I always liked the Krondor series. It inspired several D&D characters of mine. Like The Witcher, it too has a video game based on it. Though it's from way back in the day on DOS.

You might know this already, but the original series in that universe, The Riftwar Saga, Feist wrote about a DnD campaign he played with his friends. I picked up the first one, Magician, and it felt just like a DnD campaign, so I looked it up and sure enough it was exactly that.

I'm making my way through all of the books and haven't gotten to the Krondor books, so I don't know how different they are as I could clearly see his growth as a writer in just the first series. I'm currently reading through the Daughter of the Empire series that he co-wrote with another author and I'm really enjoying it.
