The main reason The Witcher 3 can attract many fans is that the game world is rich in details, allowing players to have an epic fantasy experience and observe this prosperous and vast world from Geralt’s perspective. Coupled with wizard books and wizard live-action dramas, players are happy to think about what it would be like to live in the wizarding world?
Recently, on the Witcher section of the foreign Reddit forum, there was a popular post asking fans which Witcher Academy in The Witcher 3 is their favorite. The post is accompanied by a picture with six different Witch Hunter Academy logos, including the Cat School, Griffin School, Bear School, Wolf School, Snake School and Flying Lion School.
Cat faction values flexibility and offensive power, and almost ignores defense. The Griffin School is a genre centered on Fayin and specializes in swordsmanship. The bear faction is a heavily armored fighter with the strongest defense. The wolf faction is a combination of magic and martial arts, and it also involves bows and crossbows, bombs, and alchemy.
Snake faction is good at using toxins and short weapons. The Flying Lion faction is very small and seems to be biased towards alchemy. Every witcher carries his own academy’s tokens. For example, Geralt has necklaces and pendants.
As for the choices of users, Bear School is the most popular, followed by Griffin School and Wolf School. Considering that the wolf faction is the only academy that is fully displayed in the wizard game, the bear faction is the most popular, which is a bit surprising. Of course, this is a community of wizard fans after all. They have come into contact with many sources, from novels to games, and they must have chosen the bear faction after comparison.
Perhaps CDPR can be inspired by it, and when developing new works in the Witcher series, it can tell more about other schools besides the wolf faction. When creating a single-player or multi-player character customization system, wouldn’t it be very interesting to be associated with six-witcher academies?
