Well, after reading while you guys discussed it I became interested, so I bought it, with all DLC during the autumn sale. I also have tHCotW with all DLC.
So far, so good. I don't see one as better than the other. They're similar, but different. There are things that I like in both. If you could combine the best of both, you'd really have something.
Anyway, I'm glad that I own both, and I'll play each title as I feel moved at the time. They're both good.
