I enjoyed your rant, but must disagree. :) Gaming is still a new and fast evolving industry. I agree with you that The Witcher 3 is a fantastic game, but I think Fallout 4 is pretty great too. Those radiant quests are a poor move though, but can easily be ignored - that's what I did. The storytelling was top notch and in my opinion superior to The Witcher 3.

Anyhow, back to the point, your rant is very similar to how people reacted when sound was added to the movies. Gaming is pretty much at that point at this moment. Things will change, evolve, and some old school gamers will be disappointed. But I'm sure, over time, most will learn to adapt.

Have you played Dark Souls 3? Sounds like something right up your alley. :)
