REmember that it's vital to play them in order, as the plot of the first game directly influences the plot of the second, by allowing you to import your save files from the first game, so it can apply your decisions and their consequences to the sequel.

Intro to the first game. If you've read the books you'll probably recognize this 8-minute intro.

BEWARE spoilers in the related videos to the right! I didn't see any major ones in the titles and thumbnails, but I'd strongly advise against actually viewing any of them. The Witcher games are deeply story driven, and the spoilers in the videos would ruin a large part of the enjoyment of playing the games.
Thanks! That intro was pretty impressive, and quite true to the text. Are the graphics in the game as good as in that video?
