5 Unanswered Questions in The Witcher 3 [Lore Mysteries] 

I wish a lot of characters would stay in the world after the main game, well just the characters that would kinda make sense like letho in kaer morhen and maybe avallach in his place at skellige etc.

Geralt's ride with the Hunt would have been a great opportunity to add some depth and villainous awesomeness to Eredin, Imlerith and Caranthir. They turned out to be quite bland characters, unfortunately, because they barely get a few dialogue lines, in a game that normally shines with top-notch dialogues (and swords); and I had a hard time taking them seriously, unlike Gaunter or Dettlaff. I hope the Witcher 1 remake adds some flashbacks of Geralt's riding with the Hunt.

I like the writing for this episode a lot. "Left you hanging" "few cards short of a gwent deck." Good stuff mang

Letho in Zerrekenia sounds amazing. Im Interested in anything that takes plays in places we've never seen before like 90% of the Nilfgardian empire.

in fact, the entire plot of Scoia'tael, which are very present in the first and second game, is well overlooked in the third, which is a little sad

I fricking love Neon Knight.

Another story left open is the guest where Priscilla gets attacked. if you kill the wrong suspect, the actual perp tells you you chose wrong and this is never acknowledged again I do not see geralt letting something like that go.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Avalach. I was left wondering what happened to him after defeating the Wild Hunt and seeing as how he was an important character in the main story, i thought there would be a conclusion.

My personal opinion is that Bloody Baron found a cure for Anna and kept his promise to Tamara. In the 10th anniversary video, BB looks very happy and even if almost everybody had some drinks to celebrate, BB has only some food (chicken leg?) in hand and no drink is noticeable near him. 😊 Sorry for my english

I hadn't thought about Letho as a potential main character. That would be awesome!

Having an entire game set in between the books and the Witcher 1 would be amazing. Showing Yennefer getting abducted as the Wild Hunt tries to draw out Ciri, and Geralt tracking them down alongside the Vipers, with plenty of Geralt's usual monster contract (he's gotta pay the bills if he's to track an army of wraiths across a continent) and Gwent shenanigans in between. The latter stage of the game is Geralt's time with the Hunt and him gaining amnesia. There could even be an epilogue section where you play as Letho, who alongside Serrit and Auckes were trying to keep an amnesiac Yennefer from getting herself killed, ultimately causing them all to be captured by Emhyr and conscripted into his service, leading into the Wticher 2.

I am *really* hoping Witcher 4 sheds some light on Letho and the Viper school. Even at the point of Witcher 3, witchers as a whole are more or less becoming antiques. Seeing what he could do would be quite interesting.

Yeah Letho does seem to have a lot of potential as a main character for his own spin off game especially if his main goal is to establish the school of the Viper outside the Nilfgaard's reach. Also it really is a shame that CDPR has made DLC Gerlt's time in the wild hunt.

Something about the Viper school, I dunno if anyone notice some of those relic swords in B&W are Viper school gear. For example, like Fen'aeth and Tah'rel (Which shown as witcher item while loot the diagram), both of them has snake figure pommel, and their in-game IDs are Serpent Silver Sword schematic 1 and 2, same as those steel swords like Faramond's blade and Faithful Friend. I assume they probably had related quest as designed at some point, but for some reason CDPR scrapped the idea. Besides, from the witcher wiki, the location of viper school is at Gorthur Gvaed, where Tir Tochair mountain is, and Toussaint is around that area.

What no love for Odrin? The man is a legend, with a thousand tales to his name, a true Man of the Road. Last I heard he was fleecing tourists in Toussaint.

You're killing me with these puns man, to the point where I actually feel bad for laughing XD "Depending on your actions the conclusion to the baron story leaves him hanging, not you." "It was pretty clear during her questline that she was already a few Gwent cards short of a full deck."

“Left he hanging, not you” 💀

Whenever Neon Knight releases a video, my day is instantly 10x better.

"A few Gwent cards short of a full deck" - love it

I have a theory that the "hermit in the Blue Mountains" that the Bloody Baron heard about might actually be Vesemir since that's where Kaer Morhen is located. It's a stretch though and there's nothing else confirming that

I hope that with Second Conjunction at the end of the Witcher 3 some older Witcher schools like the viper, bear, etc will play a role in rebuilding their schools along with the new schools

What happened to Foltests daughter? shes supposed to be next in line as queen of Temeria

