want their games to be fun.

Yeah, definition of "fun" that some people have around here is really strange - you mentioned Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale earlier, for cRPG fans those games are loads of fun, though most of todays mainstream audience (those same exact people that are buying Witcher 3 now based on hype in droves and actually have no clue what type of game they are getting in), would shit their pants after first enconter in either of them.

Do your homework people, this is not JRPG, neither is Souls or BB, this is in essence Gothic alike game that's, while being slightly mainstreamed, proper WRPG that we're not used to getting anymore so much with all the dumbing down that usually occurs when PC franchises go to consoles.

If you've expected Souls or BB, ask yourselves WHY, since there was absolutely zero reasons for that, and go trade in this game for Lords of the Fallen.
