I'm comparing a bit because as I'm starting playing Witcher 3, it becomes visible the many points they wanted to make in a similar fashion on MEA. In my understanding, when they do that, they place themselves somewhere we end up comparing, like comparing with the trilogy, back then? Now that the way the game was made has nothing to do with the way it was made back then as well. So, based on that logic, how to compare?
I remember they tweeted of facebooked something about studying the Witcher to have a glimpse on how to do side quests properly, that had impact on the whole. If they did that, then they make a point for comparison between both games. And so on. Making an Open World ... might have been a mistake. Probably because they haven't found the way it would work for ME. That's all.

The thing about those underwater animals? Haven't felt a thing. ^_^
Witcher 3, so far, had me more careful and emotionally involved so far. 5h of gaming, more than 130 gaming on MEA. I really think they need getting a better writting.
I really like the Witcher series, and it improves game to game with 3 on top. The original ME series wins hands down for "the feels" though. I cared about Shep and almost everyone on the crew by the end like they were my own. Witcher doesn't quite pull that off for me even over three games save for Ciri and Vesmir.
...So I have plenty of hope Bioware can go back to the well they tapped for me in ME2 and ME3.

I know this thread is starting to drift from the OP's question, (I did complete "What He Would Have Wanted", and was hoping for a little bit more emotion), but I have to agree that the original ME trilogy created more emotional moments for me (laughter/sadness/vengeance) than any other game or games, with the exceptions of Dragon Age Origins and Witcher 3. I also cared about my Shepard and all of his crew. Those that live and those that die, I really felt something. Witcher 3 had some really emotional moments, but it's difficult to compare with MEA as they are just so different. I did feel for some of the characters like Vesmir, Ciri, Tess (and had a soft spot for the Bloody Baron), but with some exceptions, you spent most of the game traveling by yourself.
