I kinda agree with you. The only witcher game that caught my attention was 3 but it was a forgettable experience overall and felt more like an assassin's creed style action game rather than an RPG. the lack of mod support and replay ability is lacking too, unlike skyrim. Also, Geralt is an emotionless sex addict with memory loss

It's Mass Effect. Literally nothing about the game is right. Instead of an RPG or RPG elements it's literally an TPS with cooldowns. Shep has some of the worst voice acting and as your player character shouldn't have a voice. The writing is fucking abysmal and the planets were shallow and lack detail. Genuinely one of the worst games I ever tried last gen.

You're either baiting or you have no integrity whatsoever.

>>337968073
It's a lot of work for one race, imagine having to consider 4 more races as well in every decision in the game you are making, anon.

With that said, DAO was decent in that regard.
>>
Mass Effect and the Elder Scrolls series are definitely up there. Yes, that includes Morrowind and Daggerfall. Only worthwhile thing to come out of that series is Nehrim, which probably none of you has played, and hopefully the upcoming Enderal from the same guys:

The witcher universe has some generic concepts, like monster slayers and magic, but they're well executed and usually have some sort of twist or unique take.
>>
>>337969658
Fixes for camera, for inventory, hud overhaul, disabling sword tracers and auto sheathe, script merger itself, hairwork only on Geralt, lighting mods, etc, after HoS came out, even some of the textures got fucked and considering that BaW has even more core changes, it's all fucked.

I don't know, the whole fantasy & sci-fi bullshit is boring to me in general. They'd probably be more interesting if they didn't bore me with all that hocus-pocus nonsense, or the history of fictional races I don't give two shits about. I can't meaningfully connect to whatever bs they make up. Who gives a shit about racism and discrimination, when it's about dwarfs and elves? Am I supposed to feel sorry for mr. pointy-ears?

Lads, should I just buy Witcher 3 and play it? I've been playing Witcher 2 and I'm not super into it, but I've heard a lot of good things about W3
>>
>>337973886
W3 and W1 are WAYYYY better than W2. I don't know what W2 is so bad.
>>
>>337973886
Witcher 3 is pretty different in gameplay than Witcher 2, so there is a chance you might like it.
>>
>>337973886
Witcher 3 is leagues better than 2 in every aspect (Even combat, though some shitposters will disagree). I would recommend slogging through witcher 2 if you want to import your save over, but it's not a total requirement.

By default do you mean without DLC? You can totally play W3 without it, since the expansions are pretty much entirely cut off from the main game anyways.
Hearts of Stone is fucking great, though.

>>337975969
Oh, well I have no idea. I think the game may let you go through a checklist of decisions through the past games and choose what you want, but I'm not totally sure. A lot of the last games decisions don't have huge effects though, so it probably wouldn't greatly hinder you anyways.

You can choose to simulate a Witcher 2 save when you start a new game, which means after the prologue you'll get some questions to set what decisions you made.

There's 5 questions and only one determines whether or not you get a cool (but non-essential) cameo. It was never marketed as a game where your imported choices have a big impact and they don't. You won't really miss anything aside from that one cameo, which you probably won't even care about since you said you're not getting on with W2.
