RE: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | I haven't played an RPG in a very long time.

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

But one thing remains true for all "Witchers" and that's they slay monsters for money.

Yoo, that's why in one of the dialogues Geralt asked a lady if there was a payment for killing Griffin that was in that city. I have a feeling that we will do it sooner.

When you say that the School of the Cat all became assassins, do you mean witch killers or assassins in general?

Even if a witcher survives their trails as a kid, they can still die while undergoing the final mutations.

This sounds pretty complicated to be honest haha. You mean Witchers are creations? That's pretty curious, but I feel like if I keep asking I'll end up eating quite a few spoilers. Since you say I'll soon find out in the game, then I'd rather let the TW3 story begin to enlighten me.

In the start of TW3 you are in a part of Tameria that has been captured by Nilfgard, which is why there's a scene at the in when the innkeeper is told by a drunk to take down the tamerian lillies.

Did you play TW3 recently? Amazing that you remember this detail, I think it was a blue colored shield with 2 swords (my memory is not that good). Coincidentally that same gentleman is the same one that appears in the last screenshot after getting beaten up XD.

It's amazing how much I'm missing out on by not playing the previous games, but it sounds like there's still a lot of things I need to learn. I wish I had the heart to decide to play TW2 first, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up abandoning both games if I feel overwhelmed haha.

Again, thanks so much for giving me more background on the story, it's awesome that you summed it up in a few comments haha.

Yup, the witchers are creations. They're humans that become mutated during the Trail of Grasses, which is why people refer to witchers as mutant.

And the last time I played a full playthrough of TW3 was years ago. But I loved the game so much I platted the base game, then bought the GOTY edition ( NA version) platted that, and bought the european version but lost my password for that account. I currently have it bought on Steam, but I'm waiting until I get a 3080 to play it.

Oh, and yeah, they become straight up assassins. But to be fair, they were manipulated by the Emperor of Nilfgard. To prepare for his invasions of the northern Realms, the emperor made a deal with the School of the Cat that if they killed the kings of these realms that he would (IIRC) allow them to rebuild the school of the viper which was pretty much wiped out ( and my bad, Letho and the turned assassins are that from the school of the viper, not the school of the cat)
