10. Wild At Heart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkY_jf_SCLs Location: Velen, Blackbough. Pro-tip for your Witcher'ing exploits; always grab every notice from the boards in every respective town or city. Even if the text seems meaningless or completely random/humorous, you'll still get additional question marks/points of interest marked on the map to visit somewhere later on. Anyway, one of the earliest optional quests you can come across just as you get out of White Orchard is this very sombre tale of a man's wife who appears to have gone missing in the woods. Commencing this brings about some Sherlock Holmes-style detective work as you track down what looks to be a bitter end at the hands of some random monsters. However, if you're not completely satisfied by Geralt's ponderous noises and comments on what could've happened (things do seem a bit cut n' dry) you can carry on digging into what really happened. This then leads you into a brilliantly dark tale of dual identities, a life lived in mystery and two very emotional choices you'll have to make to wrap it all up.
