Been playing through the Witcher 1 again and despite the pisspoor combat, I still love it. The music, atmosphere, and world is really wonderful and the fishpeople island is /comfy/ness perfected. Probably gonna speed through Witcher 2 since that game is kinda ass.
Reminder the Knights of the Flaming Rose did literally nothing wrong and Siegfried is highlevel bro-tier.

The Witcher 1 was basically Comfy: The Game. It's a shame they didn't manage to retain that in later entries.

You want me to spray my mind diarrhea at you? Ok. Triss is pretty damn sexy but she's just not my type. No matter what I would friendzone that bitch. Yennifer is where it's at. Kiera Metz is attractive in a traditional housewife kind of way. Ciri is a god damn barbarian, she'd probably rape you before you could get the chance to say no.

The sequels went for grimdark (two overdoing it and fucking up, three toning it down) instead of cozy fantasy monster-slaying like one, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I prefer the comfyness of 1.

Siegfried is the ultimate fucking bro, even more of a bro than zoltan and dandelion tbh, neither of them do much except talk about the shit geralt does, whereas Siegfried fucking stands by Geralt if Geralt stands by Siegfried. It's even panned in the game that if you deign to stray away from Siegfrieds brotherliness and join yaevinn and those other faggot elves, that you are essentially denouncing Siegfried as the ultimate bro. You might as well fucking team up with jacques de aldesberg than yaevinn.

>Puts a good word for you with other Order members
>Helps you assault Salamandra despite fighting Salmandra not being a concern of the Order at the time
>Years later helps you into Loc Muinne

Filthy dumb elven scum. I posted this once before and I'll post it again. Siegfried was my main motivation for siding with the Knights rather than choosing neutrality. How can anyone hate this man? He might be the most altruistic person in the franchise and he does it without approaching Gary Stue territory. He had every right intention and every time he's given the chance he put faith in Geralt and I could never let him down.

The Witcher 1 is weirdly paced.
It starts off with a big-siege battle, goes to the outskirts where you get the basics of the core gameplay, takes you on a murder mystery tour where you play detective, bogs you down in the swamp for way too long, but eventually you get to Chapter 4 and reach comfy levels that have never been seen before.
I could easily settle in a place like the lake town, doing basic farming and taking the odd contract on what wight or beast was causing trouble.
Then you have to go back to Vizima and that's no fun at all.

Without spoiling anything, is it possible to go through all of the Witcher 1 without having sex? Am I missing out on anything if I do this? I just finished the tutorial level, and I was very confused when Triss wanted to sleep with me. It felt strange since I really hadn't done anything yet. I know that Geralt has amnesia, and it's meant to be the case that he already knows her, but it still doesn't sit right with me.
I just got to the outskirts of Vizima, and I have a feeling that the girl you see when you first get there is also going to want to sleep with me. I'm afraid this is going to be a reoccurring thing throughout the game, where there are just tonnes of girls wanting to have sex with me without having to put any effort in. Just feels strange, and makes me really want to aim for a chastity play-through.
Is this how it feels to be Chad?

Witcher 1 is my favorite of the series. The atmosphere is superior to the sequels. It's comfy for the most part and a great story.
While I enjoy the main quest in W2, the combat and most sidequests make it almost unbearable to play. When replaying 1 and 2 before playing 3, I couldn't even bother to push past the second act.
The Witcher 3 is a rather impressive game in terms of its scale and amount of content. The combat is better than the second game but far from being good. It has a good mix of comfy and edge but the main quest is truly terrible, especially the third act. This kind of grand-scale story doesn't suit the Witcher, which is why the Heart of Stone expansion is vastly superior to the main game. If the whole game was more like that expansion, it would probably be the best game in the series but alas, it isn't.
>>14999561
>filthy, selfish, sorceress
I just realized that all of geralt's choices in the third game are filthy sorceresses. Why? Shani is pretty alright, although she seems like a slut but maybe that's just because she likes Geralt so much.
Kiera has great looks though.

Anon, I can't help but feel like you haven't finished the game. This is exactly the same stuff I thought back when I first tried it for 20 minutes years ago. The combat, while far from amazing, actually comes together, especially once you get into alchemy. This is something where I think the sequels dropped the ball. It's the only game where I felt like I was playing a mutat witcher, consuming all sorts of potions and such. The sequels had more of a "pick your poison for gameplay" approach instead of requiring the full arsenal a witcher has.
I don't know why you'd claim the story isn't good though.

It might not have been the best, but the idea of using different styles for different types of enemies/encounters was a great mechanic, and it saddened me deeply, that instead of expanding on it, they dropped it completely with the sequel. Instead of the combat being more tactical(choose weapon, style, can't spam left click), like with the first game, the second one, went for too much action, sure you still picked the weapon(though I think the game automatically made Geralt pick the right weapon at the start of an encounter) and could use potions and traps, but the fighting was too action-focused.

There is more to it than that. It works a bit like a turn based game and you have to use the right stance magic and/ or potion. It's far from perfect but I believe you're not giving it enough credit. A real-time action combat system with some of those mechanics would be pretty great. Nioh has something like that and is supposedly excellent.

Funny thing is that is more in line with some of the books. Shit like Nivellens story or the Stegobor/EclipseBitch are about the same scale as B&W and HoS. Have it with Geralt doing short stories with a bit of thin glue inbetween and it'd be set. Shame that at a minimum, W4 is going to be out ~2027 if they take 6yrs after CP2077 again to do it
>>15006741
I take yo on that one; it has no impact on the wider world.
W1 has you sort the Order out+decide Addas fate; W2 is basically 'A Witchers Introductory Guide to Geopolitics' and W3 at the minimum dictates who wins the 3rd War and Ruler of Skellige. At the end of the day; your actions really do not mean fuck all on a larger scale outside of Touissant

The potential final boss was great too. I think its safe to say that W3 was a bit rushed, which is why the main quest falls apart.
