Notes & Trivia
- When speaking to the villagers after killing the ghouls have Geralt say " I'm nosy, Very". When the boss battle is over the villagers won't stiff you but rather pay Geralt his much-deserved coin. Which then piles on with what Milan Noran originally offered to pay you, making for a sweet payday.
