Yes.

Loved W1, didn't even bother finishing W3

W1 is fantastic, you just have to give it a real chance

You download it from GOG and start playing.

The first game's play was a decent diablo clone and the narrative grinds to a halt occasionally. It was the second game that has aged poorly.

It was always kinda clunky and it obviously doesn't have as high production values, but it has a number of truly outstanding qualities such as music and atmosphere, and generally displays the kind of design that many people find more agreeable (it actually feels like a proper RPG rather than a well-made but ultimately kinda generic AAA game complete with bamham vision and other shit).

Many people (myself included) actually like the original better. An often recommended practise is to play until the finale of the first act and if that seems interesting, play it to the finish. The story picks up in Act 2 although it has major pacing issues, but those get better in Act 3 and Acts 4 and 5 are universally considered to be by far the best and having shilled TW1 a lot, I've never seen anyone who played up to that point (whether or not they loved the game from the very beginning or struggled a bit) and not liked the game in the end.

This
It's the first game of a studio which haven't made a game before in a country that isn't really known for making them. At the time when it was made, it was pretty badly optimized and needed a lot of polish, they then made the enhanced version and the game became a success partly because of it, and is shsowed that they had the ingredients to create a good rpg with a lore that's pretty grim compared to a lot of the stuff at the time, before Game of thrones and stuff like that become such a mainstream thing. It was ahead of its time in terms of a lot of things.

But the atmosphere of that game is incredible. Only few games manage to capture the feel playing this game have. It has the kind of problems a budget game like this have, and it struggles sometimes to get the narrative part going, as has been noted. But it feels the most like how the shortstories that Sapkowski wrote do, and I always thought those were the most interesting parts of his writing within the book series.

But I played Witcher 1, it's many years ago, but I did. I am just asking if the mechanics aren't worse than in Witcher 3 since I don't remember it much, I think I got to last act but never managed to complete it.

Confirmed for not actually playing Witcher 1.

Witcher 1's first two areas are really not that fun at all to play. It really isn't until you get to the Temple Quarter of Vizima do things really pick up. The real thing that separated Witcher 3 from the other two games is that it is fun from the beginning, where the other two are not but become really great games after you leave the first or second area.

The gameplay is completely different. I wouldn't say they're worse, but some people dislike the way the first one plays.

You have to time attacks to create a series of blade flurries, so it's not as action oriented as the next two games in the series. If that answers your question.

The mechanics of Witcher 1 are an entirely different game. It would probably wouldn't be fair to compare them.

has the best answer.

>story picks up in Act 2 although it has major pacing issues
I dropped the game there because the story was constantly grinding to a halt with areas feeling like senseless mazes. For all the dev's initial crowing about there being no good or evil in the dialog choices, most dialog trees boiled down to good, bad, and internet superhero. The second game fixed a lot of this.

True only if you weren't paying attention, Poland was already accumulating a reputation with groups like People Can Fly, City Games, and a few offshoots, and this was before Epic setup a proper shop there.
