Oh DW assassin is excellent. I played Assassin archer and it works but it's not as fun (thought it does feel more archery (if that makes any sense
). I refuse to play Tempest though. Nope.
(Also I hate how you can't get a preview of the specs other than using companions. It's bleh.)
I won't play Tempest because I like Sera. I'm not a big fan of the game, but I'd use her from time to time. And it sounds best if I didn't overlap.

XD Well I don't play it for the opposite but alls the same eh
But yeah I stacked assassins with Cole and my PC. Wasn't the best idea. (That said death mark back to back could be lulzy as heck).
A pretty good/long video about crazy details in TW3.
There's 4 unique archer abilities (excluding passives (which work for DWR and vice versa) and upgrades. Also filling your slot with just archer attacks is a good way to have a crappy archer. Honestly you have plenty of options it's just not archer exclusive options. (For one I had my assassin go mostly into the poisoner tree. Meanwhile my artificer goes with the enhancing traps (and the upgrade to caltrops was beaut!).) It's not a lack of choice at all. As for the animations working better with DWR that's a difference in opinion. I enjoyed the control and range of my archer far more than my DWR.
Also if you wanted to constantly use the bow attacks artificer is what you wanted. Leaping shot + Opportunity knocks = spam.
Naturally a helping of other skills besides your main focus is ideal for any character, not simply for the archer. The thing is, that you can put almost every archer specific ability into your slots and still have room for another skill or two. So there is still a lack of options for someone like me who can really get into archery when there is a lot of options. I really enjoy archery when it is done well. Even if it is simple such as Diablo 2's Amazon was. One of the reasons I am really looking forward to Horizon: Zero Dawn.
The only time I've really loved archery was Thief... TES kind of gives the same "stalking" vibe at times, but it's not focused on that.
I love Archery in videogames, so much that if a game has a bow i will play that game. I do hope Rise of the Tomb Raider has the bow as a weapon still? Picking it up on Steam when it releases.
I also enjoy Fallout 4 more then The Witcher 3, hell i even enjoy DA:I alot more, but i think overall that TW3 is a better game in most respects. The thing is though that it comes down to your personal taste in the end anyway. Which renders most arguments we have here moot, but discussion, discussion never changes.

I like TR's archery.. I just love it when it's first person, and stealth based. It feels a little more like real archery. Funnily, most games don't really do that.

Yep.
A stably and sublimely modded Skyrim is still might be my favorite of all time. Fallout - I'm really loving, but I don't think it's gonna realize its full potential until we get the CE and modders have busted stuff up for a little while. Gamechanging stuff is still being released for NV.
TW3 has probably eclipsed DAI for favorite game of the past couple of years (if only just), largely because there are certain things about the gameplay that just scratch a certain specific itch I have so very well, but that might change if I start a new DAI run. And it might change again if B&W brings the thunder. I'm easily distracted
I'm just very impressed that I can stumble upon 2 never before seen quests in Velen and Novigrad after 150+ hours played.

TR 1st person!? Nuuuuuuuuuu~~~~~~ I cant take my eyes of her
For other games, 1st person is okay, not TR

Oh yeah, I agree. It's still a platformer to me. 1st person would be weak.
I just mean I like 1st person archery.

Platformer... the last TR was not really much of a platformer. Silly QTE and steamline platforming that anyone can do half asleep. 
Wish the new TR:Rise of TR will have more challenging platforming and exploration like the originals.

It has some challenges. There's even an extra mode with tougher challenges.. but it's DLC. Bleh. Perhaps for those of you who wait on PC/PS4 might get it automatically though. Who knows.

As much as I enjoyed TR2013 in its entirety, I'd like the actual raiding of tombs to be less of a side-activity. I'm hoping that's the case in the new one.
In other news, I only learned last night that the "Definitive Edition" was exclusive to PS4 and Xbone. I fully intended to buy it and play it again in anticipation for RotTR. I guess not.
What the hell, though.
Updated a naf post to a more current one. It is a percentage to the number of votes which was interesting.
Currently Witcher 3 has won 59% (rounded up from 59.13%)of all the goty awards counted.
In 2014, Dragon age won 33 % of all the goty awards counted.
In 2013, The last of us won 48 % of all the goty awards counted.
In 2012, The walking dead won 19 % of all the goty awards counted.
In 2011, Skyrim won 56 % of all the goty awards counted. (Lol poor Witcher 2 has just 3 votes)
Number of votes seem to go up and down drastically each year.

QFT. TR2013 is really missing the tomb raiding, exploration and platforming of the original TR games.
One of the most enjoyable aspect of the original TR is figuring out how to get somewhere and it usually involves figuring out where to jump/climb to and from there where is the next step. Those jumps are usually risky (you have to time to hit jump - no automatic edge detection, perform back flips, etc) and if you fail you pay. Even if you succeed in a series of risky moves, you might find that you are actually at the wrong place and umm... getting down is sometimes riskier.
No like all them QTE, dodging tree on glider, being washed down river challenges Hope they remove all those.
Yep.

That is my biggest gripe with Bethesda games, I really don't like waiting 2+ years for the game to reach its potential, which means downloading a ton of mods and praying that the game works.

I played Skyrim first on a console. lol. Vanilla isn't that bad. Their games are more or less the same to me, across all titles, and with or without mods.
Disagree, at least based on Skyrim. I played 700+ hrs of Vanilla, and only used a single mod (ie; No More Blocky Faces), and was content.
Then I started to watch Gophervids, and became emboldened to try a Mod Manager and add even more mods to tailor the experience. It certainly can enhance the experience, but the original is what I sought to preserve as a rule; not change.
Different opinions then. However, I doubt I am alone in this thought process, since Bethesda's unofficial motto seems to be "Mods will fix" and with mods coming to consoles now, this rings truer than ever.
I could never play Skyrim without a complete texture overhaul, ENB, lighting/weather overhaul, swords and bows remodeled, immersive armours and weapons, werewolf/vampire overhaul, audio overhaul, new weapons and armours and the mod that brings them all together, Skyre. Sames goes for FO3 and F:NV, with their respective FWE and PN mods.
I'm actually thinking of reinstalling Skyrim now, seems like T3ndo has given up modding for now, which sucks. Hopefully an equally talented modder or team can overhaul FO4, just as they did once for FO3, with FWE.

Considering one of the specializations allows you to use said archer abilities over and over with little to no deviation due to cooldown resets I don't see the problem. And I found DAI's archery done just fine so *shrug*

Yep I know I'll still be playing DAI and F4 years from now and enjoying them even more and that to me is a sign for a game's value to me.
The only mod that was ever a necessity for me in Skyrim was changing those good awful skin textures and hairstyles. Everything else was gravy.
I played Skyrim on consoles too and felt the game was fine, I don't think I ever ran into any big bugs or glitches. Some of the mods created though for the game do look interesting.
