Poll: What game should I play next?

[kitabatake12]

I play on PC and I can mod the game... I also saw that Skyrim is full of mods.
I have bought only The Witcher 2 (Also finished Roach path)
I don't own Skyrim or Dragon Age Origins, I am asking what game to play first. Store is near me so I can buy those game now if I want. So that's my story
Thanks for your opinion.

Is it really that good it's worth tolerating that fuckwit Iorveth and his bunch of terrorists?

Well that's part of it all, isn't it? Take Roache's path (who can do just as much horrible shit as any Scoi'tael) and you don't learn much about Iorveth at all. Take Iorveth's, and you'll see he isn't the one-dimensional character you seem to think he is.

Well, as far as I know, Roache, while he can do just as much horrible shit, is being a cool guy towards Geralt no matter what path you take. And I don't think Iorveth is one-dimensional. I think he's a fuckwit.

That's certainly not the impression I got from Roache. Maybe later on in the game, but definitely not by the end of chapter 1. The guy is a loose cannon with an uncontrolled temper and believes in justice. Not really good virtues to have, and he had no real qualms with letting Geralt hang until he knew how useful he'd be in capturing the kingslayer. Their relationship improves over time though, of course, but then so does Iorveth's if you gave it half a chance. But throughout chapter 1, neither of them appear trustworthy or particularly loyal to Geralt. It's their characters that grow with the course of the story.

Roache really respected Foltest and Geralt WAS the one caught over his dead body with his sword out. He didn't know if there was a kingslayer or it was all a bunch of malarkey. And yet he let Geralt try and clear his name - that's worth a lot, because any other man in his position would just hang Geralt with no second thought. He has issues with scoia'tael - of course he does, they are terrorists, they aren't a bunch of quirky freedom fighters.

Well there's a problem in just deriding them off as "terrorists" without even attempting to understand them. A big no-no in the world of the Witcher. And I was more referencing Roche's quick temper with the peasants, which they were understandably upset at due to the lack of discipline of his own troops. Then later on, his own denial to accept that it was he who caused all of his men to be killed. Henselt may have given the order, but it was Roche who beckoned that order in the first place. Then he is shocked that Henselt would hang spies? As if Foltest wouldn't have hanged Kaedwenian spies caught in Temeria. So he's also a hypocrite.

Roche is a flawed character, certainly no less than Iorveth himself or the Scoia'tael. Let's not forget that throughout the history, humans have slaughtered innocent elves as well. The Scoia'tael aren't the only ones with blood on their hands, nor were they the first, so deriding them as "terrorists" while turning a blind eye to the actions of the kingdoms is.. well, very odd indeed.

Did you read the books? Because I did and they are terrorists. Yeah, kingdoms are being shit to non-humans - well scoia'tael slaughter guilty and innocents alike, including non-humans who refuse to join them. And yet, despite all that, scoia'tael turn out to be pawns of Nilfgaard, both in the books and the game. Of all factions, they are the least sympathetic one, causing nothing but trouble for everyone but Emhyr var Emreis.

First of all, as far as I remember, he wasn't shocked with Henselt doing that after finding out, more with Henselt finding out and how sudden everything was. Second, he was doing his job, it wasn't his fault. Third - Henselt raped Ves in addition to hanging all others, so stop saying that's what anyone would have done in his place. Spies are usually taken prisoner and lengthily interrogated, not hung on the spot and certainly not raped. He's not a hypocrite. Yeah, he is flawed - but most certainly no more than Iorveth.

 

[CannibalCorpses]

Hrmmm...i've played them all.

Skyrim has eaten up more time than any of the other 2 but is far too easy to break
Witcher 2 is a quality game that i have replayed a few times since getting all the achievements (a rare thing)
Dragon age is a steaming pile of boring game with a good story and i would recommend it to nobody

So on that basis i would say buy skyrim, play it through once and then go back and do witcher 2. Avoid dragon age like the plague.

 

[KingsGambit_v1legacy]

I'd suggest Witcher 2 but my ardent hatred of Elves means that's out of the equation and DA:O has the godawful Fade section, so I recommend Skyrim: maybe not as detailed or as in-depth as the other two, but you can't go wrong with the lusty Argonian maid Romans vs Vikings.

This mod [http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/816/?] removes the Fade section almost entirely. The game is better for it.

I went with Witcher 2 only because I'm currently playing it for the first time and at the crossroads where I have to choose between Roche and Iorveth. If anyone can convince me in the next 15 minutes or so why I should pick one path over the other I'll gladly listen, else I'm leaning toward Roche.

Dragon Age is a good game with a lot of content. It might be fun to play now ahead of Inquisition to get immersed a little in the world and lore. The best thing about it was the Origins stories in my opinion and it's a tragedy that not only was DA:O abandoned by BW after a single expansion but that DA2 (along with being mediocre) lost the ability to choose our own character or the origin stories. If you haven't done it before, I strongly recommend female city elf. This mod [http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/201/?] allows any combination of race, class and origin (particularly good if you want to be a mage without the Magi origin. Allows dwarven mages too). This page [http://www.shsforums.net/topic/48090-dao-recommended-mods/] has a list of other mods worth considering to improve various aspects of the game.

Skyrim is always fun but a massive time sink. I think I'm about done with my third playthrough now (only Mages, Companions and Main quest lines outstanding) having completed everything else. I loved Solstheim in the last DLC which wasn't out when I played it the second time. Dawnguard is brilliant. I played a female bosmer "druid" type. I used a two handed staff and magic in human form but also used werewolf a lot and other shapeshifting mods. Modded a lot for challenge, balance and content including Falskaar.

