At its core, The Witcher 3 is a simple story. Geralt is looking for her adopted daughter, Ciri, who is being hunted down by a unit called Wild Hunt.
Geralt needs about 100 hours to follow her because he can't do anything-despite his claims to be out of political and human care, he is constantly trapped in the lives of others. He never refuses to insert coins, he likes to sit in the tavern and play cards.
You must do your best to forget that Ciri is in a cold and lonely place, chased by terrible demons.
Some people might call it hallucinations-in which case the behavior of playing a game conflicts with a story or a character, such as Nathan Drake murders everyone without hesitation. But they were wrong. The phrase and its entire concept are garbage anyway. Geralt meandered and forgotten his main task, and was supported by the lore.
Here's a quote from Geralt's lover Yennefer's Tower of the Swallows, shared in a minor review by The Witcher:
"I repeat, Silly is not in Nilfgard. I don't know mine The wizard-you choose to describe him-is planning. But he … Crach, I … It's no secret that he likes him. But I know he won't rescue Ciri. He can do nothing. I know him. He will become entangled in something, lose his way, start thinking philosophically and feel sad for himself. Then he would vent his anger and use a knife to chop anyone who could chop. Later, to make up for this, he will perform some noble but meaningless feats. In the end, he could be foolishly, pointlessly killed by the stab wounds behind him. "
Too real! There was even news that he was killed-I know what that means, but in my mind Yennefer was talking about a drowning man running out of the water and shooting me.
Netflix's Season 2 Witcher cast is currently being filled out, and the subscription service has just announced its Vesemir. Not Mark Hamill. I can't wait to see what Geralt will be distracted next time.
