If I want a streamlined experience, with all the 'fat' cut out, and where awesomeness happens when I press a button, I go to DA2.

If I want a deep and engaging RPG, I go to Skyrim.

And if you want sex cards you'd play W2, right?
Sorry, can't get over that.

Just. Buy. both.
DA2 is coming out 2 weeks and Skyrim is coming out in November.


You freakin Dolts.

The Witcher 2 > Skyrim > Mass Effect 2 > Dark Souls > Dragon Age 2 imo..

Toss the Witcher right out of there, swap DA2 with ME2, and you have yourself a list. All worth buying. All very different games.

I don't find that to be true in general.  I don't find Bethesda's games deep or engaging at all.  I find them broad and unfocused.  The story is of kiddie pool depth, the voice acting is mediocre, and the characters skin deep at best. Oblivion was a huge, expansive, completely boring sandbox with no interesting quests or characters.  I could have all the freedom in the world to customize my character and run for miles in any direction, but if there is nothing interesting to do with it, then it is worthless.

Skyrim for Role Playing, exploration, combat, music, story, side-quests, modding and all that good jazz. Dragon Age 2 to fill the gap until its release, so Skyrim will appear even greater when compared and contrasted with DA2.

[Saibh]

Once again, they are not comparable.

What you like better comes down to genre taste. Do you like open worlds with an emphasis on exploration and side quests? Play ES.

Do you like games that heavily emphasis on storytelling, characters, and dialogue? Play DA.

To be honest, most people do prefer the former. The latter sort of game is a pretty specific taste. That doesn't mean it's worse, it just means it's different.

Dragon Age 2, the Witcher 2, Skyrim - all coming up this year. We rpgr's are truly blessed. Why complain?

[Emyer]

Skyrim, so much :3


Completely open character creation and class/leveling system, completely open world and epic one-on-one dragon fights.

"Dragon Age II's" dialogue options are not written intellectually; thus, the game lacks what its predecessor was able to capitalize upon.

I have to disagree there.  The dialogue options are just as well written, if not more so.  It is just that the dialogue is not entirely written there when you select it.  They did this because people tended to skip the dialogue if they read the text beforehand, and would then miss out on the voice acting.  Bioware doesn't want people to skip the voice acting, because it adds a more cinematic, realistic, and dramatic quality to the story.  I agree with their decision, personally.  

"Skyrim" is going to have a beginning, middle, and end.
"Dragon Age II" is going to have a beginning, middle, but no end.

?? What in the world does that mean?  "No end"?

[Eludajae]

Both?

[Gill Kaiser]

Completely different types of RPG, but I'll probably say that Skyrim will have more longevity, by virtue of being extremely moddable and the fact that it's a sandbox game.

Probably talking about the disatisfaction reviewers seem to be having with the ending of the game.

People don't know what some of the reviewers meaning is when they say they didn't like the ending. Most are assuming cliffhanger, and I am too. Still, it's not something you should put money on.

Also, I have to laugh that someone thinks they already know how Skyrim is going to end. And what if it doesn't have an ending? What if it doesn't have a middle act?

Clearly, you're doing this wrong. You're supposed to choose a side and then proceed to insult and belittle anyone who doesn't agree with you. Fence sitters is just a fancy term for coward.

More seriously, though, I'm going to be picking up most of the RPGs out this year. It's possible to enjoy more than one game.

However, we don't do versus threads on these boards as they're rarely constructive. Locking.

Read the Gamestar review located somewhere in General Discussion. I believe the thread title has something about the main quest length being 12-15 hours in the title too, to make it easier to search for.
