10 Most Beloved Video Game NPCs Of The Decade
4. Phillip Strenger (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)
In The Witcher 3, Geralt of Rivia meets hundreds of truly fascinating people, from old flames to old ladies looking for frying pans. One NPC that sticks in the mind the longest is also one of the first we meet on our journey to find Ciri.
Phillip Strenger, better known to the people of Velen as "The Bloody Baron" is an abrasive and highly unpleasant individual who players would ideally either avoid or murder.
However, he holds valuable information, and is therefore too valuable to just avoid. To get a hold of the information we need, he leads us to some of the best and most haunting quests The Witcher 3 has to offer.
His questline has some harrowing scenes and consequences, with the Baron being truly unnerved with the whole endeavour. Your short time with Strenger is so impactful, that even after hundreds of more hours playing, his words and actions stick with you.
