No don't bother with the first witcher. I tried, didn't like it. It's meant to be really good story/atmosphere, but horrible controls/gameplay etc. A lot of people really like it.
Witcher 2 is amazing and you don't miss out on anything from not playing the first.
Go straight to the second imo.
edit: also guys! anyone who has played the witcher games NEEDS to watch the polish tv series. it got shit reviews but it is actually very, very good. its all in polish with subtitles, feels really gritty like the games, and sticks very closely to the games characters (mainly geralt and his personality lol. identical to the game, i was impressed). gives some background on Geralt and his childhood too, its pretty awesome.
(sorry for derailing)
