>The Witcher 3.

    Well, I've just started W2, and it's pretty darned fantastic.  Just 
about every aspect is a clear improvement over W1:  The voice acting has 
been flawless; the graphics are drop-dead gorgeous -- I've installed an 
environmental texture mod, and find myself marveling at clothing and facial 
details, just as I did in ME1 with it's big MEUITM texture mod -- and the 
whole tone and look of the game has a seriousness and maturity about it that 
was lacking in W1.

The combat is quite a bit more complex and rich as well, with dodging and 
counterattacks emphasized, and the odd rhythm mechanics gone.  With this 
much improvement from the first game, I'll gladly jump into W3 after 
finishing the middle game.  I've bought into this gameworld completely by 
now, and implicitly trust CDPR to deliver a good experience.
