Witcher 3 has few callbacks to Witcher 1, but afaik none of the choices in TW1 have any impact on events in TW3. You can import save from TW1 to TW2 and see a bit of consequence there, but TW3 takes place another 6 months after TW2 in another location, so events from TW1 do not play a role there.

Ah cool, I'm definitely going to give TW1 a go then as i never actually got round to playing it. Gonna see if i can find some graphics mods/ENB presets and use DSR to spruce the dated graphics up abit

Witcher 1 is not a technical powerhouse, but the art direction is strong and the game has a strong sense of atmosphere. I took these five years ago, no mods:

They actually look pretty decent for a 2008 game, got it on download now
do you remember roughly the amount of playtime it takes if you go through all the side quests etc?Quite well by the looks of it. If you turn down a setting or two you could get 60fps no problem.
You can go in the description of the video and skip to the Witcher 3
They also have normal 1080 benchmarks at 1080p and witcher 3 seems to run at around 100-110 fps average max settings without hairworks.
That swamp though. I feel as though I spent years in it! It remember purchasing Witcher 1 via online download during release. The game was so incredibly buggy that I rate it as one of the worst titles back then as you had to apply numerous patches in order so it was messy. I gave up on the game until the enhanced edition came out with a million bug fixes, npc faces etc.
It was one of the best rpg titles after that. The swamp will live with me forever. So much to do there.
About 60-70 hours for me.They actually look pretty decent for a 2008 game, got it on download now
Best of the trilogy imo.

combat sucks though just started a game.
Awesome, gonna kill quite a lot of time going through the whole trilogy i hope. Been quite bored as of late and felt like I've had nothing to play but in truth I've had these right under my nose

It is pretty long, I would say those 50-60 hours.
Couple words of advice
- use OTS (over the shoulder) camera
- read tutorial screens and learn the right timing for combat, select hard difficulty (at least try it)
- invest some points into Aard sign, it makes final boss of first chapter much less frustrating
Hard to give any advice to such post. For me it doesn't suck in any of the three games, although TW2 has weakest combat (still fun). Most importantly though, combat is not what these games revolve around.
Good to hear, as I currently suck at combat!
Have just started TW3 and clearly still need to practice combat, or rather get used to playing with a console controller.
It does take some practice. Probably most important thing is learning to dodge. Rolling away is just for when you really need to get the **** outta dodge, otherwise sidesteps are where it's at.
Also make sure to use all the tools Geralt has. Read the bestiary, use the signs (some good for crowd control), potions, bombs as you craft them. In the menu options enable "alternative movement response" if you haven't already. Parrying and riposte is also very useful, particularly against humans, although some animal attacks can also be parried.

combat in witcher 1. In witcher 3 it's fine.
