I think the Witcher comparison is basically just that it’s a third-person fantasy open world RPG with melee combat and magic. I really wouldn’t read too much into it. Horizon has also been compared to Fable because the success of Horizon is why Fable was greenlit, but they will still be very different games even if they fill a similar gap in the portfolio.
By witcher like I don’t expect them to mean same tone but hoping for quest depth and exploration

I think that’s fair to expect. But I don’t think it will have the same tone. Fable will be far more systemic and “role-playing-y” like the originals.

Of all the things they should be taking from the Witcher, combat ain’t one of them

Hopefully a significantly better feeling combat system. It’s fine if the basics are like Witcher 3, but it should feel better, fun. This was missing in W3.

Which means he’s in podcast mode aka “just bantering for pod content” lol.
Only take him at his word when he’s put it in writing, otherwise he’s just waffling and bantering with Rand.

Yes, the combat needs to not play anything like The Witcher control wise.

Comparing it to the witcher does not fill me with joy. Fable was more focused on gameplay, while witcher mostly focuses on the narrative with little enjoyable game play imo.
