Brilliant as that might be, however, certain things inThe Witcher’seconomy simply don’t add up.
At least, they don’t when we apply real-world economic logic to them.
Here are some of those illogical economic things that somehow got through Geralt’s astute Witcher senses.
Such woe is even voiced out by many characters Geralt meets in his journeys.
They’re certainly better at physical labor than any normal human being.
Besides, the penalty for abandoning your Witcher school doesn’t seem that harsh anyway.
There are many ways Geralt could make better coin than as a Witcher.
One example is when someone asked Geralt to do some deep-sea diving for grab precious black pearls.
Think of the profit Geralt could easily make doing those cakewalk jobs.
It’s certainly a far cry from the “hungry witcher” portrayal of the books.
That means no conventional human army can stop them.
Letho proved inThe Witcher 2: Assassins of Kingsthat he can ruin the whole world if he wanted.
The rogue Witcher single-handedly sowed chaos by collecting kings' heads.
6WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH WITCHERS AGAINST MONSTERS?
Fancy and badass as Geralt’s job may be, it’s objectively unnecessary in his world.
Their success against magic basically depends on one thing: The fictional Dimeritium metal that somehow disables magic.
If they could stop being massive douchebags, they’d probably give Witchers a run for their coin.
Since we’re talking about peasants, they’re also at a complete disadvantage when it comes to Gwent.
Apparently, the developers thought it makes sense to divide the blacksmiths into swordmakers and armorers.
In reality, being able to do both would have been more profitable for them.
Heck, one of them might even shout “top-notch swords!”
but will only sell armor.
Then came the actual reward: A mere few thousand crowns (coins).
As Geralt, most players can easily earn that much in an hour of treasure-hunting and monster-slaying.
One would think that Emhyr would have been more generous since he’s Emperor of half theWitcherworld.
In itself, that can create inconsistencies and problems with the game’s lore.
Some of them can even summon workers to do their bidding.
Why they haven’t taken over everything is rather puzzling.
That means their organization is dying a slow death.
However, the School of the Cat had an Elven Witcher member, meaning Elves are allowed.
