   Following that guide will give u a ridiculous FPS boost, removing the grass and foliage. It's unsightly anyway, the game looks surprisingly good if you take out the plug in grass.

   Watch that. You need to set the game to 30fps and vsync.
   
   You'll need to go into the configs and lower the cascading shadows to .5, that will help. Let me see here..
   
   Your CPU is going to set you back.

   Shadow Quality Tweaks
   
   As mentioned earlier, Shadow Quality modifies a ton of values, but its in-game maximums are limited. Via the config file, we can take full control of these many values and crank them way up, far beyond their 'Ultra' levels. Alternatively, one could edit them to retain 'Ultra' shadows, but with a reduced Foliage Shadow value to improve performance, for example.
   
   Here's an overview of Shadow Quality's settings and how you can manipulate them for improved shadow fidelity:
   
   [Rendering]
   
   CascadeShadowFadeTreshold= [Ultra Value: 1] - (.5)Decrease the value to improve the maximum view distance of shadows
   
   CascadeShadowDistanceScale0= [Ultra Value: 1] - (.5) Increase the value to improve the quality of close-range shadows
   
   CascadeShadowDistanceScale1= [Ultra Value: 1] - (.5) Increase the value to improve the quality and visibility of close and medium-range shadows
   
   CascadeShadowDistanceScale2= [Ultra Value: 1.5] - (.5)Increase the value to improve the quality and visibility of distant shadows
   
   MaxTerrainShadowAtlasCount= [Ultra Value: 4] -(1) Increase the value to potentially improve the quality of terrain shadows
   
   CascadeShadowmapSize= [Ultra Value: 3072] - (512) Increase the value to slightly improve the fidelity of shadows
   
   CascadeShadowQuality= [Ultra Value: 1] - Increase the value to slightly improve the fidelity of shadows
   
   Foliage shadows are linked to the in-game Foliage Visibility Range setting, but can be independently modified in the config file for greater control of fidelity and performance.
   
   [Rendering]
   
   TextureStreamingCharacterDistanceLimit= [Default Value: 50] (25)
   
   TextureStreamingHeadsDistanceLimit= [Default Value: 10] (5)
   
   TextureStreamingDistanceLimit= [Default Value: 40000] (500)
   
   Best I can do! Have fun, good luck! It's optimized but it's render stuff on the other side of the planet.
   
   IT's hard to go below 720p because of the compression, try 640!

Anthropology and The Witcher? Fascinating! I love Anthropology, folklore, history, and mythology. Another thing you could discuss are the culture ideas of certain monster contracts, like In the Heart of the Woods, how the Leshen can either be acknowledged as a protective forest spirit or a malicious beast killing whoever it can that enters its territory.

Religion could also be discussed as it is also very important to cultures both in real life and in the world of the Witcher...speaking of which, I highly recommend you acquire this book: https://www.amazon.com/World-Witcher-Video-Game-Compendium/dp/1616554827/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I bought it several months ago and it's been a great and fascinating read and may help you a great deal! Good luck on the Path.

Hey /u/vipr9, /u/sabien, you should both read more books! They're great, and reading virtually anything makes you smarter, the same way that picking up heavy shit makes you stronger.

I've never been to /r/books, but it looks like a quality sub. I guarantee if you make a post saying "I stopped reading for fun in middle school, help me get back into it" and mention that you love the Witcher series, people would recommend stuff that will blow you away.

I haven't read the Witcher books, and I'm only about 20 hours into Witcher 3, but I think you both would love The Name of The Wind. $6.27 on Amazon!

Everybody should read more books. Me, you, everybody.

Sure, a couple notes while I'm downloading BaW :)

The book order is thus:

The Last Wish

Sword of Destiny

Blood of Elves

The Time of Contempt

Baptism of Fire

The Tower of the Swallows

The Lady of the Lake

There's no official english translation of the last book yet, but the one I've linked is the best fan translation I've found. It's the one I read, and I honestly would have had no idea it wasn't a "real" edition if I didn't know better. Fantastic work.

There's also A Season of Storms, which is sort of a midquel for the series. But it was written in the last two years, has no bearing on any of the game's canon, and contain some minor potential spoilers for later books since he expected his readers had finished the series at this point. I recommend you ignore it for now, and if you decide you want to read it down the road pick it up after the series.

The first two books are a short story collections. The series is in chronological order, but the actual novel arc doesn't begin until the third book. Definitely don't skip the first two though, they set up important characters and events in Geralt's life prior to the novel arc beginning.

