Steam had the entire Witcher series on sale for a few dollars. I bought everything for the first 3 games.

There was some discussion of it at the time, and folks seem to agree that the first one in the series sucks hard.
As that seemed to be the worst plan, I went with it.

Yes. “It’s rough.” I guess the engine and content have gotten some backports and extensions. I’m not sure if you could play other characters besides Geralt before, but now you can. (EDIT … Sorry, this seems to be BS. My bad.) They updated the graphics a lot. Its not great, but I think they fixed most of the really bad problems.

I don’t know about the story. Seems pretty awful. Awkward acting. Its been fun just trying to play the damn thing.

Um … I sort of like it. Gonna play some more now …

    The acting isn’t awkward in polish. Shit’s funny as hell sometimes, Talar gets quoted regularly by people who have played it

        What you need to understand is that cdprojekt was basically a barely functioning, very new studio over 20 years ago when they made the first Witcher. Foreign markets weren’t a focus. The game was made with Poland in mind - especially because nobody outside of Poland even heard of the Witcher then. In Poland, it was the best selling game of all time when it came out. That’s why the acting is wooden in english - it just isn’t the market it was made for.

          Ok, I had inferred as much from the recomendation itself.
          I’ll try it.
