At the end of the epilogue did you let Letho live, or did you kill him?

I personally set him free, he showed he wasn't really an enemy, and helped me out. I just felt there were bigger enemies at the end so I felt he could be set free.

I let him go as well. I felt it was more in keeping with Geralt's character than duelling it out and killing him.

i've got no personal beef with him. and he has no personal beef with me. we're both witchers that waded too deep into politics.

I let him go twice, I don't think I would ever have the heart to battle him.

I always killed him for the simple reason that he caused me a lot of troubles , he killed my buddy Foltest who was about to make me the richest witcher in the world and got Geralt accused instead of helping him to innocent himself .

Then he prevented me to have some good time with Triss in peace , kinda ruined my holidays in Flotsam just when i was about to score Sile de Tansarville , also he hates Elves when you listen to how he addresses and refer to them , scorn dwarves , basically he's a racist without the humanity Geralt managed to retain and a puppet of Niilfgaard whom i detest in my playthrough .

Also i didn't like his boasting after the first fight and him touching my girl and humiliating me , not to mention he's a part of my past i wanted to forget , so my Geralt had to kill him in order to draw a line with this past , and finally , i promised i'd get the kingslayer and i like to keep my promises .

Except Geralt doesn't want to forget anything about his past, quite the opposite.

Of course i agree :)

But when i said "a part of my past " i wanted to forget , i didn't mean all his past , but meant the Foltest assassination , Letho's tricks and the overall "troubles" my Geralt got involved during this adventure of TW2 because of "Letho-Lodge-Niilfgaard" , i mean it caused a lot of stress , combat , dead men and efforts from Geralt to find Letho , Geralt almost lost Triss and his life , so there was no way i'd let him walk free and alive after he answered the few questions i had in the end

Also not killing him meant i would lose face to Roche and Iorveth , and i didn't want such a gifted assassin to benefit Nilfgaard in the future and slay northern Kings again . Had he been from my school (school of the Wolf ) and been more humane , i'd have spared him

I saved him cos he also knew about the Wild Hunt.

The Wild Hunt are planning something big, and are perhaps more of a threat than Nilfgaard, Letho could be a valuable ally in the fight against the hunt.

When we hunted them together in the past, we killed loads of them, he is definitely a very helpful ally!

Kill.

1) He himself declared that he's no longer a witcher. He's taking contracts on humans and basically become a mercenary for Nilfgaard.

2) In the beginning, I promise to Roche that I'll hunt him down. I have a lot of respect for that character; he's pretty much the honorable ronin out to avenge his deceased master. He'll even help you out if you betrayed him earlier and chose to help Iorveth, even though doing so puts him at great personal risk.

3) It's pretty much the only likely way to clear your name, and also to ensure that Nilfgaard doesn't send him after you.

4) He's a ridiculously easy kill, at least on Normal. ;)

And that is the issue that the game wants you to deal with. Do you kill him as punishment or do you spare him for possible future fights. And if you do spare him can you count on him to do the right things or once again cause trouble for you. It made for a decent ending that left you with a little soul searching.

That's a good point , that would be the only reason i would consider if i had to spare him , since " an enemy of my enemy is my friend" , and the school of the viper was created to fight the Wild Hunt which is a serious danger indeed


However when roleplaying it , maybe i'm not faithful to the book , but my Geralt wants to rebuild Kaer Mohen and re create a school of the wolf to fight the Wild Hunt with dedicated Witchers , and he wants to get rid of Letho because he sees him as a cynical witcher who is merely a tool of the Niilfgaard emperor and morally corrupt .

But ok , maybe other see Letho as a regular witcher , not good not evil who just did all he could to revive the school of the viper , but i have troubles having sympathy for him

I let him live.

First, according to all evidence, I was a part of the kingslayer group before I lost my memory. What sort of hypocrit would I be if I killed him for doing what we'd agreed to do in the first place? Not his fault I can't remember the deal.

Second, To date, there are now 8 witchers still breathing that I know about and I have a bad feeling we're going to need them all. (Vesimir, Eckles, Lambert, Berringar, Letho, his other two friends he mentions in the epilogue that we haven't met yet, and me. There is at least 1 more school, somewhere, but who knows where they are, how many are left or what kind of knowledge they remember) I don't kill sentients that are among the last of their kind.

the choices in the witcher that the player makes are all about personal feelings versus larger interests.

personally, geralt doesn't have a reason to kill letho.

politically,, geralt has every reason to kill letho.

But he prefers to stay out of politics, so...
