So I am doing some research into the witcher as a whole before I get the books and to help understand the series more I've found that it takes place before any of the games to get a truer understanding behind it all which I love as someone who has only played a bit of the second and the third one repeatedly but never the first although I hope to change that one day and play all three through to the fullest anyway it seems so far from what I have read it only has divulged from the books slightly in areas some bits would of been good to still leave in but you are getting the main understanding of it all from what I can see such divulges are things like during a episode where Geralt is fishing (all you're getting to not ruin any of it) there is a phrase or sentence that Geralt says in the book that isn't in the show but you still get the gist although personally I would of found it funnier to keep it in also from what I have read about the lore mostly surrounding Geralt there is A LOT of stuff yet to come that is very interesting and exciting that goes into more detail about the whole concept of the witchers themselves the process they go through to become one I hope will be a part of it e.g. a better understanding of Trail of the Grasses and Geralts extra Mutagens that he goes through that turns his hair white as a side effect plus what he has endured and the meeting of new and exiting people he gets to meet and from interviews I have watched they will also be doing "side quests" to give a more authentic feel of him being a witcher as a whole I cannot wait.

I will give a more in-depth review later after more research and watching it a couple more times.
