And yes, it's going to be awesome.

There is no possible competitors for the Elder Scrolls world.

There won't be any "competition" in my household. We have four RPG gamers living here and none of us are interested in The Witcher.

Besides, I hate the idea that people think games are in "competition" with each other. This isn't the Olympics. Players can buy and play both games.

Looks very good and I think Bethesda could do with some healthy competition. Lets hope it lives up to the hype.

Same here, the game looks good but playing a beautiful game as Geralt still pales in comparison to playing a great game as who you want...sure a specific protagonist makes for better storytelling but I prefer to tell my own story.

On the other hand, any game that makes another company step their game up is always a good thing, similar to how Bioware has taken notes from Skyrim to improve the next Dragon Age (or so they say). It would be nice if The Witcher makes Beth want to try harder for TES 6.

I agree with that statement.

I wonder when this all started.

I think the majority of players will pick up games that they feel might interest them whether it is a single playthrough or playing it multiple of times.

The demand for TES games is quite massive and something other developers certainly would not have failed to notice in what can only be described as a very competitive industry. I feel that over the next 2 to 3 years we are going to see more of these types of game hitting the market which can only be good for us consumers. Who knows, a developer in the near future may release a huge open world game that's well written, has plenty of replay value and is not bug ridden. This would certainly make current developers up their game together with giving players much more freedom in what they choose to buy. Developers complacency would then be much more frowned upon than it is now and players of these types of game would certainly benefit in many areas. That's healthy competition.

Bioware and CDPR are looking to go after the TES crowd with DA:I and TW3.

Fortunately, this new found competition might motivate BGS to try harder.

People just now discovering The Witcher? I've honestly considered some of the series (specifically The Witcher 2) to already surpass TES in many aspects.

I tend to agree. It may be an RPG, but the 2 games are very different from each other in many ways. For me, I can not get into The Witcher's combat.

How so? Personally the Witcher 2 seemed like a mature Fable to me, not only in mechanics but all around it felt like Fable.

I suppose you could say the story is better but it's much easier to tell a tale when you have a specific protagonist that carries over through multiple games then in a setting where you can be any race or alignment.

Indeed.
