      Well, at least in the Witcher if you are lucky to be born wealthy enough or lucky with your friendships you can get a good mage or herbalist to compensate for it.

    If we go by game standards it would be very harsh. Book universe tho is a bit more reserved with how many monsters roam around (also no supernatural white frost in the book universe) so all in all it would be pretty average medieval life I say with a fantasy twist.

    thanks but i think it's obvious enough. especially if you were born at that exact wolrd and time, it's not about what you want at all. you simply just live and become incredibly resilient which isn't strange at all since everyone is forced to do the same thing. to survive is in our DNA, if humans in the witcher world are the same as humans in the real world. i prefer your world history video series by the way, i hope there will be more in the future.

    First thing that came to my mind when I discovered the books and games, was the similitude of TW world with the events ocurred during the "Northern Crusades" when the Teutonic Order invaded the todays Lithuanian territories and the religious/cultural clash that ocurred in that region, allong with the strugle against other christians, the Kingdom of Poland😒. So AS and CDPR, spiced all of that with more magic, disease and monsters over war adding other social conflicts, that is why Geralt ended the way he did in the books, to show us that nobody could be save, or survive in that world if had a bad day...well, if I have to pick a character to be in there, maybe I would choose Odrin, seems he survives all the crap around always having a good time🤷‍♂️😁👍

  • @efaristi9737
    @efaristi9737 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I don't think death by monsters are still as commun as before Geralt time. Geralt is even a bit upset about how ordinary peoples deal efficiently with their monsters nowadays and don't even want to kill them anymore XD There is even monsters learning to live among humans without problems. Not that you're wrong but maybe a little exagerating.
    5:26 I wouldn't say it's a all-time high. Before the Second War, the Non-humans were more or less well integrated into humans society and mages did put many efforts into minimising racisms and pogroms.
    5:53 I'm pretty sure it wasn't that extreme before the war. Or even after. I mean, in the books, most non-humans who were killed were not just randomly killed in the street, it was still considered a crime to do so... even if a relatif one. I mean, really, if what you said was true then the elves, the Vrans, the Bobbolaks and halflings would be long extinct logically.
    8:17 Didn't Yennefer said that mages were working to make the use of teleportation a ordinary commodity ? That might have been words in the winds though but that would prove mages are not so indifferents.
    9:53 I thought it was a giant centipede monster ?
    I don't think the Church of the Eternal Fire is the most proeminent religion of the Continent. (I think that's the religion of the Great Sun). They seems to be mostly located in Novigrad.
    16:00 How could magic not help against plagues and diseases ?
    17:40 Let's not exagerate, Nothing said the Sorcerers were or would remain powerless and it was a pandemic episode, not something that happen every years.
