The Witcher Season 2: 10 Things We'd Love To See

1. Other Witcher Schools

Though the games give us a range of others, the only Witcher schools present in the book are that of the Wolf, the Cat and the Griffin. Still they serve an important role; they remind us of the true scale and complexity of the Witcher trade.

Having multiple Schools provides an extra element that makes the world larger, a touch of depth that makes us believe that Witchers have been operating (and diverting from each other) for centuries.

It makes the Witchers themselves seem more human, these are professionals who have different philosophies and drives regarding the nature of their work.

The Wolf School embodies the quintessential Witcher’s trade, with a focus on understanding the foe in question and carefully selecting the right tool for the job, balanced between all possibilities. The Cat School on the other hand is overwhelmingly focused on stealth and concealment, with an expertise in remaining mobile and striking when the time is most opportune. Meanwhile the Griffin closely resembles the classic understanding of a knightly order and is generally more accepted in society.

Containing Witchers from other schools gives us the potential to reflect the nature of Geralt, and the other Wolven Witchers we will hopefully get to know in the next season.

My passion for all things Sci Fi goes back to my earliest days, when old VHS copies of Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet gripped my tiny mind with their big, noisy vehicles and terrifying puppets. I'd like to say my taste got more refined over the years, but between the Warhammer, Space Dandy and niche Star Wars EU books, perhaps it just got broader. I've enjoyed games of all calibre since I figured out that dice weren't just for eating, and have written prose ever since I was left unsupervised with some crayons next to a white wall. I got away with it by calling it "schoolwork" for as long as I could, and university helped me keep the charade going a while longer. Since my work began to get published, it's made all those long hours repainting the walls seem worth it.
