i have a question for you, since you appear to be in the midst of a roche hyperfixation and i have a flavor of brain weirdness that makes me Bad At Viddy Games so i will sadly never play the witcher
whycome his hat look like that
help me finley i want to understand
it’s called a chaperon, and it was commonly worn in Western Europe in the Middle Ages! It was originally a hood but eventually evolved into more of a generic head-wrap, and there are several different ways to wear them according to artistic depictions. Here’s the wikipedia page if you want to learn more about them!
@sebdoeswords might know more about them and specifically the significance of Roche’s. I would assume they’re useful in keeping sunlight out of one’s eyes, but seeing as Roche is a warrior, the apparent limited visibility would probably be a hinderance so I’m not actually sure. Respect to the designers though, because hats and headwear are severely underutilized character design aspects!
