The Witcher 3 was a critical and commercial success, and blew away the sales of the previous two games as well as most RPGs joining the likes of Skyrim and Fallout as mainstream RPGs.

However, anyone familiar with the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series will now theyve been incredibly dumbed down to appeal to a wider audience to the point where its arguable if Fallout 4 is even an RPG.

Did the Witcher experience a similar dumbing down to achieve its mass appeal?

Not as dumbed down as this topic, which sucks and is now about trains.

I have been told that I was EXCESSIVELY MEAN, so I will apologize for that.

However, trains are still cooler than your initial topic. I will not compromise on this.

Off topic- Here is an interesting detailed post from the CD Projeckt Red forum on this very topic:
Story: TW1 > TW2 > TW3
Gameplay: TW3 > TW1 > TW2
Visual aspect: TW3 > TW2 > TW1 (obviously)
Quest design: TW3 = TW2 > TW1
Monster variety: TW1 > TW3 > TW2
Music: TW3 = TW1 > TW2
Voiceovers: TW3 = TW2 > TW1
Inventory and interface: TW1 EE > TW3 > TW2
Alchemy (in its principle): TW1 > TW3 > TW2
Characters: TW2 > TW1 > TW3
Politics: TW2 > TW1 > TW3 (no politics of TW1 is better than crappy politics of TW3)
Sex, romances and related: TW2 > TW3 > TW1
Maturity of topics: TW2 > TW1 > TW3

Overall: TW3 > TW1 > TW2

On Topic: I am really glad Union Pacific brought back the Big Boy for their 150th anniversary. Of course it would be even better if they brought them back permanently for freight and began building a trans-continental high speed rail transportation system for passenger service, but that would be wishful thinking.

Off topic - Witcher 3 is not dumbed down at all. All 3 have strengths but 3 is the strongest for refining a lot of what wasn't that great about the first two.

Very different from Fallout/elder which remove more and more content with every new iteration

On topic - I've only been on a train once to actually travel somewhere that wasn't using NYC subways to get around. Went from st Louis to Chicago. It was fun

Wircher 3, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?

W3 isn't dumbed down at all. What the Hell? Yeah ES and F have become more casual but Witcher series not as much. Barely even.
