I'm fairly torn between which of these two games I'd enjoy more. They both seem to be a really immersive, heavy story, compelling and overall 'them feels, man' type games. But both seem to be nightmarishly long games, and no way in hell I can play both, especially with a hope for Dragon Age: Inquisition on Xmas. So the ultimate question arises: Fantasy daemon slaying vs. gritty bandit killing. Orcs vs. raiders. Sword vs. rifles. Health potion vs. Medkit. Zombies vs. radiation zombies.
I loved the Fallout series(New Vegas especially. Clocked in just over 300hrs) and love the whole post apocalyptic mad max feel. But then again, I enjoy fantasy games as much as the next fellow. Swords, wenches and skeleton archers? What's not to enjoy?! The general consensus, as far as I can tell on the Steam forums, seems to be D:OS has better/more enjoyable combat and a lighter, campier story, but less customization. W2, on the other hand, has way more replayability(which I'm not convinced is a selling point given how looooooooooooong this game is) and choices, while having a bit darker themes overall, including hugely unintentional consequences(Highpool or AG center, anyone?!)
D:OS seems to be a more polished game since it's been out longer, and it's prettier, but W2 has the old-school look to it and they're working on patches. D:OS has multiplayer, but I can straight up say I'll never play that. Hate muliplayer if the other person isn't in the room.
Just looking for a little input. Opinions, objections, or alternative games?
