@imca: if you mean just the witcher 1 then i can partially agree with that sentiment

witcher 1 does not play well at all

witcher 2 is fuqqin fantastic

I do mean Witcher 1 yes, I will admit I have not tried the second one yet.

But I have no fucking intents to for two reasons, 1 I bloody hate fixed charecter RPG's and two and more important.

completely demonizing the series for that one thing isn't particularly fair

and there's a lot of customization in the witcher games, even if the character is pre-established

The Witcher does some extremaly sexist shit, like turning bedding your female party members into a collectable card game.

[up] Which completely defeats the point of a WRPG in the first place.

not necessarily

there's a shit ton of branching advancement

sure you can't customize geralt appearance wise but you can customize him in basically every other way

Not being able to change backstory and appearance but calling it customization is like saying I can customize Cloud since I can chose his moveset ad his name.

the point in a WRPG isn't for a fully customizable character

it's simply a RPG made in the west

@trip: well not really

there are fundamental design differences beyond where they're made

@imca: you can customize geralt far more than you can customize cloud

also diablo doesn't have character appearance customization either

Thanks for helping me prove my point space. tongue

And no, the point of a Westren RPG is to forge your own story.

[up] Diablo is a hack and slash, not an RPG.

I thought a Western RPG was just an RPG made in the West.

I've never heard that they need to allow you to make your own story.

I dunno.

i disagree

i feel the point of western RPG stories is to have a set story

and allow the players to influence it significantly in different ways

which is what the witcher lets you do

also diablo is a western rpg with hack and slash gameplay
