Okay guys, I'm currently doing something unique. Or at least, unique for me. I'm playing all the Witcher games in order with dlc's. It means that I'm going from the Thronebreaker to the Blood and Wine. I have many ambitious ideas, during this grand playtrough, and one of them is playing Hearts of Stone at the most fitting part of the game. I would like to listen to your advice on when should I play HoS, because I don't know when to play it, but first here's a few things that my help you with what experience I exactly want. First time, I played HoS right after the ending of the Witcher 3. It's been an aswome experience, but still I had to thing or two that I found problematic with this scenario. First and foremost, the war is still going on in HoS. Radovid was mentioned several times as a living person although I had participated in his assassination way back in the the game, military movements, Nilfgaardian attacks, although in that case, the war has ended, at least for me. Furthermore, this way I couldn't romance Shani without having the feeling of guilt, because of cheating on the current partner. I'm close to finishing Witcher 1, and those who played it know that there's a little bit of tension between Triss and Shani. It's I think realistic to have a smaller affair with Shani after Geralt broke up with Triss, but having a real relationship with someone (Triss this time) later. Therefore, in this case I would like to play HoS when I haven't romanced anyone yet, when Radovid isn't assassinated yet and when it fits into the story, cause I don't want to mess up a playtrough that long with an unreasonable story choice.

I'm lookin forward to hear you ideas, not only about this, but about any other things you would advise me.
