Quick notes
- Geralt’s missing memories frame the cast. The first game begins with a returned witcher whose memories are incomplete.
- Personal ties intersect with the investigation. Triss, Shani, Dandelion and Zoltan provide different kinds of help.
- The factions have recognizable contacts. Siegfried and Yaevinn give the Order and Scoia’tael conflicts personal faces.
- Keep this directory within the first game. Later Witcher games expand the cast and alter relationships.
