What's the best order for the DLC? Should I just play all the main game, then Hearts of Stone, then Blood and Wine? Or should I complete all the DLC before finishing the main game? I'm only level 20 and haven't left Novigrad yet so I have a ways to go before Hearts of Stone is even an option.

I mean it was like 1997 and any chance of making a hit videogame series based on Polish fantasy was absolute zero, so I can't blame him for taking the money. Hell even now it took them 3 games to finally get it right

Yeah I don’t usually care for fantasy novels at all but I had a good time with this series. I think I’m going to reread them all before my eventual replay of TW3 to make sure I catch all the references, since basically all the references to past events aside from Roche are actually from the books and not the other games.

There’s a cool quote from some interview with him where he says that at the time he started writing the short stories that would eventually become The Witcher, fantasy was a genre for “stupid children who don’t know how to masturbate correctly” and I think about it every time Amazon recommends me The Basilisk Chronicles: Rise of the Oathbreakers of Zel’juan or whatever

Like bruv, you’re getting a netflix show out of the deal and are more relevant now than ever. Sorry you made a bad decision 10 years ago, but things could be a lot worse.

In Witcher 1 entire dialogue passages were lifted from in-book Yen and given to in-game Triss. Now somebody has to pay for those crimes, team Yen doesn't forget.

GraveVideos posted:(all the humor in games comes from the way he wrote the books) The Time of Contempt is the only book I can recall laughing out loud at. “‘Geralt, my respects come from the bottom of my heart...’ Geralt, refraining from telling Dijkstra his respect came from the heart of his bottom, shook the proffered hand.”

The Witcher main novel series kind of drags for the most part (although I liked the second one, Time of Contempt) but the short story compilations, The Last Wish and The Sword of Destiny, are both definitely worth reading. As for Sapkawski, his books probably wouldn't have been translated outside of Eastern Europe if not for the games, and he knows that. He's salty...
