I'm interested to know if any of you guys try The Witcher. The storyline is so male-centric and the camera angles are so bad that I have never finished the game. People seem to passionate enough to attack anyone who dares to attack the legendary game called The Witcher though, so there may be something I'm missing about the game.

Honestly? I found it kinda boring. Although, I did find it amusing how many women you could run around shagging for a laugh. The game is pretty on par with the novels though, Geralt does pretty much shag everything! 

I did like the hairstyles for the witches though, if the Dragon Age team wanna take anything from The Witcher games then it should definitely be the hairstyles.

I played The Witcher 1 and 2. Found them to be really good games. Normally I don't play a game unless I can be female.
I laughed myself silly at the sex cards heh. Gosh did they cause some controversy.
I liked the combat style in 1.. faster than most games - I also really prefered the combat in DA2.


(As much as most of the DA:I area is bad atm the "Unconfirmed rumors..." thread is hillarious!)

I agree, there are many characters with the same hairstyle running around the game. I keep mistaking the Viscount's son for my brother. I do hope they allow us to have long, flowy hair though. I'm a bit tired of short hair on my female protagonist. I guess I'm just sick of the usual alpha male saving the world while women throw themselves at him archetype. Geralt character is just seem too cliche for me. I roll my eyes the entire time I play the game. I probably would have enjoyed the storyline if I have taken it less serious.

Battleblood - I couldnt see that pic you posted... Im curious heh
(Mum was only unbanned from the house recently after the pulling the same thing with Kaidan )

I know what you mean about Geralt and yeah, like I said I typically dont play games with that type of main (male) character, but for some odd reason I enjoyed TW1 / 2.

Im having a huge problem trying to finish Skyrim. Im getting bored it far too quickly. I got as far as flying off... and restarted... about 20 times. I will admit to being a completionist. I like to have every side quest done... and by god there are so freaking many! I get them all done and bam I go to a new area and end up with a bunch more. I think its way too daunting for me heh.

I am hoping that DA:I doesnt end up quite that bad. but I like the sound of more expansive areas.


and I know this was mentioned pages back - but knowing Mr.Gaider and his love of bittersweet / fangirl tears... I just have this feeling something horrible is in store for poor Cullen. I dont think he can help himself.

I couldn't get into Skyrim, although I finished the main quest and quite a few on the side quests. I definitely prefer The Witcher games to Skyrim though.

LOL, I have a bad feeling about that too. I'm expecting something terrible to happen to him... I dunno what's worse, him just being a crappy npc/cameo or having him as a romanceable companion and then promptly dying without us being able to save him, or Maker knows what!

I should probably say Bioware in general instead of just picking on Mr Gaider lol
Yes, exactly Lola! I swear they will either make him die a horrid death or do something to seperate them forever after Cullen finally starts to find his happy.
I just know it lol.
(Yes, I have the utmost faith in bioware writers I can picture them sitting in their writers den rubbing their hands together, evil glints in their eyes, as they gleefully discuss how best they can make us sob)

Worse yet, you are forced to have a confrontation with him and you must kill him in order to proceed. I'm a sucker for happily ever after. Cullen needs to be alive, so we can both run into sunset together.

I hope that he doesn't mean anything when he said that he prefer Thane and Jacob's relationship. Hopefully, he doesn't mean that Cullen would be cheating on you. I would take a dead Cullen over a cheating Cullen. Man, I'm twisted.

You can bet your arse on it LOL. They love making the fans cry! I'm fully expecting for it to all go ****** up for my character and Cullen. DG once said in an interview that he predicted "angst" in his future lol.

I haven't played the Witcher, but I have been interested by it however. Not so much the sex cards (which are sort of a turn off anyway), but the idea of a dark fantasy world that has this much more different take on fantasy than what we're used to. There is dark fantasy and then there is super dark fantasy.

At the risk of sounding racist (please forgive me if I do) but unlike North American fantasy the Witcher is very euro centric, as in they have more freedom with their content than the very restrictive North American crowd. There are less taboos and less restrictive content laws, so they are free to have just about anything that wouldn't be overly tramatic like killing babies or something.

The story is supposed to be pretty good and very different based on your choices. There are entire sections of different dialogue/outcomes based on what choice you made (I've heard) which is my personal appeal,but yeah boobs are the first thing I heard about the game and as much as I enjoy them...it almost ruined what could have been a great series to me.

