The Witcher (one)?
Yes, finally yes. I guess I'm the only one here who has played a Witcher game 😅

1. Great, you're all jerks. Now can I go?
To get into the main area of the game, Vizima, you gotta solve the mystery in the outer village which amounts to a monster manifesting from the shittiness of all the villagers.
2. This is my questline reward? Christ, things were different back then.
Many questline rewards are cards with pinup, often nude, images of the female characters in the game. Wouldn't really fly these days...
3. post-canonical
Events of the game are set after the events of the books they are based on
4. Lizard people stole my junk
The game begins with the Witcher potions being stolen by the Salamandra
5. Yahtzee's the best!
The game all the NPCs in the world play is called Dice Poker, pretty similar to Yahtzee
6. Wow, a sword of legend! [Later] Throw it in the pile...
The final sword in the game is a sword of legend you get from a dryad. In the next game, you start with it and it quickly becomes obsolete!
7. Considered the worst in the series.
8. But no one faults it, it laid a strong foundation for the subsequent games.
9. Just amnesiac problems
They use the handy trope of an amnesiac MC to help introduce the player to the world
10. New and improved! Still jank tho...
There is an Enhanced Edition. The improvements are... subtle
11. Draws on some mythology not super common among games
Draws on some European folklore that isn't really drawn on commonly as opposed to Egyptian, Norse, etc.
12. Humans are the real monsters. And monsters are real monsters too
An ancient event called the conjunction of spheres is why monsters exist in this world. Also, apparently, humans? Elves and Dwarves are the true natives to the world.
13. Time loops and apocalypse dreams
SPOILERS: you look after a child with elder blood powers throughout the game. At one point he disappears. Turns out he sent himself back in time and became the main villain of the game you're currently playing! At the end, he conjures an illusion of the end of the world you explore.
14. Monster hunter
Witchers hunt monsters for COIN
15. But that's not how swords work
Geralt holds his two swords in the oft maligned and historically inaccurate position of vertically on the back. You can't actually draw your sword when it is positioned like that!
16. I don't blame him for taking the check over the stake if this is what they showed him.
The novel author famously declined a stake in the franchise when CDProjekt Red took the rights to the property for the use in their game franchise.
17. A western game, pretty far east though
Developed in eastern europe, pretty much the furthest east before people stop considering your game a western RPG
18. Based on some sappy novels
Novels written by Andrzej Sapkowski
19. There's a TV Show!!!
20. It's a medieval action RPG
