Good writing, bad gameplay
The writing in this game is fantastic. W3 was my entry to the series, then I read the books and am now playing through the games. W1 has a fantastic plot and good characters, but isn't as moving as some of the moments in W3. My biggest issue with the game is the combat. Real-time with pause combat was always bad and I will die on that hill, and taking a combat engine designed for that system, then manipulating it to appear like an action game led to taking damage without the enemy making an animation, overlapping status effects (knocked down and doing a dodge at the same time), and an overall unenjoyable experience. I played the game on hard to make sure I stayed engaged, but if you are new to the series and wanting to try this game out, play it on whatever difficulty will keep you interested and do all of the story content that you can until the gameplay enrages you.
