    The servers were s--- last night. There was so many people crowding around quest npcs that they wouldn't load up and you couldn't talk to them.

    Lmao that first quest in the starting area was a clusterfuck
    Pretty fun so far, though...I only had time to link up with the Prophet and I went to bed. My dual-wielding, lion-guy is in the process of becoming a BAMF

    oh yes, dual wielding FTW. I made a Dark Elf DragonKnight focused on dual wielding. Just not sure if I wanna go with heavy or medium armor yet. So far I like the way the heavy armor looks better but I like the medium armor skills better. So I'm at a crossroads.

    Lmao that shriveled soul shirt or whatever.

    You get some better stuff pretty relatively early. And stealing is pretty easy so far. I stole a whole d--- suit of iron armor that is enchanted with some good s---.

    So I was torn between this and The Witcher 3, I ended up picking the Witcher 3, and although its good, I think i made the wrong decision.

    So before I get this game can someone explain the Plus membership. Seems like a waste of money but will not having it impede me from the game? Especially with DLC

    I'm probably not getting the Plus membership, so I can't help you there.
    What don't you like about The Witcher? I heard nothing but good things about it.

    I really enjoy the game but I just don't think it's as good as everyone says it it. Fair or not I'm comparing it too Skyrim, because they're similar and a lot of people were saying they did a lot of things correctly that Skyrim did wrong.

    I've played all the Elder Scroll games with the exception of the new one and while I haven't played any of the Witchers until now, I just feel its missing so much. The combat system is absolutely horrible, actually movement period is pretty sketchy. Combat just boils down to swing once or twice and dodge and repeat, and playing on the highest difficulty, killing some enemies is a chore.

    In the end it's a great game but I just feel very limited, and allthough the maps are massive, they're very bare.

    Nice analysis. Sounds like I went with the right choice then! Other than server issues and slightly-clogged initial quests, I haven't ran into anything I didn't really like :jordan:
    Combat is pretty much the same as in Skyrim (from what I can tell), customization is still very present, etc. I mostly got it to hold me over until Fallout 4.

    NA Servers were down all last night. I was kind of bummed, but not too bad. I'll probably hit it hard this weekend.

    For those of you interested, I have started a Guild, if you wanna join up just hit me with your gamertags and I'll s---t you invites. You can be in up to like 5 at a time, and any one that had 10 members can have a guild bank, so that's extra storage along with your regular bank, plus there's a guild trader and such.
