You do know there are still people who have not beat wild hunt and got it at launch right? Saying you can't do 200 hours is false, people have. The fact that people have put so much time into TW3 without mods like skyrim and fO4 and continue to do so says alot about the game it self.
I did acknowledge this by giving half the credit to modders though, didn't I? Although I merely pointed it out to show you how much freedom affects playtime and sales even when its available on a mediocre game.
TW3 is a very good game, no one here denied that. But the thread title is rather offensive to both Bioware and fans. ME trilogy (not an individual game, all three combined) has dominated its own genre, there is simply no better series. Of course I mean Action-Shooter RPG and it has been loyal to both RPG and shooter style. Like the only contender is fallout series. ME does not need any influence from any game, its the game that influences other games.
