Is it worth playing without playing the first game? (The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings)

In general, it is possible, because saves can be transferred, and the developers said that from the saves there are 3 different beginnings of the game, and if without them, then a different beginning.

I think that if there is an import of saves from the 1st part, then things, weapons, potions, etc. will not be saved. Most likely it will be like in Dragon Age 2 (some specific moments from the 1st part and decisions made during the game will be noted, which will affect the beginning and the process itself. )

I would say this: you should not even play the first part without reading Sapkowski's series of books about the witcher. Of course, you will enjoy the game even without books, but some moments and jokes may not be clear to you. The books are great, the game is great too, let's see what part 2 has in store for us :)

So why stretch the page?

>>> Are the developers' arguments not enough for you?
I just don’t follow the news, so before going out I decided to go to the forum again and ask if they suddenly decided to redo something.

YES, it's too late to play it! Chukobes came to his senses after 3 and a half years

I would say this: you should not even play the first part without reading Sapkowski's series of books about the witcher.

I played without knowing about any books. Then I read the books and played the second time with no less pleasure.

I read a book and because of this I didn’t want to play the game, I didn’t like the book

I read all the books, in the first part I went through 2 chapters and read the ending, so in principle I will understand almost everything. But the first part was sometimes annoying, because it was too long, IMHO! Yes, I highly recommend reading the books!

No, you shouldn't...
The first Witcher is still my favorite purchase.
I passed it 8 times!
Recently prepared 3 saves (with different endings) for the second Witcher.
In short, it’s better not to play the second Witcher without going through the first part!

It is definitely worth going through, especially since there is both a graph and a plot at an excellent level !!! I'm sure you won't be disappointed in part 1.

Passed the first witcher by 100% - a fucking game!
I read the whole book - a fucking book, but after it the plot of the game automatically became a rare garbage!
I read what will happen in the second part, it seems that the game will become even worse ...

the conclusion of the book is harmful to read!

Ce3uK ahahaha exactly =)

well, what the heck, they repackaged the plot from the book in pieces, then mixed it up, chewed it, spat it out, the result was served to the client
de artagnan stanitsa n * doras, n * doras count de montecristo, and all the rest were dull shit

Who cares. On the contrary, I was more interested in playing after reading.

the plot was rewritten in pieces.
The only thing that is "repeated" is a few dialogues, for some reason the Lady of the Lake living near Vizima, the Professor (who is the Master in the Polish version) and a couple of moments on trifles. If you want to see a really "reverse" plot, play the "Price of Neutrality" modules. In the witcher itself, the plot is completely different. Tell me, was there an episode with a witch in the books, and indeed with a cursed village? Was it in the book that Geralt tried to investigate and figure out (albeit not entirely successfully) under whose guise the "main villain" is hiding?

In the second part, there will be three different beginnings, depending on the transferred saves

for me, Witcher was the first RPG, and it was something, no game was so addictive as this one,
first go through the first part

Well, first of all, there was an episode with a witch. exactly the same as in the game. it ended a little differently, but the essence is the same. and the dialogue was completely screwed up.
secondly, if only such trifles about which you are talking about were shoved from the book into the game, it would be you fucked up.
thirdly, I'm talking about the child's purpose and how the plot revolves around. doesn’t remind you of anything?)
in the fourth, where did another 2 years go and what happened to them ... (tsiri and the witch yenefer), tris merigold in the book "a character from a country of the 3rd world". Amnesia, which is funny in the Witcher, he remembered somehow tris, but forgot about the "wife and daughter"
I know the book well, not to say perfectly.

Nothing prevents you from completing the first witcher (even before the release of the second).
I don’t know how connected they will be with each other, but the first one is so excellent that even by itself it would be worth playing!!!

So we can say that, for example, most books have the same plot.
