    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.

    I wonder why there aren’t more True Crime video games.

    Too real I guess. Not fake and gay enough to sell well.

      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.
