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 ...

I didn't expect my decisions to actually affect anything when I played it. Big surprise when I just clicked every dialogue option and things went poorly.

You can also load your save file into the second game and have that affect the story in minor ways, which I thought was pretty cool.

And then you can do the same with the third game too. It’s really neat

Yes! I honestly enjoyed it when I tried the last dialog option and NPCs started telling me to 'go plow myself'.
