Out of those three, I look most forward to Skyrim. It looks like the one that I'll have the most fun with.

Diablo 3 not on the poll? Out of the 3 skyrim will probably win. Because gameplay wise dragon age is way behind. Slowloading and moving travelmap with random encounter how i despise you. But i would say Divinity 2 and Risen beats all the prequels of those games, witcher only one being close to them.
For me, definitely Skyrim. Then again, I man!squee'd when I first saw that it was coming out this year, so...
The Witcher 2 and Skyrim are about equal for me, although I expect Skyrim to be more exciting and enchanting and The Witcher 2 to be more substantial.
I really like Bethesda's no-bullshit approach and ambition with this one. They don't just blow more shit up, make everything in an easy to produce and easy to consume comic-style, or bother you with melodramatic, adolescent characters on fanfiction level, but they make a serious fantasy setting, try to make it look fresh and overall a better game than before - not just better in regard to a certain market sector.
I've become very cynical about Bioware and their line of production. They make solid games, but their best days seem to be in the past. From now on, it's pleasing the rabid hordes of mainstream.

Easily Skyrim. I'm a sucker for Bethesda games, warts and all. They are far, far from technically perfect, but they still manage to be pretty damn fun, which is more than I can say from my experiences with Bioware.
Skyrim doesn't look like it's returning to the earlier RPG-heavy side of Bethesda, but I think that having a setting with a modicum of imagination and a dose of new engine will rectify the problems I had with Oblivion. I'll stick with Nethack when I'm in the mood for heavier RPG mechanics. Right now, having a mountainous barbarian wilderness where Nords wielding two axes go around slaying dragons by yelling at them sounds good to me.

This is kind of what I ended up doing for Oblivion. But which platform to play Skyrim on feels like the biggest choice I will make all year. I'm not, how you say... 'normal'.2fish said:
I just have to pick Skyrim. For me, The Elder Scrolls series is like some kind of super-game. I just love them. Bethesda could release a shitty TES game and I would probably still have to buy it. The formula of open worlds, deep and mature settings (Oblivion less so), customizable and free-form class and experience system, the immersion of visceral first person action, and the fleshed out and interactive world space hit all the right buttons. See that apple? On that table? Pick it up, throw it across the room, then eat it. Don't forget to steal the plate it was on. OH, APPLE WAS POISONED LOL.
And The Elder Scrolls has the benefit of (to my knowledge) the most incredible modding tools and community there are.
How the hell can you have a poll that includes a game not yet out. All the votes for Skyrim should be deleted as obviously they are all fan boys as the game isn't out for 6 months!
I don;t know who's more foolish - the person who put together the poll or the people that voted for a game they haven't played yet!
Out of the two games that have come out - well there not even the same. Dragon Age 2 is borderline Action-Adventure and is practically linear compared with the old school, hardcore cRPG that The Witcher 2 is!

Skyrim. I'm a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan.
I've heard that The Witcher 2 was like Dragon Age II done better, so I'm interested but not very. I liked Dragon Age II, but not as much as Origins or Oblivion.

I almost can't believe it, I'm in the majority and voted Skyrim?
Well ok, Dragon Age 2 was a massive flop with followers 'it seems' (haven't played the game, didn't like the first, don't judge me), so that rules that out.
And Skyrim is the, what? 5th? Installment in the series now? So perhaps it makes sense that it's out on top. The Witcher 2 has some serious hard core graphics though, mind you, I didn't buy it personally, I'm not sure I'll even buy Skyrim, but if I had to choose, that'd be the one.
I hope we all know the winner for next year... Mass Effect 3.

It's hard to predict which one will be best, more like which is one my anticipated/most wanted. I'd love to try The Witcher 2 based on its rave reviews but being a console gamer, I don't have the means to enjoy it (*fist shake*). However, I'm kind of holding my breath in excitement for Skyrim. I remember feeling this giddy in the lead-up to Oblivion so I'm really looking forward to seeing what its successor can pull off.
