Should I buy Witcher 2 or Skyrim

id go with Witcher 2 but being new to rpgs, you might enjoy Skyrim more?

good god the witcher 2, skyrim is so boring, the combat is dull, the story doesnt draw me in, theres no really likable characters as their all about as deep as a puddle , there are so many glitches its insane, . luckily i got it for 25 bux on black friday.

These are just my OPINIONS however, just thought id give my view since everyone i knew hyped up skyrim over dragons dogma which i highly regret my purchase

Well it depends on what you're looking for, the two are VERY different RPG's.

Skyrim is a massive open-world RPG that fully explore and play any kind of character you want, any kind of way you want. You can kill who you want to kill, go where you want to go etc....you play the game however you want. It has a wide variety of side missions as well and it has far more content than Witcher 2.

Witcher 2 is chapter based and is more story focused, it also has higher production values than Skyrim with it's better graphics and tech. But it won't last you as long and it's a pretty linear game, but a good one.

So it really comes down to what style you like more. Personally I prefer Skyrim, but Witcher 2 is definitely very good as well. It's really the only 360 game I'm jealous of (my 360 barely works anymore). :P

Both are great games and you can't go wrong with either. If you can't afford to get many games, but you play alot, then easily skyrim. Otherwise choose which looks like it suits you more

Both dude, you should buy them both. Trust me on this one! Go rob a bank o bank or something .. I don't care but you have to get them both!

Didn't like Witcher 2 much at all. Good story but interface is confusing and RPG elements are lacking.MaddenBowler10

loved both games but im going to give the edge to skyrim the worlds better and the combat is better the only thing witcher 2 is got over it is the story which is fantastic

Are we talking about the 360?? Really?

Skyrim by a longshot. I don't know, I played Witcher 2 for a good 5 or 6 hours and finally realized I just wasn't into it.

Both of these games are about the same price, and I'm fairly new to RPGs. Just wondering which one is a better game?slugger909

I'd go with both, but if you have to pick just one I'd go with Skyrim especially since your new to RPGs. The Witcher has more of a learning learning curve. The whole parry system, having two different types of swords, with each type working better on different kinds of enemies. Also the whole potion brewing, and resting system are more complex, and more important in TW2.

Maybe you can download both demos and check them out. See which one is a better fit for you.

but if you ccan get skyrim for PC get the PC version instead. The mods make it waaaaay better on PC.

They are two different types of RPG, if you want a really solid storyline and focus on that main story, better graphics and less bugging, you should go with Witcher 2, but if you want a massive world open game, where there are lots of stuff to do, and a game that you start to think it's never going to be totally completed, then you should buy Skyrim.

I prefer Skyrim :D

I've never played any of the Witchers, but I loved Skyrim

Skyrim

both if you can but skyrim first

I played Skyrim for about 130 hours, and loved it. I've not played The Witcher 2, although it's on my LONG list of games I must buy.

Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons for a moment, have you considered Fallout 3? I played that for even longer than I played Skyrim... and if you're new to RPG's it might be a nice way to bring in the RPG elements but keep more familiar mechanics (like shooting!) in place. Just a thought...

Witcher 2 IMO has one of the best combat systems out there especially for a RPG. The battles are hard but very rewarding and it's fun to try them again. Skyrim is awesome as well but the game puts me to sleep after a while. Both are great but IMO I'd only get Skyrim if you have tons of time to put into the story reading and such. There are tons of books laying around with lots of back story. I think if you like that then you'll get more out of skyrim. 

My suggestion is to buy witcher 2 beat it and then sell it and get skyrim and you'll be set for many months.
