Which to play?

mayh3m · 04-10-2012, 05:53 PM

So i am going to play an RPG here in the next little bit. I have copies of The Witcher EE (first game) and this game installed but not yet played. Which game should be first? Anyone played both that can offer an opinion?

I have played and loved TW2 so am leaning towards TWEE. But I hear good things about this one.

Well I enjoyed the TWEE a large amount when I first played it through. Though it's quite different compared to TW2; combat wise. But overall the story is great, if you can handle the combat then you should enjoy it.

Haven't played much of Divinity 2, though it does take a little while for it to get to any decent point, but both are enjoyable. If anything start whichever one you want to play; or can play, first.

If it was me I'd lean towards The Witcher though.

They're definitely quite different, and TW1 is even different from TW2 so that makes it even more complicated. It's a bit like asking whether you should have a burger or pizza first, there's no real comparison you can draw between which is better than the other. TW1 is a lot more about planning, formulas, and talking to NPCs, while Divinity 2 is more closer to the traditional structure of an older RPG where there's a heavy mix of combat in with questing and exploration--TW1 doesn't have a ton of exploring but that's because it focuses on other things mostly.

So in the end it's completely up to you. Both games have a learning curve to get to a point where things start getting good. Personally I thought it took longer in TW1, but that's just my stupid opinion.
