History VideoGame / ThronebreakerTheWitcherTales

* VitriolicBestBuds: Reynard and Gascon - understandably - ''loathe'' each other at the beginning of the game. But after much TeethClenchedTeamwork they eventually seem to develop into this. Both seem quite upset if the other dies during the FinalBattle.
* WidowWoman: Meve became queen some years back following the death of her husband - King Reginald the Courageous - although she's hardly distressed about it since he was reportedly a reckless and dim-witted ruler.

* BodyguardCrush: It is implied that Reynard's loyalty towards Meve goes deeper than his duty as her knight and advisor. In the endings in which [[spoiler:Reynard survives the FinalBattle]] it's strongly implied he and Meve have had a RelationshipUpgrade but keep it quiet for the sake of politics.

* SwampsAreEvil: The one Meve's army treks through in Angren in Chapter 4 certainly counts given the sheer amount of horrendous stuff the find in it.

* AntagonisticOffspring: ZigZagged. Villem leads a coup against his own mother and surrenders the country to Ardal aep Dahy. However, he's clearly being manipulated by Count Caldwell into thinking his mother's belief they can win a war against the Nilfgaardian Empire is suicidial and that this is the only option he has to save both his country and his mother. When it becomes clear the Northern Kingdoms are going to be victorious over Nilfgaard, he attempts to reconcile with Meve. Whether or not it is successful is determined by player choice.

* UndyingLoyalty: Reynard Odo is completely devoted to Meve and takes great offence at that devotion being questioned. It's notable that he's one of the few NPCs who will never permanently leave Meve's army even if she makes every decision he disagrees with.

* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: A large number of cards in your deck represent NPCs the player has recruited to join their army. Many of those card's special abilities will reflect the personalities of the NPC they represent, such as Black Rayla's FantasticRacism against elves manifesting as her growing stronger whenever an enemy Scoia'tel unit is destroyed.

* SpoilerCover: Geralt's appearance on the game's cover, as seen on the page image above. Geralt doesn't appear until very late in the game. Of course, anyone who's read the books won't consider it much of a spoiler.

* MultipleEndings: Par for the course with the franchise, the end state of the game hinges on several of Meve's choices, notably whether Reynard or Gascon [[spoiler: survives to the end.]]
