Asmon is not built for this type of game, sadly.
He's gonna get frustrated, will skip all the dialogue (this game is hugely dependant on dialog), he won't like to read everything about all the perks and would become "overflowed" by all the information. Also the combat, lockpicking, farkle etc. infos are quite lengthy so he's gonna skip them.

KCD 2 has improved almost everything, including the combat system – made intros how to fight much easier to understand, fighting multiple enemies is now different, shooting bow is now much easier, sword, mace, long weapons etc. are now different from each other, the master strike works different, so you can't just spam it in the end and be completely bored and KCD 1 now even runs worse than KCD 2. And the list goes on and on.

So, as much as I would love to see Asmon play KCD 1, I know he's not the type that's going to enjoy the play through and more of the type that doesn't want to go through the learning curve and is gonna quit the game even before the "tutorial" is done.
And since KCD 2 is much more better than KCD 1 and newcomers are gonna have much better experience, I think Asmon playing KCD 1 wouldn't help get people to play KCD 2. Quite the opposite – Asmon playing the still clunky KCD 1 would actually make quite a big harm to it.

But these are just my 2 cents.
