You're mixing up the epilogue reel map with the end credit one. I gave Anais to Radovid and the latter didn't reflect it. ›››

Oh, in that case I don't think I've seen the map you are referring to. I'll have to go check

[RSIK4]

lets wait and watch friends....but i want my playthrough from start of TW3 with Vernon Roche...and tris alsobut in my all playthrough in TW2 i have gave anais to Vernon at the end....

[thelostdunmer]

Roche's path will hold more cohesion IMO. However, Iorveth's path and the new upper Aedirn "benevolent republic" will be even more interesting as all sides will try to crush this region before they go on their separate agendas.

Imagine Temeria and Kadwen uniting against Saskia but at the same time Nilfgaard attacking it on another side.

Will Radovid, Henselt, and Saskia seek a temporary alliance to battle the emperor's horde?

[Costin Moroianu]

I think what is likely to happen is that Henselt, who has his lands north of Upper Aedirn, will just let Saskia fight it on her own while he holds the Temerian front with Redania and the Temerians, the interesting question is what the Rivian army will do.

Rivia wasn't even mentioned in TW2 (at least as far as I remember). That ought to make for an interesting sub-plot in TW3. I'm hoping they will include Queen Meve if she's still alive. I didn't particularly like her in the books I read so far, but I do think she'd be a really interesting character to interact with in the games.

[ReptilePZ]

What they should do is approach this the way ME2 did on the PS3 - a short animated recap of the events that transpired in TW1 and TW2. At key moments, the player gets to make choices - they've already incorporated such animations with Geralt's flashbacks so why not go further and use this as a Saved Game creator.

My dear Friendsss....Please read this post carefully http://www.pcgamer.c...-the-witcher-3/

That article is a pile of shit not worth even mentioning.

Definitely. Even if a couple points could have been good, the actual explanation was idiotic on almost every one.

The fact that the guy believes Nilfgaard to be a city kind of speaks for itself, though.

GERALT, TRUE TEMERIAN: This Geralt is the savior of Vizima and friend to Foltest. He is honorable and interest in the survival of the Temerian state above all.

Prologue
SPARE ARYAN: Temeria must stay strong and united.
Chapter 1
HELP ROCHE: Iorveth is a danger to the state.
CHOOSE ROCHE: Roche is Temeria's last hope.
Chapter 2
SPARE HENSELT: Roche must not dishonor Temeria with more kingsblood.
Chapter 3
SAVE ANAIS: Last hope for Temeria's bloodline.
GIVE ANAIS TO NATALIS: Temeria must not splinter.
SAVE SILE: Dethmold was your enemy, not Sile.
SPARE DRAGON (Roche-All): The Dragon helped Aryan once, it might help him again. Aryan is wild but still a Temerian.
SPARE LETHO: Killing him will not bring Foltest back. And if Anais wishes to avenge her father one day, Letho will still be out there.

Disagree with some of this.
Letho: If Geralt truly cares for Temeria then he would kill the man who murdered his king. There's no two ways about it.

Sile: Sile admitted that the lodge and her had the dragon under their control. The dragon attacked Temerian troops. Therefore without going through Iorveth's path, Geralt could be led to believe that Sile attacked Temeria. She should die.

Dragon: Dragon attacked Temerian soldiers, Aryan never said he had control of it and Sile did. If Geralt spares the dragon, even if Sile is gone, the lodge could still have control of it. There would be no reason for Geralt to spare something that can attack the kingdom again.

Aryan: This one I'm on the fence. Aryan was a traitor, however, with his half-sister in line to be queen he would stay loyal. So here I can agree with sparing him.

Wrong actually, she specifically says the Dragon was not under their control then.

Fair enough, I can't remember the specifics of of the conversation. I still believe Letho should be killed "For Temeria!"

Also the dragon can go either way. It still attacked Temeria and you can't assume that Aryan ever had control or would even have a way to control it.

[Costin Moroianu]

Oh I don't disagree on that part one bit and I spare Letho on both paths and the Dragon on Roche's path

[IceEpicX]

Saskia(The dragon) attacked Temeria becouse she liked Aryan and she agreed with his moral values and caouse,she said it.

Yes, but if you don't take Iorveth's path you never know that. You only know that a dragon attacked Temeria for some reason, but you don't know why. You also see no logical reason as to how Aryan would have control of it even though it did not attack his soldiers.

I can see the point made about sparing the dragon because Aryan may still have some control over it. However, the dragon was also controlled by the lodge after that. Seems like the dragon can be controlled by a lot of different parties in that case. More reason for you to kill it.

[Aditya_the_warrior_within]

my bet is there will be profile choices with descriptions on what already happened, although not directly and will unfold in the game, just like there was nothing mentioned if you play default game without importing. That makes more sense, but in the end won't know for certain. And in the end I'm just like most ppl here are going to ave have multiple playthroughs which each of our saves (that is if they make a big difference unlike TW2) so not thinking much about it personally. I would be interested to see if they didn't go with the option thing and have directly one default, which would give an idea of what the writers and devs think which would be their opinion of how the game does. I wish I'm wrong here, in the end it is story of each one of us, but when you think about it the game is theirs. Okay I need to stop thinking about it really.

[Costin Moroianu]

Well sure, but the problem is that when they do that they kill of characters not because it's their preference but rather because they don't want to saddle new players with info about people they don't know about.

Look at TW2, are you really going to tell me CDPR killed off Ada, Yaevin and Siegfried because that's what the writers wanted?

I really hope, in regards to new players, they don't go that way again. The "You didn't play our previous game, you get penalized!" way. It's a petty workaround to make people want to buy The Witcher 2 when they won't like the default outcome. I wouldn't be affected by it, of course, but it's not what I'd expect from CDPR anyway, they'd just make a better impression with a comprehensive checklist, in my opinion.

A Temerian Nationalist would be the one killing Henselt, killing Sile, killing Aryan ( he did rebel against Foltest ), saving Anais and giving her to Natalis and then killing Letho.

There's a strong case for said Temerian nationalist giving Anais over to Radovid if Adda is alive I'd say.

Hmm... Put the nationalist heir in the same court with a known schemer? No, I don't think Adda is a safe choice for stepmother. Anais is safer with Natalis, or even on the run with Roche.
