thumb up DA:O was one of my favorite fantasy experiences of all time as well. You won't be disappointed with Witcher 3 Quan. It's storytelling is amazing. A lot of the side quests are just as fleshed out and interesting as the main quest in lots of other games. It's a lovingly crafted game and it shows. It's amazing. That said, I do like the dragon age lore and series better. I had the hard cover strategy guide and I remember spending hours just diving into the lore in that book. Few games have excited my imagination the way DA:O did.

Yes, it is my number 2 rpg. Could not ever get into any elder scrolls game. Witcher is GoT to Ages Lotr. I preferred Lotr to GoT as well.

Nice. Well if you liked Witcher 2 that much then I can't imagine you loving Witcher 3, it improves on W2 in just about every way. It's such a good game, I should play it again. Also the Gwent minigame in it is great.

I bet I will love it just not as much as Dragon Age. Dragon Age is like a true love. Other games are great but you only have a few true loves in your lifetime.

Yeah, I'd also recommend Witcher. Origins is arguably my favourite game of all time, but Witcher is a lot of fun, with some nice mythology and, once you get the hang of the combat, a satisfying experience.

I think Dragon Age Origins story is far better than most. I loved every second of it.

Witcher 3 is equally as good.

No way in hell can it match the glorious experience of origins. I will eventually get around to it.

It's fine. It has a fair amount of MMO elements in it that don't really work that well in a single-player game, but if you're just looking for a good fantasy story (that occasionally gets really good if you have all the dlc) with some decent gameplay, then you'll be fine.

If it means anything, my current hour-count in it is 246. So at the very least, there's lots to do.

I'd recommend finishing the first two if you want to get a full appreciation for the lore, too.

I see, thanks. How does the gameplay compare to the first two?

They tried to marry the first two in it, so it has elements of both. Enemies will try to flank you, and correctly positioning your characters is important, as is making sure the right people attack the right targets. Having your tank keep brutes busy, for example, so that they don't charge you and forcibly insert their axe in to your mage in an uncomfortable way.

You can get away with less than you did in 2, but it's not as punishing as Origins either.

The boss fights are generally well-designed, imo.

The Dread Wolf is the best plot twist in the entire series. Hands down, superb.

I get that the game is out a while, but posting a spoiler like that when the guy said he was just about to start playing it is really bad form, tbh.

He will not even know who that is. I did not name the character and my post spoils nothing. Only way is if he googles dragon Age 4 the trailer. Even then I gave no details with a vague comment.

How will he even know who that is until he finds out?

That it's a plot point at all should be his to find out.

Speaking of which, though, Surt, I would highly recommend buying the Trespasser DLC. As scummy as EA/Bioware are about story dlc, you won't get anything close to the full story without it.

My point is I spoiled nothing. It is like saying with regards to a movie the ending had a twist. Would you say that was spoiling the ending despite giving none of the details away?
