The Witcher Series 1,2 and 3

[Death by EMP]

The Witcher.... such a fantastic, underrated series. Makes me wonder how on Earth there is not a thread for this.

The Witcher 3

Watch this badass trailer before reading on.

The Witcher 2 is my 2nd favorite RPG of all time and sets the bar for all modern RPGs, and that bar is about to be set higher. Call me a sucker, but Witcher 3 is GOTY for me. An Open world with all the glory of a Witcher game? Hell yeah! What could possibly be better than a PC focused, open world RPG with amazing story, memorable characters, mind blowing visuals, tactical cRPG combat and an amazing soundtrack to go along with it? Hint: Nothing

To add onto that, CD Projekt Red are like the most amazing AAA developer's out there. They are the only game studio that comes to mind which I can trust will never make a bad game nor business decision. They believe in PC gaming first, no DRM, no micro transactions, no censorship and no paid DLC. They work purely out of passion, and it shows in their games.

Here is a gameplay trailer:

Honestly, if you don't get the Witcher 3 hype from watching that, you are not human

The Witcher 2

Not much that hasn't been said already about the Witcher 2 can be said. It truly is one of the finest RPGs crafted.

Oh, and it is home to my favorite videogame trailer of all time.

The Witcher

The Witcher 2 improved on almost every aspect of the Witcher 1, but it is still a great game and definitely worth the playthrough for the story. The game played almost 100% differently compared to the Witcher 2, it was more of a Dragon Age combat system, but regardless, the story and immersion of the game are fantastic.

If I recall correctly there is only 3 translated to English and there is like 8 in the series, plus a comic series.

Is the game worth buying? I actually have never seen it or played it.

Buy the whole series bro, you won't regret it. Witcher 1 starts out realllllyyyy slow, but the story picks up in episode 3, gameplay is decent all the way through, but if you play 1 first, you not only learn the story but your decisions carry over a-la mass effect style. Witcher 2 is absolutely phenomenal.

One other thing, the GOG versions are better than the Steam versions, they have no DRM.

Lucky o: I guess it would be easier to translate Polish to Russian than Polish to English /:

I think it's not matter of how difficult it is to translate the book, but rather of how much can author/publisher earn on it.

And to stay on-topic, I don't remember much from first game, but the second one is probably best RPG I've ever played. Beautiful graphics, great story, living world, a lot of realistic characters and of course many choices to make. And every damn choice in this game is too difficult to make

Ok thanks! I'll try them out.

So beautiful it brings a tear to my eye, can't wait for this; the first two (especially the second one, which is definitely one of my favourite games ever) were astounding games.

I agree, this is easily going to be one of the best Western RPGs ever released, but unfortunately there is no sense sharing with this community, 95% would rather play a rehashed Assassin's Creed before they play a fleshed out and beautiful RPG of the caliber of the Witcher. An unfortunate truth. Along with this trailer they also announced a release date, February 24th, 2015. My body is ready.

Also that horseback combat.... hnnnnngggg
