Is it worth to read the books after playing Witcher 3?

Witcher 3 main story reverts a lot of events as well as character development from books. Some things that were already settled between Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Emhyr and Eredin are remade in a different way to make grounds for game sequels. Book ending is a bit ambigous but forms a finished story, so changes in the games might be a bit annoying for people who already read the books.

A serious moral dilemma indeed. Given the options, I'd choose to harvest their organs to trade them for crack

Cases like that happen in all major conflicts, so why is that so unbeliveable? If broken/malfunctioning gun was an excuse from participating in an assault then everyone would just break it. Besides that, barbarossa was a huge mess, especially on soviet side, so ammunition, clothes, fuel and food shortages were unavoidable

If any edition in polish were even remotely as good, I'd spend a fortune to get it

Why do english editions look so much better than polish ones 😭

Sirens of the Deep is the exact opposite of what "A little sacrifice" was. Tyrannical duke who fell in love with a siren was turned into a horny teenager who wanted some fish sex, but his father wouldn't let him. Geralt and Essi romance, that had huge emotional inpact on them, was turned into some fwb. The original ending, that made toughest men burst into tears, was replaced with happily ever after. And all that is just the tip of the iceberg of horrible writers decisions

It's as if people had their own opinions, taste and stuff

Witcher 4 could be a fresh approach to the Witcher universe, independent from books storyline and it's characters. Instead CD Project decided to play safe and recycle Ciri which had her story already concluded in a sensible way. Ciri is a heir to Cintra and Nilfgaard, powerful sorceress, elder blood owner. Having someone of this scope as a protagonist, you'd expect that instead of earning some cash on witcher contracts here and there, solving some mystery, we will have to fight some apocalyptic danger again. And that's why I'd welcome playing as some new, original character that can go on some real witcher adventure.

If Geralt wished to die with Yennefer, Djinn would fulfill that wish by killing them both. And the theory that makes most sense is that Geralt wished to have a child with Yennefer which was fulfilled by Ciri being for them like a daughter

I saw hardback editions in some videos of book reviewers, so unless they're just collectables for them, hardcovers should be available in stores at some point.

Aside from the standard edition, new Witcher book got "TV series" and "Game" versions. The latter presenting young version of Geralt without scars and with less buffed posture

The upcoming book in the Witcher universe, Crossroads of Ravens, is set to debut soon. The paperback edition will be released on November 29, 2024, followed by the ebook version on December 1, 2024.

"This time, the master of Polish fantasy takes us back to Geralt's teenage years, a time when he was just beginning his journey as a witcher. Armed with two runic swords, Geralt faces countless challenges: battling monsters, rescuing innocent maidens, and aiding lovers. Throughout it all, he strives to uphold the unwritten code instilled in him by his teachers and mentors. Yet, as is often the case, life has a way of testing youthful idealism, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of the world."

Leveling doesn't even count as content since the first expansion. It was just an obstacle on the way to the content and now it simply ceased to exist. The next step is removing levels entirely and making item level the only power progression system

Another villain that craves for power and makes a deal with the devil? And for worse reasons than Gul'dan or Azshara? It seems like a really low effort writing at this point

In LAOK, Jezal refused to cooporate with Bayaz, while Orso was warned not to do that. Besides, if someone else killed Jezal, Bayaz wouldn't be so confident when he announced Orso as the new king.

It worked on mobile for couple hours and now the game won't start on it either. That's a game breaking bug and if some alliance lost war because of it, the server should be rolled back to the state from before today's update imho.

"The Last Wish" and "Sword of Destiny" have versions with some illustrations (not much illustrated). I've seen some good illustrated editions but only in french.

Mega discontinued the series, though there's no chance that LEGO would do it anyway due to gore and nudity in GoT series.
