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 story is not terrible by itself by any means, the problem is it rehashes some important aspects of the story from the books and does so in a way just doesn't make much sense in context.

Yeah when they made witcher 1 they didnt think it would be part of a series and realy didnt see it as a canon addition to the books story.

It makes the most sense to view the story on its own without the existence of Ciri.
