Baldur's Gate vs The Witcher
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an age-old RPG/dungeon crawler that has captivated the hearts of many. Originally released back in 1998, Baldur’s Gate is possibly the very first RPG that has paved the way to the emergence of some of the more modern titles like the Dungeon & Dragons computer game franchise. The game is played in a pretty much team-based fashion where you will get to recruit heroes to your team and lead them into dungeons and other dangerous places in the Sword Coast to fight a wide variety of monsters in hopes of getting more loot... and of course the truth behind the sinister forces that are at work fuelling the tension that is about to break into an all-out war.This enhanced edition of the game also include a nice upgrade to its graphics (but don't expect visuals like The Witcher 3 though) and over 400 tweaks to improve the game experience overall. It also contain new adventures, characters and voice acting for the characters. The game even added in multiplayer support so you can play this game with your friends online!
Baldur's Gate is possibly the "father of all modern RPGs" and if you're curious how this timeless RPG can give birth to other epic RPGs or if you're simply nostalgic, you can get the game at a modest price on Steam and on your mobile devices.
The Witcher
The Witcher is one of the most world acclaimed action RPGs of its time. Inspired by the story and its fantasy world from the renowned Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher casts you as a famous mutant swordmaster and a professional monster slayer, Geralt of Rivia, in a non-linear yet intriguing plot filled with difficult decisions and important social topics like racism, politics and genocide. Being an action RPG, the game offers you hundreds of special abilities, potions and other magical augmentations in addition to realistic medieval sword-fighting moves to use in order to tactically take down your enemies depending on your own preferences, character build and play styles.The Witcher has come a long way since its first release back in 2008 and to celebrate its accomplishments, the developer, CD Projekt Red, has created a premium edition of the game complete with a rework of several aspects of the game, and include a director's cut, game guides, music CDs and a whole lot of other goodies. The game experience itself, despite having old-timey graphics, is already worth the cost but if you can get a ton of othe freebies, well, why not?
