A Just Witcher

[Contract: Skellige's Most Wanted Spoilers]

I believe this quest was added afterwards in some DLC, but it seems to be a fitting conclusion to the monster contracts of Witcher 3. At least, that's how I thought of it, considering it was the very last contract of my second playthrough.

Nonetheless, it serves as the epitome of Geralt's role in this world as a witcher. Not sure if that's intended by the designers, but it conveys Geralt's view on humans vs. monsters.

Here's a video of the quest

And here's what I wrote about the quest (In the video's description)

Heroes are rarely perfect. In fact, moral heroes require imperfection. Decisions never have right or wrong answers, but a moral hero must stand between them and decide. This leads to consequences: hearts broken, failure of trust, and lives lost, all for the sake of "doing the right thing."

But it doesn't end there. A moral hero, a just witcher, must stand for his actions and never doubt himself. When confronted, this moral hero, Geralt of Rivia, speaks the truth on making difficult decisions. He is the connection between two worlds, humans and monsters, and defends them from each other. He has seen what each side can–and will–do to the other.

The duty of a just witcher is to protect the innocent and kill the violent, including innocent monsters and violent humans.
