The Price of Getting Everything You Want | The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR FOR HEARTS OF STONE Olgierd von Everec is one of the most tragic characters in The Witcher 3. On the surface, he’s violent, cold, selfish, and cruel. But Hearts of Stone is more complicated than that. This isn’t just the story of a bad man making a deal with the devil. It’s the story of a man who got exactly what he asked for… and lost the part of himself that made any of it matter. In this video, we recap what’s, in my opinion, one of the greatest quests of all time in Scenes from a Marriage. We dig deep into Olgierd’s love for Iris, his pact with Gaunter O’Dimm, the death of Vlodimir, the ruins of the von Everec estate, and the painted memories of a broken marriage to get to the bottom of one of the most haunting stories in The Witcher 3. Hearts of Stone is often remembered because of Gaunter O’Dimm, and for good reason. But the more I think about this DLC, the more I think about Olgierd. Was he evil? Was he cursed? Was he already broken before Master Mirror ever found him? And most importantly… does he deserve a second chance?
