Ancient-Red-Dragon: Witcher 1 is great and the best one of the three, and also the only one that lets you be with many women and collect artful cards of them.
TheDudeLebowski: OK, so down to personal taste then.
Definitely personal taste.
However, it suffers with telling a story that makes no sense to an outsider with an aged battle system (very similar the Summoner's) and slow pacing.
I've wanted to go back to it now that I understand the characters and setting and factions better. But I was utterly list when I played it.
I was lost in Witcher 2 also, but when u started it the second time, it made sense. It may be the fact that sometimes I don't pay good attention to dialog when I'm in certain moods.
Anyway, most say Witcher 3 is the best, some say it's the best game ever made. I'd have to agree that it's spectacular. But I also looked Witcher 2 really good, too, and possibly even more.
Witcher is a good one to play.
