CD Projekt Red's Game Design Decisions Analyzed by Developers.
TL;DR
CD Projekt Red's quest director Pawel Sasko revealed during a GDC 2023 panel that the decision to kill off Vesemir, Geralt's mentor and a prominent character from the books, in The Witcher 3 was controversial within the design team. However, Sasko believed that Vesemir's death was necessary to break Ciri and make her decide to go after the Wild Hunt. Sasko also discussed the need for artistic bravery in video game storytelling and the discussions around the Bloody Baron storyline in The Witcher 3.
