I played and finished Witcher 2 many times but I never bothered to play Witcher 1 because the combat system was different. Is the combat really bad when compared to Witcher 2? Is that true that most fans consider Witcher 1 better than its sequel?

The combat by far isn't as good, but the story is better (imo) 2 is still brilliant tho.

Agreed. W1 had better story, and was way longer. Worth playing!

There have been so many threads created just to ask this question... and I'll keep answering YES. Yes, you should play The Witcher 1. I liked TW1 a lot more than TW2, and TW2 was damn good as well.

remember to write back about yout thoughts when you finished it ^^

But yeah the combat was different in TW1, more oldschool RPG like, not as fluid, and possible to mess up the character build (which is somewhat a good thing I think).

Garant himself and the story, envioment and interaction are far better though.

So I would have said that you should play it ^^ the others seems to have told you to anyways ^^

I liked the combat in Witcher 1 more myself. Witcher 2 had fantastic graphics and a fantastic story but I just couldn't get itno the combat. Witcher 1 is a great game so I would recommend playing it.

I played TW2 first and then got TW1 to play. But I couldnt' bring myself to progress through it. The combat is so poor and not fun to perform at all.

You should definitely play it, it is a great game. I hated the combat when I first started playing but it grew on me and now I enjoy it.

Yes but do remember, the Witcher 1 is more of an normal RPG, while the Witcher 2 is kinda more of new gen liner rpg.

The story, and atmposhere in the Witcher 1 is just amazing.

W1 had better combat and story, but the sequel improved upon alchemy, magic and inventory (somewhat). Both are great games, but I have to say the first was a little better if you could stand the beginning couple of chapters.

No. Half the quests are boring and the combat is awful.

I had fun with it for about 20 hours or so, then it started to drag on. Just play it for the story.

I actually didn't like TW2 as much as TW1, but I'm in the minority

I preffered the first one, the 2nd was like what Mas Effect 2 was to ME1, still a great game but less RPG and more Action. But The RPG elements lost from TW1 to TW2 are nowhere near as the level of ME1 to ME2, hell, ME2 was barely an RPG , more like a TPS with dialogue choices.

Yes, play it. Horrible combat though and also incredibly easy which is why I also recommend the Full Combat Rebalance Mod. The alchemy is alot of fun to mess with though and with the FCR mod alchemy pretty much becomes a necessity. Witcher 1 is a longer game too though I will say Witcher 2 is an improvement in pretty much ever way including the writing. Just one thing don't complain about the sex cards they really aren't a big deal and Poland isn't as peevish around nudity like us Americans.

Make sure you use the combat mod.
