Which title do you prefer over the other?

Personally, I give a slight edge to The Witcher 2, but I'm sure Dragon Age II will be a great game in its own right as well. It seem that CD Projeckt is really ramping up its game, though, and hopefully, the game will much more fun to play than the original was.

Witcher 2 looks like an advancement in Graphics for RPG's, and an improvement in both storytelling and gameplay from the original.

Dragon Age 2 looks like nothing of the above. I'm sure it will still be a fun game though, but Witcher by a mile, IMHO.

I think Dragon Age 2 looks garbage, so I'm voting for The Witcher 2.

The Witcher 2 is easily my most anticipated game of this year, so I wouldn't think twice about voting for that. Unlike DA2 (or many other RPGs coming out this year, as far as I can tell), it looks like The Witcher 2 will raise the bar for the genre and push new boundaries in roleplaying choices and storytelling. Not only that, but the production values look top-notch this time around...and hey, what can be better than a much-improved sequel to arguably the best RPG of the generation?

I hate it that they approached it as console game, not as a PC game. Otherwise you're right.

I would also note that Skyrim and ME3 are far more anticipated than DA II.

From what I've seen of both games so far, TW2 is miles better than DA2.

ME is hardly an RPG.

It's a great game, but it's more of a shooter.

What about Skyrim, Dark Souls (hopefully it makes it) and Mass Effect 3? Those are easily my picks, with Skyrim leading the pack.

I do not anticipate any of them, but out of them, I probably get DA2, so out of those DA2, but I'm more hyped for games like Disgaea 4, Neptunia and Ar Tonelico Qoga

I am more interested in Skyrim right now. I have yet to play Witcher, so I cannot comment. I also have yet to play Mass Effect, but I imagine that would be better than Dragon age and maybe Witcher (dk about that one). So Dragon age is easily at the bottom of my list.

I'm a bit more pragmatic about this issue - I like both games.:D

I own Witcher EE and DA:O, and I have Witcher 2 and DA 2 on pre-order.

No need for me to choose, I enjoy both equally.

DA2 looks disappointing - it seems to have taken big steps towards being a casual hack-n-slash, Witcher 2's steps have been in the right direction.

from those 2, I am more excited for Dragon Age. I have Witcher already bought from Steam and DA2 pre-ordered for 360. I know the Witcher will have better RPG elements, however, I have never played the first and I am a huge Bioware fan (Edmonton up in dis) and the original Dragon Age is one of my favourite games this gen.

The Witcher 2 looks way more promising. I'm basing this all entirely on my enjoyment of the original Witcher and dislike of DragonAge: Origins :]

All the changes to The Witcher seem to be positive. All the changes to Dragon Age seem negative. Still I can't help but be more excited for DA2, the first one was my favourite game this gen. But I won't be surprised if I end up liking TW2 more.

Well, considering people blindly hate Dragon Age 2 here for little to no reasons; it's gonna be The Witcher 2. Personally? I'd say The Witcher 2, but that's because The Witcher is incredible. Throw in Mass Effect though and I'd go with that. That's a whole different can of worms though.

Well first off I would say the most anticipated rpg's this year oare The Elder Scrolls V and Mass Effect 3 but between those two I prefer Dragon Age 2 for the sole reason that it is on consoles. I've never played the original Witcher and don't plan on playing the second one but if they ever came to consoles, I would snatch them up in a second/

More like Guild Wars 2 and Mass Effect 3. I honestly couldn't care less about Dragon Age 2 at this point, and I am very wary of Witcher 2 since I hated the first.

Dragon Age 1 was not as good as The Witcher 1.
