It took me several attempts to finish The Witcher II because I kept bouncing off the prologue: there's a huge exposition dump about King Foltest and his war but the stakes and relationships were completely obtuse to me as a non-book reader (and pre-patch, the introduction to the combat system was awkward.)
Of course, when I finally got to Flotsam and the throughline of the story became apparent, the whole thing turned awesome. It's still a dense story with a lot going on and I like that your character isn't the center of the universe / chosen one / Commander Shepard, but rather just a wildcard in other people's plots with his own personal motivations.
Having said that, I do hope Witcher III is a little more elegant about setting up the story and your involvement in it.
Still there on Day 1 of course.
