  • In case you've never played the Witcher 1 and really can't be bothered but you WOULD like to know what happened before you jump into the Witcher 2 or Witcher 3, here's a video.
    Yes it's a bit of a joke but also you do get the whole story. Avallac'h with sunglasses is now canon lore by the way.

      In reality I am not sure what to do with breath and I don't want to be a pain in the end will only bring us to the noise of your profound and spiritual life that you can be different from the past and you have to be careful about what you do and how you can be successful in your life.

    What I've learned:

    • @pawnap666
      @pawnap666 4 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      I think she fails though mentioned the biggest point and twist of TW1.
      Alvin saw in Geralt a father figure and whatever you said it to him he would later on use that in his internal logic to justify his actions.
      Reason why witchers were attacked was that because Alvin believed only mutants will be able to lead humaning from white frost so the whole plot and everything happened because alvin was impressed by Geralt logic and reason and he twists it due to his loss of mother and other events into what is plot of TW1.

      Understandable. That was pretty much my first reaction too, but I stuck with it to see where it was going. Witcher 1’s choices barely impact Witcher 2, if you decide to import a save, so you’re not missing much in that regard.
      I compare Witcher 1 to KOTOR 2. Good story, shame about the gameplay. If you can look past it, engaging with the plot can be pretty enjoyable. Of the three games, Witcher 2 is actually the one I have no interest in playing again, just because it feels so much more janky than 1.

    Saw the Witcher 2 story video first, but it's just as good. Now I may need to play the first one again on GoG. :D
