I loved The Witcher 2, liked KotOR, am a WRPG fan and love me a good tactical RPG. Yet I found Dragon Age: O to be a chore, really boring.

The Witcher 2 was good, Dragon age: Origins was better though.
I played through the Witcher 2 twice, 4 times through DA:O.

Combat was not the strongest point for me in the Witcher 2, experiencing chapter 2 from 2 totally different perspectives was.

you are beyond help.

@JGarret - Maybe it would help if you let us know which action RPGs you have played that you liked.

But its better then in most RPGs

I guess, but it lacks compared to tis other strong areas i still like it though. 

I liked the combat in Origins, you actually had to think... Better than Dragon Age 2 where it's all consolified and enemies come at you in waves.
I also loved the Characters and Story. - With mods the graphics didn't look to bad either.

Only thing that Dragon Age 2 did better was the graphics (Tessellation!) and the fact I could run the game in 5760x1080 instead of only 1080P without the GUI going silly.

As for the Witcher... Get it, it's a fantastic game! And the developers who made it are completely against DRM, so they're worth supporting.

I started Dragon Age: Origins today and I don´t see why people keep comparing it to The Witcher 2? They are nothing alike. Its like comparing potatoes and Watermelons.

My favorite RPG this gen hands down. Loved the combat, story, characters, skill tree, dialogue choices, replayibility, etc. Up there as one of the best single player experiences this gen for my day one money.

I suppose I am going to be the contrast in this thread. I personally haven't enjoyed the game or the purchase. What I found was a very inaccessible game. So much so that I cast it aside in frustration, and have never bothered to play it since. For me the game felt like something I was fighting against. I often felt defeated, deprived, and cheated. The almost complete lack of explanation on some things was maddening.

The game just does a deplorable job of preparing you, or helping you out for that matter. I would take some quests only to get to the end without any obvious resolution. At other times I would take quests that put me up against a enemy that I had no chance of defeating. Worse still I would take some quests, and wasn't given even enough information to infer what I needed to do to move them along.

I guess what I am saying is I spent most of my time playing this game hopelessly stuck. This game has to be the most bipolar thing that I have ever played. I agree that the story seems sound, and some of the quests had their charm, but for me that doesn't trump all the frustration it was putting me through. The game just made me plain angry. Like I was intentionally being fucked with for someones sick amusement.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this game, because a game guide is damned near mandatory. I consider myself to be pretty damn good at working my way through problems, but this game was just non stop what the fuck do I do now. Sure the story has its moments, and the dialogue system is good even if it has been done previously by other game developers. That doesn't change the fact that underneath it is a sloppy mess of a game. That I feel was not properly broken by game testers prior to launch.
