Cursed Wight
Hey guys,
[SPOILER ALERT]
Sorry if similar topic exists - I tried scrolling around but didn't see anything similar, so thought to simply make a post as I really want to get back to playing the game.
So, to make a potion Regis asks us to obtain a spotted Wight's saliva. As we come across the creature, it becomes clear that it is a victim of a curse. Now, I always try to lift them, so I went with that choice.
But here's what I want to ask:
As I walked around the house and collected / read various documents, the origin of the curse pointed to a beggar (same story was later confirmed) who was turned away. While curses are curses, this one seemed to be quite powerful and I couldn't help but wonder - how a simple beggar could've cast a spell like this? The story that Marlene tells omits one detail that I found in the documents - that the beggar sold mirrors.
I couldn't help but immediately think whether it was all played by our old "friend" - Gaunter O'dimm (aka Master Mirror)? Was that him in is malicious humour preying upon Marlene?
I dismissed the thought, up until the point where Geralt takes her to his estate. As you tell the story to B.B. about the curse... there's a familiar music playing towards the end - the tune that we listened to when we went to the shadow realm to battle Gaunter. Gave me the chills...
Is that music choice a coincidence or is it implying that that theory might be true? It'd be great if someone could confirm whether it's an Easter Egg.