Yes, I have read the books which is why I'm sympathetic to the Scoia'tael. When invaders conquer your homeland and drive you into suppression, then of course they're going to fight back and be pissed off about it. In the world of the Witcher, innocents are killed in warfare. There is no Geneva convention. Tell me this, are the kingdoms also terrorists? After victories, plenty of innocent people get killed, and raped. Hell, you see it during the prologue. If a Scoia'tael warrior is a terrorist, then so is a Temerian soldier by my books.

And do you think Henselt really had any time to start interrogations and investigations? He had a war to fight, and just survived an assassination attempt. It's perfectly understandable why he'd be in no mood to grant quarter to his enemies. As for the rape, why even bring that up? In a game where entire nations are on the line, the tragedy of one women is hardly relevant.

Also, for some reason, you seem to be firmly against the Nilfgaard Empire, so this further confuses me of your view toward Henselt. Henselt dies - the conquest of the North is made that much easier for the empire. Know why? If Henselt is slain, Kaedwen falls into civil war. Now you have three of the four major kingdoms in chaos. Well done. You've done more for the empire than the Scoia'tael ever did. On the reverse, if Henselt lives and an alliance is brokered between him and king Radovid of Redania, there is suddenly a strong united north to stand against Nilfgaard.

So there you go.

 

[AmberSword]

God your choices.

Its like asking whether I want to be in Sovngarde, Valhalla, or Olympus. Three equally legendary titles to me, really impossible choice. I'd say that because you added "Iorveth's Path" to Witcher 2 it means you've already played through that game, so it basically comes down to whether you prefer first person or third person, solo or party based.

 

[laggyteabag]

I would really recommend Dragon Age, I just love the interaction between the party members and the locations that you visit. Some places really do outstay their welcome, granted, but it is a fun ride. The sequel, Dragon Age 2, is... questionable as to it's quality, however. If you can get your hands on the Ultimate Edition of the game you will be looking at around 80 hours or so of story driven content.

I never really got into The Witcher series, it is one thing that I have always wanted to play, but after a few minutes I get bored and play something else.

Skyrim is definitely the weakest entry here, however. Unless you plan on modding it into high heaven, it would be a strong avoid from me i'm afraid.

 

[Windcaler]

Unless your chomping at the bit to play the next witcher I would go with Dragon age origins. Its a game youll probably play for less time then skyrim but is still well worth your time with the various beginnings (Dalish elf being my personal favorite) and how they impact the story. Both games are even better with mods but Skyrim has the much more active and wide ranging modding community

Yeah, and the invasion in question happened how long ago? Way before the written history. Temerian soldiers are of course a bunch of bastards themselves, but their actions could at the very least be written off as "a la guerre comme a la guerre'. And again, they slay non-humans who refuse to join them. You say Roche is a hypocrite? Here's an example for each and every scoia'tael. Plus, as evidenced, scoia'tael make lives of regular non-humans much tougher because those are feared and suspected to be affiliated with them. If their end goal is to end supression and racism, they are hilariously bad at this.

He didn't have time for interrogation, but he did have time to rape her. Real nice. Well her tragedy was very relevant for Roche. He hand-picked her and all those men and trained them himself. That's why he was hell-bent on killing the bastard. And I let him, because if letting a rapist live is the price of victory, I better lose.

 

[Raikas]

I voted for Dragon Age: Origins (it's my personal favourite of the three), but honestly it depends.

If you finished TW2 more than a couple of months ago, I'd do that replay (if you just finished it, I'd give it some time - but then I find back-to-back replays to be generally dull, so your tolerance for that kind of thing may vary). And if you're just looking to kill some time and not worry about story for a bit, you can't go wrong with Skyrim. It's all about the mood you're in, I'd say.

 

[kitabatake12]

I finished The Witcher 2 with Roach path 2 days ago and I have plenty of time...
I just wanted to know because now I have money for only one game...

I had the game on PS3 so the mod isn't really applicable for me personally, but it was a godsend to a friend who was dreading going through a PC playthrough precisely because of the Fade. The funny thing is, faffing about in the unreality of the Fade could be an interesting concept with some gameplay tweaking, but how they ever thought that that maze garbage was the best way to portray it is beyond me. Also couldn't you already be a female city Elf?

As for Skyrim, haven't played it for a while but I do love the game (even if the civil war is criminally underplayed). I don't go for all that fancypants and untrustworthy magic, I sneak about and cut throats as an Argonian, with enough skill in light armour and healing potions to go toe-to-toe when I feel like it (killing animations are a joy to behold!).

Interesting points of view, i guess i'm the middle of the road here. I don't think the Scoia'tael are "terrorists" because that's a concept that don't exist, or even, have logic within medieval warfare. The thing about terrorists is that they go that extra mile that usually armies don't go, they don't respect the rules of warfare, etc....They are more pragmatic. In the medieval times, there were no rules of engagement, you could go on a campaign of genocide and people wouldn' bat an eye. So, it's impossible to call the Scoia'tael terrorists when both sides don't really care how far they go.

About the Henselt situation, since i was roleplaying the Witcher that i finished the first game, i let Roche killed him. The reasoning is quite simple. In the first game i chose the Witcher's Path, it's when you don't pick sides and fight both of them, the focus is in completing the mission, you don't care about political bullshit. So, i played Witcher 2 with the same mindset, the motive i used to help Roche is basically because he was helping me, and the other guy was an atagonist. So, when there was the Henselt problem, i really decided to stick with my guns. My Geralt woudn't care about Henselt, he was just one other man in his way, it didn't matter that he was a king, my character don't waste his time with politics, so if my ally wants to kill him, and the bastard raped another ally of mine? Why not kill him? There is nothing to lose here, just gain some satisfaction.

Ok then... I will play skyrim, try DAO and then take Iorveth's path. (based on the votes)
