Yes, I was talking about spooning but not about spooining itself but reasons behind it and what he said before doing it. He clearly has some inferior complexes about Phillipa.


He's the king, and his own adviser doesn't bother bowing down to him, not to mention that she's a plotter that plots the deaths of kis, what the hell did you expect? Personally I thought he was being rather merciful.

Also his massacre of sorceress in Loc Muinne.


Good riddance, sorcerers, sorceresses, scheming, self-centred, narcissistic untrustworthy bastards, the whole lot of them.

Even Triss, or rather especially Triss. "Sile is responsible of the king slayers..." Uh, just Sile? What about the rest of the Lodge, the head conspirator Phillipa included. Oh, right, that would include you, right.

And then the other line of her after the fight with dragon is over, "Sorcerers need their place, or another Lodge is inevitable." Ah, the one you joined, right. Because they will conspire to bring instability, bring death and terror, we must bow to their demands and hand them all manner of privileges and funding to research ever greater magic and have complete control over who sits at the right hand of a king, making them essentially above the kings? No, that would be reasons kill the lot of them and be done with it.

God, I hate Triss, I hated her ever since her conspiring communication with the rest of the lodge in Witcher 1, and Witcher 2 only lowers my opinion of her. Wish she was right alongside the rest of the magic terrorists burning on the pires.


PS: As for who started the Witch/Warlock hunt, I'm pretty sure Iorveth said after I killed the dragon it was the Nilfgaardians that started it, and the north's armies then gleefully joined in.

Well, if Yennefer appears in TW3 and she recover her memories, as Geralt will do (Ihope!), I would not like to be under Triss' skin

When i import my TW1 savegame, i saved Adda, let Siegfried and Yaevinn alive.

Now with TW2 i make these decisions:

Aryan lives: i think we all know that this is, by far, the best choice

At the end of Act 1 i choose Iorveth instead of Roche (i like both characters though)

Stennis alive: i´m sure that he will, at least, try to defend Aedirn from Nilfgaard (at least for a time), but i think there will be a civil war between Saskia and Stennis (in the end, he doesn´t like her)

Save Saskia: i seriously don´t know what the hell would happend to her, but i think she could help us in The Witcher 3

Kill Letho: at this point i didn´t know what to think anymore. I spoke to him, i get some answers, but i choose to kill him (not only to clear Geralt´s name, but also to avenge Foltest). Is there a chance that he could help us on The Witcher 3 (if we decide to spare him), in our mission of tracking down the wild hunt?, i guess we´ll find out the next year.

One thing i´m sure: we need a lot of savegames with different choices
I choose neutrality... I´m a Witcher.... Everyone disagreed

Somehow I doubt it would make much of a difference in TW3 apart from some codex entries. The endings are so vastly different, the map of the North in one ending is nothing like in another. I would be glad to be proven wrong. But now I just hope that all these choices in two games were not completely discarded, like it happened in ME3, because it becomes very complicated and requires a lot of extra work.

I even have no idea what version CDPR would choose as a default one. It would be interesting to see where their preferences lie, though. Are the sorcerers exterminated or not in a default TW2 ending when people with no TW2 saves start TW3? In default TW2 situation Adda was dead, for example.

Personally I think Ioreveth path isn't so bad as people think.If you think about it Saskia under Phillipa's control and Stennis dead+ Scoia'tel and Ioreveth could find some way to defend Adeirn.While in Roche path you couldn't have Temeria saved and The conclave established at the same time.In Ioreveth path you could have the conclave established,Keadwen and Redenia strong with Flotsam and Temeria,Dead Letho,Cynthia and Ambasador,Phillipa Saskia and Ioreveth could hold Adiern for a while,that is a full defenece.In Roche you can't have both Temeria fixed and conclave established,on Ioreveth's path you can.

Actually, I prefer it exactly the opposite. It is possible to play for Nilfgaard, so to speak - kill Arian, kill Henselt, kill Saskia, rebellion is crashed, Stennis is dead. I do not save Iorweth in Vergen, I expose only Kimbolt to Natalis, and keep pro-nilfgaardian Maravel in play. I let Sile die - no person - no problem. I save Anais and give her to Natalis, thus preventing Redania to acquire Temeria as a protectorate. And, obviously, I have all sorcerers in the North massacred. Baby Anais, whether she wants to play with knives or not, is still too young, and surrounded by treacherous barons, her brother is dead, her mother is in Nilfgaardian custody, Natalis is in debt with a dwarven bank (while both Aedrin and Kaedwin have no kings, Nilfgaard will conquer this region, including dwarven lands, in no time), so it is possible to find a way to influence him. Letho is alive and well, and goes back to Emhyr, where he may be useful again. So when ours at last cross Yaruga, they will encounter practically no resistance. ;)/>/>/>

Well, if we can and do have completely different outcomes, how on earth CDPR are going take them all into account? Would love to see TW3 soon.

I play the game siding mainly with Triss and Vernon, with the interests of the north in mind while being moral and having a friendly loyalty towards Foltest.

I side with the order, helping Siegfried reform the knights into a more noble group and strengthening the region.

I save Adda. Radovid won't be interested in marrying Anais, he'll have fewer questionable intentions against Temeria.

I save Aryan. Nilfgaard gains no allies after the siege.

I help Roche at the rose garden and avoid some human and non-human conflict.

I take out Loredo and travel with the blue stripes.

I save Iorveth at Vergen for Zoltan. A skilled troop of elven archers that were once betrayed by Nilfgaard are alive and kicking.

I spare Henselt.

I expose both Kimbolt and Maravel to Natalis. Natalis will use his awareness to avoid internal rabble in Temeria.

I save Triss. The lodge will be exposed. No wild witch hunt will ensue, but rather one against the lodge. The conclave will put a pause to the bickering among monarchs, and they have the interests of the north in mind, and will stand at its defense. Temeria is split between Redania and Kaedwen since no heir to the throne is to be found. Roche has Anais under his protection and she will one day show herself being alive and ready to take the throne. Natalis should still have trust in Roche and would vouch for him.

I let Sile die. If she were to live, she could still borrow Saskia from Philippa and be a huge threat. I think I'd prefer eventually having a free dragon willing to help rather than letting the Lodge roam around using a dragon against Nilfgaard right away.

I let the dragon live. I hope to eventually defeat Philippa and save Saskia who wants to protect the north.

I kill Letho. This is more of a personal victory for Geralt. I kill him because he's taken away innocent life like that of Cedric's for his own goals. On the other hand, he's a guy who's probably going to be betrayed by Nilfgaard and he's done Geralt a lot of good. Letho wants to rebuild the school of the Viper but he no longer believes the Wild Hunt to be anything more than a ruse. I think the emperor would use his school for his personal ambitions.
