General Discussion

Which one should I buy and why? :D

...

Oblivion is overhyped crap. Witcher is a secret hit. Whereas Oblivion gives only one option to solve each quest, Witcher usually has more ways to deal with them. Obliviou could be a solid game, but the level scaling system is just horrific. You never feel like improving, because every stupid creep in game improves everytime you level up. Witcher is not a perfect game apparently either, but in compare to Oblivion it shines.

Buy Oblivion then download the mods at this LINK.

Witcher has bad translations, weird graphics glitches and too many cut scenes.

With the correct mods Oblivion is a far superior game.

More opinions & info please.  I'm going to buy one of them in 2 hours.  I want  abig world that I can explore, I don't want it to be on rails.  I want to be a spell caster and I like the ability to create my character with the skills and attributes that I pick.  Right now I'm thinking oblivion, but I'd like to know more.

If that's truly what you want, then Oblivion would be the way to go.

The witcher only has a few spells and for the most part they are not useful. The world is more linear as well compared to Oblivion.

The witcher is more of a story RPG that is pretty cool but it terms of what you want, Oblivion with it's less linear and large world that can be added to with the use of mods and more is the way to go.

In Oblivion you can go anywhere in the world.. you can just wander off and do your own thing and never look  back at the main quest. The world is very huge.

In Oblivion you can be multiple races. each effects stats and has special powers unique to the race.

In Witcher  you play the main character. who is human.

In oblivion you can make your character look many different way at creation

In witcher you look like the main character.

In oblivion you can pick from a multitude of classes. Or pick parts of classes and put them all together to make a new class (that you name.)

In oblivion your skills go up if you use them .... run around jumping all the time and your athletic skill will go up. hit things with a sword and your blades skill will go up.. Cast a heal spell and your heal spell will go up... pick a lock, your lock pick skill goes up. Many many skills....

In Witcher you go up in level and get what you get at that level ... you just have to kill stuff / finish quests.

Witcher is played 3rd person view.

Oblivion is best played in first person view (you can play in 3rd person but its just not as good)

I would highly recommend Oblivion, probably one of the best games I've played in a while (that's not multiplayer).  It was great for the 360, and probably wven better for the computer.

WTF is witcher? Get Oblivion. Oblivion is just one of the best RPG's out there and so many hours of gameplay. Has to be one of the best X360 RPG's. I do think it's better than Mass Effect too, just for the fact that it's longer and more free roaming.

Um I would get them both they are both really great games and have good points and bad points too each but I wouldn't have wanted to miss playing either. I had a lot of fun with both.
