Input needed -Witcher 3 or Dragon Age?
I'd like to give one of these a try but haven't played any of the earlier titles so I don't know much about them. I have played and really liked Fallout and Oblivion games because there was enough action to keep me interested (just developing characters and playing puppet master isn't my kind of game). I also like the dungeon crawling atmosphere and elements over just roaming through towns talking to NPCs. So, any thoughts on whether the next Witcher or Dragon Age would be a better pick?
Im picking Dragon Age, althought I want to play both im broke. I loved both Dragon Age games, I know everyone didnt really care for the second but I loved it. Dragon Age is going to be a 200 hour at least game, this means 200 Hours of gameplay.
I am really not sure about the Witcher, I didnt really care for the Witcher 2 at all. I played it for maybe 10 hours and was really bored. I just dont like the fact I have to use this guy instead of creating your own character and such. That being said, The Witcher 3 looks amazing but I still have to stick with Dragon Age.
Don't bother with either game until you've played the earlier titles in the series. Both games have a pretty rich world and history so it would serve you well to enjoy them both from the beginning.
I'm going WItcher 3, it looks freak'in amazing and seems like a lot of next gen effort being put into it.
Why not both? Dragon Age comes out in November then Witcher is in Late Feb.
I'm in the same boat as in I have not played either one. But I did play Mass Effect and loved it, the story and gameplay really hooked me. I'm told that Dragon Age is similar just substitute swords for guns. I shared my concern with some gaming buddies that have played all the DA games and read the books but I have done none of that and would be fresh to the universe. They said it should not be a problem to just get Inquisition and enjoy it. If your a reader, there are a couple of books that take place before Inquisition and would set up the game for you. That's my plan anyway.
I played a bit of the Witcher2 and it did not grab me. Part of that was due to the fact that I got it after my XBone and that is all I have been playing so I got caught up in the slow controller and dated graphics. The Witcher 3 looks amazing and it is on my list.
I'm gonna do the same with the Witcher that I'll do with DA, read the books, then youtube Witcher 2 story and play Witcher 3.
If you can only get one game for some reason, get Dragon Age since it also has Co-op multiplayer which should be fantastic based on what Bioware did with Mass Effect 3.
