(103) Witcher 3 Blood and Wine Walkthrough Part 20 All quests Death March (all side quests + commentary) - YouTube 1:08 Side Quest Equine Phantoms is excellent, one of the best little side quests in the game. Moving, too. In 2017 CDPR released this 2 minute tribute, it is in a way the final epilogue of Blood and Wine. This is one of the three main story quests that they really should have included in the game. A final party to finish up the game at the Corvo Blanco, and as grand as "Dead Man's Party" would have been awesome. I keep on feeling like the OG crew is missing in Blood and Wine. Despite the amazing quality of the region, it's not the same without the best friends. Where's Ciri? Triss? Yenn? Dandelion? Zoltan? etc?

Yea, I also see the spoiler button missing! And there is still malfunctions in loading.

7/10: Russians halted and open fired with artillery across the front. I believe the Russian goal is to chop off the Sevesk defense line with concentric attacks and roll up the defense from the North, East, and South. After they defeat this line, the Ukr forces will retreat to the 'last bastion', the twin cities' line and the final battle for the Donbass will begin. They will do something similar in this battle, too.

The gifting of Corvo Blanco (with staff paid by the state- and taxes, other expenses) to Geralt right at the start appears to be a ploy by Duchess Anna to get a strategic ally. So the 'witcher' of Touissant ends up living there and solving all the regional problems.. In the later novels, Duchess Anna was a prima donna, just a teenager IIRC. So Blood and Wine has their vision of what an older and politically astute Anna would be like. There is also disturbing evidence throughout Touissant that many witchers worked there and died. The outskirts of the region are filled with giant insects and monsters. another interesting detail is that the more literate and happy people there are more familiar with Geralt, and have less prejudice. They don't call him 'mutant, wanderer, vagrant'. As a consequence, the writing for Geralt has way less sarcasm and sudden violence. There is a lot less conflict in this region.

(99) Witcher 3 Blood and Wine Walkthrough Part 8 All quests Death March (all side quests + commentary) - YouTube probably the best small port I've ever seen in open world games. Looks like a real one. The tone and behavior of the people of Toussant are the exact opposite of those in Velen/Novigrad. I keep on thinking that quests would end in a bad way but usually they end for the better. It's like the developers were trying to balance things out by ending the game on a positive note. Witcher 1 had something like this going on as well, with the terrible hellhole of a place in a beginning and having a nice place near the end.

(99) Witcher 3 Blood and Wine Walkthrough Part 7 All quests Death March (all side quests + commentary) - YouTube 18:18 No man can be called good who does not share his prosperity with others. Generosity is required for dignity in life and peace in death. Valor does not make one good, but how many good men have you met in life who were cowards? Those who possess valor do not hesitate to stand against the majority, no matter the consequences. There are many traits which bear witness to man's true nature. Compassion is what separates man from beasts. Whoever feels sympathy for his fellow man will never turn a blind eye to misfortune. He will instead always stand in defense of the wronged. Wisdom is a virtue which one should strive to cultivate throughout one's life, for it is impossible to be so wise as one cannot become even wiser. The wise know this.. As we journey throughout life we should always seek to make wise choices. Remember wise choices are not those who make our lives easier or simpler. Often they make it more complicated. But they always make us better.
