Being the final content for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Blood and Wine was under a lot of pressure to provide a satisfying conclusion for Geralt of Rivia in his video game iteration. Looking at the reviews and how after five years most of the fans are still interested in the game (this piece being a good proof), Blood and Wine pretty much exceeded expectations.
Still, that isn't to say that Blood and Wine is perfect. Much like Hearts of Stone and the base game, it came with a slew of plot holes and inconsistencies-- all side effects of crafting a complex magical dark fantasy world. Here are 10 of those things that prevented Blood and Wine from being faultless.
10 ♉ CIRI COULD HAVE SOLVED TONS OF PROBLEM🌳S
Blood and Wine's main quest, due to its high level requirement, is usually meant to be played after the base game's main quest. That very well means Geralt would have already 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:rescued Ciri and probably even made her empress or witcher.
Too bad Blood and Wine's narrative didn't allow for much of her involvement because she could have solved hal🐼f the problems in the DLC's plot. Heck, she can probably even do a huge favor for the Unseen Elder and op🧸ened a portal to the vampire homeworld. Why didn't she?
9 🍃 GERALT BECOMES RICH
It's understandable why the whole game ended up giving Geralt Corvo Bianco 🐷and set him up for life-- it's his conclusion. However, this wasn't even the first time Geralt helped a whole kingdom, in fact, he did help Emhyr var Emreis with Ciri and even Foltest in the first two games.
Being Geralt, he rejected all their rewards but suddenly didn't shy away from a vineyard? That's not very witcherly of him. Moreover, Geralt can reject Triss' idea of settling down comfortably in a nice house but would still accept a whole mansion and plot of land and even in🦩vite Triss with him. Maybe he just prefers Toussaint over Kovir?
8 THE FABLESPHERE IS WAY TOO POWER💖FUL
The Fablesphere or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Land of a Thousand Fables was a hidden realm created by a powerful sorcerer for Anna Henrietta and Sylvia Anna as a gift. Apparently, time there is slower than in the outside world and it just so happens 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that Syanna mathematically spent 40 years there just hiding from Dettlaff or pr🌃ior to that.
From that rule, s♛he's supposed to look like a senior citizen, which she isn't which probably means that aging doesn't work like that in the Fablesphere. A person can live there and spend centuries there without aging, practically learning knowledge worth a thousand years or building something great. So why aren't kings funding such a thing?
7 SYANNA DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO LIE TO DETTLAFFಞ
Dettlaff often seems infantile in behavior and even🎐 naive. He's practically head over heels for Syanna🧸, given the lengths he went through to save her. Syanna, being a master manipulator, surely could have known this.
However, instead of being honest to him regarding her quest for vengeance, she pulls an overcomplicated kidnapping scheme. Given how 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:deeply in love Dettlaff was, there's a big chance he would just willingly punish those who hurt Syanna. That ﷺw🅺ould have made for a more powerful enemy.
6 ꦡ DETTLAFF LETTING SYANNA HIDE
When Dettlaff soon found out that Syanna played him like a harp, players expectꩵed the latter to be ripped to shreds on the spot. Instead, Dettlaff does the opposite and... lets her hide which was weird since he was planning to kill herꦅ later on.
Regis chalks it up to Dettlaff not wanting to act rashlꦡy except that's still what he did later on and it's also out-of-character and illogical for him to let prey 🌄escape given his rage. Besides, was there any real need to give Syanna three days to come up with an explanation?
5 DETTLAFF IS MಞO🐲RE INSANE THAN CONFLICTED
One odd thing about Blood and Wine's exposition is that most of the "white" in Dettlaff's grey area mo🧜ral🐷ity is only told by Regis who owed the former a ton. Regis paints Dettlaff as honorable and genuinely kind.
Except Dettlaff also massacred innocents in Toussaint when Syanna didn't show up after his 3-day grace period. Well, it does sound true to his word but was he really that naive to ignore the fact that the people of Toussaint had nothing to do with it? Maybe Regis was wron🌱g in his ass💮umption of Dettlaff. Maybe Dettlaff was just a plot device.
4 WHAT HA🃏PPENED BETWEEN THOSE 3 DAYS AFTER DETTLAFF'S THREAT?
The Witcher 3 barely robs players of agency, so when Blood and Wine did just that by skipping the timeframe three days forward, it was questionable. It's l♑ike the writers just wanted to make the players assume that Geralt, Regis, and Anna Henrietta did nothing in thos🌜e three days.
Turns out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Regis had an idea all along-- only he suggested it as soon as Dettlaff carried on his mass murder in Toussaint. They could have tried that three days earlier before Dettlaff depopulated dark fantasy💎 Disneyland.
3 ♛ INCONSISTENCIES WITH VAMPIRES
Now, on to the lore. Regis makes it perfectly clear that only higher vampires can kill other higher vampires. However, there has been an instance where Geralt killed what appeared to be a higher vampire, such as that cranky vampire in𝕴 the coffin🍌.
Okay, maybe that dude was𝔍 a lying Katakan wannabe. Still, the previous witcher games placed Katakans, Ekimmaras, Bruxas, and other intelligible vampires as higher vampires but Geralt still killed those back then. This only makes Regis' new rule of who's a higher vampire and who can kill what more confusing.
2 ꧂ WHAT KIND OF VAMPIRE IS ORIANNA?
Speaking of vampire inconsistencies, Orianna in Blood and Wine is a very wealthy vampire who's a good friend of Regis 𓄧in Toussaint. One would think that she's also a higher ♏vampire due to her status, circle, and sophistication but apparently, she's just a mere Bruxa. Geralt even kills her in .
How and why a Bruxa got into Toussaint high-soౠciety, made friends with the Unseen Elder and Regis, and even ran her own orphanage is odd for someone her vampire class. Unless maybe she's a special promoted Bruxa, but in that case, would that make her a higher vꦿampire?
1 HOW DID THE HI🥃GHER VAMPIRES IN TOUSSAINT DISAPPEAR? ༺
In regards to only higher vampires being ab💝le to kill their own weight class, inter-higher-vampire killing is also punishable by exile. In this case, it's assumed that they don't really kill each other the same way humans do other humans.
That rule is sacred among higher vampires. In that case, how did they ever get wiped out from Tesham Mutna? Based on the in-game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:lore books, there are legions of h💯igher vampires in Tesham Mutna but seeing as they can only be killed by their own kind, witcher💧 or human intervention should be useless. In that case, Toussaint's human kingdoms shouldn't have existed at all.
