Despite lustily) scarred face. Where to begin? This video will help. And no, it’s not about witches.
ShoddyCast, they of the excellent Fallout lore video series, have put together a primer for The Witcher exploring the ins and outs of its dingy, mutant-packed take on dark fantasy. It’s a bit lengthy, but it’s substantially more entertaining than reading a pile of Wikipedia entries about stories that span video games and books. You’ll even find out what a witcher is (hint: still not a witch).
For people who’ve played the other Witcher games, the video delves into some of the series’ histories and the origins of forces like magic. It’s worth a watch as a refresher, if nothing else. It does not, however, explore the origins of the magical force that is Geralt’s new beard, but I suppose we shouldn’t open all our Christmas presents before the big day.
Now then, five more months to go until Witcher 3. Can anyone brew a witcher potion that gives me a weeks-long bonus to patience?

Oh I love ShoddyCast’s Fallout videos, will have to give this a watch!
Their series on Dragon Age lore are quite well done as well
