The Witcher: The Lesser Evil

 

The Last Wish has multiple chapters entitled the lesser evil, which I believe is the most important message to take from the novel. It is also clearly stated by Geralt and a character named Renfri:
"Geralt," she said, "did Stregobor ask you to kill me?"
"Yes. He believed it was the lesser evil."
"Can I believe you refused him, as you have me?"
"You can."
"Why?
"Because I don't believe in a lesser evil."
"You don't believe in it, you say. Well your right, in a way. Only Evil and Greater Evil exist and beyond them, in the shadows, lurks True Evil. True Evil, Geralt, is something you can barely imagine, even if you believe nothing can still surprise you. And sometimes True Evil seizes you by the throat and demands that you choose between it and another, slightly lesser, Evil."
"What's your goal here, Renfri?"
"Nothing. I've had a bit to drink and I'm philosophizing. I'm looking for general truths. And I've found one: lesser evils exist, but we can't choose them. Only True Evil can force us to such a choice. Whether we like it or not."

The Witcher

The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia: Geralt is known also as Gwynbleidd (Elder Speech meaning "The White Wolf", a name which was given to him by the dryads), as well as the Butcher of Blaviken.

  

The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski and translated by Danusia Stok is a story about a monster slayer who travels to different realms(kingdoms) in search of work.
If I suggested this to a friend, I would summarize the plot as follows:

• Geralt of Rivia is the protagonist. He is a mutant who underwent rigorous training as a child and eventually graduated form the Wolf School of the Witchers at the fortress of Kaer Morhen, in the realm of Kaedwen.
• A witcher is a mutant that slays monsters such as strigas, nekkers, drowners, nercophages, bullvores, trolls, arachas, endregas, wraiths, bruxas, and specters. Witchers do not slay dragons, but will if they must.
• There are four known schools of witchers: The Cat School, The Wolf School, The Viper School, and the Griffin(or Gryphon) School.
• The world is made up of many realms such as Temeria, Redania, Aedirn, Kaedwen, and the empire of Nilfgaard.
• The chapters in the novel consist of themes that Geralt will learn and grow to understand their meaning. The Lesser Evil and the Voice of Reason are the prominent themes.
• It is a very mature read, but the read is well worth it.

The book thus far is amazing, it shows Geralt Roger Eric de Haute Bellegarde, I mean Geralt of Rivia, in all of his glory. Transitioning from the game to the book was not complicated at all, the game portrays Geralt much like he was in the book, and that is what is great about the series.

Assassin's Creed: Why would I even?

Something I quickly want to mention, it would not be good if I was a relative of Ezio Auditore. Nathan Auditore da Firenze doesn't have a ring to it, also Ezio would most likely beat the living hell out of me. I also can't stand those who abuse their authority, and during this time that was commonplace. Also the music would suck, Metal didn't exist, that means no Disturbed, no MetallicA, no Judas Priest, no Pantera, no nothing. The clothes would be too fancy for my tastes and there would be nothing to do, no activities that don't have me working. Lastly, Giovanni Auditore(father), Federico(brother), and Petruccio(brother) were all executed for treason against the city, and chances are I would be with them. I think I'll stick with my heavy metal and no noose around my neck thank you very much.

I think this is what I would look like, because reasons.
