The Bloody Baron quest is where The Witcher 3 won my heart
A familiar missing family job turned into a story with no clear hero

The Bloody Baron quest is where The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015), from CD Projekt Red, completely won my heart.
I went in expecting the usual role-playing setup. A man's family has disappeared, so you find them, kill the monster, and collect 40 experience points and some trousers I'd sell immediately.
Then I found myself in a courtyard with a terrifying little botchling while the Baron told me what really happened to his family. I was forced to go to Crookback Bog to meet three creepy old women, and suddenly I realized there's no clear hero in this story.
That's when I understood the choices in this game aren't simply press X to be good or press Y to be a big villain.
