If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc.

All I want is a mildly original world that has interesting politics and a wide variety of choices while maintaining an interesting story (or at least a facsimile thereof)!
If you install in English and give it a chance, then The Witcher definitely has this. You'd have to play past the first chapter, though, because it picks up pace once you get into the city.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring.

Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called.

It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series.

I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers)

The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game.

So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often.

"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM*

I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth

You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25

Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game.

Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO.

That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story.

ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off.

I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others.

I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind.

Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella.

If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM*
