Dragon Age 2 shorter than Dragon Age - "a bit longer than Mass Effect 2"

Who said what about The Witcher?

I'm not gonna go and quote every single post I agree or disagree with so I'll summarize:

The Witcher is the best RPG (and game) ever made. Enough said.
Some people see the sex as juvenile, I don't, Geralt is a ladies man, they all want a piece of his action. Hell, I'm straight and I'd throw myself at him for free given the opportunity.

Lycanthrope: I am going to give you as much rep as I possibly can for all the good things you have said about The Witcher. It is clear that you have excellent taste when it comes to quality games. Also, make a plan to play Demon's Souls. Even though there is almost no story, the gameplay more than makes up for it and the dark fantasy setting is near perfect.

Duke: Get your hands on a copy of the Enhanced Edition or Platinum Edition of The Witcher and play it. Every RPG junkie should have finished The Witcher at least once, but the more times you finish it the better. IMO it still has the best story and moral system, where your decisions have actual game-changing consequences, in any game to date and only The Witcher 2 has any chance of beating it.

Omega: Demon's Souls is good. It's actually better than good, it's fucking brilliant and my no. 2 game of all time. Unfortunately it can't touch The Witcher, nothing can.

I think Elder scroll V will the next 120 + hour epic. BioWare will deliver another top notch story with DA2.

I think what is key to BioWare is story, yes some other titles may have been longer but DA, ME 1 & 2 all had epic stories.

Oblivion and the like, maybe even the witcher, was more of a "create your own adventure" game. I personally could never get into the Witcher.

Definitly not witcher. Witcher was totally based of the epic book series. If you read the books you would have understood the characters and the way the story played of better. Yeah it was a new epic story in that universe but some parts came directly out of the book and were just rehashed, like the princes again falling under the curse.

Yep, But posting boobs in tk is suppose to be juvinile and silly since there is no context. The Witcher's foray into spreading his seed with everything that has 2 legs and a vagina, inside the context of the game brought the entire experience down. The game tries to tell a serious story but breaks off every now and again, gives the player a post card with tits on it like its trying to keep u interested.

That's the way the character is in the books. Being a sterile super mutant gives him that freedom. Changing him just not to offend the sensitive types would have pissed of the entire witcher fanbase(aka those guaranteed sales)...


As for the lenght of da2, I would prefer a longer game but then these prescribed lenghts are always just an estimate so we will see once we actually get the game. It depends on the playing style and individual gaming style how long it is. But it will already be massively shorter then dao due to the very limited play throughts. Basicly 2 vs 14 possible different combinations of sex/origin/race. Won't get close to my 500+ hours I have in dao.

I played the Witcher but IMO it was far from the BEST RPG ever. It was good, but not even good enough for me to play through it a second time. My personal best RPG would be Baldurs Gate II without a doubt, with DAO following in second.

Guess you never played Planescape: Torment?

To each his own.

Planescape is great but I still find bg2 the better game but its very very tight.

I enjoyed BG2, but it was very much a typical fantasy RPG. Planescape was just so much more daring, bold and different. It had such memorable characters, a classless and basically immortal character. I loved it, all of it.

I did, but haven't finished it.
