Who is Eskel? - The Witcher Eskel - Witcher lore

[@2KXMKR]

Is it just me or did TW3 end off with Eskel being the perfect next protagonist? It's implied that Geralt goes in to semi-retirement with Yen in Beauclair. Lambert goes off with Keira or errr... or *errrr!* But Eskel just kind of wanders off and says he might leave Kaer Morhen for good. I truly believe Eskel will be the only Witcher of the Wolf school to carry on the path as a full-time witcher. Red Wolf!

[@Xaos1851]

MickMaan that is totally true. Him and Geralt are very similar as well so playing as him would be great.

[@direwolf5134]

I wouldnt mind that however I dont Think it ever will happen

[@PrimalSnake]

Eww no

[@asahel980]

might? he said without vesemir Kaer Morhen is no more, and he;ll just wait out winters to other place.

[@qdllc]

I think you could do well with Eskel or Lambert if you explore the characters right. Each have aspects that would be very interesting if played properly.

Just through his features really, wolves are more elegant

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Well if you took something like a Plot Hound, I feel like that would fit Eskel more, but, each to their own.

[@willcallbeck0709]

Great video! The cutscene where Eskal fights Caranthir is one of my favourites in the Witcher 3. Wish he had a larger role or at least more of his backstory fleshed out.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

I do too, I would honestly love a game just of his story.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

That would be awesome

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Yeah, each character having a very distinct locations would be awesome too

[@slickr_392]

Would have loved Eskel to be the one who took down Caranthir

[@ChillAssTurtle]

If he busted out some mutagen action..applied oils..and spammed quen :)

[@Tiamatdc]

it would be epic

[@The_Caledonian]

Apparently the netflix _adaptation_ planned to have Eskel live and some random witcher in place of being infected by the leshen. They supposedly changed it with Eskel to make the scene more dramatic and heartfelt. My problem with this decision: >Anyone with background knowledge of the witcher games and books just get's pissed off. >Anyone without any knowledge of the witcher does not care for Eskel as he is portrayed as a creep. >Any character arc was never developed and we only get a flashback by Geralt of them after training which is less than meaningless. >Any other unnamed witcher could have been more viable to be killed by the leshen just like they got killed by those _basilisks_ and would have still made vesemir feel like he lost one of his sons. >Roach's death was more emotional than Eskel's death, and the other witchers come to think of it.

[@mrbelgrade6631]

I used to think Geralt getting Ciri through the law of surprise was cool and unique. Until I realized just about every single transaction in this universe is done the same way. “Oh wow. Let me guess. The law of surprise, very original”

[@AlfisFarhan]

One of the most well-behaved witcher

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Agreed

[@obsoleteMAC]

except for those rare times when he needs to snort lines of coke (fisstech) off a hooker's (succubus) tits lol

[@justwatch7091]

I wish Lambert and Eskel stayed until finale of the game. Would be cool to see them help us while fighting The Hunt for the last time.

[@connorboyle2585]

so in my limited experience with the witcher series (a decent chunk of the games, the show, and a large amount of lore videos) the one thing i am absolutely sure of is that people need to stop fucking using the law of surprise.

[@alphanox-7873]

When I saw Eskel the first time in the flashback, I didn't bother a second look. When he fought Caranthir, though... yeah, he became a favorite.

[@joebanjo8337]

I like how you mentioned the curse. It's one of my favorite tales from the books where garalt is forced to kill the princess that wanted to kill the mage that wanted to kill her lol. A really touching story

[@OKAYGUVBear]

No problem brother, thank *you*

[@gilvinzalsos3762]

so eskel also does the law of surprise thingy. I think in witcher 4 cdpr would also add “the law of surprise” as another option for rewards for contract esp in cases where u save a man’s life from monsters. it’d be dope.

[@Daladari]

His outfit was my favorite, the closest I could wear is the Wolven outfit you get from one of the DLC's.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

I agree, I love his jacket

[@-Thunder-Warrior-]

"The ole hen she cackled."

[@RavenStorm1031]

i think he is my favorite from the witchers and hes still handsome if im honest. hes badass af! wouldve loved to see him take down caranthir.

[@oblivionstrider839]

OKAYGUV Bear Common problem but one easily fixed, hats are always one size too small here so they don’t fall off. Also causes all the swearing, the tight fit usually gives you a headache 😜.

[@OKAYGUVBear]

Ah, that makes sense, I did always wonder xD

[@LakrimaProject]

Tbh I would like Witcher 4 to be not about Geralt anymore. Sure it would be nice to meet him on our journey once or twice, but I hope this time Ciri would be a main protagonist. Therefore I would LOVE to be some playable segements with Eskel and Lambert too. Let's say 70% Ciri and 15% for Eskel and Lamber each. Or just give me "Blood and Wine"-like 20h DLC with Eskel alone

[@ANDY-1109]

But I don't want women protagonist for the game‼ Maybe for her son it's ok‼‼

[@mrdrebin123]

Eskel Like Geralt i sort of think both look at their turn to witchers like their Destiny.

[@Sapphiresenthiss]

Everyone calls Eskel the 'Red Wolf', and I can see why, as the colors and School of the Wolf... but for me, somehow, he always resembled a wolverine 😆 The Red Wolverine would work just fine for me. I'd LOVE the next Witcher game being about him! As for being handsome once - still is to me. Just a different kind of handsomeness than the more classic one Geralt possesses.

[@Sultaanash]

Really would like to play as eskel

[@sionefonua7636]

If Witcher 4 ever becomes a thing then I hope we get to see her. But the probabilities of another witcher game is low.
