i have only caught blike... large bits and pieces of the second game and also played the beginning of the 3 game myself (tho not for long) and legit just
i kinda also figured the witcher was really just.. male wet fantasy (not that i have a problem with that cause i get it in a way) but honestly i keep being like... pleasantly made wrong and its been nice
what i also love is like... the characters arent reoccuring, but cycling??? like.... they come in, they matter, they depart, they return and continue to matter, but in their own weaving of the plot that helps build everything......