Lastly, if you really can't be bothered to spend a bit on the amazon paperbacks here's a link to all of them in epub format. I can't vouch for the quality of the fan translations in this pack, nor do I recommend this format. Buying the books supports the author and reading a book is still easier than reading on a tablet in my opinion.

Good luck on your journey into the Witcher!

P.S. - Oh, here is the Witcher 1 recap video I mentioned. DO NOT WATCH THIS until after you finish the books. It will spoil the climax of the series and ruin your reading. You can buy the game dirt cheap if you can handle a playthrough on PC, but you really won't miss a ton of important info if you skip it. I don't want to spoil the end of the books either, but essentially the second and third game don't rely on the first one at all aside from knowing cursory details of the first game.

I have an insanely thick beard. It blows my mind when people say their beard is itchy. Use...beard...care...products.

​

Imagine if you just kept growing your hair out and NEVER washed it or conditioned it? Gee, I wonder if it would get itchy?! Treat your beard the same way. All it takes is a 12 dollar beard soap. Your beard will feel like a soft pillow afterwards.

​

Edit: Since people are asking what I use, here's my 2 primary beard care products. I don't really believe in beard oil. I think it's a total waste of money. This soap from mountaineer brand is all you need to keep your beard extremely soft. As long as you take care of the skin underneath the hair, you're good to go.

https://www.amazon.com/Beard-Mountaineer-Brand-All-Natural-Shampoo/dp/B00UCPWI12/ref=pd_bap_rp_18?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D06D7JE9QRHTBMS4BJFK

In terms of styling and conditioning, I use the Cremo brand, specifically made for thick wild beards like mine. It gives you incredible shape and hold. It lasts all day, and it conditions the skin if you're using it correctly. Always start by applying it on your skin, then working your way down the hair. Not the other way around.

https://www.amazon.com/Cremo-Styling-Beard-Cream-Thickening/dp/B07MYF6JHY/ref=pd_bap_rp_5/137-7952774-8329336?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07MYF6JHY&pd_rd_r=38604cd8-1e5e-48b6-8e90-2facc0c1f6b3&pd_rd_w=Avrrz&pd_rd_wg=1vaim&pf_rd_p=63f770a6-6001-4362-87aa-6d0163bfc0c7&pf_rd_r=4Z78A0TB5A2BE5AADHDP&psc=1&refRID=4Z78A0TB5A2BE5AADHDP

​

Also, a thick boar hair brush will make all the difference when styling your beard. A regular comb is going to rip your hairs out and give you a patchy beard.

​

​

Now if we're talking luxury products, beard baron is the way to go. That guy beards...hard. The scents that he comes up with are magical. Normally I don't fall for the "luxury" bullshit, but his stuff is true quality. He also has great tutorial videos on how to upkeep your beard.

Anyway....I'm not sponsored by any of these companies. But now that I'm thinking about it, I probably should be lol. Hope that helps you guys!

The fan translations get the story across, but they're not error-free. At points, though, they do capture the spirit of Sapkowski's original prose even better than the professional translations, but the latter are still overall better and more enjoyable to read.

You can order the official translations from most online bookstores, like Amazon. The set behind the link has the first six books, meaning The Lady of the Lake and Season of Storms (when it comes out in about three months) need to be separately purchased.

You could get this instead of the strategy guide. I own it and can vouch that it has a very well made and detailed beastiery but it is more focused on lore than specifics so idk how useful it would be for playing a tabletop RPG. It also has information about the different kingdoms, religions, and much more. Best part about it is that the whole book is supposed to be written by Dandelion and other characters. The section on Witchers is by Vesemir and the beastiary section by Geralt, etc.

Ok, so your response was a little confusing, but after a bit of homework, it's become more clear: Danusia is the translator for my copy as well, and that's fine - I'm only a few pages in, it may very well get better later on. She was responsible for TLW and Blood of Elves. But apparently after the first two, she stepped down and Mr. French took her place for Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire, along with presumably any future translations.

It sounds like you've been enjoying the full series quite a bit, regardless of translator. What is your opinion of French's work, and does it detract at all compared to Stok?

None, from what I can tell. The differences are that the publishers give different covers, letter size and book size. The issue seems to be with the translator, because for The Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire, which I own (The ToC is from Orbit and BoF from Gollancz), have the same translator. David French is his name.

