So I'm trying to get into the Witcher story line after finishing the 1st book of the series and I have a few questions (if you can't answer them all that is fine). Can you run the Witcher:Enhanced Director's Cut (the one you can download from steam) on window's seven? I tried to do the www.canirunit.com test and everything passed but it couldn't give me an answer for operating system because it said something along the line of "we aren't sure if windows 7 is supported".

Also do the games follow the book stories? If so I will just play the buy and play The witcher 2 and skip the first one since I know the story from the first book.

Works on 7.

The games are sequels to the books.

So do you think I should read all the books before starting the games, or do you think I'll be able to follow the story well enough to jump right into the games?

You won'thave much of a problem following the story even if you haven't read all the books.

And btw, sites like CanIRunIt are very unreliable, if you are not sure if you can run a game, there is a sticky where people will be more than happy to help you.

Thank you I'm trying to get back into PC gaming (haven't done much since college) and I don't have a new top of a line computer so I rely on "can I run it" to try and figure out if my computer has the ability to run some of the newer games. I know the witcher is a few years dated so I didnt' anticipate problems with that. I'm just hoping it will be able to run torchlight 2 when it comes out.

nope. geralt's memory is wiped clean at the beginning of the first game, and it takes place years after the books anyway. plus, most of the books aren't available in english >.>

Reading the books before playing the game isn't required.. nor will it ruin your gaming experience. I read both books after I played the game and I found books and game to be very enjoyable either way.

I dislike Triss since I read the books. Yennefer is the real deal.

Also I had a nightmare last night in which The Witcher TV series was on and I was trying to stop my parents from watching it because it would ruin their opinion of the games and books. I am not joking.
