Unless Geralt of Rivia is suddenly down with the man-love, then there's no comparison as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry Geralt have only one love Yennefer.

This wonderfully expresses one of my major problems with the Witcher games. Geralt likes these people, I do not. Geralt has  history with these people and I do not. I played all through the Witcher 2 hoping to find a connection that would make me care about the world and it's plight, this discussion has made me realize that I have no such connection, so thank you for that. Looking back on it, the only reason I was going to play TW3, was the monster hunting, and open world nature of the game and since I honestly don't know if that will be enough for me, I will wait for a price drop before picking up TW3.

I mean next year I have Torment: Tides of Numenera, Project Eternity an DA:I coming out so I am good for RPGs.

Read the books.

What an original thread.

I just want to commend you, OP. This has never been done before. Comparing Dragon Age and The Witcher! Well done! How unique.

You got anything else to do besides be needlessly rude?

I will get The Witcher 3 eventually, but only when the price drops a bit. I'll buy Inquisition at launch or even pre-order it. I just feel more connected to Dragon Age, while The Witcher doesn't keep me involved after I played the game.

I got The Witcher 1 almost 2 years ago, but I didn't do much with it. I thought the world looked ugly, Geralt seemed boring and the gameplay wasn't really interesting. Last year, I bought the enhanced edition of The Witcher 2 because it was on a steam sale. It looked good and I heard some interesting things about it. After playing it a few hours it got to the point where it became interesting. The world looked marvelous, the plot developed itself really well and there were some nice twists here and there. The story branched wonderfully in the second act and my choices really mattered.

However, I've only played it once and won't do it again. Because I don't connect (visually or emotionally) to Geralt. While the characters he got involved with, were well written plotwise, they still feel like they didn't connect with Geralt as well. Both the Warden and Hawke did connect with me. I become the main character, I'm not just playing someone's tale. Being able to create a character, give him/her a certain look, makes it way more accessible. Interacting with memorable characters and even getting romanticly involved with a character I find interesting. Not because I have to or the game pushes me in that direction, but simply because that one stands out. It gives more identity to the game, while The Witcher has more of a set identity. One you can't do much about it and some might prefer that, but I want to decide who my character will become.

That said, that doesn't mean I don't play or like games who have a set protagonist. I'll still enjoy the game if it's good, but there is less of a connection with the universe it's set in, because I haven't 'lived' in it.

I have two must-buys for next year: Elder Scrolls Online and Dragon Age Inquisition. Everything expect that will depend on more variables.

Depends on when they come out. If they come out around the same time I'll probably be buying TW3 first and then depending on what I hear about DA:I I'll be more or less inclined to drop another $60.00 on a game.

Big budget RPGs dont grow in trees so I'll be loving both. I game for fun without pining away for the baggage of the 'real world' to be beating me over the head as I do it.

This.

I love both franchises, will buy both eventually.  I just want to enjoy myself.  

Also thanks to those who posted info on some of the the other games coming out.   :happy: 
It seems there'll be plenty to keep me occupied for a while.

Lol, seriously? Have you not been here for the last year when these threads were deliberately made as flamebait?

So you know for a fact that this thread was flamebait? Or you think that it BEING flamebait excuses you from your own actions?  For someone who gets self-righteous about how others respond to Qistina, you're not exactly on your own best behavior here.

Seven pages? Really?

I dont think anyone who uses that term really knows what it means....

[LinksOcarina]

Possibly yeah, but honestly does it matter much is the better question to ask.

Witcher is an established book series, Dragon Age an established game series, and both are doing different things in the same space. No room for everyone anymore or has it come down to one vs one?

Of course people would just pick CD Projekt Red in the end because they like them over EA, but even then thats a silly reason to get anything in the end.

[Heimdall]

I can't get into playing the Witcher games at all really, I've tried. I just can't get past how defined Geralt is. At least Hawke and Shepard made a decent attempt at being open to player characterization.

So there won't be any competition for my money anyway.

[Thrillian]

I wonder how pathetic my life would have to be in order to care how and why another person purchases and plays single player games? Pretty darned, I'd say.

Anyway, on topic. I will more than likely purchase both but DA:I will be an :instant it's available" buy, while TW3 will be a "when I have time" buy. I enjoyed TW2 fine (haven't played the first one yet) and I actually really like Geralt but I enjoy creating my own character and the character interaction of DA far more.

[Eralrik]

I will be buying both and ordering the Collectors Editions, I've enjoyed both game series and to the disbelief of a topic on yahoo I enjoyed DA2 and made it known in a post there though I did get 678 thumbs down for likeing DA2 lol. I don't mind! I play them for entertainment and to escape the real world that being said I still can't finish ME3 because the endings sucked.

[slimgrin]

Troll thread, but it brings up an interesting point: I tend to agree with others who say more to the party is a good thing. Both Bioware and CDPR might benefit if their titles release around the same time. It'd be different in a more saturated genre, like military FPS. But with story-driven fantasy RPGs, I think many players will scoop up whatever they can.

Getting both. There's really nothing stopping me from doing so. However, if I had a choice of only one, I'd choose DA:I, the biggest reason being I prefer party-based RPGs.

Why do people seem to confuse this with some possible result for sports match?

Because this is the internet, where our opinions matter and our words must make everything about other things sucking. 


I don't know why, people just do it and it annoys me. 

[HiroVoid]

The only true way to decide is between cinematic trailers. For reference for previous games.

Witcher 2 -
