And a Curse, and Love, and Betrayal) is one of the greatest fan adventures created for any installment of the Witcher series – it is enough for about 10-12 hours of fun. The whole thing is highly non-linear, and offers a lot of new music.

Geralt comes to a small village, where he undertakes two contracts – a young girl wants us to free her fiancée from a curse, and the head of the village hires us to clear the local gold mine of monsters.

The action takes place in the Outskirts. We come across a caravan from Vengerberg, full of suspicious merchants and coarse dwarves, as well as a Doppler, which the locals despise – but does that mean that it's guilty of murder?
