![]() CDPR was a new company and were experimenting a lot so the games aren't great at continuity. This comment have been mostly since it's my fav franchise but I have to mention that unlike something like Mass Effect, don't expect a "complete" story through the whole trilogy. in most games romance quests are usually just helping you partner but the one in Witcher 3 is about confirming your love for your old partner which has very little impact if you don't know how their relationship started. As before you can play just the games but the whole experience wouldn't be complete if you don't know the stories from the books. Geralt now has all his memories back and he reconnects with his past friends and lover again. The "plot" is just finding your long lost adopted daughter but the focus is on the smaller stories (you could call them sub arcs) you find on that journey. Unlike the 1st game, if you don't mind reading books, I'd highly recommend reading the book series before playing this one.įinally we come to witcher 3 and this game is a journey. It's less about a complete story and more about Geralt finally learning his place in this world. ![]() You dive head first into the dirty politics and bigotry that permeate through every facet of the world. Witcher 2 is about the state of the world more than anything. It's self contained as Geralt is still getting his memories back. In Witcher 1 Geralt has amnesia so very little attachment to the world, thus the story is a well rounded traditional dark fantasy story. Thing is all 3 games have a different type of story. The paper-rock-scissors approach gives more emphasis on the atmosphere which I really like for this game and I wouldn't like it any other way, it's one of the charms of the game IMO. While I will agree that the combat in W1 is not good, it's not terrible either. Potions is a huge portion of what makes you stronger than other humans so you have to choose it carefully according to your build as well. Oils make the fights so much easier to deal with it that playing it on Hard (which is recommended) they are mandatory. A good example is alchemy, the game is really around what potions and oils you use but in Witcher 2 and 3, besides the healing potions you can essentially ignore alchemy if you wish. The combat stance is the main thing about it, but using the correct signs in battle is also encouraged. Most games nowadays gives more flexibility in how you play so its more of a "culture shock" if anything. The game forces you to use Paper or Rock in some situations. If you try to use Scissors to beat Rock you're going to get smashed every time. I think what most people don't like about W1 is the very old RPG approach of paper-rock-scissors.
