Witcher 3 is the last AAA rpg that we will ever see with actual decisions to make and consequences , devs are too afraid too make another one including CDPR , i bet that witcher 4 will be dumbed down version just like cyberpunk is , devs know that in order to make an AAA game in which decisions matter they will need alot of cutscenes for all those outcomes , and that means alot of money
why should they risk it ? when they can just give you the illusion of choice ? as good as witcher 3 was more people finished a game like horizon forbidden west , so they dont like to bother with decision making , its much safer to just dumb down the rpg elements and invest in the quality of the much fewer cutscenes , that way your chance of making profit is much higher , in the end everyone wants profit , thats the main goal
all those upcoming rpgs , witcher 4 , fable , avowed , starfield , i bet they will barely have any rpg elements , look at starfield , all they could talk about was how big is the game and they have thousand of planets and you can visit every one , like size makes a game better , you can see that todd barely talked about rpg elements and when we was asked about it all he had to say is that they are trying to bring back more hardcore elements and the only example he used was the ability to choose your pronouns
imagine asking someone how much of an rpg is your game and he tells you that "its a very hardcore rpg , you can choose your pronouns "
It sucks but AAA rpg is doomed
