In fact, all people - from Christian saints to the worst maniacs - are mixtures of those good and bad deeds and affections. As it is in the real life, there are no wholly bad or good persons (after all, nobody commits evil deeds for evil's sake, the motive of committing evil always serves some good - love, security, power, money, etc), but there are bad and good deeds (clemency or crimes, honesty or trespasses, moral or amoral behavior) which have their consequences. Good and evil in The Witcher 3 are not so grotesque as usual in games, movies and books. Bloody Baron, Lambert, Cossack's ataman Olgierd. Conversations with him deliver real pleasure. Above-mentioned Dijkstra, calculating cynic is in fact an idealist who dreams to build a modern state, and, having gone through his own romantic heartbreak with sorceress seems genuinely committed to improve relations between Geralt and Triss. Even minor characters are sometimes gorgeous. Relationships in this love triangle are described so thoroughly that I was tempted to (and deed) apply to them classification of love by CS Lewis, like they were real. Not to mention that she used Garalt's amnesia to seduce him even though he was love of her "friend" Yen. On the other hand, good-natured and wise Triss sometimes seems imposturous, with temper tantrums, and even rage and cruelty. You can suspect that you might finally get to the "vulnerable soul" of the power-loving and selfish ***** Yen, but this knowledge still will not make it much easier for you to reject Yen out there on the ship abandoned on the top of the mountain when she reveals her feelings to Geralt, appearing to be lonely, frightened and vulnerable child. The characters in the game are deep and well-developed. Drunk scene in Kaer Morhene was just a control shot in the lifeless body of my inner sceptic, which was already dead before the trip on Skellige islands.

But the real crushing blow was expertly prepared and delivered by the developers in Novigrad in the story quests and dialogues with the charismatic Dijkstra and beautiful Triss. It was already an alarming symptom for my inner sceptic.

The second "bell" rang during the ending of the Bloody Baron quest, when all appeared not as unambiguously as sceptic in me suspected. So my choices was true to me and mattered. And my actions in the game resulted in logical consequences (the ending of the game turned out to be about exactly as what I expected and wanted). The first alarm sounded for my inner sceptic during the side quests (not your usual "fetch it" quests) - I have almost always been able to do what I thought was right, rather than to choose between childish caricatures on "good" and "evil" which are plaguing not only modern games, but also cinema and literature.

But about two months ago I've got some free time and The Witcher 3 suddenly consumed me so deeply that it tore me out of the real world, plunging into the fantastic universe of witchers, sorceresses and palace intrigues. Therefore I've expected nothing from The Witcher 3 and for months have launched it occasionally, never submerging into the story. First of all I must say that I'm not a fan of the two previous Witcher games, nor a fan of Sapkowski's books either.
