The Witcher 3’s Fairy Tale-Inspired Quests Are Must-Plays for Any RPG Fan

As a franchise spanning video games, books, and a television series, The Witcher owes everything to 300-year-old fairy tales. The very first book, The Last Wish (which itself is a collection of short stories set in The Witcher universe), has a number of fairy tale references, including "A Grain of Truth" being a twist on Beauty and the Beast, "A Question of Price" bears close resemblance to Cinderella with a celebration at a ball and a knight that can only remove his helmet after midnight, and "The Last Wish" (the short story the collection is named after) is about a genie granting three wishes, a la Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.
