Skyrim by far. I haven't as much interest in the Dragon Age game and universe and my experience with Oblivion has pretty much sold me on the Elder Scrolls.
At the moment I'm more stoked about Skyrim than Dragon Age 2, and DA2 more than the Witcher 2. I will likely completely ignore The Witcher 2 as I was very unimpressed with the first game.
All of them, I loved all the previous iterations of these so the new ones should be even better.
skyrim is a given for anyone who has read the cover article on it in gameinformer. Dynamic questline, more active combat, better spells, bioshock 2 style dual wielding. When it comes out, I have no clue if I will be able to stop. I hope my fall exams next year don't suffer for it.
I pre ordered Dragon age 2 already so im pretty pumped about that. But I also really really want skyrim! I dont have any interest in the witcher at all.
Given that I'm a huge Dragon Age: Origins fan, and the fact I've not played the other game series (Please, don't punch me in the face!) I'm going to go for Dragon Age 2.
Saw this Dev Diary about it recently, it makes it look like it's going to be amazing. http://bit.ly/huOgLS
Character development is my friend.

I don't really know what to expect from DA2, since the news about the game have been pretty much "We changed everything, while keeping everything the same as the first game!". Not really sure whether I'll get a medieval Mass Effect, or a Baldur's Gate sequel.
I don't have much expectations for Witcher 2, I liked the first game, but I'm not really a "fan". I'll probably get it, whenever it comes, and like it.
Skyrim'll definitely be a good sandboxy game, although much like Witcher 2, I'm not a massive fan, and I won't shed tears if it fails to deliver.
I'd have to say I'm looking most forward to DA2, although I have my doubts about it. If I had to guess, Witcher 2 will probably be the best gaming experience out of the three.

if i had to pick one at the moment i would have to go with the witcher 2. cause i loved witcher 1 even with its many many bugs. also because i havent heard much about skyrim but i didnt like oblivion.
But dragon age 2 looks good. i like the first one and the 2 will probably just be better.
I hope skyrim has a better leveling sytem than oblivion. i hated how enemies would level with you so there was like no point to leveling at all. i think i heard something about skyrim having a more fallout style of leveling system.
But in the end if i have the money ill probably get all 3 cause they all look good

Skyrim.
Even though I thorougly enjoyed the first DA, I can't seem to give a damn about Final Dragon Effect 2, and while I am looking forward to The Witcher 2, I don't expect anything beyond a very competent classic action C-RPG.
Skyrim, however, I currently hold to very, very high expectations.

I don't care if Skyrim will be buggier and its world overrated. Its dynamic world and massive options for character customization will make it better than anything BioWare can ever hope to make. Even if Beth fails at main quests now *glares at Oblivion and Fallout 3*, it still has a hope of looking at Interplay and Obsidian's styles, and remembering what it did with Daggerfall.
The problem with Bioware's stories and games is... there's only an illusion of choice. They have very little replay value, no matter how fun the character progression/development is. All encounters ultimately go down the same way. Once you've played it once, aside from a few dialogue options, you've already seen and done everything. It's done in 40-120 hours.
Skyrim will never get old. Mods will keep it fresh indefinitely.
Ultimately, though, Skyrim's answer to Dragon Age II is "Fuck you, I'm a Dragonborn"

Skyrim all the way! I've logged almost 500 hours in ESIV: Oblivion, so I'm super-excited to explore Skyrim for the first time [sub]because I never played the other ES games.[/sub]
The results are almost depressing.
Skyrim will prolly be like a MMORPG world, but without the multiplayer bit: a big and pointless treadmill, just like Oblivion and Morrowind were. Include uninspired voice-overs by 3 people for every npc and the worst animation in the triple A industry. The chronically bored will play this.
Dragon Age 2 will prolly be a dumbed down DA:O, with all the challenge and the origins removed, so all that's left is standard Bio mediocrity. Higher production values but still meh. Storyfags will love this.
The Witcher2 could very well suck and the combat of the original was poor for sure, but it has the best chance of the three to turn out above average. The original showed some ambition in the C&C atleast and it was refeshingly incorrect. CDPR are also new in the industry and may still improve.

Dragon age two for me, loved the first one, and from what I've seen they're changing many of the things that I found irritating. However, Skyrim is very close, The changes they made to stealth and magic are really making me excited.
I thought the first Witcher game was decent, but I'm not very far in it because it requires very heavy dedication and a lot of the quests are chores.
As for BioWare games, I dislike party based RPGs. If it was multiplayer that would be another story, but DA:O is not and neither are any other BioWare games. I've played all of the BioWare games but just like The Witcher they require a lot of time and dedication which I honestly don't want in a game.
The previous Elder Scrolls were fun games, but the thing is that Elder Scrolls (Only Oblivion and Morrowind, Daggerfall or Arena weren't like this) age horribly. Morrowind now requires heavy modding to be enjoyable these days, and Oblivion needs a little modding to fix all the little things you could nitpick about (gaurds, boring landscapes, god-awful player models). So my vote definitely goes to Skyrim.

Dragon Age 2.
I have never been a fan of the Elder Scrolls series. Feels too wide open to me.
BioWare games, on the other hand, have never disappointed me.