Now if you wish for a good translation for The Last Wish and maybe also from Blood of Elves, pick the one from Danusia Stok (Orbit). Which in my opinion was an excellent read. Here are the links:

• The Last Wish: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXU5E7K/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• Blood of Elves: http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Elves-Andrzej-Sapkowski/dp/031602919X/ref=tmm_mmp_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=&qid=
  
  Now, I tell you this because I've been reading the books non-stop since I bought them the other day and they are great!

Well, I don't know about wrap up covers, but the UK version of the books are pretty decent. You can find them on Amazon as well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Wish-Andrzej-Sapkowski/dp/0575082445

Up close it looks pixelated but it's not meant to be viewed from a single meter away. For fourteen bucks it's a pretty good deal. I'm thinking of buying one of those cheap IKEA shelves to put right below the poster for all the Witcher books and the statue that arrives with the Collector's Edition.

Purchased from here: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PHDYCOU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ordered it yesterday on amazon.de for only 12,- including free delivery :)

https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/0744017211/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1475183431&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=Witcher+3+Guide&dpPl=1&dpID=51c7Rwd6DmL&ref=plSrch

I don't know if you live in eu otherwise this might be interesting for you.

Yeah there are 3 different series they did. The art is fantastic, as are the stories. You can get the collection books where they put all the comics in a series into one book. I'd recommend getting them in physical form from Amazon. Here: Witcher Volume 1, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1616554746/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cMLbAb16ZHCF1 Witcher Volume 2, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1616557931/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eNLbAbH3ZAFP8 Witcher Volume 3, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1506701612/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4NLbAbGDJ125D

If you really want to start from the very beginning, read the books first:

https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/wiki/index#wiki_books
https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/3qm8p9/so_you_want_to_read_the_witcher_books_guide/

There's also the compendium: http://www.amazon.com/World-Witcher-CD-Projekt-Red/dp/1616554827 -- which is chock-full of information to help you navigate the universe and the lore.

But you can play the games first, that's what I did, though I feel like I missed quite a bit of the backstory and the references. I played TW1 in 2014, TW2 in 2015, and just finished TW3 this month after playing for five months. And I started reading the books three months ago. You can jump into any game and enjoy it, but if you want my advice, start with the books and then work through the games. It's worth it.

I'll post links so you can get an idea of what they're about. Apologies, I'm a bit tired, otherwise I would give you a rough synopsis myself

If you're looking for some good fantasy books I'd highly recommend the following:
1.) The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss - http://www.amazon.com/Name-Wind-Kingkiller-Chronicle/dp/0756404746

2.) Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence - http://www.amazon.com/Prince-Thorns-Broken-Empire-Lawrence/dp/1937007685

3.) Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson - http://www.amazon.com/Gardens-Moon-Malazan-Book-Fallen/dp/0765348780/ref=pd_sim_14_12?ie=UTF8&dpID=51pDraZRUIL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR99%2C160_&refRID=1H0ZZ7MYMYZGKGQMEKTW

This next one has some fantasy elements, however, it's hard to pigeonhole into an exact genre (low fantasy adventure?), nonetheless, it's one of the better books that I've read recently.

4.) The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastards) by Scott Lynch
http://www.amazon.com/Lies-Locke-Lamora-Gentleman-Bastards/dp/055358894X/ref=pd_sim_14_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=51tpIK8K%2BtL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR98%2C160_&refRID=1H0ZZ7MYMYZGKGQMEKTW

5.) The Way of Shadows: The Night Angel Trilogy: Book 1 by Brent Weeks -
http://www.amazon.com/Way-Shadows-Night-Angel-Trilogy/dp/0316033677/ref=pd_sim_14_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51tPZPp5dsL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR93%2C160_&refRID=1WERAT21ARWMVZN12V2P

(All books mentioned are the 1st novel of a larger series. If you're already aware and/or read these already than disregard, trying to pass along some great books for anyone who might come across my post)

Here ya go, I'd expect more hard covers like this with show stuff on it but a nice collector's edition would be cool

Here is them on Amazon in English, where they are really expensive. But, I'd recommend trying a site like eBay beforehand, I got mine there in Polish for only $10.

