Final Musings (and huge, fat spoilers)

Who was the assassin in the final cut scene? So random witcher? A plot for the Witcher II?

I think Geralt may not be the Witcher in a second one, they could have you be one of the other guys that split up at the beginning (?). Anyway, who was that Ninja? Are we supposed to recognize him?

He looks like a witcher or at least a mutant (yellow eyes) but not like any of the witchers we have met before: the assassin wielded daggers while all Geralt's buddies were swordsmen. It is also puzzling why a professional monster-killer would act like a hit-man.

This is either a promise of a new adventure (an expansion) or nothing. Maybe the devs added this mysterious cutscene to stir up some excitement and send eager fans on a wild goose chase. And now they just sit back, drink Local Pepper Vodka (Pertzovka? ), read our posts and laugh their mutated tails off.

I'm very disappointed by the ending of The Witcher. I was looking forward to an Oblivion-style ending of freedom to wander around and fight randomly and gather more money and items. I also hadn't bothered to pick up the best armour in the game (from the quest in Ch.5) or the best sword in the game (from delivering all 10 trophies)... so imagine how annoyed I was that after the epilogue the game just ends like a movie and dumps you back right to the beginning! It makes all the work you've put into your character meaningless. If I ever play this game again I will just ignore the last main quest and just play for fun, because the ending makes everything pointless.

I agree. I really wanted to go back and kill some more drowners.

lol, I suppose the unlimited regeneration of the swamp... wildlife (I hesitate to call it fauna) along with other local recreational activities (what was that dryad's name?) can be irresistable for the true sportsmen. Too bad witchers don't use guns (shotguns could be fun against those exploding bloedzuigers ).

We can probably keep wading through the swamp clockwise hunting our undead game until we reach level XXX or die horribly... from boredom, whatever comes first.

Anybody tried?
