Hi, I really enjoy gwent but have never experienced any of the story so where do you recommend i start?
Oh man ... prepare for way more info than you wanted. If you want to experience the entire story of the books and games. I would reccomend doing it like this:
The Witcher (video game)
The Witcher 2: Assassination of Kings (video game)
The Last Wish (Short Story Collection)
The Sword of Destiny (Short Story Collection)
The Blood of Elves (Book)
The TIme of Contempt (Book)
The Baptism of Fire (Book)
The Swallows Tower (Book)
The Lady of the Lake (Book)
The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
The reason for doing it this way is that a major plot device in The Witcher 1 & Witcher 2 is that Geralt has amnesia. Without getting into spoilers, he recovers his memory in the second game. However, learning all about his history after playing the first two games makes a lot of sense when combining the narratives of the books and the games.
HOWEVER, I personally don't really see the games as canon to the books themselves as their very existence is sort of contradicted by the ending of the books IMO.
