Mass Effect 1: Good story, world building, characters, garbage gameplay.
Mass Effect 2: Perfect game
Mass Effect 3: Perfect game
Witcher 1: Garbage
Witcher 2: Slightly less garbage but not good
Witcher 3: Perfect game
ME wins overall.
Lol if you think ME1 has garbage gameplay then how can you say TW3 is a perfect game when its combat is so godawful.
Not surprised at the poll leaning heavily to Mass Effect - its a strong trilogy where each game ties into each other well with fantastic characters and (mostly) good gameplay. However, I think I prefer the Witcher 3 alone more than any game in the Mass Effect series honestly.
I usually like science fiction more than fantasy based settings too, but the Witcher 3 was the game that made me really get into that setting. I think the optional quests of Witcher are better, and the stories in the paid DLC are fantastic pieces in their own right. I also like the lore in Witcher (which I suppose ties into its setting). As a whole, I just found the Witcher's universe more complex than Mass Effect.
This is evident by even asking this question lol
Witcher 3 is the only great Witcher game, the game that even elevated the franchise. Mass Effect despite some story beats has 3 excellent games.
They've had some issues with characterisation of trans people in the past so I wouldn't let them off completely, just as they can and should improve with racism and sexism too, but generally in their games they are trying and improving, and they haven't tried to court gamer gaters in their marketing either. There's really not a single game dev out there that doesn't have stuff with women, poc and LGBT they need to improve on but you can tell which ones seems to legitimately want to improve, and CDPR had the chance to but really really blew it completely.That's not even a question.
BioWare may have its issues but at least they're not transphobic.
You're right. My point was that they're not as bad as CDPR but I shouldn't have implied they have no issues in that regard.They've had some issues with characterisation of trans people in the past so I wouldn't let them off completely, just as they can and should improve with racism and sexism too, but generally in their games they are trying and improving, and they haven't tried to court gamer gaters in their marketing either.

I think I like every Witcher game more than it's counterpart from the Mass Effect trilogy but I think I paradoxically like the Mass Effect trilogy as a whole more.
Truth is like a gut punch sometimes, that's for sure. You'll be ok.The worst Witcher games is better than the best Mass Effect game. Witcher 1 was awesome. Disgraceful poll results.
