I planned a heist, recruited team members, and cringed as my plan fell apart. In between these living stories and fluid narratives are engrossing quests. While many women in The Witcher 3 play minor roles, often supplemental to men, Shani is a vivid character in her own. Once again, CD Projekt Red excels at capturing the details. Shani even knows how many scars Geralt accumulated since last they met-27, to be exact. It's not often you can read into animated characters' body language, but here, Shani's lingering glances and Geralt's looser gestures tell a story in themselves. Listen as Geralt softens the edge in his voice. CD Projekt Red conveys it with expert dialogue and subtle visual cues. If you don't remember, or weren't aware of that history from the earlier games, it doesn't matter too much.
She's a foil to both Geralt and the dark world he lives in-maybe that's the reason for their romantic past. While many women in The Witcher 3 play minor roles, often supplemental to men, Shani is a vivid character in her own right.
Shani's mother wants her to find a husband, but she's too busy with her own medical practice, and doesn't feel the need for a serious partner. She's quick witted, but only gives that away the more time you spend with her. In fact, Shani's much smarter than Geralt: your responses have a time limit more frequently when speaking with her. She's equal parts charming, caring, and clever. She's my favorite character here, and maybe in all of The Witcher 3. Hearts of Stone reintroduces Shani, the medic from Oxenfurt, who reprises her role from the original Witcher. There are more than cobwebs inside this manor.īut there are good people in the Northern Kingdoms, too, however few and far between. Hearts of Stone paints him in a complex fashion, melding his odd behavior with a strange charm, thereby creating someone who doesn't fit any archetype. You get the sense he knows far more than he lets on. He's a character who makes you feel uneasy with a glance and, even when he seemed relaxed, I always had my thumb hovering over the attack button. Geralt calls him the Merchant of Mirrors. Many of these storylines trace back to one man: Gaunter O'Dimm. It's this willingness to take successful risks that sets these quests, and the story they compose, apart. Hearts of Stone runs the gamut of fantasy tropes, but subverts every one. They even ventured into metaphysical environments, and gorgeous as they were, there's a haunting presence to them. Quests never resolved how I expected them to, and seldom how I hoped. CD Projekt Red presents its own dark take on weddings, haunted houses, and the story of the prince and the frog. It's difficult to talk about these elements without ruining the experience as a whole.
