Wrong sub Reddit brochacho
The Witcher continues to find ways to sneak its way into Cyberpunk
There are also drones named Griffins and Wyverns in the game
Nice found mate ! 💯
I knew it was a mythical creature but I forgot it was a dog, that’s fitting
It’s a mythological creature before both tho.
I just realized the typo. “Barghests saints and sinners alike would need fear barghests”

Wow, I missed this too lol
Barghests are actually creatures from folklore, them showing up in both games is more likely that they pulled from the same references for inspiration rather than being referential to Witcher
Wait till you find out it’s based on a real folkloric creature.

Not like CDPR invented the concept of barghest or the usage of the name for a group of people. But sorta nice touch
I guess. CDPR didn’t invent Barghests, it’s not weird to assume it’s just a shared concept rather than a reference to The Witcher
I guess Hansen is a Witcher fan like V
I had just fought those for the first time in the Witcher 3 then like a week later noticed in cyberpunk lol
Barghast is a hound of a WoW boss in Shadowlands. I thought this dogs connection wasn’t that obscure to people.
It’s more obvious if you look at Witcher 1 design
Tbh. I only realized it after playing Marvel Midnight Suns. When they show you the actual Barghest
