I started playing Witcher 3 while I was off over Christmas, I like that you can dictate the pace of it, and the fact that quests have a suggested level so you can just mooch about wandering between the little question marks on the map or pick up a couple of quests off the notice boards in the villages or go through the main story. I like dipping in and out of games like that, sometimes you find with open world/quest based games that the main story dominates too much and can be a difficult path to get off once you start on it. I keep looking at Far Cry thinking I might quite like that, too.
Shadow of Mordor became too samey for me after a little while. The world isn't huge and there's nothing much outside the main story, other than various ways to kill orcs within different time limits. Fallout is great, I love those games. Although not so much Fallout 4... It got a bit tiresome and I had no desire to keep going back to it, unlike Fallout 3 and New Vegas. But that could be because Fallout 3 was the first open world RPG I'd played so it was a totally new game play experience to me in a totally new setting. I played probably 100 hours on both of those.
thank you! I was worried that might be the case for Mordor.
May dust off the 360 to try some Fallout 3. When it comes down in price, your summary above persuaded me Witcher 3 is definitely something I'll be picking up.
But first I think Far Cry 4 will be my quarry, it's been mentioned enough times.
