Take the botchling, a sinister new creature CD Projekt RED has revealed to OXM. Botchlings are creatures that come as a result of miscarriage,” says Platkow-gilewski. “When a pregnant woman miscarries her baby and abandons their body without giving the child a name, there’s a chance that the child will come back to life in the form of a botchling''.
A botchling forms the important part of a quest concerning the wife of a powerful warlord who lost a child. The
child, in monstrous form, is attacking and drinking the blood of locals – Geralt is hired to help. The choice
here is to either convince the warlord to accept his baby and take it to the place where a special dispelling ritual
is going to be conducted, or Geralt can kill it and set off with the bounty. As you might expect, both have their
consequences and fit into the broader story. The choice is always left to you.
