  In that case 1+2 remake is definitely a solid choice. Maps, gameplay and general vibes are lovingly recreated from the originals - it really feels like playing the classics in modern skin.

  Not the OP but THPS 1+2 is a pretty solid remake (sans some missing songs). There’s a lot of love and passion put into it and it plays really well. 3+4 on the other hand… that one missed the mark in my opinion. It’s missing way more skaters and music, and removed the career mode from 4, replacing it with normal time-limited runs. It feels more like a DLC for the first remake than a proper standalone release. That’s just my opinion after playing for a bit at my friend’s place though. If I wan...

  Praise be to all of the authors of alternative start mods! NV is definitely a great vanilla solution but I still like the ability to skip the main story premise completely.

  Yeah, that’s pretty much how I play these days as well. Mod the game to the brim, pick a setting appropriate role (preferably one with little to no intentional combat) and go with that.

  Yeah, I tried it vanilla during the weird middle ground where it got some improvements but was still lacking in many aspects - I’m pretty sure it got more updates since then. Do you think the base game is good enough to try on its own or are there any expansions/kits that you’d say are not necessarily required but at least strongly recommended?

  I have a few tips for the first Witcher that might help a bit. Its combat is like a (simple) rhythm game, you need to click with specific timing (signalled by the change of mouse cursor) to keep the optimal combo going. Also keep enemy weaknesses, your combat style etc in mind when fighting - not engaging with game mechanics can make things way more difficult then they really are and it’s one of the reasons many people bounce off of the game. Sure, it’s old and somewhat janky but some of the pro...
