    What I've learned:
    Geralt likes cards and;
    Salamandra is the largest employer in 1240's.
    I wonder what medieval minimum wage was?

    • @pawnap666
      @pawnap666 4 роки тому +37

      I think she fails though mentioned the biggest point and twist of TW1.
      Alvin saw in Geralt a father figure and whatever you said it to him he would later on use that in his internal logic to justify his actions.
      Reason why witchers were attacked was that because Alvin believed only mutants will be able to lead humaning from white frost so the whole plot and everything happened because alvin was impressed by Geralt logic and reason and he twists it due to his loss of mother and other events into what is plot of TW1.

      Understandable. That was pretty much my first reaction too, but I stuck with it to see where it was going. Witcher 1’s choices barely impact Witcher 2, if you decide to import a save, so you’re not missing much in that regard.
      I compare Witcher 1 to KOTOR 2. Good story, shame about the gameplay. If you can look past it, engaging with the plot can be pretty enjoyable. Of the three games, Witcher 2 is actually the one I have no interest in playing again, just because it feels so much more janky than 1.

    So I just started playing the first Witcher game, for the first time, just wanting to check it out and learn some more about the story after watching some of the Witcher Netflix series, and my god I really appreciate modern games now lol. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for making this! I bet it was a great game during it's time, and still is, but the mechanics are just a little too.... a... dated for me at the moment lol :)

      you have to mod it to make it more playable, its a bit of a slog otherwise.
