Dragon Age: Inquisition vs The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Next year is going to be the year of the WRPG as the third installments in what have flat out becomes the key combatants to the WRPG throne- The Witcher series and the Dragon Age series- both debut their third installments. Both games are generating some great hype, with Dragon Age: Inquisition looking like a return to form for the series after the disappointing Dragon Age II, and The Witcher 3 looking to build on the incredible strengths of The Witcher 2.

Of the two games though, which looks better right now? Which do you think will end up being better? Which will be received better, and which one do you think will you like more?

not even in the same league

I don't like the Witcher too much. On the other hand I do like Dragon Age Origins (haven't played 2). So I'll go with that (I know I'm in the minority).

Only if you are a closet mmo fan. And enjoy repetitive ecnoutners where you can pull of the same strategy in every fight and still win.

I'm looking forward to both, and I want to see more gameplay from both.

I just want the game that the first five or so hours that Dragon Age Origins was shaping up to be. That was incredibleBlabadon

First 3 hours if you ask me.

DAO was shaping up to be a good game for the first 3 hours or so until it became the embodiment of what I hate about BioWare games and fantasy stories.

DA:I, day one. Witcher 3, bargain bin buy/Steam sale equivalent.

And that's that.

, Dragon Age did atmosphere better.charizard1605

Witcher 3 I guess. Don't have a whole lot of interest in either series.

X and the RPG in my sig is the one to keep an eye out for. ;)

I loved Dragon Age Origins waaaaaaaaay more than I did Witcher 2 but Im a lot more excited for Witcher 3 since they're trying to make it more like Skyrim. mems_1224

I think they're both going to be great, and in different ways. 

I'm probably going to like Dragon Age:Inquisition a lot more for the game mechanics (love tactical party based combat) and the character development, but Witcher 3 will definitely take the cake in terms of immersion, graphics and narrative.

Slightly off-topic but was that Witcher 3 gameplay trailer at E3 console footage or something, because it looked more like TW2 than a next-gen game princeofshapeir

I liked Origins a lot more than the first Witcher

but I'm not a fanboy, Witcher 3 will destroy Inquisition

Origins for me is better than The Witcher, but W3 vs DA:I is no contest in favor of W3.

Traditional Fallouts, infinity engine games and KOTOR 2 among others, have spoiled me far too much with the importance of a morality system, so personally if Bioware continues this trend of "Good vs Evil period" The W3 may win solely on that,

Actions and consequences are crucial to me in an RPG.

Inquisition is just damage control from DA2

I don't think it's going to be that great (I hope it is though)

Yeah it was.

I loved The Witcher 1, but the presentation and gameplay elements were far more complete in Origins. The Witcher 1 does not hold up at all and the combat was pretty broken at times.

We haven't seen anything meaningful from Inquisition yet.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Yeah, regardless of the question of Origins vs The Witcher, Wild Hunt looks soooo much better than Inquisition.charizard1605

I go crazy waiting for the Gamescom gameplay reveal!

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Right? Origins was such an incredible game. Admittedly II sucked, and Inquisition looks like it *will* be outdone by Witcher 3, but that doesn't change that Origins was a great game.charizard1605
