Luckily I played it at its peak I beat it in 2022 and man was it an experience. I did absolutely everything in it. After I beat the game I realized a few things. That a lot of quests I did were free updates like the mining quest with the possessed Witcher. The ammount of free updates was actually crazy. They even had a graphics update which I could tell from the start because I played it in 2016 when I borrowed it from a friend. I’m so glad I beat it with all the updates on.

You have to get used to this kind of gameplay.

Finally got used to it and since then I think I finished it 3-4 times and I love it, definitely worth to continue playing.

I back to this game almost everery year, just to once again soak into that dirty, brutal, slvic world full of extremely good writed characters and quests. I see why because of gampley some people can say its ,,hilarious'' nowdays. I play every game of Witcher trilogy several times, and the immersion during W1 is on another level comparable only to orginal books. Games like this or fallout 2 are really underrated beacuse most of players dont even consider them worth playing, they just say nah im out, too outdated gameplay-wise. I wish more players can play and joy old good games.

Yeah, I've got a friend like that. Pretty affluent guy with cutting edge gear, that refuses to play games like W1, original HL or "older" MMOs, f. e. GW2 or classic WoW just because he can't stand the "outdated" graphics and mechanics. I've tried multiple times to change his mind, telling him, that he misses out a lot, but it is to no avail. Pretty much same thing goes for my fiance, when it comes to movies or tv shows, where almost anything older than 15 y. o. is unwatchable to her due to it being drawn or directed poorly. Idk. why ppl draw so much attention to the visual stuff nowadays. It's like they do not care about a valuable overall experience, but want some cheap entertainment provided by vividly colored mess.

I personally disagree. It’s not really reasonable to assume he’s meant to be that ugly when he has so many physical relationships with the most attractive women on the continent. He wouldn’t be that desirable if he was that disgusting. He’s meant to be rough and strange looking, but still attractive in a way. W3 and even W2 captured that pretty well.

Other characters don't look much better except for maybe Shani and Adda :) It's just the level of graphics of that time, but the very idea of depicting him so was true to the books imho.

This didn't look as good or play as good as it's peers but it had * the thing * that makes great things iconic.

Witcher1 is basically a total conversion mod of Neverwinter nights. If you press F1 you can play with a top down view with mouse only just like those older rpgs.

If you didn't know, CD Project Red used Bioware's (the maker of Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KOTOR, Baldur"s Gate 1& 2) engine to make this game, and worked with some members of the Bioware team to get the engine working the way they wanted for this game. If you didn't know Bioware is also known for their choice and storytelling. I say that to suggest that If you haven't played it, you should definitely play Bioware's Mass Effect trilogy. The Legendary Edition is remastered, have an upped resolution & framerate, quality of life improvements, and all 3 games and dlc (Bioware probably has the 2nd best dlc made, only 2nd to CD Project Red) are together, as your 1 character and decisions go across all 3 games. Mass Effect 1 came out the same year as this, 2007, so even though they made it look better, they couldn't change some of the U.I. gameplay stuff, so it feels like a 2010 game aspects, but it's still really good and is easier to play and revisit than Witcher 1 without mods. Also, if you want more CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077 with the Phantom Liberty dlc is amazing.

Not sure if you figured it out yet (I paid only half attention to the video as I was playing games myself), but when fighting you have to click with left button at the moment when this fire around mouse cursor appears. In order to do combo hits, if you click too early it cancels previous attack and starts the attack from scratch. (Edit: also if your attacks fail at the beginning of the animation often then it might mean that you have wrong style active)

The combat is easy once you figure it out. Just click at the right times, instead of spamming. It really plays more like a classic RPG, so to hit chance and dodge are all stats and dice rolls.

world design wise it's on par with w2/w3 if not better at some aspects, atmosphere and music are unparalleled. writing and quests wise it's effectively the same too. the weakest part is english vo specifically. there's some other jank too which is expected from the first game of a small new studio with no prior experience. now, combat. the thing is it's not about aging well or badly - this combat system was different even on release, it was an experiment, and some people we unhappy even back then. it's not bad per ce, it's rather more rpgey rather than actiony, you don't need that much skill or reaction and concentration, it relies heavily on leveling your character, on gear and alchemy. so there's that. you know what games had similar problem? morrowind and kcd - both very popular and beloved games. the witcher 1 is in that same category - it's a great game, but maybe it's not for everyone. and if it's not for you (not you literally) then it's your own loss. iwatched alot of playthroughs over the years and i mean it's about the player - if they're open minded enough to make it work it's completely and totally worth it.

