If you’re planning on continuing this, I recommend the Rise of the White Wolf mod. It redefines the UI and HUD, it’s a bit cleaner, some character faces and outfits are fixed. Overall QOL improvements.
This is a good game for its time. I think that potions system is even better than in witcher 3. Cool music, too. I highly recommend that you do not spam the left click in fights. If you clicked once -> you will attack in 100% of cases, but if you clicked again, you cancel both, and you hit goes on cd 😅. Hope to see the full play through. Your witcher 3 gameplay was the best. Keep it up, and thank you!
I love this game. In some ways I love it more than the other two, but I guess is also the nostalgia talking since it was my first RPG game and my introduction to The Witcher when I was 13. I feel like this one is the deepest of all 3 and the one that feels the most like an RPG. Also is FULL of book references
"I love it more than the other two" this!! It was also my first rpg.. I played it in 2020, when I was 30 years old. Still I like this game more than the other two.
You have to get used to this kind of gameplay. The first time I tried it I hated fighting and stopped playing after the intro mission, but I gave it a chance again after some time because I loved the books so much and I wanted to spend time in this world. 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.
1) They have the same voice actors just for the Triss voice is different in Witcher 1 2) Leo is a beginner Witcher and you can find his grave in Witcher 3
For me Witcher 1 story is way better than W2 and W3 I finish it 5 times good game for me fighting isnt that bad after few hours i can't wait for the Remake
@honzawalczysko4666 it just sucks that my expectations got set high when people kept telling me the writing and story were better than 2 and 3. Maybe in Polish it's better but the English game is like a B tier 90s movie
Brother, I bought a new PC in 2008 to play this game. Spent entire night playing, then had to go to work at 8:00 to teach kids. Definitely one of the worst days at work in my life, but was damn well worth it.
@@xAvanirx I’ve beaten it twice probably put about 160 hours in. Great game and probably comes the closest to filling TW3 void but still not quite it for me. I think not having the cutscenes directed is a factor I wish they kept for cyberpunk and I just think the world of TW3 was richer than Cyberpunk. Great game though
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.
I would strongly recommend doing all the content in The Witcher 3, just like you I started the platinum although I've already played the game 4-5 times and I've decided I would do EVERY inch of content (except skellige underwater treasures), and it's been a fucking blast. So many good sidequests and contracts I never did or random encounters I never knew existed.
And here I am, thinking that I am past religiously following a man's playthrough. Haha. Good job on taking up this one. After you have finished Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 (both good games with good stories, I like Witcher 2 even more that this one btw, and it is a shortest one of the trilogy), I hope you will not abandon the idea of playing New Game+ of Witcher 3.
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.
Oh wow, I didn't expect that 😂To be honest, The Witcher 3 is one of the best games of all time, but the first one has an unmatched sentimental value to me. I played it when I was 11 or so, over and over again, and it's mindblowing to think the combat mechanic and graphics were not an issue back then. Now it looks like a horror game 😅 I can only imagine how much of a generational jump it is to someone playing it now, especially fresh after finishing TW3, but give it a chance. It has its charms. Atmosphere for one.
Watching you do multiple clicks and cancelling your own attacks in the beginning was painful haha. Witcher 1 combat is simply a simplified rhythm mini game, that's all!
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.
@IAmRobPlays I'm afraid to tell you that looks aren't everything. So many people which are considered ugly, or at least not good looking by most people get beautiful women thanks to their other qualities, charisma, high intellect, money, power...
Tbh the difficult part is only KM part. It's the moment to get used to the mechanics we're not used to anymore. The village and Visima part is really easy. At least it was for me. And after changing options you need to accept it ^^
You should really play and finish all 3 of them they are so fun. My ranking of the Witcher games is Witcher 3, Witcher and last but not least Witcher 2
BTW, The Enhanced Edition is WAAAAY better than the original release, I have it on disk somewhere, and it was TERRIBLE, the writing was ass, because it was badly translated from Polish, they had to rerecord most of the dialogue for the Enhanced Edition, they also fixed a lot of bugs, added QoL features, and improved the graphics.
The hair flickering is a glitch😂 You need to go into Nvidia control panel, add Witcher to 3d program settings and turn V-sync On and set a max frame rate limit
I know it's difficult to play since they had way less budget and it was one of their first games but like any RPG I would say to try and play a few hours to see if there's anything that can make you interested in playing it to the end
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.
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
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.
IMO Witcher 1 is the best game out of three in terms of atmosphere and plot, but lacks in gameplay in many parts (still better than witcher 2, which i wholeheartedly despise for horrible gameplay). Btw coombat becomes hilarious when you get to high levels in first witcher 1, especially against many enemies
I definitely believe Marigold and Lambert slept together. During the drinking game, Gerald said I never jumped out a lover‘s window and Lambert drank n said he doesn’t want to hurt his friend 😂 46:05
Gameplay has not aged well but in terms of quality overall for me this is still the best Witcher game. Yes, graphics have aged, but its 17y old and it still has nice art style and atmosphere. Itemization and alchemy are best implied system in any RPG. There are very few items, but they do count and make a difference. There is none of those mmo stuff where you carry 10 armors and find a magic sword behind every corner that is useless junk when you level up. It feels the most like you play as a Witcher because on highest difficulty you need alchemy to survive, unlike in other 2 games where you can ignore it and sword through everything. Worst thing in this game is too much backtracking that becomes a chore, especially in chapter 2
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.
I played all the Witcher games when they came, and yeah i imagine it would be super hard to play this in 2024 especially after finishing W3. The game is a bit janky, fighting and moving mechanics are terrible. After a few hours you get used to switching between fighting styles and timing combos but it's repetitive and boring... The other side is what most of the people here wrote, amazing soundtrack, atmosphere and story!
Yeah now you know why they decided to do a remake lol, the first game has aged like a glass of milk on a hot summer day in a lot of aspects. But if you really want more Witcher, the second game actually aged relatively well, still rough ngl but a lot more enjoyable in my opinion
Hair "physics" like other wiggling stuff gets crazy on a newer systems. I've beaten the game before 2010y, with a kinda accurate time-aged PC for this game - and there's nothing like that happening in the game in back in the day. The click combat system is very simple. And for changing stance you can a press one button (i think it's a strength stance button) just press it multiple times and it will jump through different stances. Mouse in the games it's a gift from gods, not these goddamn lazy ass - sticks. I don't understand complaining about mouse + keyboard, it's obviously have more precise control of a camera, dooooood. They (early cdpr) probably took inspiration from the Gothic 1/2 games, cuz in the witcher 1 - you will get a new animation of the attacks when you upgrade the combat points after lvl ups like in the Gothic games ones. But if you can't hande it - don't push yourself.
Witcher 1 is being remade right now. I'd probably wait till it comes out. At that time it was CDPR biggest game and in 2007 this was almost peak gaming. It's chunky now and graphics got old, storyline is still as good as the other Witchers though. Worth mentioning the game was done on already old Neverwinter Nights engine so that's why the combat is the way it is, simply couldn't look different. Also it was CDPR biggest title and they were in a hurry to publish it as the company was in financial trouble. It saved the company and elevated it to what you can see today. After that they made new engine for Witcher 2 and it's way more similar to Witcher 3 than 1.
In the first game you can feel Slavic/Polish atmosphere the most.
Yeah I'm polish and if someone asked me to show "polish-feeling" game it's Witcher 1 and only then Witcher 3
The atmosphere in W1 is impeccable.
If you’re planning on continuing this, I recommend the Rise of the White Wolf mod.
It redefines the UI and HUD, it’s a bit cleaner, some character faces and outfits are fixed.
Overall QOL improvements.
hope we'll finally get remake of this game.
You're right, its first CD Projekt Red game and at that time it was mostly to polish gamers because witcher wasnt so popular all over the world
there's another infamous neighbouring country where it is as popular.
I played it as a kid in Russia, I think the fame of Geralt of Rivia went well beyond Poland into all former USSR republics. Andrzej Sapkowski 🤩
Ofc you're both right, in Eastern Europe Witcher 1 was also popular
So the narrorator is actually an old Dandelion, no one else could tell the many adventures of Geralt like Dandelion can.
Yaay, hope we get a full playthrough!
This is a good game for its time. I think that potions system is even better than in witcher 3. Cool music, too.

