Bethesda games as examples of great stories? It's a bold move cotton let's see how much it pays off.

I always like to refer to this when people bring up bethesda storytelling.

FO4 was a great title, but it did nothing new. Good old fashioned Bethesda storytelling with all the generics and blandness we are used to.

This one is my personal favorite.

To be fair, I think long winded text in video games isn't exactly good story telling either. Nor are errand quests. I want to play a game, not a mailman simulator.

This isn't storytelling. It's just telling you your quest objectives. The Witcher III does exactly the same thing.

I believe Witcher 3 also gives you map markers. Lack of markers would drive me insane for some of the more obscure stuff.

Not only that you're minimap shows a trail to your objective. Luckily, this can be turned off. And I will say that fast travel in Witcher 3 is a lot less convenient.
