Hey all i ahve money to buy either one of these games but only the one . As you might jave guessed im hungry for a rpg and i really enjoy the genre from fallout to final fantasy and even semi rpg games like dues ex anyways im looking for a something to really immersive my self in i know neverwinter nights 2 will do the job either way thanks to its great community but ive haerd good things about the witcher.the witcher or neverwinter nights 2
The Witcher has a better single-player campaign, but NWN 2 offers multiplayer and player-made adventures.Still, I would say that The Witcher is the better game.the witcher or neverwinter nights 2
They're both great games. I don't personally own The Witcher but I was watching a friend play it for a bit. Neverwinter Nights 2 is good, but I honestly felt the story was a bit dull. However, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer had a really awesome and improved setting/story, and I would definetely recommend getting Mask of the Betrayer expansion if you liked Neverwinter Nights 2.
NWN2 offers more of a traditional RPG in that you can look forward to finding the next best magic item, weapon, or armor in the next chest you open, the Witcher just does not have that great loot anticipation when you kill a tough monster or open a chest. Also of course in NWN2 you customize your own character in every way, in The Witcher you are playing an existing character, so it is more of an interactive story (choose your own adventure books anyone?). I enjoy both, but I have to say from an RPG traditionalist standpoint NWN2 is the better RPG.
I have both and i prefer the witcher over NWN2.
Okay, first of all. They're totally different games.
NWN1 and 2 singleplayer are more meant to show off what can be done with the toolset.
If you only care about singleplayer, The Witcher is your game.
However, if you either like building levels and whole campaigns of your own, NWN1 or 2 is for you.
Or if you like playing online with hundreds of high quality servers, each one with a totally different setting but often with a just as great community, then NWN1 or 2 is for you.
Then it also comes down to NWN1 or 2. That one's pretty hard for me to answer, I've been playing NWN1 for a long time, and I've also been building just as long. However, I've only scratched NWN2, back during the release. My overal impression was that while some things were vastly improved, there were also some things which were not as good in relation to 1.
Especially the toolset seems to give a lot more options, at the cost of a lot of more effort.
P.S.: Anyone who's only played NWN 1 or 2 in singleplayer, please go play MP now or keep out. :P Seriously, you haven't even played the game.
The Witcher by farNeverwinter Nights is the buggiest game ever (with every patch they fix a few things, but create even more bugs), the most unoptimised game ever (the graphics are like KOTOR with pixel shader and the system requirements are like Oblivion, but the graphics aren't nearly as good as Oblivion's), has a lame linear plot and has one of the worst endings ever (the expansion continues the story though). It's only good for the multiplayer and because it has mods. NWN2 was a HUGE disappointment. Obsidian will never be as good as Black Isle was.
The Witcher for sure.
I found that the Witcher was more satisfying storyline-wise %26 in single player. Everything in The Witcher seems to be of top notch quality while I found Neverwinter Nights II could be buggy and crazy in some aspects. Though the multiplayer and level building capability in Neverwinter is quite good so that can provide some hours of entertainment in that aspect, along with the general length of the main story. To avoid a lengthly post about the pros and cons of one another, I believe this decision comes down to one simple answer...If you're looking for quality singleplayer, I would highly suggest The WitcherIf you're looking for more of a multiplayer and replayable aspect (NWN will soak up duckets of your time) then go with Neverwinter Nights II.
get The Witcher first. Most sophisticated RPG in a while.then, when you're able and the prices drop...get NWN2 and expansion together. True D%26D games are rare these days and there's no telling when the next one will (ever)show up.
The Witcher, hands down.
Stupid question...The Witcher
Neverwinter Nights 2 has a class system, it's party based, one of the most annoying camera view systems ever, has multiplayer, a serious mod scene and a great combat system. The Witcher offers none of these but as far as a mainstream game goes the Witcher is ahead on storytelling and more complicated/engaging questing. It depends what you're into in an RPG, because they're completely different - to my eyes it's like asking 'Half Life 2 or CoD 4' - they are completely different. Anybody who explicitly goes OMG A or OMG B without elaborating on it is a blatent fanboy.