It’s also the closest to book Geralt we ever get. It’s a shame they really pulled back on Geralts dialogue by Witcher 3. He’s constantly talking in the books.

About Geralt being hideous, I think his look here is more accurate than the super model Hollywood Geralt we got in TW3. In the books, he is said to look a little unsettling, so that works ! I hope that when the remaster comes, they keep this more rugged and book accurate look to him.

I get this somewhat, but at the same time.. I think it’s a tad bit silly to suggest Geralt isn’t meant to be attractive. The books don’t go into INCREDIBLE detail on his physical appearance other than him having white hair, scarred, rugged, snake eyes, pale. He’s consistently having physical relationships with the most beautiful women on the continent, sorceresses, so to suggest he’s some hideous creature just seems a little far fetched. I personally feel W3 is the most accurate depiction. Rugged and scary, but yet still attractive.

​@@IAmRobPlays He had not so many physical realtions with women in books as games try to make us believe :) I could actually count them with fingers on my hands: Yennefer, Tris (not during events in books), Essi, Fringilla, priestess Iola, one of Zerrikan warriors (unknown which one of two), Shani (1 time), and Lytta Neyd aka ‘Coral’ (in ‘Season of Storms’ spin-off). It's eight books and god knows how many decades. It doesn't look like he's Casanunda of that world :) And, well, those women were attracted to him not because of his cuteness, but because of who he was.

⁠@@IAmRobPlays geralt IS attractive, but not based on his looks, he is a genuine, professional, educated guy who can hold a philosophical conversation and is amazing with a sword. He is literally described in the books as having an ugly smile/grin ans being shocked at his own face. Plus he is very pale. Another more book accurate part is the open hair, lack of a beard and the way geralt talks in the first game. U can technically change the hair and beard to be book accurate in the later games but its not how cdpr present him by default and his dialogue gets a lot less book geralty too (in my opinion at least). I dont think w1 geralt is so hideous to not pull girls with all his other very attractive attributes. My source: i am a woman. He looks way too beautiful in 2&3. its okay to prefer it but sapkowski does repeatedly describe him as unpleasant looking and with physical characteristics not usually regarded as beautiful. Hes also a lot more muscular looking in esp witcher 3 than he is every explicitly described as in the books. Some of w1 uglyness does come down to the awkward model (i personally adore the graphics but the characters r the roughest part), if they kept his face like this but just upgraded the graphics u wouldnt call him hideous 🤷‍♀️ there is a reason a lot of ppl in the comments claim the same thing abt geralts looks - also we all know cdpr took some creative liberties with the book characters since triss got that ridiculous orange hair in 3 when she is described to have chestnut hair in the books…

Actually I modded witcher 3 to have geralt look more like this. I really hope they don't butcher the remake. Best music of all 3 games. Back in the days, the atmosphere was quite unique. And you are guilty of making me play witcher 3 again BTW. Thank you

Witcher 1 feels very dated and jank imo. I played it on release and it's not aged well. Witcher 2 ass ass in kings however has aged wonderfully and you can see cdpr growing into their boots.

Once you get used to the combat system and the jank, the character models and the bad to non-existent animations, this is actually a great game. Its narrative is pretty clean, its soundtrack is the best in the series (love the witcher 3's music but I like this more) and I think its world has the perfect size for its story. While I like the open world of 3 and its towns and villages are beautiful, they feel more surface level than Vizima in 1. Novigrad is impressive but most of it is just empty space gameplay-wise. Witcher 1's limited space makes it feel more significant. You actually have time to get to know the places and notice when things change and every little nook and cranny seems to be utilized at least once in the story. It's more Majora's Mask's Clock Town while the Witcher 3 is closer to Breath of the Wild. I hope the remake doesn't go too big. No bigger than Toussaint, max. Less space, more depth.

People who do not play the entire saga miss out SO FUCKIN MUCH. It's insane. It's like watching just a final episode of a show. Most people don't know shit of what is going on well until deep into the game, and you miss so many details and references.

The voice actors get better in Witcher 2, but you can tell everyone are noobs in this one. Thronebreaker is great with voice and music.
