Talk:Whatsoever a Man Soweth.../@comment-44732689-20191227075654

This expansion is really a Tale of Two Evils. At first, I didn't like the story all too much but it comes together nicely.

You first get to be introduced to a human man who's evil. He sets a house on fire that he stole. He tries to murder a man for no good reasons. He kills another man by cursing him into a Toad and then has a witcher deliver the killing blow. He loves multiple women, but not for long, murders those close to them. And much more, as he keeps company with a band of cutthroats.

The second evil is not a man at all. One who uses cunning and trickery to get what they want, but feigns pity as they beg the witcher to help them with the first evil. But over time you realize and find out that this person is much more than they really say they are, to the point where they have lived longer and control powers greater than nearly anyone you've ever heard of in this world itself.

The funny thing is that the evil human man who's fate should have been sealed seemingly has already bested the Master of Mirrors before you arrive, hence Master Mirror to request your help.

I find it funny people try to justify Olgierd's actions as just a product of Master Mirror's manipulation. The man deserves to die even if you attributed half of his actions due to direct manipulation. The game pretty much makes it clear that Master Mirror has to be "killed". Yet at the same time, I wish the writers allowed for a good-good ending, contrary to how most quests end in Witcher where the bad and good balance each other out. Allow Olgierd to choose a new life or join his wife in a ghostly one where they can live out what could have been for one lifetime.

Or simply allow you to end Olgierd's life as he basically caused the deaths of at least a hundred if not more, many innocents along the way.

As for Master Mirror, I hope we see more demi-gods that have their own side quests in the next game.
