Vampires.
 Lots and lots of Vampires.
As originally shown in the "A Night to Remember" trailer.

Damn, I am so ready for this expansion to come out.
I'm guessing they won't, but I'd love it if they set it after the events of the main game as an epilogue of sorts. |

I'll have to learn to play it all over again.
The base game was one of the best I ever played, and the hearts of stone expansion really delivered a whole other fantastic story that could have stood as a separate entry in the series. Needless to say I have high hopes for blood and wine, and don't expect I will be disappointed. |

It looks like the cover art has finally been released. After playing HofS I can't wait to see how CDPR blows me away again.

I own the first two and never played them except a little of the first near the beginning. Are they really worth it, or should I just skip to 3?

I guess it kinda depends on how much you like stories in your game. If the narrative is a big deal to you, you'll be a bit lost because they are all pretty heavily connected. That said, the first game has...not aged well, IMO. Plus, by the third game not many of the choices you make will carry over. So personally, I'd recommend that you just find a synopsis video on YouTube to get the gist of the world and the story. And read THIS primer; it's a decent intro. The second game aged a lot better and is a good enough game to be worth playing in its own right, IMO. A lot of choices you make in that game will have impacts on the 3rd game in some ways, though none are going to effect the ending or anything similarly major. Again however, you could watch a synopsis on YouTube and probably not be totally lost. On the other hand, if you don't care about story and just want to kill some shit, just hop into 3. |

If you read the books and play the Witcher 2 (and obviously the Witcher 3
 ) you'll have a heck of an experience. There are many many references in the TW3 from the books that will go right over your head if you don't know. The books are entertaining too so I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to read them purely for entertainment.
The Witcher 1 is very difficult to get through these days as it indeed has not aged well. It still looks okay and the music is good but other than that it feels so foreign compared to TW2 and TW3. I'd recommend finding a good synopsis for it. TW2 should definitely be played as it has held up extremely well. |

The Sword of Destiny - I haven't read this one all the way through yet, I started but got busy. 3. Blood of Elves 4. The Time of Contempt 5. Baptism of Fire 6. The Tower of Swallows - not yet released in the English speaking markets but should be shortly - I bound my own fan translation -> book binding is harder than it sounds.
7. The Lady of the lake - Not yet released in the English speaking market but I purchased a fan translated copy. -> chose not to bind this one

I just got a 2.5GB update. It broke my modded install so I'm reinstalling now, and I hope my save files still work.
Also, does anyone know if this will be a midnight release? And when is this DLC supposed to take place? After or before the end of the main game? |

According to some articles I have read, this is meant to be Garelt's final quest. I've seen the same. Final quest, probably set sometime after the main game. However, apparently they don't actually specify exactly where in the timeline it is so the exact place in the story is left fuzzy. |

I played B&W for about an hour last night after it downloaded. I like the stark contrast in landscape between it and the vanilla game... all those hyper saturated colors. I also like that they've found their pun dictionary again.
I'm not sold on the slightly changed UI yet. They didn't move a lot, but they moved enough to notice it. |

I'm somewhat disappointed with the general lack of characters from the main game. I get that they wanted a thematic break with the dreary base game, but not having staples that have been fleshed out over the last several dozen hours like Ciri, Yen, Triss, Roche, etc in favor of an almost entirely new cast of characters, no matter how well done, kinda irks me. This was supposed to be the last romp for Geralt and co., yet he's the only one there. I guess I was hoping for more of a Mass Effect 3 Citadel feel.
I still think it's a fantastic piece of content though. |

I always assume the supporting characters are absent from the DLC package stories because you can play them at any time during the main game, and the main game sees some of them come and go.
I guess I'm taking the main game to be Geralt's last story and these side stories to simply be "things that happened during that story" rather than some sort of additional or "epilogue" story. |
