Considering the amount of praise the witcher gets for being way more grounded and believable than many other fantasy games these days, (say DAI), to say it's standard fantasy is quite disengenous. And yes the statement makes sense under scrutiny, ----->imho these games are less tropey than this game<----nothing about that statement should turn heads, especially considering the context of how much zombie/zombie-like media was around when TLOU was released. But that's neither here nor there, UC4 hopefully will be less tropey and full of surprises, the villain at least seems much more interesting than Marlowe and Talbot.
