    I recommend playing them in order, you can Import your save file from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3, carrying over narrative choices you’ve made. Also you get really good (and well earned) starting gear if you import the save.

    The first one, while being ultra mega jank has some of the best writing out of any game I evet played. Choices really matter in this game and the game really respects your time for doing your homework whether it be monster hunting or investigations. It has more than the usually bad side, good side choice, characters can die because of your decisions (or even lack of). If you can see past babies first attempt of a combat system, the first Witcher game is amazing.

      I agree with this. Witcher 1’s combat mechanics are arcane enough to make the game frustrating, but the story is worth experiencing. After a couple of attempts to power through it, I used a godmode cheat and had much more fun playing.
