Keira: Cos ur not, I don't intend to pay u.
Geralt: In that case... Let's bang
Or in the case of my Geralt who just watched the stars with her. 
As for import saves, I agree that both companies should do better but I do have to give BW some points on at least trying. Poor Iroveth, I don't even want to play my elf side import. I do like that the tattoo I got in TW2 is imported. For DA, I still see no reason why Leliana lives.
How is my opinion wrong? I think TW3 does level progression better than DAI it is just what I think.I have not manage to outlevel most things. They are either on the par with me or higher level. Also, it doesn't seem to hand out a ton of experience at every turn.
I think you're wrong because you're conflating that TW3 lets you pace out content better - that it, it has enough content for each level range that if you follow the levels directly you won't outlevel it - with the possibility that it's very, very easy to outlevel content. DA:I has more XP than you need, with a weird level curve. But TW3 - with the plethora of unconnected map areas of interest (e.g. treasure maps, bandit campts, etc.) also easily allows you to outlevel content. I haven't been at the same pace for where I should be in the story since right when I got to Velen, because my playstyle is open world stuff first -> then quests. And since I do the open world stuff I get lots of (relatively) OP weapon and armour schematics, all of which make the actual loot drops just cash farms.
In fact you can even outlevel the Gwent (in the sense that you can pick up more cards faster than you need to win out on the equivalent Gwent quest for your region).
Somewhat related to that point, Gwent is awesome, and DA:I really needs to do a mini-game like it.
Wicked Grace mini-game for DA4 would be very nice.
Honestly, Gwent is a bit like (from what I can tell based on the internet parodies) "Yu-gi-oh: The Witcher Edition". It's a cool mini-game, though, and I'm all for DA:I coming up with an equivalent.
Though I favour some board-game chess variant.
Or something like the FF8/FF9 triple triad.

As long as we get a DA version of Blackjack also

<shudder> Please, not Triple Triad. Sorry, bad bad flashbacks of that mini-game. I can still hear the mouth harp music in my mind. Stupid freaking Queen of Cards and her arbitrary random changes of the rules each match....
Edit: I liked Sphere Break, but then again, I think I'm one of the only FFX-2 fans on the forums. 
I liked the pazaak game in the "Knight of the Old Republic"-franchise so I would be game for mini-games like it and the ones mentioned above. I found it a lot of fun but I suppose it might depend upon whether or not you stand the potential randomness factor of it.
Be more like TW3 where the major choices of the previous game are handwaived and ignored altogether!
*still salty over Iorveth*
Not really surprising though, seeing as CDPR never really even pretended to care much about the save import feature. IIRC there was actually a point in TW3's development where it wasn't even there and they had no plans on implementing it.

I'd prefer 100% set rules and I also agree with Elhanan that it should be optional. It would be fun though.
I maintain that ambition is a conscious choice. You choose to be ambitious, or you choose not to be. That ambition, combined with otherwise unexceptional characteristics, produces failure, more often than not. But not always.Where we disagree, I think, is in the notion of potential. Capacity is something that - to a large degree - is inborn. Not everyone might well reach their potential (cf. many athletes), or they might be missing some key quality to being successful, but just in virtue of having some (or all) of the qualities necessary for that kind of superlative success they are "special" in the literal meaning of the word: better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual.

The randomness was mostly from the fact that you didn't know which specific cards would be drawn from the deck you'd put together and which card you would dealt as well as your opponent's cards. I liked that it seemed random towards both the player and their opponent but that may have only been in the sequel that became thing. I also found it amusing that my character made most of their credits from winning at cards - gambling helped save the galaxy - twice!

Ah, okay. That makes sense. KotoR and Jade Empire are the only two BioWare games I haven't played, so I'm not very familiar with Pazaak. I'd be fine with the random cards though. it sounds neat and a fun way to possible make some in-game cash too.

It's a twist on blackjack (some cards subtract values), where you're always at a disadvantage because it moves in turns and you have to play first.

I wasn't surprised since the import from TW1 to TW2 was terrible too.
That doesn't make it excusable in the slightest and it's a massive failure imo.
As it stands The Witcher series is a nice collection of three standalone games (all three very good on their own), but as a series, lolololol.
EDIT: And yes Bioware isn't exactly rocking the boat with choices from previous games mattering, but they've done a much better job in that regard, with both ME and DA. What CDPR does way better is choices mattering within each self contained game.

As much as I like TW3 they really failed hard with the save import
I mean I didn't mind as much from TW1 to TW2 since you didn't make any big decisions in TW1
But in TW2 you decided the fates of kings and entire countries so for all that to be retconned is quite disappointing
Thankfully the rest of the game is a freaking masterpiece so its not that bad
So Bioware should still look at TW3 (minus the save import)
I don't really see how Iroveth not being in the game is entirely bad. If they didn't have a spot or relavent plot for him. One of the compliants I see about DA2 is pointless cameos. I would rather CDPR not put him in there than have a pointless cameo.
Also, I thought the whole point of the Nilfgaard invasion was that everything pretty much reset. Because at the end of the Witcher 2 Temeria was still pretty much without a king.I think it's Aedrin was without leadership. Also, even if you helped Sasika I don't see how her army could withstand Radavoid or Nilfgaaard forces and hold the Pontar Valley. Cause they only seem to win if you where there. And any number of things could have happened to Henselt.
I will never understand this mindset
I will never understand how these old European-based characters should sound American.
Triss Merigold comes off like Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Dandelion sounds like he's in a production by Rogers and Hammerstein. He also comes off more like a con man than a nosy troubadour. I'm wondering if any character says 'okay', which is an American slang.
I believe CDPR has said that some characters are looking to make a comeback in the upcoming expansions (Shani came up more than once) so I wouldn't be surprised if Iorveth still turned up at some point down the line. Not sure why he'd leave Saskia's side though.

You could always play the game in its natural language.

To everyone whining that Geralt's only agenda is to plough other women or that the entire Witcher is only about sex.
There's so much humor in Witcher 3, it's great!
I saw a girl dancing in a brothel recently, singing "I'm a material girl, in a material world." 
Edit: As I've seen the new Shadowrun being mentioned several times, I was a kickstarter supporter and I must say that it's the game that has surprised me the most out of all I've supported. Great gameplay and imho, fantastic writing. Was hooked from start to finish. Read every single line of text and enjoyed it.
Yeah. I'll throw one in as well with how impressed I was with Dragonfall. Definitely looking forward to the sequel.
