Bravo, potatoes.
At least Witcher 3 is joining ME3's big leagues now.
Try harder.

Bioware has had the monopoly on party-based RPG's since forever, which in the eyes of the public affords them quite a bit of leeway on the quality of the individual components of their games. They can get by being mediocre because they're the only ones makes this type of game (presumably).Yeah, the great tragedy of Bioware is they can't even accomplish the low goals they set for themselves. They make games that are terrible dating sims, mediocre action games, and terrible RPGs. Core competency is... marketing, I guess?
One boiling potato right here.Bravo, potatoes.

Denial is the first stage of grief.And people still got buttpained about rbg endings?

But that E3 doc wasn't what they showed at E3? It's not even close.
shit like DayZ
And Witcher fanboys keep thinking CDP treats them like mature and sophisticated audience...
CDP are as much representatives of the decline of the genre as are Bioware, any CDP fanboy who thinks different is delusional.

*cough* better writing *cough*
Um, just no. Compared to Bio's teenage fantasy romance scenes, TW2 elven fountain scene actually looks like something written and directed by a person that's actually touched a woman before. Yes, it's rather out of the blue, but holy shit, should they start reciting poetry or telling about their emotional scars there? The scene itself, as abrupt as it may be, is certainly nowhere even in the same time zone as BioWare tripe. TW2 has problems, but the fountain scene is certainly not on the list - if anything, it's how abruptly it transitions to and from that particular bit.And Witcher fanboys keep thinking CDP treats them like mature and sophisticated audience...

Witcher has better writing? Replaying The Witcher 2 recently from Roches story, and the writing has been abysmal, and often childish. Just this afternoon i was playing through the scene between Geralt and Triss at the elven fountain and was thinking to myself... these CDP guys need to get laid.
As bad as Bioware's writing is, it's semi coherent, Witcher doesnt even achieve that.
Pls to name good Bio romances.ITT we pretend that all romances Bioware have ever done were those bisexual abominations from DA2
I'm currently playing Witcher 1, and actually the combat is one of the better ones as far as action RPGs go.Witcher 2 is technically decline from The Witcher, but honestly the first game had such shit combat and bad (English) writing it's hard to be that upset about it.
Witcher 3 being open world is enticing, if they can pull it off.

Wish i had the time or inclination to go about taking screens of all the awkward dialog or scene moments in the Witcher 2. The pacing, transitions, writing quality and characters are all a bit off and not quite right.
Maybe it's the english translation, but through the game it is all very "action, boobs, blood, fuck yeah Geralt the invincible manwhore".
It all goes down to the character of Geralt himself, i highly doubt he is portrayed as such in the books (if so then i dont get why they get much praise), a character that went through so much only to act like a horny teenager with self control problems every chance he gets, its all very jarring.
How does the author of the books feel about all of this is beyond me.
Edgy.If the witcher (1) has "action rpg" combat then Guitar Hero is also an action RPG.
Was okay, but there's a ton of melodrama in it. I have my teenage year bias towards being more positive about her character, anyway.Viconia
No, not really, though they tried.Morrigan
Was okay, true. She was almost two-dimensional.Ashley in ME1
NoEven fucking Alistair if you are into making a proper hero out of whiny virgin.
And also no, even though there's a little bit of character development, which happens mostly offscreen.Also Bastila in Kotor if you go dark side path and she becomes your "apprentice"
5x0 = 0. Witcher 1 had no romances. Triss and Shauni subplots hardly count, you have what, a handful of interactions with each, and both are mostly friend/professional.Its about 5 times better than "romances" in Witcher 1
