The Witcher 2 Digital Artbook description
Though in the scene as a whole these royal guards are mere background figures, they are as detailed as any primary character. Both menat-arms wear chainmail and breastplates, which meant their clothing needed to be animated differently than that of the other fight participants. Due to the effort we put into creating them, we decided these initially nameless defenders of the king deserved mention.
