[Spoilers]Lets recap all three games and discuss Alvin [Spoilers]
Keep in mind all three games are supposed to be one story as if told in a book. And this is NOT a knock on the games.
The Witcher 1
1) Geralt appears alive after everyone thought he was dead.
2) Geralt runs into almost all of his old friends
3) A boy with elder blood appears named Alvin from chapter 1 - rest of the game, turns out to be the big bad boss of the entire game (The Witcher 1)
4) Bandits raid Kaer Morhen in order to steal the witcher mutagens and potions in order to make new Witchers accept without free will and modified.
5) The Witcher dismantles Salamandra.
6) Geralt only remembers a little bit of his past.
Questions why was Alvin (The Flaming Rose Grand Master) even intended in any of this story? Why was he so important? Though he was linked to Elder Blood there was really not reason to have him at all. What made him stand out so much that The King of the Wild Hunt stopped looking for Ciri in full compacity in order to send him wraith form over to try to collect him as he lie dying at the end of the game as an adult?
The Witcher 2
1) Geralt is in Prison because of the last events that took place between the first and second game.
2) Elder Blood is only mentioned in books throughout the entirety of the game. It plays no important roll.
3) The Wild Hunt no long seeks after Geralt and has vanished.
4) Geralt fights a Dragon and either undoes the spell or kills it or leaves it be to heal later (we never see a conclusion to this in the third game, though one of the endings shows an option for the dragon to be healed, however if you didn't and didn't kill her the option was never carried over into the third game to heal Saskia).
5) You always end up with Triss at the end even if you don't "save her".
The Witcher 3
1) The wild hunt has returned????
2) Ciri now plays a part in the game yet she was never mentioned but one time in the Witcher 2 and no where else (in a flash back, that is if you even make the right choices to get that scene unlocked).
3) Shani is missing
4) Most of the quests do not tell the story of the Witcher, it's more a do as you want game as if the story is done, appart from the 5-10 hour main story arc (yes there are people completing it in that time or less).
So basically my question is this, Why was Alvin so important that they made him the big bad guy of the entire first game, and yet he has no mention afterward in any of the games?
The only Mention that Alvin gets is on the Tree in the Elf guys secret laboratory north of Undvik (if you went there). His name is in the tree next to Ciri's Tree yet not connected accept down at the root of the 6 elf-human hybrid children that came from Ithleen the original Elder Blood that was supposed to mate with another 100% pure elf Elder Blood to create the most powerful in the universe being. But Ithleen betrayed the idea and went with a human instead. Thus Ciri's line and Alvin's line though two different branches. Yet they never mention that "Oh remember Alvin, so that is why they were after him." or anything like that and it's only been a year. How do you forget a child you were teaching in less than a year?
Also how is it that the King of the Hunt has Elder Blood and can teleport anywhere at will (during last fight) to any planet any time and yet he still needs Ciri and her blood? What was he going to do take her virginity and get ultimate power? Was this a rape hunt? What was this? It's never explained. Also to note The Elf guy helping Ciri said that The King of the Wild Hunt could not teleport like Ciri because he didn't have elder blood, who can do it at will, yet we see in the final battle that he teleports Geralt and himself to several locations at will, even back to his how world. So kinda contradictory.
So basically how does Alvin stack into this as a prime essential? And what does Elder Blood have to do with anything? (yes yes I know that he doesn't have the power to transport entire armys to earth to take it over because the white frost is attacking his planet at the next conjunction but still he wasn't even supposed to be able to teleport himself anywhere he wanted because he didn't know how (remember the quest were you go through teleporters to find the general guy of the elves? During that dialogue between planets and time The elf guy says that the King of the Wild Hunt can't teleport at will because he doesn't have Elder Blood and that is why he needs Ciri's blood is because he needs it to teleport at will anywhere and to teleport more importantly the entire army in one teleportation to the planet Geralt is from. Yet the contradictions come forward in the last battle where he clearly can teleport at will). As I always say if you're going to do it do it right the first time or not at all in every point.
Any thoughts?
