Thanks OP.

With that simple name you triggered some repressed memories and convinced me to take Witcher off my backlog.

never liked sigi

I broke his foot (again)

Hello
It was annoying though, I wanted to kill Roche by myself

>>383228767
Still can't forgive those retarded slavs for absolutely this based character
>Congrats gentleman I have a very long history with, we just killed the king
>To celebrate, I will kill you all because hack writers need a way to create drama
>But not you Geralt, you can go if you like :^)
Embarrassing.

>>383233017
The ending says he was actually a really good ruler and industrialized the North (or Novigrad, can't remember) in a nilfgaardian way.

The actual scene was pretty dumb though. I liked but Roche and Dijkstra but I chose the spy over partisan.

>>383233017
they absolutely his entire character

I wish his questline had a different ending to it. Its one of the best in the game up until the end when he goes full fucking retard out of nowhere and basically leaves you no choice

>>383233017

First playthrough I ended up killing Sigi at that one point. Felt bad about it. He's a bro. Sort of.

Second playthrough Dijkstra all the way.

do you mind explaining how exactly? have you used it?

I would use it but I just finished a playthrough and I'm pretty burned out

>>383236991
What the mod does:
-It changes dialogue of what Geralt, Roche, Thaler and Dijkstra says [orginal voices are muted]
-It changes also journal descriptions Vernon, Ves, Thaler, Dijkstra, Filippa, quest description

I sided with Redania

The ending of this quest was really retarded and makes no sense when you think about it.

>>383237103
Even Roche is not on Temeria's side in this game and I fucking hate it.

>Slightly less conquered Temeria
Great job, Roche!

Why the fuck didn't Roche try to replace Radovid with someone like Natalis, Adda or Anais? And then still win the war?

>>383238079
What the fuck did happen to Anais? and adda for that matter if you kept her alive

[push Djikstra forcefully]

>>383238240
Nothing because some parts of this game or just blatantly unfinished. Should have spent less time adding treasures in Skellige waters and turning Radovid into Hitler and more on actually finishing Witcher 1 and 2 plots.

>>383238240
Princess Adda is dead by default, mysteriously enough.

>>383230448
>not siding with B-Ford

>>383238383
now that I think about it, Geralt and Bigby are pretty similar. I think they'd get along well

>>383238383
>This one options fucks over all of redania

>>383238240
I hated that too. Honestly the reason why I sided with Radovid at all is because I saved Adda and gave him Anais and I cant just suddenly turn against him.

>>383238434
A huge reason why I dont actually like open world games, it distracts the writers from the story. Keeping Radovid more align with his earlier appearances with the status of Adda and Anais playing a role should have been a factor.

Same with Siegfried while they are at it.

>Hey Geralt, wanna kill your friends and side with a fat fucker?
Why is this choice even in the game?

>>383233017
>wow Geralt you made a big mistake
>do you really think you, a Witcher that has been fighting dangerous monster for decades and Roche, a battle-hardy rebel used to kill can defeat me?
>Me? A handicapped spymaster together with my bunch of poorly trained soldiers?
>big mistake indeed

>>383239145
Generally the fact that Loc Muinne has next to no impact on W3 is very dissapointing to me.

It was clearly meant to be a hugely important political even that also involved mages, similarly to Thanedd Island from the books.

But in the end what happened to Anais or what happened with the Conclave of Mages has next to no consequence.

Roche was a real nigga and went to Kaer Morhen to help you out when you needed it, while Dijkstra at the best gave a paltry amount of coin that helps in no way whatsoever. Straight up axii'd that motherfucker and did golf swings like I was at the driving range.

>>383238383

>>383238924

This quest was retarded.

>>383239578
The quest was good. The ending was stupid

>>383239408
>This route does not lead to you fucking phil
Still disappointed

Killed Roche for betraying Temeria and Natalis. The guy nearly died repelling Nilfgaard and you try to hand it right over. For shame.

>>383239408
Fuck that was cruel. It really made me sad

The most out of character scene in the game. You could tell they used their B-team writers for that one.

