    The idea of Witchers not having emotions is propaganda by those who fear them. If you study what Witchers go through to become Witchers and to ply their trade, the “lack of emotion” is really the product to PTSD. Is how they emotionally adapt to the horrors they’ve experienced and that they have to deal with once on the path.

    What’s great about “wild hunt” is that I read the novels AFTER playing the game, and I had no idea how much lore was packed into the game. The books gave me a deeper appreciation for the game.

    The only video I found that actually made everything really understandable for me. I love that your summaries of the games aren't overwhelmingly detailed to the point where nothing makes sense. Other videos gave way too much information for a brief summary to stay coherent. Really appreciate ur work thanks a lot

  • @Gilleban
    @Gilleban Před 10 měsíci +6

    If anyone needs a giggle, "Jaskier" does not translate to English as "Dandelion"...that was a call made when the novels were translated. Jaskier's name translates as...
    Buttercup.

    • @KeytarArgonian
      @KeytarArgonian Před 10 měsíci

      I think there’s something weird in the translation, or it isn’t completely direct because Jaskier also translates to Rittersporn in German, which translated again into English is Delphinum, which is another small Yellow flower.

    The realities aren’t infinite, or parallel in the sense of ‘multiple almost identical universes’ like something in marvel. There are many worlds, but not in the ‘Geralt from a different universe’.
