I know it's a basically a cliche now, but The Witcher 3 really has ruined most other open world RPGs for me.

I was told by someone I trust that The Witcher 3 is the epitome of stupid easy busy work disguised as content.

Some of it might be, but if it's disguised so well you don't know the difference, does it matter? Even the most basic of quests always seems to have a good through-narrative to it. It was the fact that not only did the game tell some great stories in it's larger quests but it made the standard fare that most RPGs include have more weight somehow. They didn't do everything like they were checking off a box ("100 side quests in this zone...check") but they added personality and granularity to all their content, even if the actual core of the content was quite plain.
