      Hey, WitcherGeorge, I wanted to say this was an amazing showcase of a character's story. Can't wait for you to do Regis for example. Also, I've one more question. How do you make third person recordings in a game, while game still running? Is that a feature of Ansel I don't know about, or is this a mod of some sort? Thanks!

    Eskel is Geralt's brother from another mother. He's not nearly as well-known as Geralt, but he is said to be Geralt's equal, in other words an extremely proficient witcher and swordsman.
    Edit: By the way, they did say something about Eskel and Lambert's whereabout after TW3, in the 10-year anniversary video by CDPR. In that, Geralt states that Lambert practically lives with him in Corvo Bianco (Geralt's vineyard in Toussaint) and that Eskel and Lambert both mainly take contracts nearby Corvo Bianco. So, essentially the School of the wolf relocated to Toussaint and are as of now based in Corvo Bianco

      It's possible, in a sense, to kill a higher vampire by destroying their body. Regis was killed by Vilgefortz in the books, and Geralt can kill Detlaff in Blood & Wine. The catch is that their consciousness survives somehow and they can be brought back to life by other higher vampires. The only way for them to permanently die is if another higher vampire kills them.

He seemed to have a nice spirit, and in contrast to bitter Lambert he was a more approachable friend for Geralt.

      No, that would be boring. He must first time his own journey, maybe with elves. With Iorweth, Yeavin and Insegrim Fiolitiarna and Dol Blathana.
      He can have Triss Merigold as his love interest. It's two times in book that they have something for each other ( one non canon).

    A underused character that ends up being a fan favourite. I think eskells story along with vesimer could a direction books, games and spin off shows. In particular vesimer his history could well be the route for a game (witcher 4). That in part allows stories especially eskillles to allow the witcher franchise to move forward. Your video shows the character needs more airtime.

    I keep getting questions from other gamers on when TW3 picks up. I tell them again and again to just make it to Novigrad. They rarely do.
