Play the first one...easily the best RPG I've played so far...can't wait for the 2nd one

I know, I've heard so many good things about it. I just feel like playing the first one this close to the release of the second one will kill the 'new' feel, since I will be essentially playing the same game back to back.

I'll just read the back story on wikipedia or something for Witcher 1, then play through it later after a Steam sale.

Playing through the first game at the moment. Continued a save file I had from over 2 years ago. Surprisingly easy to jump back into.

Sent from space on my IBM 5150.

You can get Witcher 1 EE For $5 when its released on GOG http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_witcher

Currently says $9.99 but for a limited time only it will be $4.99 on the 10th of may till TW2 is released i think

Buy it from there DRM Free and get loads of goodies :3

nope.

You will want to play it, so that you have a save to import, and so that you can experience the epic story.

The combat and everything about the original has been upgraded and changed. The combat and character leveling system has been entire overhauled. The combat is 100% different from the first game.

It is not possible for the new one to play like the first one. You owe it to yourself to play the original RPG of the year before the new RPG of the year comes out.

This company supports and listens to it's fans (more than any other company i've seen), offers free DLC which is actually good and lengthy, etc. They completely re-did the Witcher and then offered it for FREE for anyone who bought the original Witcher. What other company has put that much time and money into a game and then offered it for free?

Support them the most you can, we need more companies like this.


This is the first game in over a year that i've bought at launch price, and i'm not hurting on cash. This is one of the few games that I actually think will be worth the full price.


If you are only going to buy one game this year, make it this one! Don't pirate this, show them that good dedicated PC games can sell well still.

I won't be buying it. I'll play it for 5 hours then quit, given that the 1st 2 hours don't kill me with boredom like all the other rpgs

Based on this I'll probably end up buying the game and seeing how well it turns out. I'm always interested in a good RPG, and I'll show support for people who listen to their customers.
