Description from IGDB IGDB

This third-person dark fantasy Western RPG and sequel to The Witcher (2007), featuring multiple endings and branching narrative paths, follows the travels of Geralt of Rivia, witcher, who, after being falsely accused of regicide, sets out to clear his name and find the real killer, in a time of political turmoil and the brink of war between the imperialistic Nilfgaardian Empire and the Four Kingdoms.

Storyline IGDB

The player is Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer, a witcher. Entangled in the political turmoil that engulfed Temeria, Geralt helped quell the rebellion of the Order of the Flaming Rose. Soon after, he saved King Foltest’s life when the monarch was attacked by a witcher-like assassin. He continues to protect the king, serving as his bodyguard as Foltest strives to bring peace to his kingdom. The Order’s last bastions have yielded to the royal army, yet one more task remains - the Baroness La Valette announced her secession from the realm, and her fortress must be taken. A month after the attempted assassination, Foltest’s armies stand at the gates of La Valette Castle, preparing for a final assault. Still at Foltest’s side, Geralt is among them, unable to begin his personal quest to discover the mysterious assassin’s origin and identity.
