Steam had the entire Witcher series on sale for a few dollars. I bought everything for the first 3 games.

There was some discussion of it at the time, and folks seem to agree that the first one in the series sucks hard.
As that seemed to be the worst plan, I went with it.

Yes. "It's rough." I guess the engine and content have gotten some backports and extensions. I'm not sure if you could ~~play other characters besides Geralt before, but now you can~~. (EDIT ... Sorry, this seems to be BS. My bad.) They updated the graphics a lot. Its not great, but I think they fixed most of the really bad problems.

I don't know about the story. Seems pretty awful. Awkward acting. Its been fun just trying to play the damn thing.

Um ... I sort of like it. Gonna play some more now ...

I tried playing the 3rd one and I really couldn't get past Geralt's voice and voice acting. I couldn't stand it. Probably just me though.

Set the voice to Polish.

I will try this. I'm playing one of the extra adventures, and the voices don't fire for some reason. Its an improvement, so putting the main game on Polish might work well.

That actually sounds like a good idea. As a half Pole I'd probably enjoy that
