W1 is wildly misogynistic, even for mid 2000s standards, not to mention it’s pretty shit in every way except maybe the story. It’s really not worth playing.
I liked W2 mostly because of the characters and an engaging gameplay that was simple but not boring.
I never could get into W3. It’s a beautiful looking world, but it’s so immature and wish fulfill-y that I dropped it.
Even if they just added a “pollution” mechanic to ore extraction, the game would change so much. It could go a very ecological way, or some frostpunk dystopia
