I've never played a fantasy RPG before. Is the Witcher 3 a good place to start?
>>320114719
Witcher 1 is
Nah, you won't get much of the story or characters.
>>320114774
Witcher 1 is almost unplayable. I wouldn't recommend it to someone new to the genre.
>>320114719
Considering it's a video game, it's not really RPG.

>Witcher 1 is almost unplayable
Only if you are a retarded faggot.

>Witcher 1 is almost unplayable. I wouldn't recommend it to someone new to the genre.
it was basically my first if you don't count Skyrim
>>320114839
why is it unplayable?
>>320114859
its an action rpg and no amount of bickering or mental gymnastics will change that desu
Yeah. The systems are fairly basic and all the dialogue is voice-acted with choices being fairly rote but still feeling kind of meaningful. For someone new to the genre it's a pretty good starting point.
>>320114719
Witcher 2 is a fine starting place. Don't bother with 1.
Wait for Dragon's Dogma my nig

>its an rpg
You are wrong. It's a video game.

Witcher 1 combat is pretty bad but the story is great.
>>320114892
Witcher 1's combat is basically a rhythm game with very little thought. Smaller, fast enemies get left clicked and bigger, larger enemies get right clicked.
>>320114991
Go be a Grognard somewhere else. And cut your fucking hair.
>>320114991
a video game filed under action rpg category
>>320115012
i thought it was ok, i can understand how some people didn't like the rhythmic stuff but i thought it was pretty ok and kinda cool with higher level combos
Depends. Do you enjoy video games with terrible gamplay? If so, then Witcher 3 is perfect for you.
>>320114892
because the combat is awful, still a great game tho
>>320115045
yeah i know that considering how i played 1 week after the EE edition came out, but i didn't find it either unplayable nor bad per se
>>320115045
>>320115123
also as far as i remember you have to change styles based on enemies, not right/left click
>>320115123
If you do not made the combat, then maybe you could start with The Witcher 1. The story is good and you get to collect baseball cards with sluts on them.
>>320115191
i played witcher 1 m8
>>320115234
Oh, i thought you were OP.
>>320115307
why would you think that when my post explicitly states i played the EE?
>>320114719
Terrible place to start, you won't be able to play the actually good ones because of their age if you start with a game from 2015
One of the best rpgs of all time.
lel, no. It's empty, easy, the story is meh, combat is probably the worst in any rpg after gothic3.
It's a mid tier RPG, the only thing going for it is the graphics.
I don't think it's a good idea to start any series with the third game. A big part of RPGs is the story, and you'll mess that up if you don't play it in order.
If you can deal with older graphics, I'd recommend Neverwinter Nights. It's cheap, it will run on pretty much anything, and there's a lot of content available for it at the Neverwinter Vault. It does use D&D's awkward and (in my opinion) inferior magic system, though, so it might not be best for you if you want to play a spellcaster.
I haven't played it myself, but Dragon Age Origins might be a good starting point as well.
>>320114719
For a starter RPG, only if you like East - European folklore. For more classic fantasy settings i would reccomend somthing more generic like Elder Scrolls/Dragon Age or Divinity

This is a joke, right?

You think this would be good for my wife's son? Just wondering.
>>320123487
That area looks a lot like the place in Skyrim where you fight the first dragon.
>>320124129
who'd have thought... two locations based on scandinavian geography would look similar in two different fantasy RPGs!
Liberty city in GTA4 also looks like New York City in Max Payne :O
>>320124386
Yeah, I know, but it's not just the scenery. The positions of the tower and the roads are almost exactly the same as well. It looks just like if you were standing at Fort Greymoor and looking at the Western Watchtower. The only significant difference is that there's one extra road.
