CD Projekt games are just Bioware games going through the angsty teen phase.

Bethesda games are the college, "muh inner childhood" phase except dumbed down because of the lack of time and dedication

Your Bethesda analogy is terrible, I get the sense that your idea of college was very different than mine

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
i have a better analogy

if a RPG is a nice pretty girl, then Beth is the black immigrant fucking her ass, Bio is the Paki immigrant fucking her mouth and screaming to her ear about Allah and CDProjekt is the slav guy watching it all and pretending to be morally and culturally better person (witcher 1), but actually wish he was one of those two (witcher 2 and 3).

guys, am i doin it right?

I'll take my crack at it. Bioware is the easy one, she's the granola hipster who doesn't believe in showering or shaving her armpits. Beth is like the vapid girl trying to look pretty who uses so much makeup that her face melts off during shower sex. And CDProject is a pretty girl who you think you want to fuck (music, story) but then ends up just lying there like a starfish (gameplay).

Well I can pretty easily take on Arcanum. She's a chick that everyone you know raves about, and she looks pretty good at first, but when you strip her pants off her dick flops out and she fucks you with it. And you're totally not into that.

Bioware is the guy who used to be a bro, but ended up letting himself be pussywhipped by a control-freak who doesn't let him have friends. Bethesda is the guy who used to be a bro, but went into business and now spouts inane corporate gibberish every time he opens his mouth. CD projekt is the guy who used to be really boring, but ended up getting a real personality over time and is actually pretty cool now.

I don't see anything wrong with this. Especially in open-world games it's good if you can explore at your leisure without being constantly pushed in a particular direction. Very few RPGs have any kind of real urgency anyway, they're usually just faking it.

There's nothing worse than situations where you are told to hurry but in reality there's no time limit of any kind.

Revolution in gaming! Geralt learnt to open bottles and drink from them while standing! So much immersion!

He didn't learn it. He just remembered he could do this in Witcher 1.
It wasn't really feasible though due to the long ass animation that would get you killed if you popped hp pots in combat. The new system sounds like it will encourage exactly that.

I don't how you played it, but I didn't have a problem with getting a little breathing space from an enemy and popping a potion.

Memory's a little fuzzy, all I remember is that it discouraged potion spam and you were better off pre-potting since the hp pot was a slow HOT anyway.

It did mechanically as all the potions are poison and, yeah it took some time to drink it, but this made sens, actually. Still, I think the Wicher 1 toxicity system was better than the W2, althoguh it should have been less forgiving

A turn-based RPG revolution and some of you fuckers are still mad that other developers are making games for people who aren't you.

Ok, now, accept that CD Project makes better action games than Bioware and Bethesda.
Sorry, but no. CD Projekt has the best art, music, and writing of the three, but definitely not gameplay.
For me, it's something like this: Writing: 1) CDProjekt 2) Bioware 3) Bethesda; Gameplay: 1) Bioware 2) Bethesda 3) CDProjekt; Art 1) CDProjekt 2) Bethesda 3) Bioware; music: 1) CDProjekt 2) Bethesda 3) Bioware; Area dDesign: 1) Bethesda 2) CDProjekt 3) Bioware
