The Witcher 3 è un Capolavoro Banale (Vi spiego il perchè)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is universally considered the king of modern RPGs. But if we stripped away the graphics, Geralt's charisma, and the soundtrack, what would be left of its main plot? In this nearly 30-minute video essay, we analyze why Geralt and Ciri's story is, in reality, one of the most banal and derivative of the fantasy genre. From the "information exchange" structure to the figure of the "Chosen One," to the failure of the Wild Hunt as an antagonist. It's time to look beyond the myth and analyze CD Projekt Red's writing for what it truly is: a perfect execution of a mediocre plot.
