does the UC not have a department of terrormorph control? why am i seeking out some special scientist guy instead of handing this extremely important sample to an official agency? and why am supposed to CLEAR THIS with my institutional superior? wouldn't he be like, "no, idiot, take it to the department of terrormorph control!"

also, another official UC employee on New Atlantis received stolen property from a child, paid for it, admitted to this openly, and then demanded a bribe to return it to the proper owner, which happens to be another branch of the UC! i could not report this obvious crime to anyone, and when I stole it back (which is not theft because the person in possession was not the rightful owner), my companion disapproved.

the child in question later told me he couldnt play because he was "grounded," outside, in the middle of the night.

why are you role playing as a cop

AAA devs cannot comprehend that governments, even in fantastical sci-fi, can have any function apart from the military and the police

just look at the Lodge, the responsibility of discovering the mysteries of the universe falls to some fruity club funded by billionaires?

Didn't yennifer do magical genie shenanigans to hook up with geralt too? (Or maybe that wasn't on purpose, I'm not really up on my pre-3 Witcher lore)

Honestly he should ditch them both and hook up with the doctor lady from the DLC

geralt hosed things up because of the wish he made with the genie. they go back to undo the wish and the consequences are a major blow to team triss

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Wish posted:

After a fight, Geralt realizes that the genie is bound to him, who last held the seal to its urn. It granted his first wish by obeying the "exorcism" (which literally translated as an instruction to "gently caress off"), granted his second by killing one of the guards beating him in prison, and is now awaiting his final wish. Geralt uses his wish in an unknown way that saves Yennefer, and the genie escapes.

Under the rubble of the inn, Yennefer and Geralt make love.

in the first witcher game theres a quest where the townspeople are persecuting a local herb seller they think is a witch whos eating their children or something. turns out she is, but your options are to protect the inbred hicks who by the way hate you to or gently caress a witch and geralt has never met a witch he didnt end up loving

Yennifer did some mindcontrol pranks, Geralt did some genie-ing. That's just how they roll

That's like the prologue of the first game. Also the town hicks were well just a mob looking to lynch someone, anyone.
