The Witcher 3's two DLC plots had nothing to do with the original novel.
Geralt's adventure unfolded in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Geralt's identity and background in the story was a profession called "Demon Hunter". They were responsible for destroying all kinds of monsters and magical creatures. The two main storyline characters," Demon Hunter " and " Blood and Wine," respectively described the different challenges Geralt and his friends faced in different situations. These challenges had nothing to do with the plot of the original novel.
In the storyline,"Demon Hunter", Geralt and his friends were forced to go to a place called "Dark Forest", which was full of mysterious magic and dangerous creatures. This area had nothing to do with the original plot, and the storyline "Blood and Wine" told the story of Geralt and his friends communicating with other wizards and monsters in the tavern. These stories had nothing to do with the original plot.
The Witcher is indeed a novel. It has gained significant popularity and has a devoted fan base. The novels have complex characters and engaging storylines.
We can expect new adventures of Geralt. Maybe there will be new monsters for him to fight, and new characters to interact with. It could also explore different regions of the Witcher world that haven't been fully covered before.
Well, in Witcher 3 New Game Plus for swords, they can be more powerful. You could have already upgraded them in your first play and now they start off even better. Regarding the story, it's like reliving an old adventure but with a fresh pair of eyes. The choices you made before still matter and can lead to different outcomes this time around. It adds a whole new layer of depth to the gameplay and makes you feel like you're really part of the Witcher world all over again.
One major difference is the pacing. In the game, you have more control over the speed at which you progress through the story, while in the novel, the author dictates the pacing. Also, the game has visual and audio elements that enhance the experience, which the novel doesn't have.
