It's a shame about the key characters, but The Witcher and this seem to be games with a strong emphasis on the story, and they don't want us to ruin it. |
Unfortunately yeah, CDPR is aiming at mass market and although they have popular pen&paper RPG as basis, they can't afford to commit fully if they don't want to be on the wrong end of entitled modern gaming "journalists" (which they already experienced with 2077).
As for TW3, it is no wonder, it walks the line between RPGs and action-adventures, and quite often fails as former, but excels as latter.

Yeah, the fun of finding out how to kill Lord British in every Ultima game. Good times... Or in later Might&Magic titles killing all the civilians in the towns and cities, and then the guards. Wizardry 8 allowing to kill every single NPC in the game (though doing it too early results into a walking dead situation). |
Good times indeed...when RPGs were trying to be as close as possible to its P&P roots - all about options.
Not sure that I remember what was the last one that I've played that had that freedom...
