Steam had the entire Witcher series on sale for a few dollars. I bought everything for the first 3 games.

There was some discussion of it at the time, and folks seem to agree that the first one in the series sucks hard.
As that seemed to be the worst plan, I went with it.

Yes. "It's rough." I guess the engine and content have gotten some backports and extensions. I'm not sure if you could ~~play other characters besides Geralt before, but now you can~~. (EDIT ... Sorry, this seems to be BS. My bad.) They updated the graphics a lot. Its not great, but I think they fixed most of the really bad problems.

I don't know about the story. Seems pretty awful. Awkward acting. Its been fun just trying to play the damn thing.

Um ... I sort of like it. Gonna play some more now ...

I really liked the first one when it was new... Up until I got toward the end and encountered a CTD bug that, if was ever fixed, I didn't know about it and gave up waiting for.

The re-release probably works fine tho... Right?

Why not just write crash to desktop for us non-technical people?

It took me like two minutes to figure out what that meant.

You haven't seen "CTD" before? You're yankin' my pizzle.

I've been online since the time my modern had to scream at my phone line and this is the first time I encountered that particular TLA.

Maybe I’ve seen it before but I had to search what it meant to refresh my memory.

I haven't seen a pizzle yanked that well in some time.
