season of storms was fine but it felt like sapkowski changed all the characters to make it more appealing for game fans. but it had nimue in it for a couple chapters and she was my favorite part of lady of the lake. ill read another one for sure

I'm gonna read it for sure but Witcher (while it owns) feels really played out due to Netflix fail aids and I wonder if that will affect the quality of the book since the saga is really where it's at and any anything after that has a higher chance of getting pozzed as well. I'll probably read it when I go witcher psycho mode to put it all to rest for me (reread all books, replay w3, watch joseph anderson's 1000hr video on w3 when that drops)

I think it's a bit better than season 2, which isn't saying much but if you've already seen that then eh why not

I couldn't get through season 2 but I also never got into the books. I hope the remake of the first game that they're making is good.

I haven't read the books yet but they're on the list. I mostly hated season 2 because they did my boy Eskel dirty. Even before they killed him off they made him a creep, hated it

S3 pissed me off bc they split it into 2 and the 2nd part was just 2 episodes with one of the episodes revealing the most obvious cliffhanger mystery ever.

The Witcher 2 game is so weird lol. It doesn't really feel remotely connected to either 1 or 3 and it's only like 20 hours long because they felt the need to make two totally different Act 2s, and the plot is just densely Game of Thrones political poo poo while Geralt stands around awkwardly and then fights a dragon in a boss fight remarkably similar to fighting DK at the end of DK 1994.

I kind of love it and it sets a lot of ground for 3 from a tech/RPG system standpoint, it's clearly the game the studio had to make to get there, but it's such an odd thing.

Letho owns though and I was happy to see him come back and be less murderous in 3

My next Witcher 3 playthrough will be my 13th. I love that game like an old dog-eared paperback you read again and again even though you memorized everything that happens long ago. Speaking of Letho my last playthrough I forgot the dialogue options for the end of his quest and I didn't mean to have it happen but he got beheaded, months of planning for true freedom all foiled by one tag along fuckin' moron r.i.p.

I like w2 a lot because any rpg where you don't have to save the world gets points from me. and the alternate act 2 and change of events from it was a really cool idea that I don't think any other game has done to such a degree.

My Witcher three playthrough got disrupted when I moved to Cambodia like 4 years ago and I could just never get back into it. The fights are terrible and I never know wtf is going on.
