Dragon Age Origins vs The Witcher Enhanced Edition

Dragonage is really disappointing in that it could have been so much better!!! rare it is that a game will live up to the trailer! that being said i think the immersion and excitement i felt was as shortlived as the trailer itself. I want Darkness, i want to be truly immersed in a world that is original in its terror and awe, but intellegently done! surely we havent seen it all, surely we cant be de-sensitised by overstimulation! remember the days when a game would stir your imagination so much as a good novel? maybe we have seen too much....dunno i still wait and ill never give up! Good gaming is about obsession to the dismay of many g.friends out there, and i felt like Dragon age was boring! it seemed as though it was tring to spread itself too thin in tring to please everybody. Its very difficult to expect us to journey into a world that has been created so many times and FEEL awe!!! Im glad to hear the music in the witcher is good, its so **** important i cant stress enough!!! (actually the same composer for l o t rings) well, really i wont be hard on the witcher, i cant wait to play it. i just love a good game, it makes you feel awesome!chompslikky

I vote the Witcher even though I haven't played DA (that may never happen, because I don't like it from what I've seen :))

Still haven't gotten into the Witcher (and can't until I fix my laptop display) but I have really gotten into DA:O. I can't compare having only played an hour of the Witcher but damn I'm loving Dragon Age and for the first time in a long time I'm already planning my second and third playthrough as the other classes.

Something I haven't done in just about every RPG I've played. Which granted isn't a ton but still considerable giving how long RPGs take to complete.

One of these days I'll get back to the Witcher but by then Witcher 2 will probably be out.

There really was nothing "dark" to Dragon Age, there was a fine line between good and evil, it had a very tolkien inspired vibe to it, nothing thematic by any means. Not to say it wasn"t executed in a spectacular way, which it was.

The Witcher was just a whole new view of the fantasy setting, with no distinction betweengood and bad it really just paved the way for a whole new experience in terms of an RPG.

Their plot can in no way be compared imo. Both had awell crafted tale, butThe Witcher was just on so many diffirent levels.

With that said, the gameplay, characters, and presentation can be contrasted, and it would be safe to say Dragon Age wins in those departments.

Good points you make though, both are probably among the top 5 of RPG's this gen

I agree almost on most of your points....

But the witcher had a lot of technical problems, even in the enhanced edition... Still I'd pick up The Witcher If i had to choose one

I got bored with Dragon Age fairly quickly to be honest. It was just a bit too slow for my liking. I can normally deal with games with a slow pace fairly well, but the constant conversations (oh look guys let's just stand still for 10 minutes) and rather plodding combat made it feel like a bit of a chore. I may give it another chance soon, but I'm not sure.

arack hi, i was not aware, ionly googled comparisons on these 2 games and gamespot forum came up! so really didnt see any problem with asking a question or stating an opinion. since i am a gamespot user what the **** is wrong with that!!! why have a reply tab if u cant use it if its (against terms of use) ffschompslikky