They come with all the standard cards for Nilfgaard and the Northern Realms and their leaders as well as non faction cards, such as Geralt and the weather cards.

i got mine from this ebay seller, when it was on discount. The delivery costs can be pretty high though depending on where you live

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Andrzej-Sapkowski-Witcher-Series-8-Books-Collection-Set-Season-Storms-NEW-/273830132540?hash=item3fc18c3b3c

You can also get it on amazon if you live in a area where they deliver. you do need to get season of storms seperately if you want that one as well.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Witcher-Andrzej-Sapkowski-Books-Collection/dp/912359795X

If you're interested, here's the chronollogical order of the books (with links to buy them on Amazon):

1. The Last Wish
   
2. Sword of Destiny
   
3. Blood of Elves
   
4. Time of Contempt
   
5. Baptism of Fire
   
6. Tower of Swallows
   
7. Lady of the Lake
   
   --------
   
   Season of Storms is an upcoming book set in between the short stories of The Last Wish. It will be released in English on March 2018.

Give "The Last Wish" a go, if the first couple of short stories about the White Wolf don't grab you, so be it and have a good day sir :) but it might just make a reader of you yet ;)
Going for peanuts on Amazon

Amazon has The Last Wish in full size paperback. I ordered it, also saw a Blood of Elves full size paperback. But it wasn't prime.

The Last Wish:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316438960/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1505528345357

Blood of Elves (have to click the new and used link. A few are selling new.):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXU5EPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1505528508822

This might already be happening. A "special edition" re-release of TLW has been scheduled for September for some time now. Amazon lists it as a regular paperback, not a mass market paperback like the older edition. So if they reprint BoE next, the whole series will at least be in the large print edition.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316438960/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_twi_pap_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1495462186&sr=8-1&keywords=witcher+the+last+wish

Here's The Witcher Library Edition Volume 1 on Amazon. I recommend going to a bookstore for the other books though, to be sure you can get them all matching. If you are into that anyways. If not, they have this set and you'll also have to get Season of Storms if you want them all.

As mentioned in the title I got them as a gift. But just searching witcher book series online gives me results similar to the books I got as a gift. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/Witcher-Andrzej-Sapkowski-Collection-Baptism/dp/912359795X

Preordered on Amazon (I live in the US). I don't usually preorder things, but the art style of the Witcher games is a big inspiration for my own art, so I can't wait to get my hands on this.

Imo this fits perfectly TW3 theme.

Agreed..... both can be had for $10.18 USD.... get both, and enjoy the updates, they enhance the game greatly. you will not regret your decision to get the game.... though you may regret decisions made in the games.

Also... get the books... The fan translations and the ones on kindle/amazon (The Last Wish, Blood of Elves, The Time of Contempt )

For the correct order in which to read:
Witcher Wiki

There's an additional 32 pages in the "Surviving As A Witcher" portion of the guide, an additional intro section entitled "Gwent: A Game of Cards" (goes over game basics and all cards), etc.
As for Main Game content, it seems to be exactly the same. What I meant by being more in depth (poor word choice really) was that it had more content and delved deeper into the game in regards to the DLC. Unfortunately, the entire art section from the C.E. release is gone.

""Amazon 3rd parties have them starting at $19 + $3.99 shipping." Is that the hardback edt.?" Yeah... here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0744017211/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1472796629&sr=8-1

You're probably thinking of the UK versions, the only thing is that P&P might cost a bit.

Edit: All of the Witcher books, apart from lady of the lake and season of storms, are available with the better covers

>THE VOICE OF REASON 1
>
>She came to him towards morning. She entered very carefully, moving silently, floating through the chamber like a phantom; the only sound was that of her mantle brushing her naked skin. Yet this faint sound was enough to wake the witcher – or maybe it only tore him from the half-slumber in which he rocked monotonously, as though travelling through fathomless depths, suspended between the sea bed and its calm surface amidst gently undulating strands of seaweed.
>
>He did not move, did not stir. The girl flitted closer, threw off her mantle and slowly, hesitantly, rested her knee on the edge of the large bed. He observed her through lowered lashes, still not betraying his wakefulness. The girl carefully climbed onto the bedclothes, and onto him, wrapping her thighs around him. Leaning forward on straining arms, she brushed his face with hair which smelt of chamomile. Determined, and as if impatient, she leant over and touched his eyelids, cheeks, lips with the tips of her breasts. He smiled, very slowly, delicately, grasping her by the shoulders, and she straightened, escaping his fingers. She was radiant, luminous in the misty brilliance of dawn. He moved, but with pressure from both hands, she forbade him to change position and, with a light but decisive movement of her hips, demanded a response.
>
> He responded. She no longer backed away from his hands; she threw her head back, shook her hair. Her skin was cool and surprisingly smooth. Her eyes, glimpsed when her face came close to his, were huge and dark as the eyes of a water nymph. Rocked, he sank into a sea of chamomile as it grew agitated and seethed.

