    While I certainly can respect the School of the Viper and Wolf, the best course for me would be to go to the School of the Griffin. I value intelligence and having more than one adequate source of knowledge and power and having that type of balance would be beneficial to someone like me. I may not be as skilled as the wolf or bear schools but that doesn’t make me any less of a badass when it comes to magic. I’d prefer to be a jack of all trades is all I’m saying.

      The bears combined strength, skill, and sign knowledge, pushing the quen shield far beyond the power of even the griffins, so I'm picking them. Also they emphasized autonomy and freedom rather than a strict code, which, we know from the Gwent spinoff, required the Griffins to hunt dragons as "their knightly duty", despite dragons being sentient and mostly just wanting to be left in peace, meaning the Griffins were a bit hypocritical

      @@BiggChinese These are just my thoughts but I don't think they're as similar as people make 'em out to be. They both value discretion and stealth in the work maybe, but that's about where I'd say they split. The two schools have verily different moral's/principles. Cat's are more ruthless and out for blood while Vipers are a bit more orderly and conducted. Another way to look at it is that Cat's enjoy killing while Vipers are just very numb to it. In terms of combat, Cat's rely a fair bit more on stealth (they don't want to be seen at all), while Vipers rely more on planning and execution (risking being seen if it gets the job done more efficiently) which usually offers more opportunity for stealth some some schools, but they are also more willing (than the Cat's) to straight up fight too, when needed. At least it seems that way to me. I also think that Cat's have been more loose with what jobs they're willing to take for a long time, whereas Vipers (usually) try to stick to monster hunting more like the Wolves and Bears do aside from around the time of Geralt's story line. It's only really then that the Viper school started become assassins in an attempt to keep their school going. None of this is stated but just by what I've seen in their each school's lore, it's the conclusions I've come to.

      @@devon596 yeah the Bears' whole deal was autonomy and self reliance. Back when there was just one Witcher school, the early Griffins tried to enforce their knightly virtues on all Witchers, and the Bears railed against such "outdated traditions". Tensions rose till a series of fights broke out and the Bears left to form their own school based on the idea that Witchers shouldn't be asked to do more than kill monsters for coin, and not be forced to follow a specific philosophy. In the case of Ivo, that belief extended to their own fighting tactics. Ivo is said to be a perfect Bear Witcher despite not fighting like them, since it was his solitary attitude that made him a perfect example of the Bears.

      That reference was only for one Witcher mainly. The reference was made to Gaetan a side quest character in the Witcher 3. Gaetan is a cat Witcher who took a contract to kill a leshen, he completed it but the alderman only offered him 12 gold a very small sum of money for what he did. He objected and they said they had hidden more gold in a barn. When Gaetan got there though it was an ambush and they were going to try and kill him the alderman and most of the peasants. So Gaetan lost is and in a bid to survive started killing rapidly. Before he knew it he had slaughtered a good portion of the village. Anyways, it wasn’t because of the low pay, he slaughtered the village defending himself. Just like Geralt did in Blaviken.

      @@narcisis4147 i wouldn't compare that situatian with the one geralt faced in blaviken. Geralt fought and killed bandits in an attempt to impede a carnage to take place, ironically and so bitterly, that was exactly what caused the carnage, since it apparently would not have taken place like he feared it would without his interference. Gaetan, at first, acted in means of self defense, and killed the 3 men that were actively trying to kill him, then however stepped out of the barn and began a killing spree. A lot tried to flee, but he still mowed them down, perhaps also because he feared that they would rat him out, since there is a bounty on all cat school witchers and the villagers most likely tried to hand him in from the moment, they realized he is from the cat school, since the edlerman of the village was particulary well off, wich is something you can find out rummaging the village, in this quest. I also let him live, and probably always will be, but the situations geralt and gaetan found themselves in are still vastly different from each other.

    Considering the book that makes witchers out to be monsters is written by a mage, i think it's entirely probable that the griffin school could have been another reason to provoke the killing of witchers. Mages created witchers, and now a witcher is invited into kingly courts. Considering how vain and arrogant mages can be, i wouldn't be surprised at all if some mages got pushed out of the limelight, and began to retaliate against witchers. There certainly isn't a shortage of mages that look down on them.
