Update 11 - King of Wolves
I read the book Keira had given to me - The Ladies of the Wood. Apparently I had to lure a child along some Trail of Treats in order to find the witches I was looking for. The Trail was miles away though so for now I turned my attention to the Bloody Baron. I never realised quite how far Keira had taken me to get to the ruins.
At the Baron’s castle, I was greeted by the bandits who I bought a round for at the Inn at the Crossroads. Seems that my actions towards them had an impact on this conversation which was nice. The Baron himself reminds me a bit of Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones. He started to tell me about when Ciri arrived at his castle...
And the game transitioned to me playing as Ciri, which I didn’t realise was a thing. As Ciri, I saved a young girl from a pack of wolves. Ciri appears to handle a bit differently from Geralt, at least in terms of appearances. Instead of rolling or sidestepping she has some magical dodge thing going on, and her combat style seems to be quicker and more agile.
Ciri was hunting some creature called the Wolf King. I followed the girl, Gretka, through the woods to find it. There’s something really weird to me about how the children in this game are voiced. I can’t tell if they’re well-acted or terribly-acted. We found the Wolf King in a cave about to kill some guy. After putting the Wolf King down, the guy took Ciri and Gretka to the Bloody Baron, thinking that one of them was the lord’s daughter. Obviously, neither of them were.
At this point the flashback ended and I was back with Geralt. The Baron refused to give any more information. Instead, he wanted me to find his missing wife and daughter. In return, he’d tell me more. Seems fair enough. After some searching around their bedrooms, I found a strange talisman. The Baron didn’t know what to make of it, but he told me about someone who might.
