DA Fan gives TW3 a shot: Text Based Let's Play

There's a metric fuckton of grey, people keep talking about the "good book" which is clearly whatever passes for the Holy Bible in the Witcher universe, and there's also a lot of dirt. Buildings often hold together so-so judging by looks and survival isn't easy.

It's about as grim as I'd expect from a 12th century central Europe, which is kind of sort of there for Poland, which is supposedly the main inspiration for Sapkowski, upon whose novels the games are based.

Often you can't say you chose the good over the evil. You can only shrug with a sad look on your face, and say that you did what you thought was best.
Minor spoiler related to White Orchard and it's greyness - you should be past this part of the game by now.



And another from Skellige, one of the minor, two-minute contracts there, further displaying the massive grey grimness that is the Witcher's world:


There is often no right choice. There is only what you think is right, based on your own morality. The lesser evil.
That is ironic, because Geralt is known for saying "Evil is evil. Lesser. Greater. Middling. The degree is arbitrary. The definitions blurred. If I am to chose between one evil and another, I'd rather not chose at all." - word for word.

He then proceeds to kill a man who is trying to hang a woman, and when the man asks in a shaking voice what is he doing, he replies "Killing monsters."
