It's very similar to Dragon's Age. I've been palyg it for a couple of hours and it's great!

I found Witcher 2 to be a lot more linear and less free roaming than oblivion was and held my attention much better than dragon age did. Original Witcher though takes a while to get going.

I'm not sure about the witcher, but the witcher 2 isn't as open as oblivion or dragon age, and although there are sidequests and such each chapter is played within a specific area, and the main quest line takes you from area to area. .You are free to explore each place but you can't travel to other areas whenever you want. The main quests are quite specific and it's quite easy to follow what you have to do (some of the side quests are not quite as obvious). It's a good game and although tough to get the hang of the combat system it can be quite fun once you are used to it.

The Witcher is not for you.

Seriously though, it's a great game, but it takes absolutely ages to get going. It is a very long game though with a very good story. Yoo don't get much help with regards to pointing you in the right direction in quests etc, but you are basically free to go about things as you wish. You don't get the freedom of, for example, Oblivion but it is generally an open game.

The worst thing about it was the character models!

That's because it's not, I don't understand what the other chap is jibber jabbering about!

Yeah, it's nothing like DAO. The Witcher 2, i can understand if you think is like DA, but not the first onel

dirtychinchilla · 6 Aug 2011 at 16:27

In terms of it being a medieval rpg I thought it was similar...

Well Witcher games are closer to DAO/KOTOR/BG school of RPG than to Oblivion/Gothic, because they are much more story/dialogue based. They are not sandboxes.

Yeah, I'd just stay away from anything rpg wise if that's the case. The quests are kinda the point

Game looks fantastic, but just a question is it similar to oblivion/Dragon age in its regards to its gameplay?

I got really fed up with the above just because I didnt know what the hell i was supposed to be doing half the time and just had todo lame quests all the time.

I didnt find Stalker and fallout too bad, even though i did give up on them!

Do you mean witcher 1 or 2?

I would say both are more accessible than games like dragon age/oblivion, a d the second one even more so, as it is a more polished product.
