It made sense in books - the monsters were becoming rare as civilization spreaded, the people that had monster problems were usually poor, and the alternative for them was "move on to big city or less wild region".
Witchers were relicts of different times and had to compete on price or pivot to assasin/bodyguard industry :)
In games for gameplay reason they made monsters very common again (explaining it away by wars and plague decivilizing big regions again) - so it make sense for witchers to be more wealthy again.
- ericdykstra 11y agoI think you're spot-on here (personally I'm currently reading the books and playing through the Witcher 3 slowly). The world of the Witcher 3 is a lot more monster-riddled than what's presented in the books, with a board full of witcher contracts at every little settlement. It wouldn't make sense for witchers to be poor in the context of the game, especially in a world where witchers are a dying breed and monsters are on the rise again.
- shmerl 11y agoNot sure about that. Usually even for difficult monsters witchers aren't paid a lot simply because people are too poor, and in the country riddled by war it's even more so.
