A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I don't think it actually matters for the Witcher series. They don't tend to dwell too much on the events of the previous game.
I assumed that Yen was something from the Witcher 2 (that I skipped), but I don't think she's in that at all. If anything it relies more on the books for the backstory of each game.
Witcher 1 is a very odd game, gameplay-wise, that makes more sense when you realise it was initially some top down D&D game. It's just presented as a regular 3rd person game that we now expect to play somewhat differently, rather than the odd "click the mouse at the right moment" system they went with. It's worth it just for the story. Just turn down the difficulty as it's really not worth struggling with, although for me the hardest boss in the game was a dog near the start.
Yeah I kinda realized the same thing. I might not know everything but witcher 3 with no extra information has been great and I havent felt like I don't know enough to enjoy the lore
