Did dragon age rip off the witcher (books) or is this some archetype with a name?
I’m guessing archetype since there are things that sort of rhyme with it like the watchers on the wall in ASOIAF, but I don’t know the name for it.

DA was a direct result of Bioware shitting their pants over Witcher. There was not-so-subtle butthurt posts on the bioware forums by developers/mods anytime Witcher was brought up. Lead to the "This is the new shit" marketing and them trying to up the blood and gore levels to be more "mature" like the witcher.
Nice asspull
DA:O was in development since 2002 and the tone was already part of that you massive fricking homosexual
bioware dev in denial
You moron, Dragon Age: Origins began as an adaptation of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and was later retooled.
It's not a secret. Just do a simple Google search.
>and was later retooled.
Yea, once Witcher came out and they saw how fricked they were.
>once Witcher came out and they saw how fricked they were.
You mean the game that sold like ass outside Poland and Russia, because the comically bad translation made it near unplayable?
Lol, now who's talking out their ass?
https://www.gamedeveloper.com/pc/-i-the-witcher-i-sells-one-million-copies-in-a-year
One million copies in a year for a fully voice acted game, with more than half of those sales being in Poland.
One million sounds like a lot to me.
Dragon Age: Origins sold 3,6 million in a year, for comparison.
>an rpg from a renouned and respected developer that came out on all consoles sold more than a game from a literally who dev released solely on PC
have a nice day disingenuous moron
And another American who lacks reading comprehension. I wrote explicitly it sold well in Poland and Russia, because every Slav with a PC bought it. Outside of those two it sold like shit.
>1 million copies from a literally who dev based on a ltierally who setting
that's an amazing result
Which part of
>You mean the game that sold like ass OUTSIDE OF POLAND AND RUSSIA
Did you cretins not get?
>>You mean the game that sold like ass OUTSIDE OF POLAND AND RUSSIA
It didn't? Also irrelevant to Bioware ripping them off.
I don’t remember people really shunning Wardens outside of the first game, and that was just because of Loghain. Usually Wardens are respected.
This.
Lorelet forgot a Warden commander tried once to take down a Ferelden king so they aren't like there.
>they are shunned by normal people
grey wardens aren't shunned. they are quite respected in fact. loghaine's autism is an outlier
The only thing Origins didn't rip off were good graphics and animations because the game looks like ass.
ASoIaF? Where they got the rest of the inspiration from?
Is everyone here 15?
an early death in battle
half the witchers live for hundreds of years, dont they?
None of these elements are particularly original or creative. You can look into D&D/fantasy settings that predate both these games by a lot and likely find all kinds of mysterious orders fighting for the good of mankind while also being viewed with suspicion, having secret rites/joining rituals, and dying alone while fighting monsters.
The whole Fade thing was the only interesting part of the lor for me
