Mass Effect didn't really have any important choices besides allowing certain teammates to die and that final choice in the end. It may do what KotOR2 did and have a dialogue box show up saying [spoiler] "Hey, do you know if Shepard saved the council or not?" and "What allies did he lose during the war?" [/spoiler] You are able to import your character to ME2 and ME3, right?

but the paragon and renegade thing isnt even strickly evil-good like in kotor, it doesnt change your character at all.

funny, ME was hailed as one of the best storylines of all time :?

GTAIV's storyline is considered the best of all time by many reviewers. I don't necessarily agree with critics on most things.

I know it doesn't change your character, and I'm fine with that. I just wish it had an impact on the story, or at least some of the decisions did, or they affected relationships between you and certain characters, etc.Saturos3091

The Witcher > Mass Effect.

Mass Effect has some inspired moments but is mostly copy and paste outside of 14 hour story. The Witcher is fresh and feels very original.

I have never heard that before.

Good? Sure. Unfortunately its missing for 85% of the game.

Mass Effect is boring; never played WitcherCouth_

...Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines...foxhound_fox

That game would have been the best game ever if it didn't have the last third of gameplay. And that boss battle... that was a joke. They made the game so you could avoid most combat for the first 2 thirds of the game, then all of a sudden all you were doing was fighting. Completely ruined the game.

EDIT: And the game was almost impossible to finish unless you put every single stat point into firearms, which meant you had to go through the game with a semi-retarded character and miss all the brilliant dialogue and such.

then on my second playthrough, i played a female and played the game a little more passively. What i found was that i avoided a lot of fights than in my first play, and also chose much different conversatins options etc.

i know it doesnt particularly affect the way you intereact with other caharcters but w/e.

ok, now this for me is a really hard one. I love the witcher, i love Mass effect. They are both great in different ways.

Mass effect has a better story imo, i loved it. The witcher has better gameplay imo, i like the combat more, its more rpg like. The witcher is far deeper and involving but at times becomes boring, Mass Effect seems to keep me hooked.

The witcher is a monster of a game, Mass effect can be completed in no time at all.

Personally i love them both, for different reasons. Once the enhanced version of The Witcher is out i may feel differently.

Its like this for me

The Witcher = Mass Effect PC >>>>>> Mass effect 360.

I never actually played KotoR or the sequel, I probably should though. I wouldn't mind if the decisions affected more than just your character though (it can go both ways, sometimes there's good examples of influence, and other times it just doesn't work, like Fable in my opinion).Saturos3091

well i mean on my first playtrough, i played a lot of the game with a male character and was all badass, like i'd go with lots of decisions that got me into lots of trouble and had to fight my way out.

then on my second playthrough, i played a female and played the game a little more passively. What i found was that i avoided a lot of fights than in my first play, and also chose much different conversatins options etc.

Mass Effect isnt even much of an RPG.

Its a shooter with RPG bits mashed in.

I've started Mass Effect and I like it a lot so far.

But The Witcher... :cry: I just want to play it so badly! Its my most wanted title to play on the PC and it sucks that I don't have one to play it. :( That and Stalker are the two titles I really want to play.

I've already decided that if I get a job and don't plan on getting a new car soon that if Project Offset does not go to 360 or PS3 and stays PC exclusive, I will have a friend build a PC for me. Three major titles that I'm interested in plus the gazillion other titles that I would probably really enjoy (Oblivion with mods...:oops: ) and I think it would be a good decision.

yup. Oblivion with mods is amazing. Once the enhanced edition of The witcher is out it could well become the best RPG of recent times. Stalker is not for everyone, i loved it, amazing atmosphere. How i love the PC.
