During a Witcher 3: Wild Hunt panel at PAX, CD Projekt Red talked about the Szamalek said Geralt was given a crossbow. This was in stark contrast to the book series, where it was stated explicitly "witchers don't use bows or crossbows." witchers strictly refuse to use a crossbow, a weapon that comprises a valuable component of Geralt's arsenal in the third game. French fans were also surprised to see Geralt and Yennefer climb on top of a unicorn in The Witcher 3's infamous love scene .
