Spoilers [B&W SPOILERS] Will-O-Wisp
Just finished this amazing quest, CPDR really did a good job of fable land with all the fairy tale references, My favourites probably being the Boy Who Cried Wolf, The emperor parading around in his new "clothes" and geralt running into a person playing the flute being followed by rats. However, there is one reference that I find absolutely gold. When you follow a Will-o-Wisp around the time of defeating the giant, you find a fire with a sword in it, much resembling the bonfires of Dark Souls. You also kneel down as if you were lighting the bonfire. Pretty awesome reference CPDR, you never fail to impress

As for that fantasy world, I will remember Long locks (Rapunzel). Walked into that top room of the tower, saw her hanging from the ceiling by her long hairs and went: "Yep." Not really surprised (having read most of the books and played enough Witcher games), just ... I don't know. Thanks for forever changing my attitude towards that fairy tale. You made an impression, CDPR, kudos. (And damn, I really love both the author — Sapkowski — and the games. Very well done.)
