I´m wondering. After all that chasing, after all that time spent figuring out why Letho killed Foltest, who was behind it, etc. did anyone actually tell Letho to just gtfo at the end?

I was considering it, but then I thought. No, I´ve ran halfway around the world to find this guy and I´m not about to just part ways with him. Too much effort. Plus, it would be like skimping out on the final boss-fight of the game.

I see no reason not to let Letho go.Letho did a LOT for Geralt , they are friends not foes.In the future even if Letho continues to work for Nilfgaard (which i really doubt) it doesn't matter.Geralt is out of politics , he goes his own path to find Yaneffer now (which is possible only because of Letho)

Lets see:
Geralt got framed, tortured almost executed
He claims to know Geralt weakness
Kidnapped Triss, then left her to die in ravines
Almost destroyed trolls marriage
i dont even start about all political crap kings witches and Nilfgaard

One time of 3 i let him go. To dangerous to keep him alive, he is butcher, not witcher

I see no reason to kill him. He never harmed geralt directly, he actually spared his life, he saved Yennefer, he saved Triss (in my playthrough)... Really, why kill him?

Yep. I'm pretty much as "easy come, easy go" as they come, and Letho was a bro. Bros before hoes, and (assuming you left Triss for him to save) he took care of the two women in your life so you pretty much owe him. Two women saved - one framing for regicide = you owe Letho one favor. That's just math.

But seriously, there's no way letting him live won't come back as an epic decision in a future game, and seeing him sprawled out all dead-like was too depressing. He's kind of adorable for a king-decapitating hired killer, and it was literally like I had stabbed a teddy bear to death.

Tbh, I kill him mainly 'cos .. I wanted one more fight 'cos the game is about to end.

If it were a case of what I would do in order to import my save into the next game, I'm leaning towards letting him go.

In this game everyone was murdering everyone, man's life worth almost nothing.. I was fed up with it and hoped I wouldn't have to fight Letho.

I'm shocked by the amount of people who let him live. I saved his worthless hide from a beastie, that's why he takes care of Yen and doesn't kill me in Flotsam. Not killing me in Flotsam, by the way, shouldn't count. If it weren't for the way CDPR wanted to tell this story I'd have killed him then and there. Cutscene determining the story FTL. Also, he didn't take care of Triss, he kidnaps her. Everything that happens to her afterward is his fault as far as I'm concerned.

I had a nice convo with Letho at the end, and then I gutted him.

I let him go on both playthroughs.

Out of the major NPCs, he was one of the few who played completely straight with Geralt. He didn't stab you in the back, use you as a pawn, lie to your face, threaten you, or consider you a glorified errand boy. That you were there when Foltest was killed, was just bad luck rather than deliberate planning.

Once your name was cleared, there was no need to kill him or keep tracking him down. If you want to kill him "for being bad" or being "mean to people", go join the Flaming Rose.

Catch you later Letho, maybe we'll bump into each other over some vodka sometime.

I finished The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings 3 times (2 times with Vernon Roche and 1 time with Iorweth)

-first play (Vernon Roche), I saved Triss, let Sile and Letho go and I spared Saskia
-second play (Iorweth), I got Philipas Dagger, let Sile and Letho go and resqued Saskia
-third play (Vernon Roche) I saved Anais de la Valette and brought her to King Radovid. I let Sile go but I killed Letho and spared Saskia
-fourth play will be with Iorweth, but this time I shall slaughter them all.

I hope for some more DLCs and 1 or 2 Addons to complete the Storyline. Based on my decisions above I DON'T THINK that the Temerian nobility will sit and accept the decrete of Loc Mouinne. I want to go back to Wyzima (with Radovid) and crush the conspiracies and the corrupt Noblehouses :) I hope I get to see my friends Kalkstein, Vincend Mais, Thalar and Declan Leuwarden again.

... the humanity!...

ROLE playing game.... ROLE playing game...

First run I spared him, now I just finished the second run and I killed him, cause I played a different kind of Geralt (killed a lot of people on the way).

But I really had to force myself to kill him, I totally love the character, and I agree 100% with Lycos. And that's the why I like so much the character. Despite being the main antagonist of the game, he is one of the few that Geralt could call "friend".

Worth killing for political reasons? Hell no in my book

First playthrough, I was just emotionally exhausted from how mine ended (I killed Saskia myself after supporting her and saving her in Vergen, and then found my friend Iorveth charred and horribly injured in the streets) that I didn't want to kill anyone else. Besides that, Letho seemed genuine in not ever trying to involve me and his protection of Yennefer for me indirectly led to him being coerced into helping the empire, so I didn't have much reason to kill him anyway.

The second time, he was the last murder in a string of murders of major characters I'd committed: Loredo, Henselt, Dethmold, Saskia.

I kinda went over this in another thread... but in general things point to me killing him. If you sided with Iorveth, him betraying Iorveth has more impact on your decision, so that added to it for me on that playthrough. While in Roche's side there is an attempt on the life of Henselt, but come on, Henselt is an asshole, so that didn't have a lot of impact on an emotional level, but still, once Henselt was gone they'd move on to another target, and another... Also, in both sides, while he did save Triss at the very end, he also KIDNAPPED her in Flotsam, and did so by hitting her, and mortally wounding Cedric in the process, and then leaving her for dead when she had teleported him. Saving her at the end if you did not rescue her yourself seems like a weak gesture in comparison. And then there's the whole thing with Nilfgaard... while I appreciate he wants his School of the Viper back, the cost seems to be so high as to be not worth it. There had to have been other ways, operate in secret, move to another country, something.
