The Witcher 3

[Gmd]

Anyone else played it through? It instantly became my favorite game of last year, if not all time, and i'm currently near the end of my second playthrough on the hardest difficulty (sososo hard) Also playing the dlc after this playthrough, which i hear is great and the second dlc is out soon.
It's got the best story/graphics and gameplay i've seen in ages and i love it. Also anyone read the books? I've read all the ones currently translated 1-3 waiting on 4 this year.

I've read the books and liked them well enough, loved The Witcher but didn't like even enough to finish 2 and 3 seems to have kept the things I disliked about 2 and added an asston of material gathering which I also dislike. Yes I know it's optional, but so are all the sidequests.
