Each new game adds tons of new developments to the story that it’s easy to get lost.
The Witcher 3 for example, takes six months after the events of The Witcher 2 ended.
During that time, tons of crazy things have happened that drastically changed the state of the game world.
Suddenly, there’sno more Temeriaand Geralt is chasing another woman already.
So allow us to point those out in case Geralt’s amnesia rubbed off on you.

Geralt immediately became the prime suspect and thus spent the whole game escaping law or clearing his name.
It wasn’t until the ending of the second game that Geralt managed to successfully stop or confront Letho.
After that, the game didn’t provide much of an epilogue.
He was able to get a horse probably from the stablesof Kaer Morhenat some point in that six-month gap.
On top of that, Dandelion developed some genuine romantic feelings for a fellow bard named Priscilla.
Now that is news for someone in Geralt’s turbulent social circle.
7Skellige Falls In Turmoil
Now on to geo-political situations.

In the first two Witcher games, the lack of war made the atmosphere a bit lighter.
Now, with Nilfgaard’s invasion, manysmall nationswere consumed or subjugated.
It wasn’t some mere regional dispute between nobles but a world war sparked off by Emhyr var Emreis.
Temeria was sadly nonexistent in The Witcher 3 anymore.
It was one of the latest kingdoms to fall near the start of the third game.
Survivor accounts recall that the Nilfgaardian army took Temeria in just a few days.
Temeria’s defeat started happening prior though, when Foltest was assassinated.
That’s why Radovid understandably went insane and started being suspicious of any ally who was capable of magic.
This way, he had more territory and only had to fight on one big front instead of two.
It’s brilliant but cold and dishonorable.
She asked none other than Emhyr var Emreis but also promised something in return.