I couldn't imagine him being the cheating sort since he seems to be a man of his word, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was already married so that we couldn't romance him. Speaking of which, myself and R2 wrote a fanfic about that concept if you guys wanna have a read:

I should just start crying now lol.
Whats the bet they read through this looking for our worst case scenarios.

Seriously, whats the deal with avoiding happy endings these days!
Can't we just have one game that has the chance :innocent:

Granted I liked the DA:O end.. until Awakenings..

I should stick with fanfiction

(I read that yesterday Lola, very well done! I teared up and went to bed to watch a happy movie with my daughter and  a tub of icecream

I think that he just meant that he prefers a sense of failure to come with every relationship. Like in DA:O where Morrigan leaves you and Alistair can dump you. Not necessarily death, but something known from the outset know what I mean?

I'd probably invite her on a skiing trip.

j/k

It would suck though. I romanced Tali in ME2 and seeing her with Garrus in ME3 kind of annoyed me, can't blame me since I finally am able to romance Kaidan . It would be so disappointing if Cullen is a married man in the next game, not so much if he's a widow though. It would be nice change of pace if there's a single dad LI in the game.

Your story is so sweet, I like the last line the most. It's a nice escape from all the craziness from the forum.

"Oh dear, Cullen... your wife appears to have fallen upon this murder knife and died. I wonder how that happened!" 

Lol thanks! I think if something like mine and R2's story was to happen in DA3, although it would be bittersweet I'd still be gutted as hell!

I would be okay with that as long as it's not mandatory. I would be so upset if they force you to kill Anders in DA2. I don't mind some up and down in relationship but forcing us to end a romance without a possibility of reconcilation would not be a good idea. I feel like they would make certain romances seem inferior because you won't have your Hollywood ending with that certain LI .

Agreed. So long as it's preventable then it's all good. If Cullen did die in DA3 or something horrible happened to him surrounding the romance arc and there was no way to save him/the relationships then I'd certainly feel like maybe the writers had purposely done it to troll us for being so irritating. Same as if he's been hit with the ugly stick I'd feel like it would be their revenge for us "objectifying him".

Yeah I agree, but sometimes when that person leaves you the return is all the more sweeter. Like me and Morrigan. But DA: O isn't the best example because it also made those relationships seem more...important in my mind, though part of that is because those characters were rather central to the plot. However without Morrigan's return in the DLC you could say that her ending is the worst of the four. She is the only one who doesn't stay around and you can't really change that.

DA2 made those characters central to the plot but in a secondary way. Though you could say Anders and Isabela is the "superior" romances for either gender because of how involved they are with the main plot.

I don't think they would.  There would be uproar.  I think it will all be down to the choices you make. So as always I will ensure I make lots of "saves"!

I don't think any of the romances will be plain sailing (probably a lot of 'angst' as has been discussed), but if you play it right, the protagonist may not end up lonely (not saying it will be a happy ever after though).  I have to admit being a bit of an optimist, but I think that's an age thing!

[LolaLei]

That reminds me something that annoys me in the BSN.

I hate when people **** that DA2 had a set ending that we had no control over. Are they really surprised? It's the second game and really only serves as the plot set up to DA3, there's no way they could've had various endings because certain things needed to happen in order for the Mage/Templar war to kick off and for Hawke (and the Warden) to suddenly disappear. It's like the first Mass Effect game, that had one ending but no one ****es about that.

[Newschmoo]

Sorry, forgot to ask - do Thane and Jacob cheat on you in ME? I only ask as I am currently playing the Trilogy (going through ME2 at the moment).

I wouldn't put it past them lol

Basically, I play games to have fun, laugh, cry, whatever.... if the sad far outweighs everything, *for me* it takes away from the fun (case in point the ME3 ending kinda ruined the series for me... I still play it but Im detached from the story now, it's just a shooter) I don't want that for my DA games. I get far more tied up in the story then I should (lol) but it's what makes a great game - or book - for me,, I will admit to getting emotional when it comes to a book, movie, game etc hence me prefering a happy ending.  Plus, my daughter thinks I'm insane when she walks in and Im teared up over the end of a game.
