Well, if you are going to build a game of this scale and budget, you have to appeal to a mass market, so making it too "weird" is an unacceptable risk unfortunately. That's why the weird-but-sometimes-wonderful ideas are left to lower-budget indie titles, which can be successful even if they only find a niche audience... I'd also add System Shock and Bioshock to your list (Ok, arguably not really RPGs).

What CDPR is doing with buildings alone, adding verticality to cities, is worth being excited about. Like, I love CRPG games for the core mechanic or design philosophy. And I love that we are finally branching out of standard fantasy. As much as 2k games love to shoot them selves in the foot and violate their reputation, adding a story with rpg mechanics into basketball was a great decision. I’d love to play a game where you role play as a boxer, or a soccer player. Basically I’m always stoked to play a progressive RPG. Fantasy is great but I for one can burn out on it pretty quickly.
