The Witcher 3 will be way better than anything BioWare has ever done.

 

*hides*

 

Nah, Star Citizen will be better than everything.  Because reasons and ****.

I have to commend you on the epic irony of calling something with true mature content middle school while sporting Tommy Servo as your avatar from Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Nothing middle school about that. Not at all. And I don't mean to offend you either. On the off-chance that you do know those guys from MST3000 can you ask them to start doing their age-old audience setup with video games! I would love their entirely witty and adult perspective on unicorn sex while watching or playing The Witcher 3.

Should they cover Dragon Age-if they get passed reading all of it's content aloud and still have the ability to make it funny I will watch it.

Heh, ok dude. Geralt the witcher is very mature, and not at all the (social studies) textbook wish fulfillment of a 14 and a half year old.

I think the damn game will probably be pretty good, assuming they learn from their past games, particularly the nigh unplayable first game. I'll certainly try it at some point, in spite of the lame protagonist (and the faction of dependably obnoxious fans here on the BSN).

I hope you mean buy it.

[United Servo Academy Choir]

I hope you mean buy it.

Of course. A year or two down the line, on sale, for $5 give or take, like I did with the first two games.

I may be a dashingly handsome red automaton with a marvelous singing voice, but I'm no pirate.

Let Dragon Age be Dragon Age, I agree, yet there are some design decisions in TW3 that BW should consider. I'm talking about open world structure. I've read from the reviews that TW3 is free from fetch quests and one of the reviewers said that one of the easiest side quest can be described by this picture:

 

And, of course, you have cinematic camera with every NPC.

 

Weird, I've heard quite the opposite. Well, if it's true, then at least we've got normal side quests as well.

Yeah, I have read quite the opposite, too. Most of the reviews I have read (even the ones who point out flaws) state that the smallest of side quests seemed to have consequences. From the vast majority of reviews I read, this excerpt intrigues me the most about side quests. 

 

Spoiler

The towns feel alive with events happening all around, like drunken bar fights and houses burning down. You never feel like a bystander – you are a part of what's going on around you. You can choose how involved you want to get, and even little choices carry consequences. For instance, I told off a religious man preaching about the dangers of witchers, and he later sent thugs to beat me up.

Unlike games that offer a few key choices to alter the narrative, The Witcher 3 provides abundant options that can shape the world in all kinds of ways. Hundreds of quests are available across the map, focusing on monster contracts and treasure hunts, while smaller story quests center on the inhabitants of each town. I was surprised at the variety and how well-written the quests are – everything holds an unexpected story, like a jealous woman trying to steal her sister's werewolf boyfriend. It made exploring the world a blast; I always looked forward to revisiting past people I helped to see what path I set them on. In one case, I chose between a brother and sister for the throne and saw the empire flourish due to my decision.

I've never felt so connected and like I had so much power over a virtual world before. The dilemmas are some of best in the series. You have plenty of ways to solve them (like brute force, doing favors, and using witcher powers), but I never felt judged for any of my choices. My favorite part is how the writers are always one step ahead and my decisions are never safe; the shades of gray mean that you never know who to trust, requiring you think carefully about every situation. The world is brutal, full of liars and tricksters just waiting to outsmart you. Would you trust someone who tells you to throw a baby in the oven if it's for the greater good? I didn't – but maybe I should have. 

 

Here is the entire review if anyone is interested.

 

Of course, I always take reviews with a grain of salt. In the end, only my thoughts, experience and opinion matters. I do like to use them for feature checks, possible bug issues, a general feel of the game, etc. Having said that, the details about some of the missions, interactions and described ambiance have me really excited. We'll see if it all pans out in the end. 

[Mihura]

No thanks, dragon age is fine the way it is. The problem with the last one is actually trying to be something that the game is not. If they did less open world and more main quest focus with some side quests, the game would had been better.

I like TW and probably going to be playing it next week but for the love of the Maker, the game is not perfect. There are reviews that disliked the combat calling to streamlining, with some fetch quest and a casual main story. The only thing I am hype about, it is the possibility that Ciri will be the next protagonist because the game seems a lot worse than TW 2 when it comes to the main story.

