The Pitch

Welcome to the big show. And we mean big. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the largest, densest game we've covered on Watch Out for Fireballs!. In fact, there's so much going on here that we're dividing the coverage up into four episodes, with this first installment being two hours dedicated solely to the mechanics and generalities of the game.

Don't worry if you've never played a Witcher game before, or read a Witcher book. The Witcher 3 is excellent and self-contained enough to warrant your serious attention.

Here's the rough schedule of how we're going to break the episodes down. This might be subject to change.

• Basics
• Prologue, Velen, Novigrad
• Skellige, Endgame, Contracts
• Secondary Quests
