I don't know how it would've tied into the "Witcher" arc... because I don't think they were around yet? But I would have loved to had a game set during the "Conjunction of the Spheres".

Huh? What do you mean? I'm saying i would have liked to play as the first witcher, which would have taken place 400 years or so prior to the first game.

Edit: apologies i misunderstood your comment. See my below response. A game based on the conjunction would have been awesome. Too bad.

They meant they wanted a game set during the conjunction of the spheres but didn't know if witchers were a thing yet at that timeframe in the lore. The wording made it seem like they were talking about your first witcher idea but they were talking about a different alternate timeframe setting they'd like to see.

Ah gotchya. Thank you. Yes, in the lore (as best I can remember) there were no witchers during the conjunction. It was when humans first appeared.

I think you're both asking for the same thing. IIRC my lore correctly, Witcher clans were founded after the Conjunction to deal with the sudden influx of monsters. A game about the first Witcher could be set mere months after the event.

I sound like a huge nerd here but i believe witchers were created 500 years prior when the humans first got to the continent and encountered monsters. Both humans and monsters came from the conjunction. It is never explained what humans were doing for the first 1000 years after the conjunction (conjunction was 1500 years ago) prior to arriving on the continent. I assume they also had to deal with monsters or maybe the monsters were dropped only on the continent? No idea. The author was unfortunately not very consistent or clear on historic lore. Perhaps it was intended. I'm not sure.
