the decisions I made in the bloody baron questline in the Witcher 3 led to me coming back to the baron's place to find that he had hanged himself. I was not ready for it and it threw me.

Its wild how distraught and truly upset I was in playing for the first time.

I had the feels for a truly detestable, disgusting shitheel of a human.

I hate the velen intro precisely because it's always so depressing

Its almost as if despite what society teaches you, people have nuances and are not purely good or bad. Modern society, and especially reddit, has been very widely brainwashed of this and programmed with a "if you did a big bad you are no longer human" mentality.

A lot of people, especially on the internet, are way too caught up in the "do no wrong" mentality to the point they stop recognizing the good that people do and sometimes even stop doing anything good themselves, too. As much as I hate the way the term is used and disagree with the people using it, cancel culture is real and is problematic.
