witcher 2 or skyrim?

I was the same as you, wanted a change from my usual fps. I bought Witcher 2 and loved it. Then I bought Skyrim. I played Skyrim longer as there is more to do but enjoyed Witcher 2 more.
 
Skyrim here too. The Witcher 2 is annoying in that the easy combat is ridiculously easy, but the normal combat is bloody annoying in places. I haven't been back to it since I got stuck on the fight with the water tentacley thing.
 
Sorry to threadjack but

I've already played skyrim a fair bit, want to try something different. Would you reccomend the witcher 2 then? Is it buggy? I see there is now an enchanced version out for £15 on steam.
 
The Witcher 2 is an unbelievable game, Skyrim is dull and boring as hell.

You can also get The Witcher 2 dirt cheap and DRM free on GOG.com quiet often too.

I got my copy for as little as £4.

The Witcher 2 is the first game since the original Quake that I played again once I had finished. Worth every penny of £15 imho
 
Despite being fantasy RPGs, they're very different games.

Witcher 2 is a more focused, story-driven RPG, it also used to be quite tough, but they've apparently made combat easier than when it was first released when they revised a lot in the expanded edition.

Skyrim on the other hand is a much more open world, do what you like sort of affair. It's main strength, especially on PC, are the number and diversity of mods on it, but I and many others I know find, like a lot of Bethesda games, it feels a bit 'empty' as though they did half the work, and then left the polish to the modders.
Still a good game though, but not to the levels it was hyped to (IMO)
 
Don't make the mistake and choose one over the other.

They both have their merits, play both.

As to which one to try first, not sure.

The Witcher 2 absolutely destroys Skyrim.

Skyrim was a terrible game for complete casuals. It was incredibly shallow with a mediocre storyline, poor combat and terrible quests. The Witcher 2 had:

better music
better locations
better art style and graphics
better characters
better storyline
choices that matter
better alchemy system
better monsters
better lore
better animations.
