The Witcher 3--Just One More Day!

I've already done my pre-loading and am anxiously awaiting the release of The Witcher 3 tomorrow.  I know that it was released early in Europe and have been avoiding any information related to the game.  No review or videos of quests or gameplay.  I'm holding out and hoping that this is the best Witcher game yet.  A few hours ago another trailer was released--this one notably featuring Ciri--that also shows a large number of familiar and new characters and creatures.  I especially enjoyed the short clip that shows Ciri training with Geralt at Kaer Mohren.  Check it out:



In the meantime I am still vacillating between Diablo III and Dragon Age:  Origins.  I haven't managed to find anymore mooing mayhem in Diablo despite my best efforts.  My barbarian has had some fairly good luck with blood shards and has managed to piece together a decent ensemble.  I'm contemplating giving it a few more goes in the hope of finding a cow portal--which I'm not even sure really exists.

Oddly, I've been really enjoying my current playthrough of Dragon Age:  Origins.  The only thing I'm not enjoying is my class choice--I've decided I don't like playing an archer.  Mage is alright, but archers seem to have pretty pointless abilities.  I do like that I made my archer a ranger and can summon random animals to fight at my side.  I've always liked the characters, the story, and the locations in Origins.  All the races (with the exception of the Qunari, who get quite a bit of attention in Dragon Age II) are featured and you get a chance to experience the culture and issues of each race.

I'm going to enjoy my current fascination with Origins while I can because once The Witcher 3 comes out it'll be awhile until I return to Ferelden to finish my adventures as an elven archer.
