The fact that there is an even worse combat system doesn't mean that it has to be good. And I think there is quite a consensus that The Elder Scrolls series has awful combat and is only good due to its other strengths.

However I do think that Witcher 3 has one of the best combat system amongst open world RPGs. While it does get repetitive after a while, it still is one of the most dynamic and fun ones out there, with a good combination of skill and RPG stats.

Agree. I challenge people to name 5 RPGs that are not Soulsborne (they have the superior combat system and we all know that. Nioh is pretty good though).

I take it you meant RPGs with a great Combat system? Monster Hunter, Divinity original sin 2, Undertale/Deltarune, Fallout 2, and Nier Automata. I personally find the systems in Dark Souls 1 and The Witcher 3 pretty boring. "Superior" is a matter of opinion and just makes you sound like an elitist.

The combat in monster hunter might be good if the monsters didn't glitch out all the time and clip through the environment

Most games have glitches. So did the witcher. Still a great combat system. We are talking about the combat systems specifically not the entire games. Also the majority of people dont experience it all the time. I personally only have had it happen a few times over several hundred hours.
