witcher 3 skipping all cutscenes focusing solely on story, 25 hours

 

bioware could learn for sure

 

 

easily a 200+ hour game including all side missions and stuff, its dialogue rich too

 

 

and 16 free dlc's are what all companies should be doing

 

got the collectors edition for may 19th baby

What exactly do these free DLC entail? I get the "cosmetic" part, but does that mean just a few sets of armor? Some different colors? What is it exactly?

 

I know one is like Horse armor or something, another is an alt appearance for one of the characters, and some hair & beard stuff for Geralt

Better yet.

 

Be more like Dragon Age: Origins.

Exactly, not saying Bioware needs to have the same feel and the same world as the Witcher, but they need to take their world and put in the obvious mechanics that are superior. But I guess some prefer wandering around picking up Drakestone after Drakestone and an arcless, pointless storyline.

Also there is at least one free side quest/contract.

Or pulled a Bioware and charged for the laser-sighted pistol or a horse with a sword through it's head.

Has anyone released any details on the actual consequences of decisions in this game to be worth mentioning?

 

I will not be shocked when it exhibits many of the "open world" design problems that people are excoriating Bioware for, honestly. Of course, I imagine a lot of people will look the other way when that happens.

 

There's a kotaku review on it though. They liked it.

I wouldn't say be more like Witcher 3 at all. As angry as I have been at Bioware for the myriad of issues with DAI both story and mechanics/crashes related...

 

Why would anyone ever want to have mirrors of game series? The point of it all is to have variety/options of franchises to get behind

 

I'd say Dragon Age should try to go back to Origins or avoid the current path they are on as far as quest styling. But don't try to mirror Witcher 3.

 

Yep, I've played both Witcher games and every Bethesda rpg since Morrowind and enjoy them for different reasons. I'd rather these guys/gals feel inspired by what the other developers are doing than feeling pressured into emulating something that doesn't suit their strength (that's part of what got us fetch quests in DAI). CDPR certainly has never felt pressured into make an epic PC-focused story in any of their games just because the others are doing it, Geralt's story has always been Geralt-focused and world events are more background than the driving force of the story and I wouldn't want it any other way from them.

origins with the focused and well designed interiors, ill take that, more story driven with at least 25 hours if you skip cutscenes, less boring feth quests,  but less side quests but more story driven ones that have an impact?, that would be the perfect dragon age for me, oh lest I forget better hairstyles please

This is a feedback forum.

 

"This feature I found to be X because of Y so maybe you could do Z instead" is feedback. "This feature was terrible" is criticism. Backhanded remarks to satisfy your grief over what you want BioWare to be like is not feedback, it's just childish. You are fully aware that no developer will take this as nothing but an insult.

 

What you're really saying is that you like The Witcher better than Dragon Age, which is fine. Not even DAO was anything like the Witcher, which by your air I'm getting I'm boldly assuming you'd say was vastly superior compared to later installments.

 

I've said this countless times already: The Witcher and Dragon Age compare like Rainbow Six and Max Payne. They are both complex games about shooting stuff, in a similar setting, but they put fundamentally different emphasis on enough details to still make them incomparable.

Apples and oranges. I think we're better off focusing the problems over here instead of trying to replace them with problems from over there. And as people said, W3 isn't even out yet. So, too early apples and oranges as well.

Both apples and oranges are fruit. If DAI is an apples and The Witcher is an orange, Bioware has rot and worms while CDPR is crisp and ripe. There are still things to take away from a ripe fruit of a different species.

For example, CDPR could learn a few things from Bioware on crafting an appealing protagonist.

:whistle: Another good example of a series that is far more well done than Dragon Age.

A TV series (that also based on a book) being more well done than a video game, shocking

On the plus side, maybe next week, all these clowns will leave and we'll be spared the dumb witcher threads for a few months.

Agreed. I'll take good games over most good TV.

 

Mhmm... apples and oranges. Absolutely NOTHING of use here for Bioware...  :whistle:

 

"Which is an excellent thing. The Witcher 3 is a very violent and very adult RPG, with laboured emphasis on the word “adult”. This world is genuinely destitute. Sidequests are less “collect five Nirnroot” and more “save helpless elderly lady from the ruthless thugs burning her house down”."

The DLC is included as part of purchase of the game. This doesn't make it free. Having said that, I hope that TW3 is a good game. I enjoyed TW1 but gave up on TW2 because I hated the controls with keyboard and mouse.

"you're"

 

And that was the least troll-like of my last couple posts. I'm afraid you just don't like that I'm right in drawing comparisons Bioware games could benefit from if implemented.
