Yeah, my bad - I should have clarified that. I also noticed this discrepancy when reading through the wiki, but thought I'd go with the first Witcher's version. Just seemed more fitting; in TW3 for example you can use any manner of steel sword, which kinda cheapens the idea that witchers have these cool swords etc. So, it's a meteorite steel sword, not just any ol' plain chunk of metal :lol 

Initially I had written that my character uses a silver sword to fight, but then I read on reddit that in the books Geralt doesn't use the silver blade against every monster he encounters, saving it for the truly fabled ones. The reason for this is that silver is rather soft, making it easy to damage; they also say that the sword itself isn't entirely made out of silver, but instead it's a steel core plated in silver. That sounded familiar at least, I think someone explained that in one of the games too. Anyway, it makes sense to me. After all, why wouldn't a steel blade cut through a drowner as easily as a silver one? Now, a werewolf or something of the sort, I can see why you'd need a more special weapon. Up to you though, we can have them use silver swords against all monsters to make it more iconic. 

Also, I've based most of the stuff I use/plan to use from the first game's lore. A lot of the information in the wiki comes from there, plus I feel like the first Witcher had the richest setting, in terms of explaining how stuff works. The biggest example I have is the alchemy system, it's really detailed and I plan to draw inspiration from that when describing potions/brewing. Naturally, if you feel like we should do something different, I'm all ears. 

Finally, I should mention that I plan on doing a small time-skip in my next post. I'll have my character arrive back in the village sometime in the early morning, after an unpleasant night spent in the caves. 

Looking forward to the next post, whenever it's ready!
