Bethesda has EVERY RIGHT to be proud i am still playing Fallout New Vegas and it still kicks ass. I bought on release day 17 may 2011 The Witcher 2, Fable 3 and the DLC Honest Hearts for FONV. I am currently playing Fable 3 ONLY because it downloaded to my PC before the others so it was a race and Steam won by the slimmest margin and i still can not even be bothered to buy DA2 yet such in my contempt for what was done. DA2 RPG of the year that is a laugh it is not even an RPG or is by the slimmest margins. No character customization, no companion customization, combat that is nothing more than a "kite fight", a consolized bastardization of an EPIC game reduced to over hyped trash to appeal to the ADD CoD crowd.
If you want RPG Bethesda is THE only company that knows how to do it right, an RPG is all about the details. Bethesda does not get overwhelmed with thier own self importance and gets out of the player's way and allows the PC to be the MOST important character in the world. They spent the time to ensure that just about any builld can complete the game leaving alot of room for replay after replay. It is this depth that makes a truely epic RPG, not the story, it is simply here is the mechanics, here is the world, write your own story that is epic RPG that was DAO that is NOT DA2.
Is Fable 3 a truely epic RPG like FONV or FO3 no it is not but was not sold as one either, unlike DA2. Fable 3 is still however a good game, it runs well on my PC, i have not had any bugs, it LOOKS FANTASTIC, and is simple enough to be picked up yet has enough detail to require a second or even third play and in no way takes itself too seriously unlike DA2. Lionhead did a decient job with what was most obviously a console game, one can feel the influence of the antiquated hardware like the chaffing of an over starched collar the game was originally made for.
DA2 as RPG of the year man that is good i hear Charlie Sheen needs good writers OP send that one in i am sure he can use the jokes.
