9 Optional Video Game Scenes You Likely Missed

BLOODY BARON (THE WITCHER 3)

Like Mass Effect 2, The Witcher 3 is yet another timeless classic that hinges primarily on the strengths of its incredible optional content- and the prime flag-bearer of that is, of course, the Bloody Baron questline. You do meet him as part of the main story, yes, but the meat and potatoes of his tragic character arc is reserved for side quests. Its culmination is a heart-breaking one in more ways than one, and learning the fate of his family is intensely depressing- but it’s incredibly written and incredibly performed, and every moment feels well-earned.
