The lore is such a nice breath of fresh air from the common western fantasy stuff, since it's all eastern european folklore-based. Tons of shit to do, lots of meaningful choices, great characters.
I'd say though, you should try to find a short recap of the first two games to bring you up to speed if you haven't played them - there's an assload of characters and history and events that are referenced heavily in the 3rd game. But, even if you don't know what's going on Witcher 3 is a hell of a good time.
Does it have an intro that teaches you how to use the controls? Or should I look up a beginner's guide and save it for offline reference?