This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Thank you very much for trying it! Hope you’ll like it ;)
Cried laughing when the first wave of bandits showed up 😂please do the whole game this is amazing
Honestly playing all the games beginning to end makes the end of the Blood and Wine dlc hit so much a harder. Hope you continue to play this Rob.
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.

Fun fact: the game was made on 'Dragon Age' (Bioware's) engine
Actually Witcher 1 uses a heavily modified Aurora Engine that was used by Bioware in Neverwinter Nights (2002). Dragon Age used Eclipse Engine.

Witcher 1 you can see Geralt drinking the potion.

Sad part about Witcher 1 is that it gets good after completing the first chapter
Before that the game seems very stupid hahahaha
Day 3 of requesting Rob to play Cyberpunk 2077
I got you soon Philip!
Witcher 1 is being remade right now. I'd probably wait till it comes out. At that time it was CDPR biggest game and in 2007 this was almost peak gaming. It's chunky now and graphics got old, storyline is still as good as the other Witchers though. Worth mentioning the game was done on already old Neverwinter Nights engine so that's why the combat is the way it is, simply couldn't look different. Also it was CDPR biggest title and they were in a hurry to publish it as the company was in financial trouble. It saved the company and elevated it to what you can see today. After that they made new engine for Witcher 2 and it's way more similar to Witcher 3 than 1.
jank but great
tray play 60 hrz
play on hard this game is easy as hell
This is old game.
My dude PLEAAAASSSSEEEE play baldurs gate 3. the only game that grabbed my after Witcher 3
Brother dont play it now, CD projekt will make Remake it will relase in 2027. You will regret it.
I tried this game but stopped very quickly. The combat is just not my style compared to the other 2 games.
Imagine asking why they made Gerald so ugly after claiming to have read all the books.. it’s literally cannon, the Gerald from witcher 3 is a joke
