I think much of these games depend on the world and whether you like it. If you do find it horribly bland and needlessly edgy, then I don't think any of the games will pull you in, even if you find the other games a bit better.
For the record, the second game has by far the best story of the three and some good choices & consequences (biggest example is the second act have two paths that are completely different) but the gameplay is complete and utter shit and they devolve a lot of stuff that was interesting in the first game like the alchemy system. It is an incredibly tedious game to play through in my opinion.
I guess the third game might be worth a shot. Even though I like the first game the best (even with all its weirdness and clunkiness), the third is pretty enjoyable. But, the story still isn't particularly good and neither is the gameplay.
It's a series that lives and dies by its atmosphere and gameworld in my opinion and if those things don't grip you, then I have a hard time seeing anyone finding much enjoyment in them.