GREAT video, Neon Knight! I've been replaying W2 recently and I'm *very* intrigued about Geralt's time as a Red Rider in the Wild Hunt and have already included mentions of this in my current fan fiction. I am really seriously thinking about writing a separate fanfic of this period of Geralt's life. There are no limits - only imagination since it's wide open and not restricted by the lore of the books. I also wondered what happened to Avallac'h after the defeat of the Wild Hunt. I expected some kind of closure or hint as well because with all the effort, time, grooming, training he did with Ciri - to just leave seems to me to be a very lazy and weak ending so I've included Avallac'h post W3 in my fanfiction as well so I can continue their stories and draw to a lore-friendly conclusion. Finding out what Eskel does post W3 is also a good story that is wide open. The journal entry says that he eventually returned to be Kaer Morhen's caretaker but in game dialogue to Geralt made it sound like he didn't ever want to come back that it would never feel like home without Vesemir. But that could have been just his grief speaking. Bet there's a good story hidden in there somewhere. I see him returning to KM. Of course - Iorveth's and even Saskia's stories should absolutely be continued and I think CDPR will really anger fans if they didn't so I bet he will be a main character in the new series. We shall see!

0:38 See, this is one of the reasons I keep coming back to your videos. That sharp wit cuts me out of nowhere when I least expect it

I like your thoughts about these unanswered questions and the way you summarised some info, it was really nice to see it from such perspective. I'm waiting for the "what Geralt would do" video with all my patience, but I'm also really excited about it!

Living for your videos right now

This channel is a gem.

Wow I'm not normally this early yo neon you're content is great just wanted to let you know the dedication and time you put into making these videos is phenomenal and has single handedly got me back into Witcher 3 and it's universe and lore keep up the great work man

Nah the baron hanging joke was lit💀💀💀

I’m a helpless, hopeless Witcher addict with 1,500+ hours total in just TW3, and in my most recent play-through I got the non-fatal Bloody Baron resolution for the first time. I felt so good about it that I had to stop playing for a while, just to let it sink in, so to speak. I don’t care how long it takes, I will be here for the next Witcher game and will be the first in line to purchase it. I can only hope that Neon Knight will be there, too.

I'm definitely with you on Letho - he's such an interesting character, I'd love to see him playable at some point, or at the very least, in a major protagonist role.

"A few gwent cards short of a full deck" I AM SO USING THAT LMAO

before i subbed i didn't even notice i had already watched 75% of neon knights vids, i rly jus thought i was watching xLetalis but damn am i pleasantly surprised that a new ytber makes such content. 11/10

"leaves him hanging, not you" 🤣

Great video, thank you.

Before I watch the video: what are higher vampires?

You’re jokes didn’t go unnoticed 😂 great video!

A huge open world with selection of your witcher school at the start with famous witchers for some of them (Letho, Eskel/Lambert) with distinctive main story lines would be superb for a next game. A DLC with an adventure story of younger Vessemir would be appreciated much as well.

This made my day

Ngl, Neon Knight videos are actually worth looking forward to.

nice video! and good to know cdpr is watching your vids and good story telling is saved :)

Being a few Gwent cards short of a full deck is simply delightful way to say someone's completely and utterly nuts

As a rather new Witcher fan (I watched the show when the first season came out and then started playing the Witcher 3 and I’m now reading Blood of Elves) I absolutely love NeonKnights videos. They give me a lot more exposition on stuff and even just make me want to learn even more about the Witcher. I honestly just wish he had even more content! Much love y’all!

It's nice to hear 2 get some love. 3 is amazing but I feel like 2 fits the books better and in a lot of ways it's my favorite. I wish 3 had felt like it was better connected. I really hope that we get to keep on with the story. I think they could keep Garalt as the main character. Have something happen to someone he loves and you have a story. I would live a prequel. Something where he fights monsters as yhe main source of difficulty. For the most part it was easy especially in 3. A format where you do the short stories with chapters without a huge overarching theme could be fresh and amazing.

Ngl I’ve played the Witcher 3 5 times all the way through. Everytime I finished it with the Witcher Ciri ending, and always assumed that the next games would focus on her. PLAYING AS LETHO OR ESKEL HAS ENVOKED A HYPE I DIDNT KNOW I COULD HAVE!!! Literally never could’ve imagined anyone besides ciri SOMEHOW!! You are legend

Nice video bro!

What I found glaring in Baron's quest conclusion if Anna is alive but loses her mind is Baron admonishes Tamara for trying to take Anna to Oxenfurt for treatment. "Where are you taking her? Oxenfurt? She will die in her condition!" He implies that Anna is in a such weakened state, she would not survive a long journey from Velen to Oxenfurt. But then, a few moments later, Baron himself said he is taking her to the Blue Mountain, which is much, much farther to the east. Since both Baron and Anna are nowhere to be found in Crow's Perch after the quest, it suggests the two made the journey right away without any delay, despite Baron's earlier doubt against Tamara's idea.

