    tbh 9/10 cases in the Witcher III are just people trying to hide domestic murder behind folklore shit.

        I’d love to know what you think this “commentary from the beginning” is. Please, elaborate.

          Admittedly only dumped ~20 hours into one game, so may not have the most holistic view on the game.

          But feels like there’s a ton of quests that are “go hunt this monster”, find out the monster’s motivations, realize it was the humans/“civilized folk” who dealt the first blow / profaned nature / failed to perform some ritual, Geralt grits teeth and sides with civilization against obviously wronged nature/monster.

          So yeah, I didn’t see any “its actually domestic abuse” quests, but the games are crawling with “humans have hubris/pride that is their own downfall” commentary.

    Anon is trying to sneak through a really bad take here, so I hope you guys are only laughing at this because you don’t know what they’re referring to.

      what about the take is bad?

      this is legit what is going on. idiots think they are using their magical powers and they know THE TRUTH about the Clancy case and lots of other idiots believe them and they are so insane they are protesting outside the courthouse and harassing jurors.

        Can’t argue with that, I’m just worried that - since it’s 4chan - the aim is to discredit the idea that Clancy was under psychosis and that she should not be fully held accountable for this tragedy.

      There were a bunch of good ones and then I guess they just fell out of fashion. I should play L.A. Noir again. Ooh, and Hard Rain.
