It's also impossible to breathe if you hold your own breath. It's not like only playing on PlayStation isn't self-imposed.
Not sure why they made her hair silver, the books describe her as "ash blonde"I'm just curious, is there any reason why Ciri looks like the female version of Geralt? The white/grey hair, scar in the same spot over the left eye, etc.

The story of Witcher 1 is really cool but I don't think it is necessary to know what happened in Detail. It really is it's own thing. Good story though.
Also I say it again: I don't like Ciri. Never have.
Just as a question to a newcomer, how is the combat of the series? Is it anything like the Souls series? Or more like Dragon Age?
The first game can run on most everyone's PC. A good amount of the books are officially translated, and the rest have unofficial translations.
I'd certainly still recommend playing through the series for anyone that doesn't absolutely have to play this game at launch.
You must have missed the end of Witcher 2.So are we supposed to know how Yennefer is back or is that part of the game? Because as I recall she was kidnapped by the Wild Hunt.
If anyone wants a taste of the books, I'd recommend The Last Wish, which is a short story collection. It ties in somewhat with the games since one of the stories is used as the intro to the first game, and another is the background of Geralt and Ciri's relationship. The games have their own chronology, separate from the books, but since this takes place before them, it won't contradict and confuse you with characters who die in one but not the other, etc.
There's another short story collection, The Sword of Destiny, coming out in English next month. That's the first book written but wasn't translated first as it takes place after TLW. It's not out yet so I can't vouch for its quality.
So far we've had three of the books from the main Witcher Saga translated – Blood of Elves, Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire (two more are on the way) – but clearly they're more of a commitment than some might want, and they tell a completely separate story to that of the games.
I've only read The Last Wish but I'd be interested in reading more. Could someone post the proper order for reading the books?
Very interesting all around. Quick question, is Triss being unhappily in love with Geralt because she's the friend of Yennefer, or is there more to it than that?
I never liked Ciri.
THERE I SAID IT.

Also, what is the Law of Surprise? And is it normal for Witchers to ask for childrens as rewards normally?!
I'll bite, why?
You might as well not like the main character of the Witcher novels then, because she was basically it by the end of it.
I'd suggest maybe updating the OP with details for the first games a bit, particularly when it comes to Geralt and Triss and what we learned of Yennefer at the end of Game 2. The OP kind of reads like a book reader's intro, which is nice, but still going to leave people a bit out of the lurch.
There's really not much relevant happening between Geralt and Triss in Witcher 1 though. The story of W 1 is pretty self contained actually.
And Witcher 3 seems to focus on Yen, Ciri and the Wild Hunt which were basically never mentioned in the previous games (okay, the Wild Hunt was, but it wasn't that important)
Are all these characters from The Witcher 1 or something? I played the shit out of TW2 and had never heard of Yennefer or Ciri until last year's TW3 video at E3. I feel like they're skipping a game's worth of story before they start this one.

Yennifer was in TW2 for sure in those flashback cinematics that Geralt had.
However, I don't rememeber Ciri. Also where did you get all this information regarding Ciri and Yennifer?
Yennifer is in flashback illustrations in W2, but never in the series in person. Ciri is only mentioned in passing in W2, and is in an easter egg story from a bartender in W1. Doesn't appear in either game cause she's literally not in their world at the time.so Ciri and Yennefer never show in W1/2?
