TW2 gets really good once you start the actual chapter 1. Actually, Witcher 2's prologue is pretty bad too, it took CDPR until Witcher 3 to make a good prologue. TLDR: Play through Chapter 2 before making a final verdict on Witcher 1. It's just that the graphics look really messy (CDProjekt tore apart the Neverwinter Nights engine to make this game), it has too many fetch quests, the English dub is markedly worse than that of the follow two games so play it on Polish, the way the game handles non-central female characters is somewhere between a Connery Bond film and an eroge game, and I'll just describe the combat system as 'weird'. The UI may be ugly, but it's actually very functional. It still very much holds up all these years later.

I also think Witcher 1 still has the best alchemy system of the three games. If you like any of the games I listed, you have a solid chance of liking Diablo 2, and I would argue its very much worth your time to find and play this game. It's systemic in ways a lot of modern AAA RPGs still aren't. diablo ii diablo iii dungeon siege 2 evergreen gog grim dawn immortal throne marvel heroes nox path of exile sacred 2 steam titan quest torchlight 2 torchlight ii van helsing victor vran They have. The characters, world building, and choice-based quests work really well, especially if you can get past the prologue and first chapter (which I personally didn't hate all that much). In true Eurojank fashion, it's extremely rough in a shitload of ways, but just endearing enough in a few important ways to make some people keep playing it. But seriously, Witcher 1 is the weirdest of the three games looking back.
