So you simply don't like western RPGs very much then, because they don't really come much better than this (an argument can be made that the combat mechanics could be better). That's fine.
I think the quest structure is necessary or otherwise it would just be playing around in a sandbox with no real purpose, overarching goal or consequences. W3 manages to pull of great storytelling, though. Monster hunts are just monster hunts, that's the nature of them but the more meaty side quests are some of the best I have ever encountered. And the characters are great and likable.
Meh, I guess it's all a matter of taste.