That flashback at 2:33 always confused me. It shows another witcher that isn't Geralt, Letho, Auckes, or Serrit.I don't think he ever gets mentioned by name. Are we supposed to assume it's the same witcher assassin that tried to kill Foltest at the end of first Witcher game?

Eskel fate is that he found his way onto a sub-par Witcher series, and got killed off by a Leshen

This man never misses.

I was shocked back when the game was out about it missing Iorveth after playing to the point where you reach Vernon. Felt like something was definitely missing there.

What do you mean „hear more about Eskel”? Thought he had turned canonically into a mighty oak tree 🫠 Sarcasm aside, your takes on those questions sound really promising, can’t wait for the next games!

"A few gwent cards short" will be in use from now on. Thanks

Really fresh video! Do you think Ciri rescuing Geralt from the Wild Hunt might work as a plot for one of the future games?

I played the Witcher 3 back in 2017 or so and then finally got around to listening to the books over the past year. I kept waiting for Geralt to go off with the Wild Hunt and was very surprised when it never happened.

Geralt's time with the Wild Hunt always fascinated me as in I'd like to know alot more>

The thing with Iorweth is, he could have been in the NG version, if the NG version had actually been TW3's Enhanced Edition. They could have restored that original storyline providing us with a much more coherent Act 3.

Could you do a video on upxoming witcher games? Up until now I didnt even know there was any plans for that hahaha.

Whenever I watch your videos, I’m reminded of how much (probably really good) planned content was ultimately cut from TW3. TW3 remains one of the most densely-packed RPG’s, in terms of both quantity and quality of quests, lore, and content. Absolutely crazy that it was originally planned to have EVEN MORE quests and storylines.

The viper school's surviving and rebirth is one thing i really hope for in the next game.

Holy sheet. New pog video...

Oh my god. A game where you play as a letho rebuilding witcher school and dealing with all possible struggles could be amazing. It should be short but rich game nothing in the scale of Witcher 3.

Let's and the viper school sounds so good and so fun I can't wait to learn more about The witcher 4 ( polaris ) I hope they revisit some things like that I've been playing God of war and elden ring which are both great games buy anytime I watch neon knight,witcher George or xletalis and hear the witcher music I get instantly nostalgic and hyped for more witcher games

Love that Wild Hunt armour it should be in the game

I don't know if this is known, but I noticed something new while playing. If you go to Kaer Morhen and interact with the witcher George mural. Geralt will comment on it.

Expanding on your point, it would be very interesting to see what it was like to see Geralt’s time with the wild hunt. I suggest maybe they could do a mini series or an audio drama series as a way to expand on what happened, which could act as marketing material for the Witcher 1 remaster.

Would love to see more olgierd content and professor shakeslock stuff related to gaunter

I’m always a few cards short of a full deck as well

So many open books to explore in the franchise. If the whole game isn't about one of these then I think the expansion sized W3 DLCs can give us hope.

I feel like with the entire next game hopefully being ciri as protagonist we could have moments i could totally see flash back stuff for geralt in the wild hunt like we got with her quest in 3

Your pun game is on point this episode

I'm playing the game right now 🌹 Neon knight How about a video with your touch about the witcher armor about all gear set

When I first started playing, I would just click on the random answers at the beginning of the game when Emyr's handy man would ask about what happened before the start of Witcher 3. I didn't know what each answer would mean for game play. I think a good idea for a video would be what each response to the questions means for future game play.

Obviously there are some intentional loose endes, which should be the case for good role play games. However, it is kind of sad how much stuff was apparently cut of which some can still be found in the game files, without ever being resumed or added post release (hell I would even have paid some extra money for another expansion with some of the cut stuff), maybe just because it wasn't ready on time for release.

Few gwent cards short of a full deck 🤣 I gotta start using that expression.

My hope for the next game is that you can customize your own witcher. That being said they could include that some of the schools have been rebuilt to some extent after they found a way to make more witchers. Maybe a second conjunction takes place because of the ending of the 3rd game and the white frost. Sending more monsters into the world would revive the need for witchers again. Geralt being retired can come into play as at one point you need to ask for his help. I'm spit balling but if they go the route of creating your own witcher character then a trilogy could be made from that.

