No not for the game itself, just to be able to get into all the inside jokes about the game.
 
This game, is beautiful. It's art. It needs to be played cause it's so retarded. I'd played the game in 2008 or early 2009 I think, and though it took a lot of effort, I adjusted to the bad parts of the game, and slowly even began to enjoy it! (Yes, it's true)
I guess I was halfway through the game, when the difficulty level just curved up like crazy. It was a tough encounter for me to fight of two trolls at a time, and at that sort of level, quests which required me to kill about 30 bad guys (forgot what they were called. Orcs I guess) and and 3-4 trolls at the same time started cropping up. 
 
That just broke my heart as I couldn't continue playing this game, which for some funny reason, I had even secretly started loving. I remember, in one of my last attempts, I was at their base camp, running in circles, chased by ALL 30 or something orcs at the same time, and whenever I'd gain just a little space, laying out a bomb quickly in hopes to get some damage on them.   
 
Yes. This game is that retarded. 
 
I was pretty sad I couldn't carry on, but by then I'd also grown sick of the game. Everything had become much harder, and for some reason there was a lot of fog all over the world. Yeah weird.
 
But then only some months ago, I stumbled upon some hilarious Youtube videos which brought back hilarious and sweet memories of the game, often picking on the terrible dialouges.  They often go like: (Random dialogue, just made it up right now)
"Aye, It is time"
"mayhap we should wait a little longer"
"NAY, that would be unwise"
"NAY, it is not time to argue"
"AYE"
"AYE"

Here's probably my favorite one (A highly recommended watch) :
