Unfortunately most of us haven't read them/only one(?) has been translated to English so far. [sp]Is it Ciri[/sp]?
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;41852904]jesus fucking christ I've never played a witcher game but that made me want to
Is it worth playing through the first one? I hear it's not great[/QUOTE]
No, the first one's not great. A friend of mine told me I had to play it before starting the second one, and I wasn't a big fan. But you know what? I don't regret playing through all 50+ hours of it. It has a lot of charm, it helps you understand and appreciate the lore and story, and finishing it to start playing Witcher 2 will blow your fucking mind. The gap between the two games makes you wonder if the second one was actually made by the same people. Plus, the price has gone as low as $2.50, so you can't go wrong.
[QUOTE=redBadger;41859937]Geralt is such a great character, proven by the trailer. It's a shame they won't continue with him. His VA is amazing as well.[/QUOTE]
For a character that speaks so monotone, that voice gets a lot projected, that's for damn sure!
You don't need to play TW1 to understand TW2 but TW1 should be played anyways. TW1 is more about Geralt trying to discover who he is in a changing world and trying to get to the bottom of a mystery whereas TW2 is about another giant mystery and politics
Fuck Nilfgaard.
[QUOTE=Pantz Master;41867414]Fuck Nilfgaard.[/QUOTE]

Fuck Aedirn too because of the decadent Demavend and Prince Penis.
Fuck Radovid and Redania, the power hungry little shits.
[editline]17th August 2013[/editline]
Foltest is ok but fucking your sister and some minor Baron's wife is a shitty thing to do, maybe fuck him.
Basically fuck everyone, even Geralt.
I tried playing The Witcher 1, it was okay until I got to the second act and had to talk to an NPC that didn't spawn. Witcher 2 is fantastic though.

But not everyone is to be fucked. The king of Kovir is one cool guy. The Arch-spy of Redania (forgot his name) is cool as well.
And nilfgard are not that bad in books. I mean yeah they murder everyone who stands in their way, but who doesn't? On the other side they have manufactures, working laws and stuff, generally less fucked up shit then everywhere else. Also no feminist prevert mages, which is also a good thing.
I think I'm going to read the witcher books. I absolutely love this story!
Also I said it in the news section and I'll say it again. Geralt is definitely now my man crush after this trailer.

I literally just ordered the three books which have been translated into English, but I read somewhere it'll be a bit dis-jointed because the ones translated aren't in the right order or something?

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;41863332]I've only played Witcher 2 and am currently at the Letho boss battle.
the combat can be really frustrating when you first start out since you got to keep spamming spells in order to not get fucked up instantly.[/QUOTE]
Try the FCR mod.
It makes things...well lets just say it makes things interesting.
the order of the books (from my understanding) is The Last Wish, The Sword of Destiny (this has not be officially translated because the publisher is an asshole HOWEVER you can read the unofficial translation here: [url]http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/20967-our-community-fan-translations/[/url] )
after the Sword of Destiny it's Blood of Elves then Time of Contempt (which is coming out later this month)
[editline]17th August 2013[/editline]
also anyone else think a game where you play as Yennefer could be interesting?

They're great books. Read them about half a year ago. The game is full of references to the books, and it really fleshes out the world and characters even more.

A game where you are an OP whiny sex-hungry bitch without any sign of morale whatsoever?
Game of the year every year!
