Do I need to play Witcher 1 and 2 first, or can I just dive in to 3?

You don't need to. Every item has notes with it. You might appreciate the lore or recognize characters if you played 1 and 2 but thats like another 50 hours. They made the game knowing they would pickup a lot of first time players.

Honestly the first Witcher game is darn near unplayable by todays standards so I wouldn't even bother with it. Witcher 2 still holds up pretty well. You could likely find a good brief story summary from the first two games on youtube if you were curious.

You can dive into 3. It plugs a lot of info for you, but you can also watch a YouTube synopsis if you want.

I would recommend that but it is not required at all.

Dive right into 3. That's what I did. The storyline is pretty self contained. They make passing references to past events in prior games and you can infer certain characters have histories, but it doesn't impact your understanding or enjoyment of the current game.

Dive right into 3. You'll be asked a few two-answer questions early in the game that vaguely explain and help shape the past, affecting story lines in the new game. I didn't understand it, but the distraction was literally only momentary.