Ugh.. forget it. This will take forever. The rest is here: https://www.amazon.com/Last-Wish-Introducing-Witcher/dp/0316029181 and then there's more.

Yes, ordered them from here on the 7th if you live in the UK. If you live somewhere else they might be different dimensions.

If you looking for an answer for your teacher to defend your work you could say "witcher" is a neologism (new word) created for a fantasy work just like the word "hobbit" was once.

You could add this link:

https://www.amazon.com/Last-Wish-Introducing-Witcher/dp/0316029181

... to show the word passed revision by professional editors.

All released Witcher comics are being released in this beautiful oversized hardcover this week.

This includes the “Killing Monsters” story only previously released as game pre-order bonus.

Still waiting to hear if Blood of Elves is going to be released by itself or just only in the box set, coming out in October

I was able to find it at a Barnes and Noble a few days after it was released. But in case that isn't possible, you can find BoF right here:

http://www.amazon.com/Baptism-Fire-Witcher-Andrzej-Sapkowski/dp/0316219185/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411914842&sr=8-1&keywords=Baptism+of+fire

it will be for sure available in book stores for now I found it only on Amazon you can also pre-order on amazon.co.uk: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Witcher-3-Curse-Crows/dp/1506701612/ or amazon.de: https://www.amazon.de/Witcher-3-Curse-Crows/dp/1506701612/

Really? What about this one? Could you play a game with this set?

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Pair of Blood & Wine Expansion Gwent Card Decks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MT41NJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7OrEybRPPDJBE

UK book covers look a bit nicer IMO

This one

I really like them too :D

If you plan on buying it, there was a version for almost 10€ cheaper 3 days ago so you might wanna have a look for that though

Got them individually off of Amazon Prime:

Knowing where you are from would certainly improve finding the answer to your problem.

Looks like these come with a Gwent guide.

1. Eight, the first one you should start with is The Last Wish.
   
2. Depends on how fast you read. For me it takes about a month to finish one book, but others read books in matter of days.
   
3. There are some misinformation in the translated versions, but in the end they serve the purpose.
   
   I'd also like to add if you're in the EU, you can actually get the first 7 books for £25.

It's already up for pre-order on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Last-Wish-Introducing-Witcher/dp/0316497541/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=witcher+hardcover&qid=1573693477&sr=8-1

If you want to know about witchers and world in general then read this and this first


If you want to know more about events and characters present in games (Ciri, Zoltan, journey mentions in B&W) read Witcher saga from Blood of the Eles onward as said here

Well, I know the Curse of Crows collection comes out May 23rd. I'm not sure if that's worldwide or not.

Get them off Amazon UK

Geralt and Triss met in the last story of The Last Wish, which chronicles the first batch of the Witcher's stories.

I recently bought one of the newest reprints for Blood of Elves and on the back it said it was coming on December 2012.

Amazon also has it for pre-order with the release date set to December 4, 2012.

Isn't the translated Baptism of Fire already out?

I believe you need to buy the set and then the other two separately. The set is here and then the other two are here and here.

The number of ad personam remarks in this reply makes me doubt you finished your teenage times, at least when it comes to mental maturity.


I will show you the same thing as to the person below, it's a representative number of The Last Wish books sold in an international shop over Amazon.

Guess what? After the release of games, the sales increased from fivefold to tenfold, when compared to the peak sales from earlier years. When you compare it to the number of sales in 2014, your argument becomes laughtable.

Got them on Amazon - Andrzej Sapkowski Witcher Series Collection 7 Books Box Set (The Last Wish, Sword of Destiny, Blood of Elves, Time of Contempt, Baptism of Fire) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/912359795X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_e0krDb0SJ89SK

Yeah, bought the whole series on Amazon.

i got these versions since i dont speak other languages except for all the bad stuff in polish :P

[I've only read/listened (to) the English versions ](The Last Wish: Introducing The Witcher https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316029181/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XGzrybQ2VD8CD). I really don't think you're gonna make a bad choice though. And I wouldn't be surprised if Sapkowski did say that.

You can get the European print paperbacks. They have darker coloured and considerably less flashy covers than the US ones. Finding them locally might be a bit of a pain if you're in Canada or the US, but if the covers are a major enough point of contention for you, they can be bough off Amazon UK.

Curse of the Crows. Post(?) TW3 graphic novel. Previously only in digital for, this is the printed release.
