That's awesome. More to follow during the long awaited steam sale. :) |
Playing the first will give you a better understanding of the world and characters plus you get a few perks for importing a save (doesn't make any other major changes other than a few peices of dialog) but it can be a real slog as it's very long and has many streatches of boring fetch quests and repetitive combat.
Tho the W1 does have some good elements mainly in the writing and choices. But it is not esentual to enjoy 2 which is a much more accessable and I would say enjoyable gameplay experience. And whether you jump in with one or two you are not going to understand a lot of what is going on and who characters are at first unless you have read the books. the fiction is quite dense and they didn't do the best job of easing you into it, personally I kinda like that but many people can't stand it.
