>I wanna start from part one for chronology and shit
>ten hours in, game sequence-breaks itself on a regular basis, has terrible combat and menus, awful quests
Should I just jump to Witcher 2? I'm sure it's much more polished(get it? wow) and shit

Get to like Act 3 and call me back
>>344510149
It's worth finishing.

i skipped to 3 without playing 1&2 or reading any of the books. enjoying it and not hugely lost on plot shit.would def be better if I had known all these characters but whatever
if you're sick of w1 being dick mechanically then skip to 2
witcher series is invariably shit
>>344510149
witcher 2 is the worst in the series
>>344510149
Wow, Geralt in first game looks like Lambert in third one.

>Should I just jump to Witcher 2?
No. The sequels are fucking consolized shit compared to TW1.
TW1 was goddamn AMAZING, and actual PC RPG.
To be honest, if you read the books and jump straight to 3 you will get much more out of it than someone who just played the previous games. They don't really matter and only a handful of characters from previous games are in.
That being said I really enjoyed Witcher 1 so maybe you should give it another chance.

oh boy you're in for a surprise
I enjoyed 1 a lot, but hated 2. Characters and story felt so drastically different, it was ugly and combat was still shit, it just took much longer and was easier to die so it was more tedious.

Here we go again
Witcher 2 wasn't even remotely designed for consoles. The Xbox 360 version is fucking horrendous
>>344512980
Oh and the menus are shocking in 2. You see about 6 items per screen and have to scroll through around 100.

>Witcher 2 wasn't even remotely designed for consoles
In other words the UI is irredeemably shit for no reason.
Witcher 2 is better as a game, if that matters to you then sure.

IMO niewiele stracisz jak ominiesz ale warto przejść. 2 i 3 są mało związane z 1.