Personally for the next Witcher game if Ciri becoming Emperor is the canon ending then I could see them having Ciri get in touch with Geralt in order to track down Letho and fix her father's mistake of not living up to his end of the deal with Letho. Then they can either go one of two ways. The game focuses on Letho rebuilding the school of the viper with a jump in time and the new MC is a student of the school and Letho has become the Viper School's Vesemir. Then Geralt shows up for a visit and he and Letho have a nice long conversation one night and get into the whole wild hunt topic. Gives them a way to finally answer questions without it being the focal point. Second option could include or not include Ciri funding the rebuilding of the school of the viper and other schools but I think the main thrust would be she has a child, Geralt is now the Vesemir style character, teaches the kid who is basically his grandson and off the game goes. Personally I like the second option only because it kind of keeps the line of Geralt/Yen and Ciri going which I think fans want. Plus there is nothing saying said "grandkid" couldn't make there way to the School of the Viper for some reason or another.

I don't see the need for resolving everyone's story, The Bloody Baron's fate beyond completing the quest would be irrelevant to Geralt just as it would be for anyone in his shoes. You don't know about the fate of coworkers or schoolmates you were friendly with but haven't seen in years, leaving the Bloody Baron's fate unknown is natural, it's what would be and what we all have experienced in real life. As for recurring characters, no matter how important they were bringing them back is often a mistake if they don't really fit in the location. Everyone just happens to move to the new area the new game is in for no real reason? Why was Phillipa in that ruin? Wouldn't she have fled Loc Muine and Radovid by going outside of his kingdom rather than near one of his important cities? Why would Iorveth go to Velen or Novigrad rather than back to the Pontar Valley? Shoe horning them into the world where you wouldn't expect them to be makes for crappy explanations most of the time or just leaves the why up in the air. Side characters that are important to one region are best left in that region rather than following the player from region to region just to have recurring characters. I would much rather new characters than a shoehorned old one.

So I played the Witcher 3 for the first time over the Christmas and I completely immersed myself in the game neglecting kids and family, then I completed everything even the DLCs and all major and secondary quests. Now my life feels empty

7:04 I remember that in a live of the tenth anniversary of the witcher Pawel Sasko said that they wanted to include Iorveth (one of his favorite characters) in TW3 but there was no way, since it did not fit into the story, he said.

okay i never knew i wanted a letho zerrikania game until now

i remember a mision of witcher going after yenefer i dont remember it was years ago when i 1st played witcher 1 or 2 dont remember . but i have flash backs of a mision going to save yenefer

0:37 💀💀💀

I got a big unanswered question. i just beat The Witcher 3 for the 8th time yesterday and just had a thought about something that i haven't seen anyone talk about. At the end of the game Ciri and Avallach'h basically made a conjunction of spheres on undvik to stop the white frost but my question is what happen to all of those monsters that got put on undvik? I know in game their not there anymore but did Ciri and Avallach'h accidentally repopulate the world of the witcher with more monsters. Maybe The Witcher 4 will touch on this. What are your guys thoughts on this.

will you make a break down of Witcher 3 decisions (like you did for Witcher 2)?

I have a couple of questions too: where is avallac'h after the ending? And i doesn't understand what is the effect of making a deal with this elf (i know that he is a wild hunt general or something) that avallac'h sends us to by portals?

I'm so happy I played witcher 2 before 3. It's so good and has solid back story to alot of questions. Like who is Roche.

I said Letho lived when having that convo, and he was still no where to be found when I did that quest where he was supposed to be there.

"a few gwent cards short of a full deck" I laughed so hard :D

The fate of John Natalis also annoys me, he is an honorable leader and the only one who resisted Nilfgard at a large scale. He went into hiding. But where. Is he alive? What happened? Also from his importance and how much the men underhim respect him he could be the perfect choice for the new King of Tameria

What about saesenthessis? Missed her aswell in the witcher 3. Maybe Saskia will get combined in the Iorveth story

"Leaves him hanging, not you" Good God, man!! XD

Playing letho would be amazing. Make a different move set with different magic. Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥

There is a very cool art project that a girl did on possible Zerrikania adventure. Of course it was for Geralt but concept art is beautiful.

“Leaves him hanging” lmao

Isn’t Lormark what Henselt calls Upper Aedirn in game 2? Maybe we’ll hear from the characters from the Iorveth path if they tell a story with Eskel there? I know by the last game, things aren’t how Geralt left them over in Vergen, but I doubt Saskia was unable to defend herself during the events of Witcher 3

All these years later, they couldve easily made Geralt's time with the wild hunt a dlc. A follow up after blood and wine. Name it something like white frost rider or something. Idk! But it couldve been everyone chilling out in tousant at the cordova manor and geralt starts getting his memories and telling stories.

I would honestly love to play as Eskel! He is one of my favourite, or well, at the top along side with Vesemir. Would also be fun to play as Lambert, he's to funny.

I feel that the game brought up that Geralt used to ride with the Wild Hunt, and the circumstances around it, quite a lot more than this video implies

A letho game would be 🔥 always has been one of my favorite characters
