Witcher 2’s Secrets of Loc Muinne Riddle Room (from the Witcher 2: EE Artbook)
“A group of travelers wandering through the dark, the guides above them so three were marked, at night they trailed at Drake Serpentine,
And a silver lady, shining and fine, if only her Visage she would deign to unfold,
By day they followed a mountainside vault - its riches untold.”
CD Projekt RED’s attention to detail and design is one of the reasons why I appreciate the Witcher 2 so much. Such wonderful art for a short segment of a quest you’re able to get if you choose a specific path in the game.

There’s a beast in every man. And it stirs when you put a sword in its hand.

If years of service have taught me anything, it’s that the highborn don the best costumes and get the best vantage points, whether at a ball or in battle.
