Seriously, Skyrim has `this` much popularity? Sequel to a series of games that have only been good once they've been modded up the wazoo? I'm apalled.

It's the Witcher 2 for me, followed by Dragon Age 2. I'll get Skyrim, but I could live without it.

If I had to choose, Skyrim. Unless they suddenly announce "NO CUSTOM SPELLS!"

But the release dates are so far apart, I'll have plenty of time to enjoy both.
They might. I hadn't thought about it but with the way the spell system works, it's a possibility. Although I don't think the game will be any worse if they are gone. They tended to be needlessly complicated and often resulted in magic been underpowered for anyone who didn't know how to exploit the spell creation system.

That being said, if I had to choose one and only one, it would be Skyrim. Highest chance of being the best value per dollar. Elder Scrolls are notorious for oodles and oodles of gameplay and options.

But I don't have to choose just one... and I will still just pick Skyrim.

I was really excited for Witcher 2, after hearing how good the first one was. Then I tried the first one when it went on sale on Steam. Yeah, it's not very good. Graphically, the game is great. However there are a lot of odd choices in design that made it bad. Mainly in the menu and inventory systems, and again in the sluggish combat. I found Divinity II to be a better game, despite its lack of polish.

Dragon Age II lost my support when they decided to wait almost a year before fixing a memory leak with multicore AMD processors in Dragon Age I, making it unplayable. Thus, I have not bothered to go back and get the patch and play through it again because while I had time set aside to play it when it was released, I no longer have that time. It's a shame though, because from what I played it sounded good. It's a shame they removed all the customization from Dragon Age II.

I play Morrowind and Oblivion without mods and love it. :)

Lol, what?

Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall and Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind are both well reviewed. Arena is simply dated, and not worth playing anymore, and Oblivion lost points in review because of what it tried to do to expand its audience. I truly hope Skyrim goes back to its roots and screws the compass and fast travel and lets us appreciate exploration.

Both Witcher and Dragon Age only have one other game behind them, so to say Elder Scrolls has only been successful once is a non-issue, regardless. That being said, neither Witcher nor Dragon Age have been all that good ever, in my opinion.

I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy any of the elder scrolls games without having all your topless anime girls and lightsabers mods, but some people actually found them pretty fun right out of the box.

Damn you! Damn You! For making me choose between Skyrim and the Witcher 2!

I went Skyrim in the hopes that it will be more like Morrowind and actually have a PC ui on release.

Dragon Age 2 can go suck donkey balls as far as I'm concerned, I'm a big bioware fan but they are destroying their last remotely old schoolish franchise.

Dragon Age 2. I preffer my games with some actual story and characters. Also, I find Oblivion to be crap. Granted, what I've seem of Skyrim so far does look promising, so I'll likely be getting it at some point, but Dragon Age 2 is a sure thing.
yeah im with you on the likeing story but let me add I DONT LIKE GETTING LOST! so yeah dragon age 2 go go:)

What will be the best, I have no idea, I'll have to play them all to tell.
What one am I looking forward to the most, Dragon Age 2, definitely.

OK,I realize that I'm nitpicking, but when you make you make a non-advice question thread, you should really answer your own question in the OP.

Also, Skyrim, absolutely no contest. It's going to be like some kind of 30-hour long orgasm.

I'm going to recommend Dragon Age 2.

I mean, they're obviously two completely different takes on the genre so it really only comes down to whether you prefer 3rd person plot and character-heavy RPGs or first-person free-roaming action games with RPG elements. But personally, I'd choose DA2.
My thoughts exactly. It came down to plot vs. gameplay for me, where I think the plot of DA2 will be better but Skyrim will take advantage of gameplay, and I chose plot.

After Bethesda blew me away with Morrowind, they proceded to make Oblivion and Fallout 3, two of my most hated games ever. So, Dragon age 2. I loved Origins even more tan ME1+2 and Bioware haven't failed me yet.
As for Witcher, I'm currently playing the first one and strangly, it's kind of boring. It's the type of RPG i love, but there is something missing....

The Witcher 2, definitely. Never gotten into Daggerfal, Morrowind or Oblivion, so I'm not even considering buying Skyrim. DA:O was a giant disappointment for me. Planned changes for DA2 are looking very good, and I will probably buy, but not instantly. The Witcher 2 on the other hand is a sequel to a game I really liked, so I'll buy it on the release day for sure.
