Tactical view is always auto-attack.

I wonder why.

It is good to know, however, that the overhead camera is available outside of combat.

I think The Witcher its a amanzing game , and i think Dragon Age Origins its epic , but make no mistake guys , the best RPG is and always will be:

 

Baldur's Gate  

 

So , now that we made things clear , you dont need to fight anymore , good interview by the way.

 

Oh Snap, here he is everyone" the authority on ALL our opinions, now that you have finally come let me ask you about:

 

Bacon

Clown shoes

Clowns in general

tall people.

High heels

keys that won't fit in the keyhole.

 

I eagerly await your guidance on these difficult subjects, after you just solved the riddle of what's the best RPG.

Thank you!

As I recall, TW1 was on the same engine that was used for NWN1, and used to be spoken about on the old Bioware boards.

Everyone else can discuss the qualities of the Witcher Series, but for me an RPG it is NOT.

Just got hot in this thread....-ducks from the flames-

Did I just step on a proverbial landmine?

I cannot say as I passed on the series, but I am guessing millions of fans would disagree. As for me, it is my hope that TW3 has Pause functionality and has toned down the so-called Mature content; may be able to give it a try next year after a few months of DAI.

Oh look it's the "how do you define an RPG" thing again. Character creation is probably the most trivial thing in a voice acted RPG (along with a first name). Having a set character, makes that character a far more complete individual. 

 

Character creation may appeal to the player, but the game never uses it in meaningful ways.

[KennethAFTopp]

then let's all call Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed an Rpg.

While I agree that there are idiots in every fan base it does seem that lately (at least) there has been allot of this DA;I vs TW3 nonsense and it does mostly seem to be coming from TW fans. 

 

Go onto almost any article or YT video about DA:I and there will be at least one person in the comments saying that TW3 will be better. DA fans don't seem to be doing this on articles and vids about TW. It's probably just because Bioware is an easy target and it doesn't say anything about TW but it really kinda one sided.

Feel free. The Witcher is more grounded in choice and consequence mechanics though. 

[Aran Linvail]

Oh Snap, here he is everyone" the authority on ALL our opinions, now that you have finally come let me ask you about:

 

Bacon - Bacon has a large amount of sodium, and the consumption of a large amount of sodium can put a person at risk for Cardiovascular disease.

Clown shoes - Blue Satin Orlisian shoes have more style.

Clowns in general - Scary People.

tall people. - Must be cold up there.

High heels - Sexy

keys that won't fit in the keyhole. - You are trying the wrong key. ( Paragon )

                                                       You are trying the wrong keyhole. ( Renegade )

Thank you!

 

You're Welcome

It's on sale for the Steam Summer Sale right now for $4. Perhaps Dragon Age fans recommending it will help?
 
It's a great game. Very easy to enjoy without needing to compare it to Dragon Age. And for the price of a cheeseburger!

Mmmmmm. Geralt Cheeseburger.

[KennethAFTopp]

Well there is that, just as long as people enjoy the games. I just play them as a Action Adventure.. or well I would if The Witcher 2 didn't destroy my pc.

It will not have pause functionality. If you by "so-called mature content" mean their approach to sex (which is a minor part of the games' mature content), then expect that to be the same as in witcher 2. A more casual and direct approach to sex is not CDPR's invention, but something Zapkowski describes in the fantasy setting as it among several other things describes the world of the witcher. However sex scenes has always been optional like Bioware romances are optional.

It is interesting how certain game design decisions can elevated or deflate a game despite so many other good or bad points.  I never finished the witcher one, the cobmat was bloody awful and gave me carpal tunnel after a hour or so of play.  It also surprise me by having a lot of standard fetch it quests.  Having hears that the Witcher was really good I have thought of buying the game a few times but have been leery of combat once again.  Some people tell me the combat is much improved, others tell me "Well it;s okay but you have to use 'roll' all the time to have success,..

You are fairly correct there.

The witcher 1 had some odd combat mechanics, which after getting used to them was very easy. But it was restricted by the older NWN engine (aurora I think it was called). The combat in witcher 2 (based on REDEngine) cannot be compared, it is a lot more action based (read better), however it has rightly so gotten a lot of flag for being merciless brutal and many dropped the game within the prologue. That was made better with the arena tutorial in the enhanced edition. Whether you need to dodge roll all the time depends on difficulty setting, but dodge roll is the only escape, which is why they have scrapped that in witcher 3 for more emphasis on parry and pirouettes.

If you're interested in the story but not up to playing the games yourself, I can recommend a lets play by someone called ChristopherOdd on youtube. He is very into storytelling in his lets plays, which I personally like.

Regarding Witcher I, I can recommend using Xpadder in combination with a 360 gamepad for PC. I had the same problem (I also use the computer a lot at work, my wrist is really at risk), but Xpadder has proven a lifesaver, at least for action games that normally require keyboard and mouse. You do need to have a keyboard and mouse nearby for some functions, but you can basically play it as a console game.

If you have a decent enough laptop, hook it up to your TV and surround. Witcher I, like II, is magnificent on a big screen and with surround.

Always has, going back to DA2 vs TW2, its why I vowed then never to buy a Witcher game, albeit before then I had tried Witcher 1 and disliked it.

Aw, don't hold the developer accountable for the actions of its fanbase. I thought the Witcher 1 was meh and that 2 was a great game, so maybe give it a shot if you're bored.

So for those of us too lazy to actually watch it, is there anything learned in this interview we didn't already know, or parts of the game seen we didn't already see?

[Chanda]

Wow, I never realized that Cameron Lee had this sexy Aussie thing going on.

[Travie]

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this. Bioware has been extremely transparent throughout the entire design process. Watch almost any interview on Youtube with Cameron Lee, Mike Laidlaw, or Mark Darrah and they discuss how the franchise has evolved since DA 2.

 

They have discussed how they addressed negative feedback in a round-about way several times, but it doesn't change the fact that he just dodged the question when Angry Joe asked him directly. 

 

Often when I talk about DA:I with friends the conversation turns towards how Bioware has handled their forums after the last few titles were released, especially about how concerns were written off as "confirmation bias" and the sometimes belittling tone that the Devs used when discussing peoples concerns at the time. 

 

Like it or not, it's something that turned a lot of people off to Bioware games.
