I'm not sure the whole Temerian army + Redanian and Kaedweni equipped with silver swords would be less efficient than Letho against a potential Wild Hunt offensive of specters

I have a question by the way , can Witcher mutants can still be "created" in this time period ?
Cause if yes , then why wouldn't Geralt not able to become head of wolf school and train many witchers against the Wild hunt ? Or are witchers a dying breed and no new witchers will appear ?


Also wouldn't the Lodge be able to fight the Wild Hunt more efficiently ? cause they said in the game that magic was powerful against the wild hunt specters .

also if Nilfgaard invades the northern kindgdom , bye bye mages and the lodge ? so the wild hunt would emerge more dangerous without the mages organized and active , ready to support the witchers against the wild hunt

I felt bad enough killing Berengar in TW1, we need every Witcher possible so Letho HAS to live. He's extremely capable as well.

As an aside, where did the other Witchers from Kaer Morhen run off to during the search for Salamandra in TW1?

yeah. book geralt wouldn't kill him. player geralt might, if player geralt is caught up in politics.

Geralt went south, the other took the other 3 directions

If you found the stolen mutagens, then, yes, it's possible, if you can find a mage who knows how to control the process, but at this time, there is no one who knows the secret of creating the grasses and controlling the process.

I have 4 playthroughs (two on each side) and I pretty much split this decision. He lived once on each side. On Sile on the other hand only got to live once.

Killed the guy, but yeah, it was a pretty tough decision. He say's he'll just go his separate way, but think about it - Geralt would hardly be the first person who Letho lied to, and Letho is a dangerous enemy to have. Plus he started a war and handed Triss over to Nilfgaard, so he's going down haha. But the game leaves it ambiguous enough that you can make a pretty good case for both choices.

Yeah. The first time i chose Jorveths path and let him go. Second time I played Roche's path and killed him, just to see how tough it would be. There are lots of choices in the game, which often have big consequences, like you can't complete certain quests...

no, that doesn't happen. triss gets captured separately.

If you've stuck with Roche, bear in mind that he took a great risk in letting you escape from prison -- an act which would make him an accomplice to a kingslayer, had you been lying to him. He provides you with refuge and other assistance. In the end, he's willing to let you engage in personal business while he, alone, attempts something that could easily get him killed, and *at best* is likely to result in him becoming a highly wanted fugitive and outlaw of the sort he himself has been pursuing for years.

Letting Letho walk away would be one hell of a betrayal, no?

well you said you'd find him, not kill him. :P there's a difference between clearing your name and becoming a bounty hunter. it's like how you know iorveth and roche have personal beef with each other, but it's not your place to get involved.

in fact, dandelion AND zoltan ask you why you're so intent on finding the kingslayer. none of the responses you can give mention "i made a promise to roche", and rightly so.

Haha I didn't know that. Does that come out on Iorveth's path or did I miss it somehow? That actually changes what decision I'd make, considering that I played Geralt as mostly trying to live his own life and not get roped into politics.

if i recall correctly, triss is fairly beat up from the teleportation to aedirn. letho promptly runs away, and then later cynthia (a nilfgaardian mage) turns her into a statue.

Are you sure of that ?

I ask cause so far only Treasa and you were kind and/or knowledgeable enough about the lore to answer my question of "can new witchers be created ? "

Treasa said powerful mages could uncover the secret ritual , besides in the game it is clearly said the Wild Hunt is most vulnerable to Magic above all , and the Mage of the Conclave are the best Sorcerers on this planet by a country mile , the most able to fight the Wild Hunt and close their portals

Moreoever , since it s a Mage that invented the ritual for Witchers initially , thus i'm pretty certain the likes of Philippa Eilhart or Francesca Findabair would be able to help .

i don't see how Letho alone , as morally corrupt as he is , as the total pawn of Nilfgaard , completely under the charm of the Emperor (' he speaks about the Empreror as if it was some kind of Deity , or rather a Devil actually , maybe he 's under a spell , who knows , cause no "sane" Witchers would be that fascinated by a ruler and so obedient to him )

Also what i don't like in your pro Letho intepretations is that you take everything he says for granted ..... Whereas Letho at the start of Chapter 1 says " I know Geralt's weakness " after telling Iorveth that Geralt lost his memory : Thus it is perfectly possible that the whole story he told is not exactly true since he's a very good deceiver (he deceived Everybody , why not Geralt ? ) and that in fact , he's manipulating you and trying to get you away from politics , Northern Kingdoms so that he can better serve the interests of the Emperor

i humbly don't think letting Letho live would make such a big deal of difference against the WIld Hunt , on the contrary he'd make it easier for Nilfgaard to invade the north and destroy the Mages , and i don't seriously understand how one can forgive to such a an evil man who kidnapped your girl , got you accused of murder , humiliated you in a fight , almost got you killed several times (and is racist of elves and Dwarves that Geralt likes ) whereas you initially you saved his life .

I think forgiveness is a great humane quality , but i don't think everybody deserves forgiveness , partciularly when they are so racist , cynical murderer and deceivers without any kind of remorse or regret . The onyl argument to save him is the Wild Hunt , but i'm not even sure he'd make that much of a difference anyway , but i respect your opinions

I approached the decision from what could I expect if there is a witcher3. hre is clearly involved with the south and at the bidding of the emperor. If I let him go he may appear in the battle to help the south fight against the north. And on this playthrough I was with Iorveth and saved Vergan. Do I want to have to fight him in the future? How can I be sure he disappears?

But on the other hand Yennerfer is in the south and I may have to go there to save her. He might come in handy and help me out with finding her. And of course there is the hunt and his school knows lots of info about it. He was told that his school would be rebuilt for his help in killing the kings.

So what did I do? I cheated and did both. LOL
