The Witcher 3 (Hearts of Stone): Gaunter O'Dimm's true nature

" Do you really wish to know?" " Yes" " No, Geralt. You don't." This was always the most memorable dialogue exchange in this massive game. You can really hear the honesty in his voice, he's not fucking around

And that my friends is what happens when you give superpowers to a lawyer.

Masterfuly written character. "Master Mirror" as his nickname says - really works here. He is a mirror of every character he is talking to - he was kind and caring while talking with Shani, Evil and arrogant with Olgierd, and straight to the point and neutral with Geralt.

"All of who have learnt my true nature are all dead or suffered an even worse fate." Chills, man.

incredible how powerless geralt looks in his mastercrafted armor, 2 swords and cat eyes sitting next to this peasant dressed in rags

You could tell he was out of place from the start: He was sitting on a table.

What i love about him, is that he never, at any point in time, was dishonest about anything he did, provided, or sought after. He barley even twisted his wording that much; all he did was exploit the hell out of every little loop hole.

This guy makes the unseen elder look like a bunny lol

The voice actor for O'Dimm is a national treasure

I think people miss the true significance of Gaunter killing the drunk by quite a lot. Yes its a chilling moment and all, but more importantly, it means that he can indeed kill at a whim, and that he is not bound by any cosmic rule that he cant directly act against mortals. He does not HAVE to honor his contracts, he chooses to. In other words, his rules are self imposed, and even though he wont, he could indeed choose to just kill you at any time. A lot of devil figures in mythology are constrained by the laws of God or the gods, and CANT just slaughter humans, hence the need for deception. This is not the case here.

2:53 Just realized this but he's not even looking at Geralt, he's looking straight at the player.

-Do you really wish to know? -Yes! -No, Geralt, you don't, even devs don't know what I am

Dude. The guy he killed just wanted to buy Geralt a drink. Judging by his posture, he's probably a bit drunk as it is and likely doesn't have any ulterior motives and just wants a drinking buddy. In conclusion, O'Dimm really is evil.

Gaunter is legit terrifying. He's not physically imposing but you feel his presence.

I love how much he progresses in flaunting his abilities as the story goes on. He starts off pretty tame and cryptic. "I called upon my many talents and associates to give him what he desired" referring to giving Olgierd his immortality. By the end he's stopping time and walking on air as if they were stairs.

Best villain in the series, you like him but at the same time you hate him

I started another playthrough of W3 recently, he is one of the first characters you talk to at the Inn in White Orchard at the very start of the game. Legitimately freaked me out because I didn't remember him from the Inn at all when I first played through Hearts of Stone. Designed to be forgettable, but he's evil incarnate. The developers hid him in the background of the populace all over the game too. He's always there, watching you in plain sight... Just like the devil would be

aww and all he wanted to do was have a drink with him...

Did u guys notice that no one seems to pay any attention to him when he is sitting on the table. Like no one else sees him except Geralt... It could be that he can watch u for a long time with out being noticed unless he wants you to notice him. Could be that he exists beyond time and space.

The moment his voice goes form joking around to utter seriousness when he says "no, Geralt, you dont." Is shows how great a character he is.
