An unprepared witcher is a dead witcher, something that is highly evident on normal difficulty in this game. Witchers rely on oils, traps, spells and cunning to beat the deadly foes that are their quarry. No one trusts a witcher, those enigmas with vertical pupils and two swords.īut the truth of them is closely guarded: while witchers possess strength and senses vastly superior to those of normal humans, they are not superhuman as the myths would make out. And thus, many years ago, the witchers were born.įorsaking their humanity, witchers train to fight the monsters of the dark, roaming mercenaries that are shunned wherever they go, their visits to towns lasting only as long as there are monsters to be slain or curses to be lifted. Where the fat, corrupt guards of cities ignore the pleas of the peasants and citizens, someone needs to rise up. A world where graveyards need to be locked at night.
A terrifying world where monsters have invaded from another sphere of reality and now lurk in the sewers and swamps. Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings takes the player on a dark adventure into a world of politics, racism, conspiracy and regicide.
