As a complete n00b to Witcher, I really want to start playing it, but do you have to play through the first two games first?

I would suggest playing through the other games, but if you enjoy reading as a hobby, you should at least read the first couple of books in the series. Yennefer is a very important character to the series and has been talked about in the first two a lot, but never shown. She will be in this one from what we’ve seen so far and the books go into detail about how Yennefer and met. None of it is required, but it makes the experience more enjoyable if you have the backstory.
