“You Made a Choice, You’ll Never Know If It’s the Right One,”
Believe it or not, this happens to Geralt all the time. The first episode of the show solidifies this fact, as Geralt made the decision he believed was right and was damned for it anyway.
This fact is an incredibly important one to know going into The Witcher series, since you will have countless decisions to make and only very, very few of them are cut and dry. Decisions will almost always have a big impact, and almost always have a bad ending for someone involved.
Such is the world of The Witcher, and you have to adopt a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” mentality, like Geralt. Sometimes you have to choose between the lives of everyone in a misguided village or a handful of unfortunate, abandoned children.
You can’t always win. Geralt knows this, and you should too.
