BG3 is successful despte its turn based RPG mechanics. its the narrative thats driving the popularity. Unfortunately turn based is niche, unless you have a great hook (BG3->interactive story, honkai->anime gatcha)

Incorrect. The turn based combat that allows and inspires you to do stuff like this is certainly one of the things driving the game's popularity.

Considering that Witcher 3 has been cited as an inspiration for Square Enix directors then i think its possible but you won't see its influence until at least the later half of this decade.
