The writing and storytelling in the games was always great, but people were held back from enjoying it because the combat sucked.

Now the combat sucks a lot less while the level of writing quality has stayed more or less the same. (Obviously some quests are better than others, according to personal taste.)

To be honest I didn't have a problem with Witcher 1's combat. Though I came to miss the able to spam the group attack style and stun locking some enemies into a exploitative oblivion.

Still, doesn't remove from the fact the writing is great, as you and I have said.
