Aside from the main story, there are also two great expansions: Hearts of Stone, and Blood and Wine, both of which offer their own amazing narratives with hours and hours of content. And as Geralt either helps or hurts these people himself, he inevitably impacts their lives in even more ways. These characters usually want something in exchange for giving Geralt the information he wants, leading you down some unexpected and eye-opening paths as you learn more about who they are, how they met Ciri, and how she helped them grow as people, letting you form a bond with her through these thought-provoking tales. You spend the game following various leads on Ciri's whereabouts, meeting up with old friends, former lovers, powerful politicians, and all sorts of people from many walks of life. The one hole in this theory is why Turnip is referred to as ‘he’ when Karin is female, but then again Baba Yaga is a female figure in mythology who possesses Potato (male) and MC (they/they? implied to be male? Not quite sure if our gender is ever confirmed).Thoughtful and expansive story with well-written characters The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt tells a deep and intricate story about the main character, Geralt, on his long journey to find his adoptive daughter, Ciri, who's on the run from the evil, supernatural warlords of the Wild Hunt. It isn’t really confirmed, but I think that Turnip is most likely Karin because she’s the one most most emotionally connected to MC and the one we see directly killed by us on-screen. We know that Potato was killed by MC and the rest of the Chompettes were killed by either us or Potato, but we don’t exactly know how Mariah or Anatoly really died, just that they ‘left the cabin’. Thus, it seems like the ghouls that lurk around the cabin and the Chompettes are two different entities. Instead, Mariah, Anatoly and Gregor all haunt the cabin as ghouls and Razzberry makes a comment about not wanting to have more of ‘them’ hanging around the place. If all victims who died in or near the cabin became Chompettes, we would see more of them appear as the nights progress. We also know that whoever has the spirit also most likely controls who among the victims are transformed into a Chompette OR, that in order to become a Chompette, you have to be killed by the owner of the cabin themself. We don’t learn much about the main character’s thoughts or psyche, but maybe they’re just resigned to their fate with their mind twisted and corrupted by the Baba Yaga spirit (and psychosis brought on by Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, yikes!). Although they’re not killed and eaten like the others, they face an arguable worse fate by being forced to carry on the legacy of Baba Yaga: luring unsuspecting travelers to the cabin, losing their humanity bit by bit as they consume more human flesh, and forced to continue this cycle for years and years until someone else comes along to kill them and pass the curse onto them. It’s also possible that the Chompettes see the Main Character as yet another victim of the cabin. Cornbread is also the only one MC decides to let go, for whatever reason), so maybe they’re just trying to be nice to convince MC to eventually let them pass on. If they were all victims of the cabin/the owner of the cabin, then why would they be interested in helping or entertaining the MC? Apparently MC has control over if and when the Chompettes can move on (Cabbage tries to make a deal with MC before the battle with Karin, if they help then they get set free. This also brings up the question of the Chompettes. Karin later gets a hold of it, but MC eventually takes it back after they kill her and she fails to inherit the killer spirit. It originally belonged to Potato and was taken by the main character after Potato was killed. It also seems like the knife that Karin wields symbolically represents the ‘Spirit of Baba Yaga’. I agree the Potato is most likely the Butcher of Zakopane, and the previous owner of the cabin.
