The Witcher franchise is garbage. Please do not do anything resembling that, Bioware.
It's at least better than the Dragon Age franchise. But to be fair, after the garbage called Dragon age 2 and mediocrity called Inqusition that's not that difficult.
Geralt's indifferent personality has a lot to due to the fact he's a Witcher. The Witchers are suppose to be neutral. Outside forces are constantly forcing Geralt to stay from that neutrality and he's just like, "FFS really?". In the first game he's basically given a taste of both sides in the human vs nonhuman battle. In the later acts he can choose to pick a side or remain neutral. In the second game he's forced again to either choose but this time he can't take a neutral stance. If you've watched the TW3 trailer where he saves the woman accused of witchcraft he's just 100% done with all the bs. While Geralt might not be the pinnacle of personality or character growth they are both there.
Perhaps people don't see Triss and Geralt as being romantic because there's no boy meets girl aspect to it. They've already had sex numerous times before the first game even takes place. They're just basically picking up where they left off before he disappeared. That being said I really enjoy the boy meets girls aspect of the Bioware relationships. It's a nice secondary aspect to the story.
As for which game will be better? As with anything else some people will like both DA:I & TW3 and other will like either or.
Dude calm down, I'm not one of the Biodrones. I'm just saying both Bioware and CD Projekt Red have flaws in how they approach things. I also consider the Witcher superior to Dragon Age, and am eagerly anticipating Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.the sex cards ONLY happen in The witcher 1, that doesnt' happen The Witcher 2, and yes I've played the second one not the first one.
so get off this card crap... and so what? In alot of ways its more realistic, he isn't doing it to 'romance' them he is doing it to have 'sex' with them. Sex =/= Romance. And Romance =/= Sex. Because if you are getting married to have sex, you are very sorely mistaken.

That's the point. Just because in Dragon Age every romance starts with two people behaving like teenagers who are going to have sex for the first time in their life, some people here in BSN assume every sexual encounter has to work this way. One-night stands or just casual sexual relationships doesn't seem to exist in these people's world.

So wait... If two adults meet up and have sex and start a relationship its childish because teenagers? Right.
They're both pretty embarrassing so I guess the fanboys (and girls) can argue about which is least bad.

I don't agree. The issue with the Witcher franchise is that it hinges on Geralt, so if you don't like him (which I don't) then you probably wont like the game.
I understand that Geralt is the main character in the books, but that doesn't mean I have to like him.
I also don't like the gameplay of the Witcher but I feel like if I liked Geralt more I could overlook that and get into the game but try as I might I just can't
In DA - since you can create your own character it is much easier to get into their mindset.

What? So what about the one night stand you can have with Iron Bull, Isabela(in both DA:O & DA2), Morrigan or Zevran? or the brothels in DA:O & DA2?
I gotta say that the Witcher has it easier when it comes to romance, it has one main character and one (non random NPC) LI. Automatically this makes it easy for the romance to be a bigger part of the story, like if DA:O only had Morrigan has an LI.
BioWare's challenge has always been that since they want to let the players choose both their character and potential LI, that romances take up more resources and they can't all be tied heavily into the story.
My main issues with BioWare romances has always been that there tends to be one romance that is tied into the plot much more than the others and they tend to be with the straight female LI.
I'd like them to have 2 or 3 that are more plot relevant or make the 'main' romance bi so more people can experience it.

heh, sadly I think s/he just over simplfied it and your picking on him/her over it, I understood what he ment.
But sadly, I think the real reason people are complaining they want "Wticher style romance" is the hump scenes. And its a game they can get there mommy to buy them that has hump scences in it. Thats the only reason they want them. Because there are full featured porns out there that you can get for free, off the interweb, that maybe there parent controles are blocking.
(btw most of those pornos are rather boring... truthfully)

The term "never live it down" applies - if you make games like that, you deserve to be ridiculed for a long time.the sex cards ONLY happen in The witcher 1, that doesnt' happen The Witcher 2, and yes I've played the second one not the first one.

I wish you could create your own Witcher. Definitely going to play as Ciri in the new one, at least it's something.

You can make the same argument about the DA protagonists as Geralt, though. If you don't like Hawke or the Inquisitor, you might not like the game.
Sorry CD Project Red, but replacing every other word of dialogue with the f word or c word does not make a mature game, and neither does the softcore card minigame.

There is a point where its just obnoxious and should just learn to move on.
Edit: Because if you are going to use it basicly for everything, then you sir are a one track pony.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 'sex cards'. They are just a bit of harmless fun.

Not in the same way. In DA2, I can customise how Hawk looks and her personality. In DA:I, I'm creating my character from scratch, I can decide what I want them to be like.
Geralt comes with a lot of baggage and a set personality.
I wish you could create your own Witcher. Definitely going to play as Ciri in the new one, at least it's something.
The fact that there is a chance to play as Ciri is tempting me to get Witcher 3 but not at launch,
I mean.. really? Playing a set character from books like in the Witcher, is the same as building your character from scratch in DA:I?
Mind is blown.
We didn't get the memo that we have to make a white haired man with scars and yellow eyes and a bland personality but I'll try to remeber that next time I play.

In DA:I, it pretty much is. You get to customize things like appearence and sex, but the character isn't all that more variable than Geralt is in The Witcher.

I don't like people who act like they know everything and say: "this is better than that. Just because." No. It's your subjective opinion. I read all the Witcher books and played TW long before Dragon Age and IN MY OPINION Dragon Age is better.

Have you ever played Dragon Age?

I personally find I have very little say in the personality of the inquisitor. Tried to play him as a hardass, but that got utterly ruined when he started giggling like a girl to Cassandra.

You know you can have one night stands in every DA game including Inquisition, right?
Edit: Got ninja'd

Stoic doesn't equal bland.

No the inquisitor has feelings and a good voice actor. Male american voice makes emotions with his voice very well actually.
