Little did I know when I met Bloody Baron that this would be the start of one of the most amazing storylines I have ever played..

[@Mistercilk17]

I know right. When i first met him i was like, who's this bastard? Let me finish this quest quickly and get to the good stuff. Things turned out differently to say the least..

[@goncalobaia1574]

For me, it was the the most thought-provoking questline I've ever played, and it totally changed my aproach to life, because of how realistic it is In the begginning you like him or not, then you don't, then you really don't, then you don't know, and then it's up to you, but that was the point I said to myself "how can I be the judge of a story I just read, while having skipped all the pages?" And the fact that the baron shows genuine simpathy at times and regret and all the rest and the story IMO really makes you realise that evil and good are very, very controversial subjects, and the lines are very blurry, and when you look at them for a while, you stop seeing them. It's all merely a perspective matter It's just like he himself said "I can't speak for the world you witchers inhabbit, but in ours, nothing is ever black and white"

[@RyanDevoy]

I don’t anyone thought it would turn out to be such a juicy storyline when they first went there but that is what makes this game great

[@sucka_punch-2000]

Yeah that's when it was for me, first met the Baron I was like "alright gotta help this dude get his family back." As his story fleshed out more it was so emotional and heart wrenching. Didn't know who's side was right, welp there isnt one. By the end of the quest I was like wtf this is just the beginning of the game?

[@cantonnier]

"Understand, witcher? My child was dead."

[@Jantangan]

bloody baron is probably the saddest character and also my favorite. He wants to fix life, wich he destroyed by alcohol. We see this desperation when he gives Dea her name. He wasn't looking at her like on a monster anymore. It was father's look. From the beginning i understood him. his daugther was bitch-like when geralt gave her doll in Oxenfurt :,

ALot of the side female characters started acting like feminists. Barron's Daughter, The female 'yea i'm a woman' captain who takes you to Skelliga, and the final boss in fists of Fury. It's jarring. Not as bad as, say, the after credits seen in Assassins Creed 4, but still bad. Makes me concerned for Cyberpunk 2077.

[@Shailushai-l3e]

He was actually a good husband. He was in war and earned money for his family because of love. His wife cheated on him. He said he would forgive her when it was once, but it was for years. He punched her, what is understandable, because she wanted to kill him and herself. He tried to apologize what he actually didnt have to, because his wife has broken him his heart. I was totally on his side after I heared the whole story. It was story I won't forgive my whole life

[@thesenate8268]

@@Shailushai-l3e Good point.

[@jaffarebellion292]

@@Shailushai-l3e Had the Baron not run to a bottle to solve his problems, he may have spared himself and his family the pain they ultimately suffered. True, I think he was a decent man at his core, but his alcoholism is ultimately what destroyed him. Anna is most certainly not without blame, but the Baron made choices of his own that cost him everything. Tamara and Dea are the only true victims in this scenario; the only ones who did nothing to deserve the shit hand they were dealt. Dea breaks my heart most, I think, and I'll never pass up the chance to bring her soul some peace through the Lubberkin ritual.

i just recently played this game, i don’t understand what took me so long. at first i had bought it a while back and refunded the game. i wasnt ready for it, found it odd as i had never really played an rpg and didnt understand the concept. i came back to it and gave it another try as it was on sale, that was the best decision i have made. very few games have had this effect on me if any at all. but this game. this is truly a masterpiece, but you must be ready for it. the long long hours you have to be ready for this game. As for this ost it was the greatest story that captivated me. the bloody barons story. i remember every moment like it was so so good with this theme

*SPOILERS BELOW* On my first walkthrough, I got the bad ending. I hoped to help him overcome his wife's death, only to find him hanged from a tree. I was taken aback, shocked even. It felt like I just lost someone close to me... Someone you wanted to help, but weren't able to. Couldn't bear it, so I had to start over the entire game. On a sidenote this also resulted in me saving before every possible choice. Sure as hell will be a save scummer if that's what it'll take to save them...

That's The Witcher Showing that a Simples quest have more content than the great majority of today's movies.

[@olodesu]

This story alone shits on the entirety of the Netflix's non-canon TV "adaptation" of the books. And that prequel nonsense. It's truly admirable how the show runners couldn't have a tiny bit of compassion and talent to make something even remotely as good as this story line. Or what CDPR has done to the universe and story of the Witcher books. It's the ultimate difference between 2 groups of people - one that doesn't care about The Witcher at all despite their loud statements about being truthful to the books. And the other group of people DEEPLY admires and loves the Witcher, the story and the characters. I listen to this track again, 8 years later, and it makes me teary because it reminds me of the Baron's tragedy. The only thing that would make me teary about the Netflix's show is the fact that it was actually made and the fact that it probably turned off a lot of people who wanted to get into the Witcher's story and the universe (not as big or as deep, not gonna pretend that it's some masterpiece) but chose the wrong medium to do so and might never give a try to the books or the games (or even a single game such as The Witcher 3) now. If anything it was such a bullshit anti-Witcher show that it makes me think that it was a deliberate sabotage to turn people off.
