Of course, even though he said it was something only a weird person would do, Ben still did it himself in the game.
He really couldn't help it, he was curious!
He was curious about what kind of development Geralt could have with these different female characters. What if he missed any hidden story lines?
Like in White Orchard, there was a story where Temerian and Nilfgaardian soldiers, fighting on the battlefield, decided to run away together. One of the soldiers asked Geralt to find his brother.
But if Geralt didn't go with the brother, the other ordinary soldier would be left behind to die. Only if Geralt went would it trigger the story line of taking him in.
So now Ben was also exploring the brothel with a goal in mind. It was just a shame that he didn't trigger any hidden missions.
After wandering around the brothel for a while, Geralt, controlled by Ben, was ready to go to the last area: the Skellige Isles.
Of course, before that, he also helped Triss with some trouble, helping Triss and the sorceresses in the city escape with Dandelion.
Like Keira, Geralt spent another romantic night with Triss at the top of the watchtower.
At this point, Ben suddenly remembered a line from the White Wolf in the game.
In the game's map, besides various side quests, there were also monster nests, hidden treasure chests, and Places of Power that can increase skill points. When there was a Place of Power nearby, the White Wolf would say: "My medallion is vibrating, there must be a Place of Power nearby."
But now Ben felt that they could totally change Place of Power to sorceress, especially after seeing Philippa, who was being persecuted by Radovid, on the ship in Novigrad. She even complained that everyone on the ship except two people had slept with Geralt.
This isn't Geralt, this is Geralt the god!
Judging by the current mood, Ben felt that there would definitely be more later. He thought he definitely wouldn't be able to avoid Yennefer, but he didn't know if there would be anyone else.
"Ugh, there's no way to refuse Triss! And then there's Yennefer, what am I going to do?" Ben couldn't help but sigh.
Can he choose to have them all?
But just as Ben was struggling, the White Wolf in the game was still savoring the moment, and Dandelion was leaning against a pillar outside the lighthouse.
He said he had something important to discuss with Geralt.
"So you've been hanging out in this corner all night?" Ben was speechless looking at Dandelion.
But he was quickly drawn in by the quest line that Dandelion told him about.
Dandelion said that as long as Radovid, the bald king, was still alive, his crazy persecution wouldn't stop. Plus, he himself was being hunted by Redania.
So, whether it was for the sake of the White Wolf himself, or for the sake of the sorceresses like Triss, or for himself, Dandelion decided to assassinate Radovid, and wanted to pull the White Wolf into his group.
"Can you really decide the rise and fall of the empire in the game?" Ben was also surprised.
Because here he discovered that he could choose to accept or refuse.
This wasn't a fixed line, but divided into different ending branches?
Ben guessed in his heart.
But at this time, he didn't immediately choose to accept the quest.
After all, Ciri was still waiting for him.
Even though he was playing Gwent, sleeping with female elves and sorceresses, and fighting, he was still very concerned about Ciri's safety.
Arriving at the Skellige Isles, the scenery here was taken from real-life Northern Europe, with strong folk customs and a belief in natural religion. The throne of the archipelago wasn't hereditary, but was chosen by voting, like a tribal system.
And here, as Ben thought, the main focus became Yennefer.
When Geralt arrived, the island was holding a funeral for the previous leader. During this time, the banter between the White Wolf and Yennefer made people smile.
'You smell good.'
'Geralt, there's a funeral going on.'
'You smell good at this funeral.'
Of course, jokes aside, the things that need to be done still have to be done. Of course, this doesn't mean that Yennefer and Geralt happily spent the whole night riding a unicorn together, but rather the investigation into Ciri's whereabouts.
At the same time, players can also feel Yennefer's concern for Ciri.
Compared to the White Wolf Geralt's steadiness, Yennefer was more decisive, and also a bit crazy.
At the funeral, she stole the dangerous magic mask of the Archdruid, and even used forbidden necromancy, making the sacred garden that the island had believed in for thousands of years wither.
During this time, the two of them also caught a djinn. At the same time, from the conversation between the White Wolf and Yennefer, Ben also learned more information.
That is, the reason why Yennefer and the White Wolf were together in the first place was actually because of the magic of this strange creature.
And what Yennefer wanted to do now was to break the magic and see if their love was magic or reality. After breaking the curse, Yennefer breathed a sigh of relief, saying that everything was the same as before, and that she still loved the White Wolf.
At the same time, players can also make corresponding choices here. Looking at Yennefer in front of him, Ben in the game also sighed.
How can I choose?
He was that way with Triss before, but could he really bear to refuse Yennefer in front of him?
Obviously, there was no way to refuse!
Sighing, Ben silently chose the option of still loving her.
Boss Lucas is so mean! He's forcing my Geralt to be a jerk!
But why does it still feel a little happy?
Ben in the game smiled happily.
As the story progressed, Yennefer and the White Wolf finally pieced together what had happened to Ciri.
The place where Ciri first appeared was also the Skellige Isles, and it was also the place where she last appeared. The mysterious elven mage from before was Ciri's companion on her escape.
The strange little monster that Geralt saw in Velen was probably either the elf or Ciri.
So Geralt returned to Velen and asked for Uma, taking him to Kaer Morhen.
Here, Vesemir wanted to use a gentler method to see if he could break Uma's curse, because it was very likely that it was Ciri who was cursed, but it would take a night.
During this time, Geralt finally had some time to relax. The wolf pack brothers reunited after a long time and drank all night. During this time, there was also a scene where they stole Yennefer's clothes and cross-dressed, directly acting out what is called brotherhood under the moon.
The next day, Vesemir said disappointedly that his method didn't work, and Yennefer decided to boldly use the method of fighting poison with poison, using the witcher's Trial of the Grasses and the artifact that Ciri left with Whoreson Junior, along with the sorceress's methods.
After all three methods were used, the curse was lifted, but it wasn't Ciri but the elven mage. However, he told them that he had hidden the seriously injured Ciri.
Getting the clue, the White Wolf immediately set off to find Ciri, while the others stayed in Kaer Morhen to prepare for the Wild Hunt's attack.
But when the White Wolf arrived at the indicated island, he only found Ciri's cold corpse.
"What the heck... not way, right? Is Boss Lucas up to something again?" Ben's heart trembled. This was so familiar, it was a standard Boss Lucas routine.
He lets you feel happy at first, and then stabs you hard in the back.
Did Ciri really die?
The White Wolf in the game was also stunned. You could feel how sad he was from his trembling steps. He walked to the bed and hugged Ciri.
But the next moment, a pair of arms also hugged the White Wolf. It turned out that Ciri had only used magic to fall into a state of suspended animation.
"Sure enough! I knew Boss Lucas wouldn't be so heartless! Luckily, I didn't have time to cry yet!" Ben couldn't help but show a happy smile.
The happy rhythm and mood from before, and he didn't stab the player, has Boss Lucas really changed?
From great sadness to great joy, it was only an instant.
And this scene of father and daughter reuniting made Ben decide to praise Lucas well after completing the game.
Whoever dares to scold Boss Lucas, he'll be the first to get angry at them!
