The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Should I play this
I have it in my library. I have the second witcher game and also the third. Is it worth starting the trilogy from the beginning or does it really matter?

Worth for story but I hear it doesn't really matter which you play first.

Choices carry over to the other games and there are MANY call-backs to this game and the books for that matter. Try it out, if you don't like it then move on to the witcher 2 or 3, they are more refined gameplay wise.

It's worth playing, even not considering the later games.
I'd say start from the beginning, but it does require a fair investment of time. If you skip to the later games, you'll be missing some stuff but won't feel alienated. And since the later games are replayable as well, you could just play them and then do the entire series, if you're eager to play the later ones earlier.

I concur about playing in sequence. It takes a lot of time, but that's why we play these video games, isn't it? Anyway, you get to take some cool armour & weapons over to game 2, if you
play 1 correctly.
I do recommend the "Rise of the white wolf" mod, (among a few others), to enhance gameplay.

You definatley should! I've just started a full playthrouygh of them but have stopped and will restart because I've just got all the books so will read them all first and then go through the games :)

Definitely play the first game. It has a unique combat style (which gets much more fun by end game) and a much better story than the other two games.

Think of other comments like this:

Console kids hate this game.

Old school PC players love it.

There is no auto aiming check pointing QTE stuff here unlike the other two games. This is a proper RPG.
Cant go wrong with Witcher 1. Its a throwback to RPGs of old, and the Enhanced Edition fixed a lot of the annoyances with the original release. Also, if you want any hope of caring about the characters and plot of Witcher 2, Witcher 1 is a necessity.

Incidentally, my wife-in-training is enjoying playing Witcher 1 as we speak! (After 57 years she's
getting pretty good at wifing. Matter of fact, I couldn't ask for better)! Play the game.

Worth it for the story and to get more out of the later games. Feel free to enhance the game with some sweet mods like rise of the white wolf.

If you are ok with old school graphics and play style, it has a pretty good story. Once you get a hang of the combat style it gets much better. The game play can be a bit tedious as the only way to get from A to B is to run, and some of the areas are pretty big. I had fun learning about the lore and all the little details in game, this is what makes it enjoyable for me.

IDK HOW TO ATTACK

Its pretty counterintuitive to what you are used to in most games. Instead of button smashing or constant clicking, you actually start an attack by clicking on an enemy just once, this will start the chain. When the sword indicator flashes with fire, click again, transitioning Gerralt into the next sequence of the attack. As you progress you add more complex manuevers to each fighting style which do more damage. Early game you just repeat the same basic attacks over and over.
The key is the timing, don't click again too early or too late, this will cause Gerralt to stop his attack and then you must start it again, waisting time and opening up to attack.
This was very confusing to me early on and very frustrating as a result. Once you get the hang of it, its a breeze to take down ten drowners all at once.
