What motivates a Witcher? Townspeople hate them yet Witchers spend every waking moment fighting beasts and trying to keep them safe? Why bother with such a thankless task

They don't really have a choice, people don't like them and they have innate skill at killing monsters.
Benjamin Davis
It's their job, they still gotta eat and they a purpose.

Money.

Free pussy.
>fighting beasts and trying to keep them safe
Money, what are you talking about with this "keep them safe" shit, not everyone is Geralt, and even he will often times sit one out and go on his way if it's not worth it in that particular instance.
>Why bother with such a thankless task
Money.
But mostly, if you know the lore at all, you understand that they literally have no choice.
You generally don't choose to become a witcher, you're "stolen" at a very young age, and it just becomes your entire life, like it or not.
Assuming you even survive the whole initial process and training, anyway.
Bentley Robinson
If you've been told since you were 5 years old "You're gonna roam around and kill monsters forever" and you we're drilled and trained for that sole purpose all your life, you'd just go around killing monsters too.
Daniel Murphy
If you think about it, cat school witchers are actually really just the black people of witchers.
Asher Nelson
Even Letho and his buddies strayed from the path with the objective of getting back into witchin'.
Grayson Thomas
What this guy says although they aren't really needed that much in universe.
Jace Long
Aren't witchers naturally restless and itinerant so they are always moving from place to place taking the monster hunting jobs because that's all they are good at? I seem to remember this conversation with Shani in Witcher 1 but I could be speeding too hard.
Carter Reyes
They don't have a choice usually.
Landon Powell
The entire point is that at the point of the plot we're at, there's less and less of them and the few that remains want to do other shit.
Because being a Witcher is bullshit, the path is bullshit, and any remaining Witcher just wants to go in some remote location and take it easy.
It's the end of an era.
I'm sure they'll ruin it in the next game with
>BUT ACTUALLY I ARTIFICIALLY MADE 500000 MILLION NEW WITCHERS WITH THIS NEW METHOD/MACHINE/MAGIC BULLSHIT
>ACTUALLY NOW YOU GOTTA FIGHT AN ENTIRE ARMY OF WITCHERS ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE
etc.
I'm so tired of this fucking industry.
Eli Rodriguez
They don't do it to keep people safe. In theory Witchers shouldn't lift a finger to save anyone unless they get paid.
Geralt is just a moralfag.
Nolan Long
I imagine if they make a new one, they'll probably just put it in the past. Much easier to justify more witchers than having a new batch be made, especially when the method for it is explicitly lost.
Jace Rodriguez
okay this is epic
Henry Sanchez
Is Witcher big in Japan?
They were pushing it pretty hard at TGS the other day
Chase Flores
>ACTUALLY NOW YOU GOTTA FIGHT AN ENTIRE ARMY OF WITCHERS ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE
Isn't that the villain's plan in Witcher 1
Jayden Ward
The Cyberpunk one is fucking epic too
Isaac Perez
Nature just imbues you with a 'will' that leads to a fate OP, and you die fulfilling it or not. Whatever the case, what happens to you after death will surely depend on that.
Christian Stewart
paycheck to survive doing literally the only thing they know
Isaac Rivera
Like that Cat School nigga, he left
Why not just run a tavern somewhere in the forest/off the beaten path, put trophys on the wall and talk about hunts and fucking witches to patrons,
Do the odd hunt now and then to keep your eye in

taking a contract doesnt mean they are trying to keep people safe
>Why bother with such a thankless task
work = money
Leo King
These, not like they have any remote chance of a normal life anyway.
Justin Roberts
>What motivates a Witcher?
Fate. It's literally their fate to be witchers, and they can't escape from it. "No witcher ever died in his bed" is a reference to it, ie, you can't escape your fate.
Jace Thomas
The witchers were very important for centuries, at the time of Geralt monsters are rarer and magic is waning, but in Witcher III monsters start reappearing where they had been absent for awhile,
Thomas Myers
why don't they just get work as a king's bodyguard or something? it has to pay better than witcher's work

Easton Evans
People revile Witchers so it usually isn't a good look for the King, if I recall correctly Foltest garnered much criticism for keeping Geralt on retainer. Additionally, Witchers and Sorceresses don't get along well usually, and Kings always have one of those on retainer too.
Zachary Ross
Post the audio link at least.
Adrian Turner
Witchers aren't that powerful normally. There is a bounty hunter in the books that hunts witchers, ans he's just a regular human. Even at the start of the short stories Geralt is already a fucking legend. And even then he's weaker than a wizard who has military training in his youth.

It's better than being a peasant . Some witchers hunted more than just monsters . Gotta make a living etc
Sebastian Reyes
The fuck else they gonna do? Suck dick like you, nigga?
Christian Rivera
to get paid
if you took jobs for free in any of the games you where not playing in a canon way
Thomas Edwards
Witchers aren't book smart so they can't exactly have a lucrative normal profession except in rare instances like that one assassin Witcher who retired and started owning businesses or whatever he did.
So the only thing they're good at is killing. It's either kill humans or monsters for a living, or go work a peasant job and get bullied by the local peasants, but the peasants wouldn't even want them working with them in the first place.
