I almost reloaded a save just to kill Sile. She's definitely not getting my help next time.

As for Letho, pretty sure I'll always have trouble letting him live since he completely embarassed me in Act 1 and I had to wait so long to fight him again(they needed to have a fight with his two cronnies during Act 2 or something).

Play Roche's path next time, you get to fight Serrit and Auckes (spelling of their names correct?) on that side of the mist.

With Letho, it's pretty murky, and kinda depends on which path you take, I think... I killed him on my Iorveth run, will let him live unless there's some major revelation soon on the Roche side of things. With Iorveth's run, Letho betrayed him, gotta stick up for my elvish buddy, especially since in my run, I had Iorveth standing RIGHT THERE... In my Roche run, I was a complete ass to Iorveth, I got him arrested, and such... so... no skin off my back if he betrayed him in that scenario... I am assuming his end speech will be the same, so in that case him looking after Yennifer counts for enough for me to spare him.

It was an easy choice, considering she had just sicked a Dragon on me. "Kill him <insert dragon name (i forget what is was)>!"

Yah, the him I was referring to was Geralt. Sile telling the dragon to kill him.

That's nice to know, I just started my Roche playthrough this morning and now I'm looking forward to it even more.


I was just thinking, playing the prologue, that it'd be cool if you could end it without Foltest being killed(stopping Letho somehow and maybe have Foltest be wounded badly instead). For some weird reason I like him even though he's an asshole. He just seems like such an important part of the fiction. Although that would completely change alot of the dialogue(and the entire prologue as well).

I kept Sile and Letho alive. I didn't see any reason for not stepping in and helping Sile out. My Geralt is not a murderer. Also, though she wasn't very helpful, she wasn't really my enemy. As for Letho, I wanted to duel him. I really did. But after all the recent revelations and the conversation with him I thought to myself "Am I any better. Am I really in a position to pass judgement?" I mean we both used our extensive skill set for our own means. Also I just didn't want more Witcher blood on my hands.

I'm proactive against monster, reactionary towards all other matters, so in that regard I let fate decide what to do with him. Maybe he should've died that day, only time will tell. All I know was that I wasn't going to be the one to do it.

Letho is NOT your friend. He left you to take the fall with foltest. He kidnapped triss then ditched her, leading her to be caught by trolls, then later to be tortured. "Saving" triss doesn't make up for getting her tortured. He may have helped Yen, but we only have his word on that, and the one thing we know for sure about him is that he lies more than any other character.

I let sile live once and die once. As horrible as the kings and nobles are, and I don't feel sorry for them at all, they never tried to mind control anyone. They probably would if they could, but the Lodge are the only ones to commit that crime. Doing so, they put the dreams of the IMO only sympathetic faction in the game at risk (nonhumans).

Saskia isn't innocent either, especially at the end, but I think that the mind control was much stronger than phillipe let on.

Fwiw, I think roche is the reason that letho gets away in the garden. If he didn't follow you, or expect discipline from loredo's men (whom he calls idiots several times), it would have been geralt, iorveth, and the archers vs letho. Roche isn't a bad guy, but his "act without thinking" issue leads to most of the problems for the rest of the game.

I played through the game on Iorveths side. Saskia is presented as the perfect monarch there. Trying to create a land where everyone, human or not, common or noble is treated equally.
And then Phillipa and Sile mindcontrol her into helping them with their stupid world domination scheme. Sorry Sile, you're not going to get away with that!

Sile - for some reason I felt inclined to let her pop on Iroveths path.
I think it was mostly from the frustration caused by the fact I couldn't finish off Philippa.
Saved her in my other playthroughs tho.

Killed Letho in all my endings.
He murdered Foltest - undoubtably the coolest northern monarch and handed the Northern Kingdoms to Nilfgaard on a silver platter.
Absolutely unforgivable in my eyes.

yeah, Letho is just... It doesn't feel right when I choose to let him go. He feels like a loose end who's going to come back one day and bite Geralt in the behind. I completely agree with you on Foltest too.

Was curious to see if Sile would actually explode if I didn't remove the crystal, so I didn't the first time I went up the tower. Was shocked to see that she did.... and only mostly in a good way.

Then I reloaded and went up the tower again, because I felt ... well, not bad that I let her die, just that things would be more interesting if she were to live. She's a troublemaker, to be sure, and I want Geralt to have lots and lots to do later on. (There WILL be expansions and sequels, right CDPR?)

And then, having saved Triss, I was given the unenviable choice of either killing the dragon, or walking away from the impaled dragon (at the time I assumed it was a mortal wound, being impaled on a tree like that, but I guess you never really know, do you?), and I chose to kill her. After that, I had serious doubts about letting ANY of Phillipa's cohorts walk free (poor dragon! :() and would have very much liked to go back and let the smarmy witch burst... a couple of times. Geralt's response to Triss' question right after that event was perfect, IMO... "I'm tired." Sick at heart, broken almost. But if I knew where to find her, I'd probably have tracked Sile down at that point and lopped off her head.

Letho... Letho I let live. Was still too tired after beating and then killing the dragon to want another fight, even with him. May have been a mistake, but I actually believed him when he went into his tale about Yennifer and how he and his buds were looking out for her. As for enabling the war with Niflgaard... that's politics for you. I don't really blame him for that. Yet. Is possible that will change, too.

It's actually kinda unethical to kill Letho
He was kind enough to waitfor you just to answer whatever questions you have. And he clearely stated that he was not there to fight
He took care of Yennefer for you and even Triss if you chose to abandon her.
He was good with children LOL


And Sile? spared her for 2 reason
War with nilf empire is coming up we need all the manpower we have
I didnt want her meat piece splashed on me
It felt wrong not save a woman. I would rather kill her by my hands which is what i would enjoy doing next time she schemes against me

But yeah, i let her pop the once too and second to see if i can just remove the diamond when she NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Anyway, come on people
Letting her pop just like that is no fun and tasteless. And furthermore, it was too easy for someone that vile. she deserves worse than just a painless death in less than a second like that.

If it's Eilhart then maybe i would let Ioverth kill her.
With her eye blind, she would become too mucha berserker

I saved her because I didn't know I could do otherwise. Just assumed I had to because she kept screaming after 10 seconds. I'm impatient, it seems.

Letho, I let him live. Hardest decision in the entire game. I realized that more blood shed on that day would make it only more brutal, and I trust his word for some reason. I don't expect to see him again, at least as an enemy.
