The Witcher 3 has a secret romance story that has remained hidden for eight years
24.11.2023 - 15:07 / techradar.com
CD Projekt Red has revealed that The Witcher3: Wild Hunt featured a secret love story no one knew about.
During the first episode of the studio's AnsweRED podcast (via IGN), story director Tomasz Marchewka explained that in the game's Blood & Wine DLC, Damien de la Tour, captain of Toussaint's ducal guard, is secretly in love with the person he's charged to protect — Duchess Anna Henrietta.
«I don't think it's said anywhere in the game, but we assume that he is secretly in love with her,» Marchewka said. «And because he's not an aristocrat, it's impossible for him to even imagine that that could have happened.
»I think there's one moment when she states she's gonna be in grave danger and so on, and he just looks at her. And if you know what to look for, in that look, you see the depth of the relationship. It's super subtle, I don't know how transparent it is, but we always remembered about him being basically willing to give his life for her if needed."
If you've played the Blood & Wine DLC, you may know that one possible outcome during the end of the campaign will find Anna's sister, Mary, killing her off, and Damien will be heartbroken.
However, the game implies that he's simply upset for having failed his Duchess and friend, but with the new information from CDPR, it's understandable why he is so grieved, especially if you read his journal after the fact.
«When Anna Henrietta was treacherously murdered by her own sister, Damien blamed himself most of all and wanted to fall on his sword, as he felt befits a man of honour,» his journal entry reads. «The only thing stopping him was the thought that Her Grace would never have forgiven him for that.
»Damien spent many years deep in mourning, often thinking about how the tragic events had come to pass and who was responsible. This meant not only the Duchess had died, but all chances for a friendship between him and Geralt of Rivia as well."
Thankfully, there's an ending that doesn't involve Anna dying, so this unrequited love story doesn't end tragically if you make the right choice, but it's technically not a happy ending for Damien either, as he continues to pine after the Duchess secretly.
Elsewhere, CD Projekt Red recently announced that an official mod editor is currently in the works for the PC version of The Witcher 3.

A Chatbot from the 1960s has thoroughly beaten OpenAI's GPT-3.5 in a Turing test, because people thought it was just 'too bad' to be an actual AI
A small research group recently examined the performance of 25 AI 'people', using two large language models created by OpenAI, in an online Turing test. None of the AI bots ultimately passed the test, but all the GPT 3.5 ones were so bad that a chatbot from the mid-1960s was nearly twice as successful as passing off as a human. Mostly because real people didn't believe it was really AI.

The Last of Us Actor Says He Hasn’t Received a Script for Part 3 Yet
In June last year, it was confirmed that Naughty Dog president Neil Druckmann’s next directorial single player project had entered development, and there’s been plenty of speculation since then about whether that game is going to be a third Last of Us entry. A story outline for a sequel has apparently been ready for a while, and leaks have also claimed that The Last of Us Part 3 is indeed in development– though an actor who has played a major role in both previous titles doesn’t seem to have started working on the game.

The Fallout TV series trailer certainly looks like Fallout, except for that one cyclops
Perhaps the Last Of Us TV show on HBO getting it right was the dawn of a new era of good TV based on video games, but I still approach each adaptation with trepidation. That includes Amazon's Fallout series from Westworld and Person Of Interest writer/director Jonathan Nolan, which just got its first trailer.
