Love me some PoE. Haven't played the expansion yet though, waiting for the second part to be released.
My Steam library is full of games, i haven't played but bought because of sales(PoE included). Though it's next on my list to play, after i'm done with Fallout 4. There is simply not enough time for all those games. I'm sure i'll be an old geezer until i finish my " to play" list. 
Edit: Ah, i forgot. Happy 500 pages!
Sweet.
Spoiler
Nice! More trophies for old Geralt.
The best music is well deserved as well. Percival really brings something amazing, beautiful & traditional from viking and slavic culture.
P.S. Happy 500th page!
Percival sort of reminds me of Wardruna
Wardruna is more focusing on viking and rock in my opinion. Percival brings in a lot actual Slovic folk songs (Polish, Serbian, Bulgarian etc.) which are heavily influenced Viking culture.
For example, Gusta mi magla --- a famous Serbian folk song, which reminds me Yenna every time. 
Lazare is actually a Bulgarian folk song:
And the oringal version of "La la la" song has tones from Anatolia:

In all, TW3 has pieces from various cultures and delivered as an unique masterpiece.

What do you say, should i give Vikings a go?
I know I said I was done with this thread here but honestly just have to say I don't know who annoys me more, the people who worship the ground Tim Cain walks on because no one could possibly surpass Fallout 1 and rage against Fallout 4 or whatever, or the people who wistfully blow off the old games as nostalgia ridden in their attempt to excuse their own lack of understanding or appreciation for them (or maybe just their late arrival)
For me, yes the earlier games are often objectively better, whatever series we are talking about, but oftentimes, the more recent or earlier iterations are not so much worse. So it's not even as though people are all wrong or all right here.
I guess they just deserve each other....
For my taste, I feel like maybe I'll find to blow through Fallout 4 at some point, but the fact that it's Fallout and not The Elder Scrolls which I never had a strong attachment to in the first place makes me uneasy, plus the fact that they jammed it to the max with pandering and so on.
At least Skyrim was kind of honest in it's move away from Morrowind, it was like "yeah, it's just plain old Nordic tribal primitive frozen warrior land," and not magical/D&D/Aquitanian/Imperial/mushroom land" and I'm like well bummer, and yet well whatever, guess I can hump through snow searching for a single arrow to defend myself against wild bears for a spell.
F3 was never really more than just an attempt to take the Fallout ideas and meld them into a different space, the fact that they set it on the opposite coast entirely for instance shows they wanted to go beyond a simple geographic move to more like a geographic chasm.
F4 seems to keep that and also add in a few other worrying trends at the same time. It's massive sale success seems to me to have more to do with the rapid mass commercialization in gaming, although also because Fallout had possibly the richest CRPG tradition of the many CRPGs. Moreover, with Fallout exhausted, I'm not sure there is really anything left of the CRPG tradition to harvest.
500... maybe we could squeeze out a few pages more if we really, REALLY, tried.
What is TW3 doing better than DAI recently? Well, at least it is better at keeping the game in the minds of people. I swear, the marketing department of CDPR is one of the most competent ones that I've come across in the gaming industry. After launch DAI has slowly been just fading into obscurity even with all the DLC it has released. No remarkable interviews, no plans for the future, no "epic" trailers to keep the game fresh in memory. No articles in the gaming media. No exposure. Hell, even now more people seem to be talking / speculating more about Cyberpunk 2077 than ME:A. Not a good sign.

I don't mind them not talking a lot about ME:A. Just announce it 1 month before release for all I care so I won't have any kind of hype over it. Like fast food- order and eat. Anyway MEA is the most anticipated of 2016. After DA2 and DAI, I don't want my MEA experience to be tainted by hype induced disappointment.

Honestly Bioware has given extremely little to talk about. When the game is fully revealed, I'm sure the media will be all over it (I know I will).
Amazing! This thread has reached 500 pages and is still one of the more civilized threads on the forum, imo--with a few exceptions.
Games, much like opinions, differ and no one game is going to be for everybody. Personally, I am just glad we have so many to chose from and the like/dislike may not be universal, but at least there seems to be something for everyone. I hope it remains so.

For myself, Cyberpunk 2077 is pre-order + all expansions purchase stuff while ME:A I will wait till most independent reviews come out. Hype or not, TW3's quality and experience really contributes a lot towards CDPR's credibility.

Eh.. what was so wrong with TW1 aside from outdated graphics and combat? I mean it is their first ever game where they did not evdn have proper designers and a game made posible by the mercy of the old Bioware bosses. Through engine and a spot in E3 because they can't afford it. Dr. Ray Myzuka told them that if it's good they get top stand in E3 beside them. And so it must be because they did.
And considering how crazy they improve each of their 3 games even almost bankrupting themselves just so they can remain to make the game they want, it's a great achievement.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that at the end of the day, CDPR has only made about 1.7 great games. And lest we forget, they did also make TW1. Gonna take more than one TW3 to wash away the taint of that little gem.
Cyberpunk is probably an easy purchase based on TW3 and barring anything really stupid, but Bioware and Beth are still the only ones I throw my money at.
They've yet to make a bad game in my book, still waiting on Blood and Wine to release, so I can replay the trilogy. Really looking forward to playing through Murky Waters again though, everything about that area is wonderful, the music, the characters and the quests. I absolutely adore it.

I hated TW1. I played it for about ten minutes and quit the first time, then gave it a shot again when I had no other games to play. I eventually warmed up to it enough to forget it's shortcomings but I keep my save because I'll probably never play it again. TW2 was a vast improvement though. I just know I'll end up playing it again in the future.

Can't be "that" bad as you made it out to be of a game from a then nameless wet behind the ears and broke developer. Only 4 points away from inquisition and a much higher user score. I personally haven't finished it because I really can't stand the combat. I am not at all bothered with graphics. But i am determined to finish it because of the story that I have experienced so far warrants it.
This guy has an unhealthy relationship with TW1

Actually, the Enhanced Edition is one point higher than DAI, if we're talking PC that is.

Using a flawed site such as metacitic really does not help a defense of said game....
The critic score is not flawed. It records exactly how the review scores goes. User score is a hit and miss though. I still don't agree with FO4 user score even if I have not played it. It is a sure over reaction of butt hurt fans.
