Cavill as young Geralt from Crossroads of Ravens (Beware: AI!)
I usually despise AI and the Netflix adaption but am grateful for Cavill's depiction of the character, which, in turn, made me read the books. And what a ride that was.
Starting Crossroads of Ravens tonight after finishing all other books last week and stumbled randomly upon this image while browsing.

Who break the curse?
This quest is a little scary but can have a beautiful end.
Who save her and bring her to live in corvo Bianco, that is my second playthrough and I decide to bring her to live in Corvo Bianco, and that was so kind of Geralt!

Is it necessary to complete most/all side quests in The Witcher 2?
The game is pretty brutal early on, so I’m not sure whether skipping some side quests from time to time—especially the boring ones like “kill X monsters”—and focusing more on the main story could leave me underleveled at some point in a way that’s hard to recover from. Or do side quests just not give enough XP to really be worth doing if my main goal is leveling up? I know that in modern games this kind of thing is usually balanced, but I’m not sure if that’s the case here as well.
I’m also wondering about this because I know the game splits into two paths in Act 2. If doing side quests is important to stay properly leveled, having to clear most of them across what is basically 5 acts total (Act 1 + two versions of Acts 2 and 3) sounds kind of exhausting and longer than I’d like.
That said, I’m definitely interested in most side quests that have actual dialogue and choices, since those at least seem more engaging and meaningful. I’ve done a few side quests already and I actually liked them.

Beauty of TW1 [2007]
I know I’m late to the party — almost 19 years late — but I’d heard so many bad things about The Witcher 1 that now that I’ve finally dug into it, I’m honestly impressed by how insane this game was for its time.
It’s obviously not the best game in the world. In fact, I dropped it the first time I tried playing it and went online looking for validation, just to reinforce the negative opinion I already had. That’s when I noticed a ton of people asking whether it was worth trying, only to be met with waves of replies telling them not to touch that game with a ten-foot pole. The hostility was so over the top that it actually made me rethink a few things about the community.
Anyway, I rage-quit the game a while back and don’t even remember why. Since I’d already started reading some of the books, I decided to actually commit and ended up finishing them all pretty quickly, partly because of the bad taste the game had left me with. After that, I came back to the game — and now I’m loving it. I’m pretty far into Chapter V, and knowing it’s the last one and that the epilogue is fairly short, I assume I’m on the home stretch. It’s kind of a shame how many people miss out on “older” games (not even that old in this case) just because of the opinions of a few loud voices.
I guess they’ll have to wait for the remake, but I mainly wanted to share how visually gorgeous Chapter IV was, with one screenshot from V. It honestly made pushing through the clunky, painful gameplay worth it, and I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to optimize and design something like that back then. Hopefully The Witcher 2 keeps that momentum going, because I know The Witcher 3, at least visually, is absolutely insane.