But yeah, siding with Dijikstra is the better choice for The North. The Nilfgaardians are repulsed and Redania is rapidly industrialized and becomes a force that can compete with Nilfgaard in the long run. As for the other realms like Temeria, i really doubt he could keep them occupied. Even with Roche dead, someone would step in his place and rebel groups would still be a pain in the ass. Dijkstra would need to give in to the pressure and at the very least make the other provinces puppets, if not giving them full independence.

And let him murder Roche and Ves?

Nope.

Everytime

>>383241739
First ending I got was that she's a witcher, but I feel like as a character she just doesn't undergo any development. At least as empress she accepts responsibility and is finally growing up.

>>383242397
She as an empress is the best ending.
Don't expect NEET autistic manchildren on /v/ to understand anything about accepting your responsabilities and growing up though.

>>383242460
Her dad wants to fuck her to make an heir. You should probably keep her as far away from him as possible to be frank.

>>383242501
Yeah because she clearly cannot defend herself.

>>383242571
Underestimating the enemy is the worst mistake. Especially someone like Emyhr. It's a real concern, to be honest for the first few weeks of Witcher discussion it was probably the hottest topic.

>>383242501
That was in the books. And as far as I understood the ending, he just isn't able to do that to her in the end and gives up on this. He is a douche though, I'll give you that.

>>383234503
>he goes full fucking retard out of nowhere
He does that in the books too.

>>383242698
Yes, best ending is her being capable of making a change instead of wasting her life at a shitty job.

>>383233017
Honestly, its not surprising in the least and I would have left him alive but the Termerians were top-tier bros and I couldnt let that slide.

>>383242698
You've got a point. But to think that Emhyr won't eventually find out about a grey haired witcheress is just as dangerous - for Ciri and for her friends.

I decapitated him.

>could've poisoned the wine to kill off Roche and Thaler, but leaves Geralt alive thanks to his ability to handle toxicity
>Geralt left alive to judge whether or not it's better to leave the big CIA man alive or kill him for being a treacherous fuck

honestly i think CDred just wanted to let people give Roche a happy end. A happy end as a puppet state of Nilfgaard.

>>383242742
It opened up pretty interesting discussion. With the two camps setting up between people who read the books and suspected incoming incest and having a laugh and people who like Emyhr because he was voiced by Charles Dance.

You say this after playing three games where a random Witcher has caused entire nations to change, and Geralt doesn't even have a percent of Ciri's power.

>>383243981
Making a change because he kept doing things that no witcher should ever do.
Being a witcher is taking shitty contracts one after another and not messing with kings or mages.

Right here. Roche, unironically, is a traitor, and a giant hypocite

>MUH TEMERIA

Roche was an impulsive idiot in W2 already (remember the ambush in the rose garden?), and he just went completely mad in W3. He seriously thinks that Temeria would retain it's """""free""""" status under NG rule for long, while NG already swallowed up every single smaller state like this before.

I did not hate Roche, but he was an absolute idiot.

I still reckon that the Nilfgaard takeover ending is the best, it mentions how everything has basically returned to normal and they just moved on.

>>383239316
I think it does have something to do with the move to open world but it's probably more on the fact that they tried to create a game that would attract a larger audience who knew nothing and for the most part didn't care about learning the story so far.

This makes it easier for the player to side with Dijkstra. You understand his motivations, you understand what's in it for you and you are no longer directly involved in the death of the temerians (Because fuck you, backing off while thugs surround your friends is stupid and very few players would do that)

There you go, I fucking fixed it. Or are you gonna tell me this is worst than what CDPR came out with?
Was it really that hard, CDPR?

>Relies on witcher neutrality
>Points out that Geralt claiming he's supposed to be neutral is a load of bollocks not one quest earlier

Shameful

>>383248907
You understand that everything near the end of the game was rushed and they couldnt do elaborate endings for every quest line.
Ofc they had better plans, implementing them takes time, optimizing then takes time, bug fixes take more time. You just got to cut your losses and wrap up things unsatisfyingly because its better than than delaying the game.

Honestly it's amazing how likeable/fun of a character Radovid was despite CDPR doing everything they could to make him Hitler (including my personal favorite, trying to kill Geralt for literally no reason). If there was an ending with him alive that wasn't obviously supposed to be a "bad end' I might not have killed him.

>>383244959
