Problem has been solved by uninstalling the old NVIDIA driver and installing the new one (as in from 11 days ago). Wonder what happened to break it.

Game, that is NOT what I chose If I'm remembering right the 'forcefully' at the end of [Shove Dijkstra forcefully] now was even added by a patch, and people still accidentally break his leg. It's never happened to me because I'm built different and like the fat bastard.

I maintain that "Shove Djikstra Forcefully" should have come at the end of Reasons of State as an alternative method of resolving the choice at the end of that story sequence.

Witcher 3, but it's a vaudeville act where straight-man Geralt snaps Djikstra leg every time he gets a little too keyed up.

I like it where it is. I like, ever since Witcher 1, that there’s always unforeseen consequences to your actions that change or outright close off quest paths later in the game. It makes replaying much more interesting.

I guess they’re remaking witcher 1 in the unreal 5 engine. I’ll try it https://twitter.com/witchergame/status/1585270206305386497?s=46&t=m51QYi1TpmehGqTxdBbbow

I actually enjoyed the combat in Witcher 1, maybe even more than in the other games. I suspect it'll just be regular combat in the remake though. Hopefully they manage to make it feel more weighty than Witcher 3.

That's awesome. I played it at launch and loved it, but the jank made it impossible to go back to it after playing the second and third games.

It has a few bright spots, but the translation is pretty rough, and all of the story's worst qualities—like Geralt being a horny cyborg—are on full display.

I keep hearing Witcher mentioned as an example of Eurojank. What was janky about the first and second games?

Witcher 1 wasn't really any jankier than NWN1, the game whose engine it used. It was just par for the course for PC games then. I did a full playthrough this year and the only thing that really struck me as "janky" as opposed to just "obviously from 2007" is the crafting system, where literally the only potions I used for the entire game were Swallow and Tawny Owl.

Witcher 1? Off the top of my head: long load times (before EE), kludgy "interactive" combat, poor character animations, uneven English translation, and bad voice acting. It played like a Neverwinter Nights model with a bit of production value behind it... which makes sense, since that's more or less what it was. Witcher 2? Still pretty shakey on both the translation and VO, some gameplay systems were still very clunky, and the third act is held together with spit and glue. I maintain that without the awesome conversation with Letho to elevate the finale, people would not remember Witcher 2 nearly so fondly. All that said, I'd only call Witcher 1 full-on Eurojank. Witcher 2 is much more evolved, and a solid double-A title for the time.

I liked W1 much more than W2 but I didn't have to play this game in English so that probably improved my experience a lot lmao I remember being positively surprised when I took a closer look at Geralt in W3 and noticed that his face is very similar to the one from W1 (or maybe just an opening cinematic from W1), at least from the profile. The graphics improved but it's still the same old Gerry as from that old janky game

I encountered the bugged "Hidden in the Deep" quest on Faroe. Found a corpse with a letter and key and the quest completed before I could even catch what it was. So I go into this cave and slay the monsters and find the loot, but there's also an area with a fancy looking door my witcher senses highlight but I can't do anything with it. Does that actually go anywhere? The map was bugging out, switching between cave and surface, and Geralt even started swimming through the air for a while.

I still play The Witcher 1 fairy regularly. It’s a game I always have installed, like Morrowind or Civilization. I’m very curious to see how this remake turns out. Especially since it’s their second attempt. “Rise of the White Wolf” was a remake in development using their first iteration of the Red Engine, and they ended up abandoning that to focus on The Witcher 2. Granted, pretty sure RotWW was farmed out to another studio and they weren’t making great progress. I think. Still, I love The Witcher 1 and still think it holds up to this day.

The story is shown in a better way, Nilfgaard is less of a death cult loons. But I can't think of any change from the books that was better in the TV series. The ending in Kaer Morhen sucked pretty bad. As a fantasy series it's still ok, just falls short of source material.
