And why exactly should the petty sort of monster go overlooked? In fact I think it's good to have a reminder that in between the fights of mad kings and totalitarian emperors, between ultra powerful inter-dimensional magical elf warlords and a sentient universe destroying apocalypse of ice, between demons and monsters and armies there are regular people under threat from common thugs and those common thugs are no less despicable or despotic as anything hogging the limelight.

Actually I think your dismissal is something of an ironic echo of a conversation Geralt had at the very beginning of the game with the first person he can play Gwent with. If you choose to say it would be good to write about the realities of war, the rape and pillage and suffering - which you as the player get to see the gritty aftermath - instead of focusing on the larger than life figures such as rulers and generals talking about the sprawling concept of war that hides the dirt.
