That stuff IS the Witcher series. Apart form the great characters and some good quests.

Of course it is. Even on easy it was challenging at times, I'm kinda scarred of what will become of me if any game studio ever get all the physics correct!

Are they basing it off of any particular game in the series?

I can only guess that it's either The Witcher or Witcher 3.

Hopefully the original it had a decent story.

Are they basing them on the games or the original novels by Andrzej Sapkowski? Perhaps a bit of a mix...

This will be interesting. I've read a couple of the books, and they're pretty good!

I think novels would be the best source for episodes. Now it depends on how many episodes and how long the episodes.

At this point, I will be surprised if we don't see BTC jumping back up again starting around Thanksgiving or so like it did last year.

Serbia and Kosovo were on the cusp of peace, but appear to have given in to "drama" instead.
