That's what makes this now five year old game so absolutely incredible. When I describe this game to anyone who's willing to listen, it's almostĪlways about its attention to detail and devotion to world building. It's all quite tragic, and a very well written beauty and the beast story, within the world of The Witcher.īut by complete and utter chance, I discovered tonight that there's more to Niellen and Hanna's story than I knew. I opted to let the werewolf have his revenge, and upon doing so, he asked me to kill him, so that his blood would be the last shed. The plan backfires, as Niellen kills his lover in a blind rage while she awaits in the woods, and Margrit learns that her sister loved Niellen despite his lycanthropy, having already known about it. Furthermore, before later delivering the final blow on Niellen the Werewolf, you learn it was Hannas sister Margrit that sent her to the woods, to see what her husband was really like. After finding Hannas body ripped to shreds in the woods, you eventually discover that Niellen himself is actually a Werewolf in hiding, isolated to a shack in the wilderness so that he may hunt in peace and without human casualty. For those unfamiliar, it's the one where a Hunter named Niellen tasks you with finding his wife, Hanna, who has suddenly gone missing. I had just finished one of my favourite side quests, 'Wild at Heart'.
I'm currently playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the second time through, this time on New Game+ and on Death March Difficulty.
Stop now if you don't wan't the details of the quest spoiled for you, as it is a pretty good one and, after tonights discovery, might be one of the best the game has to offer in my opinion. Warning: The following contains spoilers for 'Wild at Heart', a side quest in The Witcher 3.
