The Witcher 3 sets the bar when it comes to the open-world in open-world games, I agree. But its combat is terrible, which brings the game down significantly. This is one place where DA: I was far better.
Also, lol at people comparing The Witcher 3's combat to GTA V. Do you know that melee combat is essentially a non-existant part of GTA games? And GTA V's shooting mechanics are much more refined than The Witcher 3's combat mechanics.
Other than that, I'm loving the game though :)
