Finished the witcher. I liked it a fair amount.Yeah there's a lot of stuff the show doesn't explain well at all. I get the need to have a prologue but jumping around so much like that and not giving enough details was kinda weird. Hopefully from season 2 on it'll be a bit more normal.
I was really confused by the law of suprise stuff. I can only imagine how confused non players/readers would be in other episodes as well.
