To be fair, she's plenty thirsty for Geralt in the books too. Overly so. :/ Didn't like her in the books much. She was my choice in TW1, but she was pretty meh in TW2.

Depending on how powerful your Mac is you might be able to run them. Both have Mac versions.
TW1 and TW2 are on Mac too. I have them.
Edit: Beaten like a fighter in the ring with a Witcheress.
They are very different games. W2 is more modern. I thought W1 was great, but it's very catered toward the traditional hardcore PC-gamer crowd.

Iorveth was for the weeaboos. Saskia was cool but really was anything as awesome as that scene with Roche and the bridge? Plus I really liked the setting on his path more too, dat war camp

I'd agree if Ubisoft were making this.
it is about Ciri.
Books spoilers
The king was after her since she was a kid because of her royal bloodline (to rule Cintra), she is also have the blood of the elders elves that why the Wild Hunt were after her but after a while she went away from all of them
I guess She is back to end all of this (because she can)

I hope they improved the combat from 1, everything felt over complicated for the reason of being over complicated, I know for a fact my rig won't be able to run this decently

I'm guessing that there's going to be some kind of save game import for TW3? Thinking about which path I should play through before I have a go at the third game.

I forgot to mention before, the trailer music is fantastic. I hope it's on the OST (unlike Transistor's trailer music!)
So true. Loved that character, hope there's more of her!

If you played only once, then you definitely need to replay.
I played on release, then replayed with version 2.0 second branch, and I am still extremely excited about third playthrough with Iorveth again, for the first time in Enhanced Edition, with new cutscenes and content.
The funniest part about the books was that basically
everyone wanted to impregnate Ciri and the only one that got close was impotent.
Vergen > that smelly old camp
Only bad thing was Vergen was it clearly designed by a man in love with mazes. Hard as fudge to navigate.
By the way, the game is not very forgiving with auto-saves, so manually save often.

You've gotta play Dark mode on your second playthrough, if only for those sweet armour sets.

...Do I need to play the first two to understand what's going on in this one?
This looks incredible and I want it really badly but I haven't played more than two hours of one and two combined.

Probably best to at least play TW2, but it seems like they're making TW3 newcomer-friendly with at least the included compendium. And I'm sure things will be explained.

I really have to finally power through TW2. I forget where I left off now..

Same here. I'm just better off starting over from the beginning. Its been so long.
I did Iorveth's path, then went back and did Iorveth's path again, then went back and played through half the game with Roche. I never finished that one. I would go pick it up right now but my PC is busted and won't see repairs anytime soon.

There is that booklet that comes with Witcher 3 that explains what has happened. But to get the most out of it, I would definitely play Witcher 2 at least. 1 is probably passable
You probably left it off in the forest area, that's where many people stop lol
Some quick downsized screenies from the 40mbps version...
Nice to see that we will return to Kaer Morhen!

Was that Yennifer in the trailer?

Witcher 2 had big codex entries on everything, so you could more easily understand the Witcher's setting. The two games are connected and related, but the events of both games are largely self-contained, with only a few cameos or references between the two. I see no reason why the Witcher 3 will be any dfiferent.
I would recommend playing all three, but it is in no way a requirement.
Uh... #TeamJennifer ? :x

How many titans must I purchase to run it on max at 60 fps? Wow

Only if it doesn't take place in that awful, empty desert setting. Wyoming is calling!
This scenery is outstanding. This is a game I'd buy for the views alone despite not having played 1&2. This looks to be a standard setting game for environments (non-highly stylized environments).

Like others have said, it might be best to play the Witcher 2 first. Still a great game, usually on sale for $4-5 on PC. That being said the Dev's have always been good with making the games approachable. It's got a nice journal that reminds me a lot of the codex stuff in Mass Effect. You talk to an npc, discover a new area? detailed journal entries are updated. Sure that may not be for everyone but they have always been good for leaving the option there for people that want to learn more.
