Been watching ESA, nothing of note (except the trainwreck of an Elden Ring blindfolded run), but it’s certainly better than GDQ.

Don't remember if I said this in the last thread, but I finally gave Witcher 3 a try. Quite different from the previous 2 games that were more linear so I'm a bit overwhelmed, but liking it. So far I've finished the Bloody Baron questline which was very interesting and well written

I can never get into Witcher 3. I’ve tried on three separate occasions but just don’t get the appeal.

I tried once years ago and crapped out.
I tried again not that long ago and got addicted for a week, but then I crapped out again. The writing’s really nothing special and a lot of quests are annoying. At this rate I get on once a week or so and make as much progress as I can so I can eventually complete the main quest.

It's too early for me to say anything about the third one, but in the first 2 games I can tell you that gameplay was never the appeal. The first game is actual trash by gameplay standards and even the story is a bit shakey, but by God the setting and atmosphere just carried it through. And the second reason people appreciate them is in the character interactions- not only are they well written and organic, but the choices you make are also genuinely meaningful and give you a lot of freedom in how you approach both quests and the story. This is done best in 2nd game which is basically 2 games in one as at the very start it splits into 2 completely different branches depending on what choice you make.
So if you're a sucker for a good interactive story with interesting characters and can tolerate subpar to terrible gameplay, maybe give the previous games a try and see if the momentum and excitement carry over to the 3rd one. If that doesn't interest you however, then I guess the series just isn't for you

Never got into it, either. I was actually surprised the number of allegedly 9/10 games I picked up at Gamestop for cheap, I was like "I hate this, 100%."

I’m in the opposite boat because I played 3 first and recently bought 2 on sale. I’ve heard 1 is really dated though and apparently there’s a remake in the works.
I also bought Thronebreaker since I loved Gwent.

It is
Also true but it will be a couple years till release probably.
I absolutely recommend you try 1 if you like the series though, be it through remake whenever it comes or as original. Might not have the same effect on you as you're playing backwards, but for me it was a great introduction to the series which made the latter parts make more sense. And the atmosphere in that game is off the charts
