The Witcher's lore is intriguing, vast and diverse, but also deep, dark, and scary.
Its heavy influence from traditional Slavic, European and Scandinavian folklore makes it a wonderfully refreshing setting among a sea of typical Tolkien-esque fantasy stories.
So let’s delve into it!
We’ll start with the Botchling (Poroniec) and the numerous real-world legends from all across the globe that it was based on.
Because it's far more than just... ugly!
You can get the game DRM-free on GOG.com:
