My thoughts about Iorweth

[УберСтас]

I've completed the game for the first time through Iorweth's path, and now I do understand why alot of people were sad that he wasn't in Witcher 3. I know that alot of content were cut from Witcher 3 and he was a part of it (same as Roche, barely present in the game) which is disappointing, even tho the game was amazing nonetheless...

I also unironically wish for an alternate universe, where Lambert would be the protagonist of Witcher 4 instead of Ciri.

I guess I would prefer that too.
But what I would like the most - having a new game set in the time of first witchers.

THIS! On toast please! That would be amazing. Monsters all over the place, instead of hunting like mad, or leaving one hoping the horde will re-pop (Witcher 3).

Wouldn't it be great if it was so bad you were having to run and hide a lot? Okay, maybe not a lot, but and I don't know if the books go into this... Was Phase in still happening when they started to make the Witchers? Or was it mass roaming and over-powering everything that was the problem?

Some of the monsters that Witchers worried about just out right maybe making you fail a quest because:

1) You didn't set up a trap for a monster in a good (for you area)
2) Research well enough before the fight (kinda #1) but add's of another kinda of monster joining in
3) Getting outright over powered because you misjudge the monster or didn't have enough info yet.

I know, list under things that will never happen, but being from different Witcher communities and getting new info (cause the Bear cracked X monster) and now you have something new to try would be so cool.

Edit to add: Sorry should of addressed OP. I went down his path as well and *really* enjoyed the story. Was also sad he wasn't in the next game. He made a lot of sense about a number of things that I enjoyed the conversations with his character. Didn't care for Roche too much. Started another play through with the idea of seeing his path but went... nah. I'm good with the ending I got.

Do you mean the Conjunction of the spheres? If yes, then it was the people who got into the world of dwarves/elves first, and the monsters got into it later - that's when mages started making witchers (if I'm not mistaken about this pattern tho). Tbh I don't quite remember if this aspect was talked about in the books, but there definitely was enough interesting things about Witcher's universe, that games didn't got to develop/continue - for now atleast. I'm interested in what Witcher 4 would offer (but I will definitely need to upgrade my pc to play it ). Also, there were some interesting worldbuilding additions in standalone Gwent game, and the game itself is very fun once you're done learning the basics.

As for Iorweth and Roche: I think that Roche's path is also quite interesting, it's just that alot of people are ignoring Iorweth simply for the fact that he's not present in Witcher 3 but Roche is, and thinking that there are no reason to try siding with different character.
TL:DR - Iorweth's path is kinda underrated. And I also don't wanna leave Saskia under Philippa's spell