[o Ventus]

Yeah, DAI should definitely copy the Witcher. I mean, it worked out really well when Medal of Honor tried to rip-off Call of Duty, didn't it?

[Eelectrica]

I'd be happy if they took the quest design with choices on how to resolve things.

Will make up my own mind next week when I get to play the it about other things. I mean I'd prefer DA to remain a party based game with multiple race and gender selection.

[Snook]

Much as I love my Witcher, I'm already playing Witcher. Not sure why I'd want BioWare's version of it too. 

 

Mind you I do think there are cues they could take, of course. Like...dynamic beard growth. That right there could improve anything.

So you want them to make a set character with barely no customization then?

[KBomb]

Well, to be fair--the OP didn't ask for DAI to be a clone. He asked that:

 

-Quests and decisions have more consequences.

-To operate more like an open world game should.

-To have looting and harvesting actually mean something 

-To have better gameplay

 

Even if TW3 does or does have have these things, DAI could certainly improve on some of them. YMMV, but I have seen dozens of threads asking for these improvements. It's only because it's compared to the TW3 that people get so ruffled. 

 

People should stop being so sensitive maybe. I have played games and thought, "I wish they'd take Bioware's approach to this instead." I have thought the same thing about other companies while playing other games.

I...don't believe I ever said that? Or implied that? Or...anything, really?

In any event, there's even a Skyrim mod for this, my son. If there's one thing Dragon Age does need to steal from other games like TES or The Witcher, it's facial fuzz. Get on it, BioWare. You ain't fooling anybody with dem fake lookin' beards.

People get sensitive because the comparisons are usually done in bad faith (look at the OP's latest post on this page), and because they are done ad nauseum. It becomes twice as annoying when they haven't even played the game they are praising.

It would indeed be nice if we could compare and contrast over beers and cigars, but that internet ship sailed long ago.

[TaHol]

This games tried to be too many other games allready and look what we got. So now it should be one more other game? This is getting tiring.

[bondari reloads.]

Hah! This thread is but a warm-up for the engaging and insightful discussions to come.

You may very well look to W3 for things that could be made better next time a DA game comes around, but you should first play the game you think the devs should take cues from.

Considering most of these topics have a clear title to what lies inside-- it would make sense not to support threads like this by posting in them, especially knowing that you're going to be upset even before typing out your reply. If you feel it's a bait thread, why get reeled in?

I agree these threads would make much more sense if the game was on the shelf. However, I see nothing wrong with comparing it to features that we read about in reviews and/or articles. After all, a good idea is a good idea.

When I read that your decisions in most side quests in TW3 actually have visual and lasting consequences, I thought-- "Wow, wish DAI had that." If I find TW3 doesn't have that, it isn't going to change the fact that I wish DAI did.

I see a lot wrong with comparing a game that's released with one that isn't. Because DA:I certainly marketed a lot of good ideas that were either a small part of the game (participating in banter via an interactive dialogue wheel) or not included (conquering keeps) or not as common as we expected (cinematic dialogue in story based missions).

You must have missed the last paragraph of my post.

Bioware did advertise and marketed a lot of things and then fell through with them. I agree. TW3 could very well be the same. I don't think it will, but it could. Regardless, I can read a review that discusses the vast consequences of quests and read about dynamic beards and lively and dynamic villages and think those are excellent ideas and suggest that Bioware keeps those ideas and suggestions in mind for further games.

If TW3 lacks those things, I will definitely complain about it-- but I will still think Bioware should consider those ideas. That opinion hurts no one and if it bothers someone's sensibilities they certainly have the option of skipping the discussion or not replying to them.

May I have the link of the review? thank you

I'd like Dragon Age to go back to being Dragon Age. Right now it is just a patchwork or various other games, and it shows.

 

Leave the witcher alone and let it be its own thing. Different identity, and all that.
