A Closer Look at The Witcher 3's Most Outrageous Quest


As Hearts of Stone is probably my favorite content of TW3, this video caught my attention. It's an analysis of the "Dead Man's Party" quest. There's also a write-up of it: A Closer Look at The Witcher 3's Most Outrageous Quest

But perhaps more importantly, Dead Man’s Party is about people. It’s not just a miniature theme park. The quest narrows the game’s ambitious scope to focus deeply on commoners. The main quest is full of kings, assassins, sorceresses, witchers, and evil crones. Dead Man’s Party is a small slice of life of rural Temeria. We get to participate in dance and song, watching as ordinary people enjoy what they consider an extraordinary day. It puts things in perspective. You’re in the middle of a magical quest; these people are in the middle of a magical moment of their lives. It’s wonderfully human.
 
Pretty good analysis. The quest is easily one of the most memorable in the whole game for me. CDPR are masters at slice of life gameplay.
