Everyone has a routine.
First and foremost, what I find the most interesting, is the
fact that everyone in the world of The Witcher 3 has a routine. Women included
and they aren't just standing around to look pretty for the main protagonist
Geralt of Rivia. Well not all the time. Anyways, the women in the world of the
Witcher 3 are a lot like the women you see in the real world. Every girl doing
her thing, for example a girl could be a innkeeper that lives in a quaint
little village, or a girl could be earning her coin working at the brothel in
the bustling cities, or a girl could be sorceress feared in the forest and is
thought to be a myth, or a sorceress that protects her bustling city dutifully.
The possibilities are literally endless and infinite anything you could see a
man doing in the Witcher 3 I believe you could see a women doing it too. I
think it's a really cool concept to have the genders as equal in the game, even
if they are only NPC's (Non-Playable-Characters). And the fact that everyone has a routine and
people react to weather and night-time is a definite step up from the Witcher
2. So yes, that means that friendly innkeeper is gonna shut her doors and lock
them at night or bring in people from the harsh rain. Or maybe it's the rumored
evil sorceress that caused the harsh rain. Not for nothing Cuties, I am
definitely looking forward to the female NPC's and checking out their routines!
Although fleshed out in the Witcher 2 I felt the women and NPC's overall seemed
a bit odd just standing in the same spot all day no matter what. It would
definitely feel more real and definitely add to that story feel the Witcher is
based on. Especially for the fact that the Witcher series is based on a
collection of short stories and novels written by a Polish author. And I love
me a good book Cuties.
So let's say you, as Geralt of Rivia run into this bustling
city in search of coin and people with a not so fun problem for you to help
them with. Any and every NPC has a story and is very fleshed out, talk to
someone long enough and you'll get a glimpse into their personality. So maybe
that beautiful young thing working at the brothel has a family to maintain, or
that drunk man just lost his family to a silly mistake or letting the drowners
to close to the kids (Witcher 2 Cuties you know what I mean).
Or maybe there are women who are a critical to the story,
that have you wanted to know how they end up. For example:
SPOILER ALERTS: In the Witcher 2, they are a couple of
female characters I can't wait to see where they are in the Witcher 3. Let's
start with Triss Merigold, Triss is this sorceress that accompanies Geralt for
parts of the Witcher 2, within having Triss with you, you learn that Triss is
sassy, intelligent and has a good heart, and is 100%(or at least I think so) in
love with Geralt and she would do anything to see him happy even though she is
sure it will not be with him but with the mysterious Yennefer. She is head
strong and always likes to know the full story, the kicker? Yes you could have
it so that Geralt and Triss make love in the second game. But that in no way
says that you as Geralt can't be an asshole and leave things there. Another
spunky gal you run into in the Witcher 2 is the brave no nonsense Ves. Ves is
part of an army that is doing an insurgency that Geralt is a part of that
requires absolutely no mistakes. But with the nitty gritty of this story as in
real life, mistakes happen. The insurgency is discovered and every single man
of the insurgency is hung by strings on their necks all except Ves who has
proven what a strong girl she is. But amazingly, in the face of death Ves makes
a choice. Ves rather use her body and please the king that killed the men and
save her life,then die with the rest.
There is also the sorceress Sile who was very witty and tight lipped
about her life and works with you at some points in the game but Geralt must
make a decision where she lives or dies but she stands by everything she did,
she did for the council of Mages for Mages aren't treated well in the world of
the Witcher.
END OF SPOILERS!
The real virtual world.
The Witcher 3, unlike the Witcher 2 before it is told to be
that in the world, there is more fleshed out characters and atmosphere in the
sense that there are real world problems. Like racism against Nonhuman races, the
elves, the dwarves and of course the mages and sorceresses. Things like poverty
and starvation seem to be imminent in the world too, people can be rejected out
of inns and brothels and services for these very real reasons. But also, you
would be able to see the humble, the innocent, the clowns and all the jesters’
tales like in the Witcher 2. Parents in the Witcher worry about their children
both grown and young wondering if they got themselves into trouble or trying to
get them out of it. The Witcher 3 is supposed to be a very real, very immersive
game.
Amazing storytelling.
The Witcher 3 has the possibilities to have the richest
story telling seen to date. Story based missions aside, there is countless
hours of side missions to help people, to clear areas of monsters and actually
have people settle in there, people remembering what you did to help them
afterwards. In many ways, the Witcher 3 is very true to an interactive book in
the best possible way. You could look into the lives of people who live in this
world, truly live in this living breathing fantasy world. And in that you could
add to Geralt's story and that's an amazing way to let you be the author. And
it would be amazing , because you can stop an innocent girl being raped, you
can stop a family from being robbed blind and forced into homeless and the best
part is? You can do it all. You could stop it all if you want to take the time.
Let you be the one to take the reins and here the countless stories in the
people of the Witcher 3. I feel like it will be very easy to find things in the
Witcher 3 that relate to real life, all the Witcher games in fact. This is definitely a game than really
captures your imagination. Yes, it's for adult eyes only, because of the nitty
gritty, based in reality topics the Witcher 3 covers without walking on
eggshells. But I feel this is a game any girl could get into; any girl could
open their imagination to this world with fantasy setting but real world
problems and beauty. I would have a hard time choosing between curling up with
a good book and diving into the world of the Witcher 3. As Geralt of Rivia you
could do all you can imagine from what I see. For example, this woman's husband
is about to get killed, you could let the husband die, and the woman would be
raped and killed as well by the time you might be able to ride back on your
horse, you might find her hanging naked from a tree. Or you could save her and
her husband they could continue on their lives happily thanks to the Witcher
Geralt of Rivia. You can even sleep with the woman after you save her and her
husband although it's safe to say the husband wouldn't be happy about that.
Imagine the possibilities.
The possibilities in the Witcher 3 look endless and that
excites me, because from the comfort of your own home you could make a
difference in women's lives although it be virtual ones. But also, I feel as a
woman that it would be an eye-opening experience for men playing this game
because that is the reality. Women face rape, death, and discrimination, and
abuse in the Witcher 3 and real world all the same. And as a man, they could be
more aware of how shocking it is that we have good hearts and how could they
blame a girl who's story they know nothing of. Cuties I cannot wait for the
Witcher 3 to be released and hopefully all I said still stands when it is. For
now, I'll keep waiting by the calendar and I'll give you an update when the
game is out, because if you haven't figured it out Cuties, I am all over
getting my hands on this game.
What do you Cuties think? Do you think the world of the
Witcher is too nitty gritty for a game?
Let me know in the comments below.
Luckily for us this game is available for preorder! All the wins!
Until next time Cuties(:
