    Huh, I don’t really get the trailer. Is that guy from the previous games? Or is he just a random monster victim. What’s the significance of salt? Why would the coin have her fooled?

    Sorry if I’m ignorant to common lore.

      Most of the people that appear in Witcher trailers are just random victims or passer-bys.

      This video was split into 2, in the other half we learn that the merchant told ciri that he was transporting salt. And that was a chest full of coins.

      So just a stupid IGN decision, not your fault nor some lore that you’re unaware of.

        Oh, thank you! I’ll have to find the 2nd half. It did seem rather short on its own for a trailer!
