I have to admit, i'm more looking forward to the Witcher 2 than DA2. But i'll play both games and i'm sure DA2 will be a fine game as well.

I don't care for Fable...

There is also Two Worlds II - sometime this year, PC and 360

Has multiplayer that some folks like.

Fable 3 isn't even an RPG, so how can that be a rival? Witcher 2 will probably be more of a niche game. I'd say the direct rival for DA2 will be Dungeon Siege 3 which also comes out early 2011.

Also not a rival. It's marred by the first game having poor reviews and uptake in the RPG community, and the developer isn't aiming for sales numbers to rival Dragon Age. If it's anything like the first game, it'll be more hack 'n' slash-y than in depth party based, but I must confess to not looking into it.

I'd say TW2 was more of a rival to Wiedzmin/Witcher 2.

RPGs are about playing a role and immersion, yes? Fable certainly seems to be going for that. It's a hybrid, that's for sure, but it's definitely part RPG.

I played the first Fable and it was crap IMO. Couldn't even finish it. No story to speak of, and the character interactions and overall art style wouldn't be out of place in a pre-school book. The Witcher was on the other hand and amazing game that easily rivals and in a lot of respects surpassed DA. So DA2's primary competition is definitely The Witcher 2.

Fable 3 is more of an action game so I don't think I'd put it as a competitor.



DA2 will most likely sell better than TW2 but I think TW2 will be the better game as was the case with the first in each series.

[Drasill]

On a side note Fable 3 is releasing October 2010 on both 360 and PC. It won't really interfere with DA2 or TW2 which both come out in early 2011.

Actually, CD Projekt Red has said that they're going to develop and market The Witcher 2 as more action-oriented, and people have already sounded their opinions:

I played the Fable (1) it was ok. The Fable 2 was a ball. I am not to thrilled with the Fable 3. Having to buy Kentic. Two Worlds seems like it is going to be fun. I just don't like first person shooters and first games either. I just hope that DA 2 is't first person. I like to see my toon and it is easier for me.

I didn't say anything that contradicts this.

Alek replied to that topic "Let's make it clear once again - The Witcher 2 never will be action RPG, nor arcade-style fighting game. It's been designed as a story-driven, pure-blooded RPG and it will remain the same ;-) " theres more to the reply if you want to read it all.



as for me...I'm gonna get the witcher 2, but keeping any eye on DA2 not much info the game.

Doesn't seem like such a bad direction for a franchise like The Witcher to go. The combat in the first game was nothing to write home to and since the game already focuses on a master swordsman, it's a natural progression. This argument doesn't work for DA2 since we'll be working with much more than one bearded man with a name of a bird.

I just find it curious that some people complains for DA2 because it will have a character with a pre-settled background and VA, and therefore claims to play The Witcher 2 which will have.. oh wait... a totally pre-settled character with VA !

What is the difference then.. Ah yes.. the sex cards !!!!! How could I forget this?

The difference being that The Witcher is based off an existing IP, CDProjekt RED had no previous work for it to be judged by (unlike BioWare with most of their games having no pre-determined-as-such characters) and it would make less sense for the Witcher to not use Geralt as a main character.

The things I remember better of that game are hours and hours of trekking and backtracking, and a lot of CTD on a PC which was double the requested spec. If I would base my opinion on that I would never buy TW2. But since I like to express my opinion on games only after playing them and not before, I'll buy it, obviously, after I'll have bought and played DA2

I personally think that's an irrelevant distinction. A pre-defined character is a pre-defined character... and Geralt is a lot more defined as a character than any Bioware protagonist.

DAO set the character creation method for DA franchise.
The Witcher set the character creation method for TW franchise.
TW2 follows its predecessor, while DA2 breaks it.

They'll never promise to people they won't ever change..
On the contrary, I remember them saying more than once on this forum that people shouldn't expect the game to remain the same, and so for the story and the characters, they told that Dragon Age was an "open" game for different stories and different settings, therefore I am not disappointed, not even surprised because this game is what they prepared us for..

If people didn't hear them or didn't believe them who is guilty?

Seems cruel to offer one way then go in the complete opposite in the second iteration doesn't it?

Yep because Obs is nothing like Bio. They don't make story driven/character focused games. They make Pong.

You'll be working with a grey-haired man with the name of a noble instead?

Im getting both Witcher 2 and DA2 and enjoy this bunch of awesomeness. Im even looking forward W2 a bit more then DA2, maybe because im huge fan of the Witcher world and fan of Sapkowskis books overall
