I'll offer a simple 'yes.' The game's story is easy to follow, but if you're unaware there are some NSFW scenes that may take you by surprise. It's combat is engaging, has good replayability through side quests and skill trees, and has great DLC. Hope you enjoy it!

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

It is good but make sure you can dedicate it as many hours as it takes to complete. The game was certainly longer than I could commit to.
Yes
Never played the other Witcher games, but TW3 is one of my all-time favorites and I completed the whole story (including DLCs) like three times already.
Absolutely, but I do recommend playing The Witcher 2 at least because it's a pretty damn good game!
Yeah, but I'd recommend looking up a brief summary - or at least pay attention to the cutscenes and loading screens!
Also be sure to get the GOTY edition, the DLC is the best part of the game (both of them).
And I'd recommend playing on Hard mode or above, it makes the mutagens and oils, etc. actually matter a bit and felt a bit more like Monster Hunter in that respect.
Death March Alchemy build is the most OP way to play.
Yes go for it. There is obv some history between characters, but the story is pretty self contained.
I played it without playing any previous game and it was a blast, lore and history wise is self contained so no problem there.
Yes, no knowledge of previous games needed, like others already said.
Absolutely, just putting down it after ~80 hours (Have not started the DLC yet). I have not played Witcher 1 and 2 so a little bit confused a bit by some background (geography, who's who, past adventures).
