Poll of the Day > To fans of both Witcher books and games.....

(+) Yeah! (+)

Did you find Witcher II and III more enjoyable after reading the books or it made no difference? I am aware the games take place after the books.

I watched the Netflix Witcher series while playing the latter half of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. Being more familiar with the characters made understanding the conversations in the game easier to understand and appreciate for me.

I am sure both Witcher II and III are great games on their own without outside material but did reading the books made the experience more enjoyable for you or no difference?

Comments and opinions are appreciated,

Thank you

I loved the Witcher 3, and then I read the books after. I'm not a book reader, so knowing the characters already and being able to visualize them made it easier for me to enjoy the books.

Edit: I also tried playing the Witcher 1 when it first came out and thought it was trash in terms of gameplay and still do. Don't know anything about the second game

I don't think anybody is actually a fan of the books

The first Witcher is clunky but it's a pretty good game once you get a feel for it

---

The books are kinda bad. I don't really think Wild Hunt was anything special it just came out at a slow time

I played the 3 Witcher in chronological order, and I thought Witcher 1 was the best in terms of gameplay and story.

Witcher 2 had a good story but had Witcher 3 gameplay but terribly dumbed down.

Witcher 3's main story is garbage

both of the first two books (the short story collections) are great fun, and then once you get into next 5 (the novel series) its a bit slow until 3/4 into the 2nd novel (4th book overall), and then they are great from there in my mind

The only one I can't give an opinion on is the... well I guess it's a prequel... book, season of storms, which I have a hardcover of but never had the time to read.

Only read the short stories, and never played the games, but the short stories were entertaining enough.

Thank you for the responses and input.

I am bit concern of running into a snag like this. I read some of the Ender's Game series and by the third or fourth book, was not sure about continuing the series.
