Remember that Skadi believes that going to brothel and buying sex is the same as romance.
There's also a 0% chance that Skadi is serious about any of this and not simply trolling DA fans. Few people are that obtuse (although granted the ones that are are probably here on the BSN). S/he's having too much fun with it.
Call it what you want, I call it "creepy"
I only played The Witcher 2. And only for a few hours. When I first started playing it, I thought, "Damn--this game is pretty cool." But a few hours in, I kinda decided I didn't love playing Gerault and I hated the combat--found it so unintuitive for some reason. I prefer Dragon Age's tactical combat. That's subjective, of course, just like almost every point made in this thread by anybody.
I'll let you know when I actually get around to playing a Witcher game.
I think I've solved it... TW fans are so insecure in the game's actual spot among great RPGs, they have a constant urge to try and raise it above all other RPGs then proceed to mock those games and their fans while posting their opinions as facts.
Don't know how many times I've seen it now... and to top it off, dare confront them with a laundry list of count points and they start getting even more hostile and insulting. Here's a hint: you can prefer TW3 or like the content better, but that does not make it objectively better than a DA:I. Okay? We got that yet? Good.

Wow, hostile and insulting. Your post meets 2 out of the 2 criteria. It would be interesting to read through these types of threads and tally just how many hostile and insulting posts there are and which side they fall on.
All it would take is a little rearranging and your post could reflect how a lot of DAI fans act. The fact is, both sides have some boorish, mean and insecure fans and both sides have reasonable people who see both sides of the coin and can coincide pretty well together. Maybe not in this thread, but it can definitely be achieved.
I can't put my finger on it, but there's just something I like about you! 
(I agree that there's crazy fanatics as well as reasonable and rational people in both corners)

Guess we can add hypocritical to that list i regrds to Dragon Age fans as well.
To be honest I don't think Witcher fans are trying to be cruel when they point out just how badly the Dragon Age series fails in comparison, when they point out what the Witcher does better it is not about saying "haha our game is better than yours" but rather pointing out that video games and RPGs can be held to a higher standard, that it is possible to achieve greatness in the RPG genre, it is not about proving which series has the bigger dick but rather urging Bioware to lift their game by showing them just how far they have fallen behind. Unfortunately this has only resulted in exposing the insecurities of the Dragon Age fanbase and has caused bitter resentment with many refusing to even try the Witcher games due to not wanting to acknowledge the failings of the series and developer they have worshiped all these years.
In all honesty I created this thread with good intentions, I had hoped to mend the rift between the fanbase by finding the things the Dragon Age series manages to do well in order bring some equality to comparisons and allow the Dragon Age fanbase to feel some sort of justification, however despite my best efforts the thread only managed to serve as a further reminder of how low Bioware and the Dragon Age team have fallen and for that I apologize.
I don't know. You seem pretty antagonizing and I am a hugeWitcher fan and I don't even believe this thread was made to build bridges. Saying that you wish for them to see fault with the developer they have "worshipped" for years won't fool anyone into thinking you want to mend rifts, but cause them.Guess we can add hypocritical to that list i regrds to Dragon Age fans as well.

I think TW3 is nearly perfect, but that isn't universal and these fans believe DAI is nearly perfect to them, it isn't universal. If you really want Bioware to seek the changes you want, point out the faults and weaknesses and make suggestions on how to improve what you think needs it. Insulting the fans will get you nothig but ire. Something tells me you already know that, though.
I am disappointed you feel that way, it is not that I want them to see the flaws in their favorite developer and series, all I want is for the video game and RPG platform to be the best that it can be, to realize it's potential as a powerful artform in it's own right and the only way to do that is to look at the games that came before and analyse their strengths and weaknesses and figure out how things can be done better in the future.
As I said before this thread was not meant for pointing out the flaws of the series and what the Witcher does better but in actuality finding the opposite, the strengths of the series and what it does better than the Witcher series, unfortunately it seems I have failed in this endeavor despite my noble intentions.

If you well and truly believe people will bow down and accept your opinions while you simultaneously belittle and insult them, you need a pretty serious reality check.
Nothing indicates you had noble intentions. You tried to start a fight and people have showed how extremely flawed the very premise of this thread was, to which you responded by going ''well your opinion is worthless because reasons'' and then started to make sweeping generalizations about how ''the dragon age fans'' are.
So please, save us the self-righteous speech. You were by far the least reasonable person in this thread even in the eyes of fellow Witcher fans.

Informing people on the illogical and ill informed nature of their arguments is not the same as belittling and insulting them, I can't help if instead of recognizing the opportunity for self improvement they choose to get angry about it, you may dislike a lot of what I have to say Giantdeathrobot but there is no use getting angry about the facts, I am not your enemy, I am here to help you!

Hypocrisy is strong on this one.

Fun word when used in the right context but unfortunately I am not sure you truly understand what it means. Did you just hear the word and were so eager to try it out that you could not wait for the right opportunity to use it?

You are here belittling DA fans and Bioware and starting a flame war on both sides rather than to find improvement to DA franchise.

Is that what you think I am doing? Regardless even if you believe that being a big nasty poo head isn't the definition of a hypocrite, I am afraid you are getting the words "hypocrite" and "*******" mixed up.

You said you have noble intentions in making this thread but it's totally the opposite of what you said. That's hypocrisy.

Not entirely but you are a little closer to the mark this time, I did have noble intentions but intent does not always dictate the result, especially when others misinterpret your meaning and goal.

SO will bash DA fan and Bioware instead since they "misinterpret" you.

I already told you I am not bashing anyone, I am trying to educate, kind of like what I am doing with you now in the hopes you will better understand the meaning of hypocrite in the future.
What if your goal is to have a realisitic relationship between people?Well if your goal is to get to the sex scene at the end it does streamline the process, and at least the prostitute is a willing participant in the act.

In that case, you're probably better off skipping any and all Bioware games and the witcher.
If falling behind entails retaining roleplaying freedom and eschewing action combat, then I want to fall behind.To be honest I don't think Witcher fans are trying to be cruel when they point out just how badly the Dragon Age series fails in comparison, when they point out what the Witcher does better it is not about saying "haha our game is better than yours" but rather pointing out that video games and RPGs can be held to a higher standard, that it is possible to achieve greatness in the RPG genre, it is not about proving which series has the bigger dick but rather urging Bioware to lift their game by showing them just how far they have fallen behind.
My point is that the Aveline romance was being judged on completely irrelevant criteria.In that case, you're probably better off skipping any and all Bioware games and the witcher.
