Is this RPG really a real RPG!
At this moment, Ben only had this thought in his mind.
His head was still filled with the romantic night scene from ten seconds ago.
Is this an old friend?
Is this Geralt?
Before this, Geralt gave Ben the feeling of being slightly sarcastic, such as when facing the Nilfgaardian garrison commander in White Orchard. At the same time, although he was a witcher, he would be kind to ordinary people, but he would not fully show it, such as rescuing merchants attacked by griffins, and after winning the first fistfight in the side quest, he could choose to give the opponent some coins to buy food.
But of all the labels, there was no 'banging'!
As for Yennefer's unicorn at the beginning, Ben didn't think too much about it at the time. After all, Yennefer and Geralt seemed to be a couple, so isn't it normal for couples to have some fun?
But facing Keira taking off her clothes, saying those lines, and not even letting Keira take off her shoes, what do you mean, Geralt?
After a moment of emotion, Ben refocused his attention on the story.
The morning after the pleasant post-dinner activity, Geralt discovered that Keira was missing. After tracking Keira's whereabouts to the Tower of Mice, Geralt discovered that Keira asked him to lift the curse only to get the plague virus research notes in the tower's laboratory.
The purpose was to escape the poor rural life and give the virus research notes to the King of Redania first.
However, Geralt clearly understood that the King of Redania, Radovid, didn't care about these at all.
Here, there were three options: let Keira go to Radovid, or directly turn against her and kill her with one strike, or persuade her to go to Kaer Morhen to avoid the trouble.
Looking at the three different options, although Ben didn't know what the subsequent story would be, he still chose to let Keira go to Kaer Morhen to avoid the trouble for the time being.
After all, this option was relatively reliable. Although he hadn't met Radovid yet, judging from some of the information revealed in the game, the other party cooperated with the Church of the Eternal Fire to persecute sorceresses like crazy in order to seize their wealth for military expenses, and it was obviously impossible to easily spare Keira.
As for being heartless after sleeping with her, Ben didn't think Geralt would do that kind of thing based on his personality.
After resolving these matters, Ben controlled Geralt to find the Bloody Baron.
Arriving at Crow's Perch, he met the Bloody Baron, and facing Ben's visit, the other party clearly stated that he had indeed seen Ciri.
However, because the baron's wife and daughter were missing, he wanted the white wolf to help him search for his family before he would tell him Ciri's whereabouts.
Through investigation, Geralt quickly found out that the baron's wife and daughter were not missing.
Instead, the baron often abused his wife after getting drunk. The most recent abuse resulted in his wife's miscarriage, and she left him with their daughter overnight.
Playing to this point, Ben felt that this baron was simply a scum.
But soon, as the game's story progressed, the development of events exceeded Ben's expectations.
Just like the title of this quest: Every family has its own problems.
This was a family matter that outsiders could hardly judge. You might think the baron was wrong for abusing his wife, but what was the truth?
The baron used to be a small officer in Temeria. Although he was irritable and loved to drink, he also had a tender side.
He was devoted to his wife Anna and even made a doll for his daughter with his own hands. However, during the war, the baron was away fighting all year round, so his wife Anna's feelings for him faded. She not only cheated but also took her daughter to live in her lover's house.
So, the baron, knowing the truth, said that if it was once or twice, he could pretend not to know and choose to forgive, but Anna had been doing it for several years. The furious baron directly killed the man in front of Anna.
And after that, whenever the baron started drinking heavily, Anna would appear at the right time when the baron was drunk enough, deliberately provoking him with the most hurtful words, and then domestic violence would occur.
After one incident of domestic violence, the baron discovered that Anna had miscarried. Looking at the corpse of the child's embryo, the baron thought he had done it while drunk. Later, after burying the child, the baron kept regretting it, and as a result, Anna and her daughter ran away from home.
After discovering that his wife and daughter had run away, the baron was very worried about their safety, but on the one hand, he didn't want to lose face, so he could only search for them secretly until the appearance of the white wolf Geralt gave the baron hope.
Without much effort, the white wolf quickly found the baron's daughter, but because she had witnessed her mother being beaten by her father so often, she also hated the baron and chose to leave her hometown, came to Oxenfurt, and joined the Church of the Eternal Fire, becoming a witch hunter.
As for the baron's wife Anna, she was captured by a monster during her escape and her whereabouts were unknown.
During this period, with the investigation, the truth quickly came to light.
In fact, the reason why Anna was captured was because she made a forbidden deal. In Velen, ordinary people did not worship gods, but three witches.
Anna was pregnant with the baron's child, but she had already decided to leave with her daughter. So, before leaving, Anna found the old hags and signed a contract hoping to get rid of the child in her belly, but she didn't expect that the old hags' method of fulfilling Anna's wish was to drain Anna's strength with black magic.
This not only damaged Anna's mind but also made her appearance extremely old. At the same time, due to the relationship of the contract, Anna also became a slave to the three witches, adopting various orphans who had become homeless due to the war in the swamp.
But these orphans, according to the conversation between the white wolf and the three old hags in the middle, could be known that they were actually food raised by the old hags. Anna was just 'raising pigs' for the old hags.
After telling the baron the whole story, the other party also fulfilled his promise and told the white wolf about Ciri's news.
It turned out that after Ciri came to Velen, she was captured by the old hags, barely managed to escape, rescued a little girl along the way, and finally ended up in Crow's Perch, the baron's territory.
The baron generously provided help to Ciri, including the orphan girl that Ciri brought, the baron also adopted her into the castle. During this period, Ciri had a pleasant time here, but because of the fossilized lizard that suddenly appeared during another horse race, Ciri used her power over time and space. In order not to involve the baron, Ciri left Velen immediately after that.
After the baron finished telling the clue about Ciri, Ben also prepared to help the baron.
After all, from his perspective, Ben really sympathized with the baron.
This guy is too miserable!
He was wrongly accused, and the baron himself had helped Ciri before.
Of course, there was also a very important reason, and that was that this baron was actually a Gwent master.
Although his wife and children had not yet returned to his side, the cards that should be played still had to be played.
And the baron in front of him also showed Ben the little monster he had won from a merchant in the Skellige Islands, a ugly Uma with pus on its back.
As fellow card players, Ben and the baron also sympathized with each other.
"I'll help you rescue your wife and children, and then we'll have a grand Gwent exchange." Looking at the baron in front of him.
But as the quest progressed, Ben realized that the current task was completely different from what he had imagined.
He needed to make the most difficult choice since the start of the game.
