start dropping suggestions for future topics, put them in spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions
making this one early cuz the last one was such a shutout Previous results: 1) Strongest non-Noble Niner: Zelda (Tifa, Squall, Bowser) 2) Weakest Noble Niner: Sonic (Crono, Sephiroth, Mega Man) 3) Fodder Line: Vyse (Isaac, Pac-Man, Revolver Ocelot) --- (|| ' ' ||) Best.

when I first thought of this topic "Witcher" popped into my head
which i immediately felt was wrong but Witcher 3 might be strong enough now that it carries the franchise on its back. If we had Best Series II I wonder how it would do with the other two games weighing Witcher 3 down 2 is good but it's not held in the same high regard as 3 and 1 has not aged well on top of not being more than "pretty good" upon release --- (|| ' ' ||) Best.

Witcher
Yah obviously it only has one game worth a damn, but that game is rubbing shoulders with elite Nintendo and Square.

The only Fallout games worth anything are 3 and New Vegas. Witcher 1 & 2 would flop so hard Halo craps the bed pretty regularly And Skyrim didn't look great this contest.

Mass Effect. In a games contest you can argue some others, probably (although MoogleKupo141 makes a good point about ME having more depth), but in a character contest? How many other western series have gotten more than 2 characters into a contest?

And Skyrim didn't look great this contest. So I'd expect Oblivion and Morrowind to be even weaker now.On a mano-a-mano basis, Elder Scrolls beats Mass Effect every single time, with Skyrim > ME2, Oblivion > ME1, and Morrowind > ME3. Plus, the other games in each franchise actually matter in this comparison, thanks to Andromeda turning the ME brand name into dirt. A character comparison would obviously be a different story, because Mass Effect is infinitely more character-focused, but Shepard only looked a little better than Dragonborn last contest. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." azuarc won the 2020 Guru Contest because he avoided picking rashly. ...

Witcher. Think it would beat any other Western series in a Series contest just because its baggage is just "early game jank" and not "the fanbase actively is divided/hates it".

This is actually a fair point of view, while 1 didn't age well you dont see the Witcher fanbase having civil wars about it, the most controversy I have ever seen was a few people not liking the netflix show and being told to shut up Way better tha people actively wanting to kick Todd Howard in the dick or sending ironic cupcakes to bioware to protest the bad ME3 ending --- (|| ' ' ||) Best.

I think Witchers baggage is actually only one of the games is worth anything on this site Fallout and Mass effect may have some negative reactions, but they still managed to get two games into GotD.

Mass Effect has had more success than Grand Theft Auto ever has, so no, they aren't comparable.

This is true! It is in the top ten for total votes for a series, too.
But the point was that if we're talking about "strongest series," it needs to be more than just one or two good ones. --- Me reading azuarc just won the Guru: http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/080/145/638.png https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq ... Copied to Clipboard!

I will say also, GTA probably was the strongest western series for the first era of contests. III, Vice City, and San Andreas all finished at least top two in their GotY polls with San Andreas winning, beating some major contenders along the way, and Vice City looked like a monster in 2004. If we went over time it probably looks something like this:
2002-2006: GTA 2007: Halo (Believe) 2008-2010: This is a mess, one of CoD, Half-Life or Fallout 2011-present: Elder Scrolls I think it was a combination of GTA fatigue and IV leading to some of the anti-voting GTA gets now. --- I just decided to change this sig.

Yeah, GTA was legit in the early years. When the demographics shifted in 2005, GTA started going downhill. I don't know if I'd agree that GTA was stronger than Halo in 2005 or 2006. GTA lost to Warcraft in the Series Contest in 2006, after all.
