If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc. Zalis Send a noteboard - 14/01/2011 03:07:12 PM
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.

I need a good RPG. Ghavrel - 13/01/2011 06:49:32 PM 3341 Views

I have the Witcher waiting at home for me to install next week Stephen - 13/01/2011 08:59:45 PM 1861 Views
Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:38:15 AM 2007 Views

All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 1100 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 1980 Views
It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM 1980 Views
I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers) Aemon - 15/01/2011 08:12:34 PM 1958 Views
The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:15:10 PM 2031 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 1115 Views
I don't have time to do this justice, but I'll make a brief comment. Aemon - 18/01/2011 09:30:20 PM 1998 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 1971 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 1950 Views

So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often. Legolas - 25/01/2011 10:28:34 PM 1920 Views

Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1915 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 2080 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1933 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 1964 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 1101 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 1991 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 1972 Views

No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 2143 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 1105 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1893 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1888 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 1976 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 1971 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 2023 Views

"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 1079 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 1959 Views
I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 05:09:34 PM 2070 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1873 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 1085 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 1955 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 1973 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1876 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 2032 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 1088 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1928 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1851 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 2038 Views
Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game. Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 06:43:16 PM 1973 Views
Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO. Zalis - 21/01/2011 11:57:26 PM 2035 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1901 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 1994 Views
ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off. Zalis - 22/01/2011 03:27:05 PM 1850 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 2011 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 2027 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1938 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 1091 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 1025 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1915 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 2042 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1842 Views
Do you know about "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"? It will be released Nov 2011 *NM* Roland00 - 15/01/2011 04:52:13 AM 1040 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1881 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1928 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1898 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 2140 Views
That was the first FF I quit before even finishing, and consequently the last I played in the series Zalis - 18/01/2011 03:23:40 PM 1931 Views
I wouldn't even call JRPGs and Western RPGs the same genre, really. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 19/01/2011 02:45:17 PM 998 Views
Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella. Zalis - 19/01/2011 03:11:41 PM 1925 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 1999 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 1059 Views
If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/01/2011 06:36:02 PM 1026 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1916 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 1060 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 1964 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1845 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 1999 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 2014 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 1997 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 1033 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 950 Views
