Re: Witcher. I think most RPGs are a bit male gazy. Generally, that's only an issue when it goes to outright mysogny. ie your mission is "beat a hooker". But, that might be why I get bored with them and find most of the stories sophmoric. I thought the Witcher was excellent. But, I haven't finished it. I haven't finished Sleeping Dogs either. I like Rockstar games but the last one I finished was Bully. Bully came out a looong time ago. I haven't finished a GTA since GTA III. But, I have messed around in them.

Bioware I have always liked because you don't have to have a romance and you don't have to be "good'. And, even your early choices effect the game. They use trigger points better than most games. I don't play FPS, as I get seasick. But, I understand Fallout does similar stuff with their game.

But, truly, If I am honest, I think its because they match the tone of so many fantasy adventures from my teenage years.

Re AGE: I have heard a ton of hype about and I have been very curious. But, again, I don't think I've gotten into an RPG since Shadow Run was a thing. Anyway, thanks for your opinion.
