Raye: I am fluent in troperese, that particular trope is not exactly relevant here. For one, the people raping sorceresses were never stated to be part of one particular group, there are no personalities, no team. Some people took the opportunity to act out on their baser instincts, that's all. Some may have felt justified in what they were doing because they saw the sorceresses as inherently deceptive and evil (this doesn't justify their actions, but just trying to get inside their heads here) what we have here is a mob mentality. Not EVERYONE will side with the mob, though, and they should not be judged for others actions. That's all I'm saying. Wiping out EVERYONE, guilty or not, is not justice. You also seem to forget that the VICTIMS are still inside the city. These people can't be committing heinous acts if no victims are around. A Dragon is not a precision weapon, it's not going to pick and choose who dies.
and as mentioned, this has nothing to do with letting the dragon live. I let the dragon live even without being able to break the spell. Its the reasons behind it. I let the dragon live simply because it's a victim, and can still conceivably be saved. not in the hopes that it will unleash fiery death on a rioting mob.
iamin7ove: What are you talknig about Triss clearly stated "the knights raped two sorceresses"
Nothing justifiy raping at all, only killing or burning at stakes is.
So basically they are just a bunch of animals making excuse. And in my experience, animals behind human mask are danger and needs to be eradicated
Back to the dragon.
You forgot something
The dragon doesn't care what you think when sparing it, at least for that momment. After it recover, it will destroy the city. That much is fact.
Try not to ignore that behind your own reason to let the dragon lives.
And pls, read again
I didnt agree on unleashing the dragon on the city thinknig of justice.
rather
I agree on leting the dragon lives even if it destroy the city, which is believe is better than kiling the dragon so that it doesnt destroy the loose hell of a city .
Get it ?
Btw about ttrope. I was only highlighting the "Casualty" conversation.
The only justice i talked about was killing the whole order of knights that raped or allowed few to rape the two sorceresses mentioned BY Triss. That justice I uphold
I am going to have to agree with some others, this was largely incoherent, it's tough to make sense of. But I'll try.
When Triss referred to "the knights" she wasn't talking about ALL the knights there, there were hundreds of knights from several different orders, one for each kingdom in attendance. It doesn't take a hundreds of knights to rape two women. Most of them don't even KNOW eachother. Though it was clear more than a couple knights were on a rampage, it wasn't all of them. They do notshare a single mind, they are a group of individuals who happen to all share the label of "knight". It's like, if you saw someone in a city raping a woman, or whatever, and you said "I saw some men do it" you would not be referring to ALL men in the city, right? And as for allowing it to happen, they are not superheroes, they are just men with swords. They are not all knowing, they don't have super senses, they can't be everywhere. If it happened around the corner from them, and they simply had no clue it was going on, or got there too late, why should they be blamed? I repeat, it's not justice to kill them all, it's murder.
You are splitting hairs on your reasons. You think it's justice to let everyone in the city die, yes or no?
I am not forgetting anything. In my playthrough that I will be importing into 3, I will be breaking the spell on the dragon. She lives, but no curse means she will have no desire to attack, even if she was able. I haven't gotten to that point yet with my Roche run, but will likely let her live, because as explained before, she is a victim, and should not be killed for it especially if it's possible she might be saved later, and as some others have explained, the dragon could not actually come back and kill everyone, which is true. But since at least part of your reason for letting the dragon live was to dish out "justice" against people who may or may not be guilty, I'm just saying, that line of thinking is, imo, morally wrong because innocent people will be killed, assuming it was possible.
