Great video. Man, you got me thinking with that question. It's almost like a challenge. I don't know if my answer is a valid one but i would say that the thing that TW2 does better that the others is Flotsam, that place to me is the most deep, interconnected, cohesive and alive area in all three games

If he had just killed those that attacked fair enough but he didn't he wiped out the villagers so sorry clear cut decision he needed to be stopped

Personally, I think what makes this game better than the others in the franchise is its main story. I liked the politics and depth this game brought.

I think the thing with Witcher 2 is that it plants the seeds for a lot of the things that you really like in Witcher 3. That said I agree with your lack of shining that Witcher 2 has unless you really like the political intrigue. My favorite song from all three soundtracks is in virgin but it's on the other side. I'd suggest playing it again but go the other path and see what happens.

You have a great storytelling voice! Good job on the editing, especially the use of in-game dialogue in between your own voice. Makes the video feel alive and immerses me into the game. Respectable that you don't fanboy over the Witcher as a whole and give your honest opinion, downsides included.

He clearly implied that he has done that before so i killed him

Why gaetan not use axii

I would’ve let him live without hesitation if he simply killed the people trying to him but the women… also the little girl is that the only child in that village I highly doubt it his definitely guilty he wouldn’t even beat this in the modern Court system his a murderer simple as that

I think this is what happen. 1. gaetan come to the village for a contract 2. the elder and gaetan agreed for a certain price 3. gaetan kill the beast (very high chance wounded in the process) 4. gaetan comeback and ask the reward 5. gaetan see this elder have a nice room, probably have much wealth for himself, so gaetan ask for more 6. this shocked the elder, and probably make the elder angry, so they ended up yell and curse at each other 7. gaetan (probably wounded) tell the elder that he will wait in the barn for more crown he ask, gaetan also needed time and place to heal his wound 8. while gaetan in the barn, the elder and a few man think they can take on a wounded witcher, thinking it would not be to much of a hassle because of the wound 9. the elder came to the barn with a few man, but no, they cant kill the wounded witcher, instead, what they are doing is only enraging the wounded witcher 10. blinded by his rage, gaetan kill all the villager, all, except this one girl, who reminded him of his little sister 11. not long after, geralt came this this village

I spare him every time.

Can totally relate and respect that you've figured out what works and doesn't and that you're planning on doing what you want to do...its the only way (IMO) to enjoy making content. Looking forward to what you've got next!

hos was good i actually like it better than baw. baw was actually kind of short and bland just another story of a vindictive woman

I killed him my first play through because I didn’t understand the lore. Second time I spared him because people suck in real life as much as they do in Velen.

Keep going! Your videos are great and I'm happy to watch each and every one of them

Cool insight, 😎 thx.

I think its such a brilliant retelling of the snow white and Popiel's legend mixed together. The daughter of a nobleman drinks the poison that makes her die, but it's not a poisoned apple given by an evil witch but a sleeping agent given by a morally questionable mage. And instead of a prince coming to save her with the true love's kiss, it's a depressed peasant. And as the peasant kisses his undead lover, they reunite, but not as a happy bride and groom, but instead they reunite in death. I love thid quest.

Geralt goes into a murderous rage surprisingly often in the books. F.e. when fighting Shirru in ToS, or the raiders next to the huts struck by plague in BoF.

Well I enjoy your commentary on the older games. I hope people try the original Witcher 1 because it has a certain charm to it. That the other games don't have. I need to do blood and wine again. But I also am enjoying sim racing and cyberpunk as well. I just had my cousin message me about Witcher 2 actually. And he's like yeah combat is really hard. 🤣 But you do what you gotta do! I'm enjoying it so far!

If you let her live. You can go back to the village later. There's some ambient dialogue that she essentially left the entire town after the werewolf was killed.

You should continue to do more book reviews, I’m on the lady of the lake right now and I’d love to hear your opinion on all the books

"Evidence is there to suggest that some people do enjoy my content." You're goddamn right mate! Honestly dude with whatever you're thinking of doing in terms of making videos, making changes to content, etc, I'll still be here as a supportive fan and others will be as well. Just keep on doing what you're doing and continue to improve on your skills as a content creator. Also, videos on different games definitely doesn't sound like a bad idea as being an avid fan of the Witcher I can get burnt out just consuming Witcher content on the daily. Also it gives us fans more topics to discuss about in the comments.

Honestly for me personally this quest is pretty ok. There just isn't much going for me other than the moral ambiguity of deciding to kill the werewolf or not. Even then you feel restricted over the outcome of the quest and it's pretty short in length. I think as well trying to pick a favourite side quest would be difficult for me, it's like trying to pick a favourite food haha. If it came to it, I think it would come down to a side quest from either Skellige or Toussaint. Anyways keep the videos coming man, I'm loving it!

Really loved this. Subscribed

You earned yourself a subscription, hope you prosper on your path.

Nice to discover yet another Witcher channel! You've definitely earned another subscriber :) Really enjoyed this video, keep it up! I love this quest, but you're right that Niellen's writing is very inconsistent.

The life of a witch is really bad. I sympathize with him. What he said was due to loss of control. I felt it was true because after he calmed down, he forgave the girl. And he also knows about the confessional memorial circle. .It's strange that after forgiving him, I received the place where he kept his treasure. Did he plunder so much that he had so much wealth? I hate quests like this

He lives for me. as they always say in Velen, "A word once given, cannot be broken."

Heh, beside entertaing us all, Mr Sapkowski fights functional illiteracy in USA! 😎 Regards from Warsaw😊🇵🇱

I spared him Withcer is the butcher of Blaviken for a reason

Geralt is knows as the butcher of blaviken, so geralt choosing who is worthy of dying due to a massacre isnt really morally justified

i spared him, felt right

Ciri claps Gaunter anyday

new fan here of the witcher, i love stories like this, Geralt is Giving Adam Jensen a run for his money on favorite character hahah

i couldnt judge him, humans are worse than monsters sometimes.

I hear a lot of arguments in favor of sparing gaetan like: -'but he is a witcher and witchers are rare' -'but the villagers cheated on him' -'but gaetan did kill monsters to save peoples lives' The thing is sparing him would only make sense if gaetan had only killed the people inside the barn, but no he simply had to go all the way to every house which are more than a few meters apart to slaughter every inhabitant and if there was not a little girl that has the looks of his sister, than yeah he is in high risk in killing children as well. So no Gaetan needs to be put down, the risks are simply too great in my book.

Great breakdown! I dont remember the specifics of the combat but i do remember specifically at the end of the game choosing not to fight Letho but not because that was the choice i wanted to make. I just didnt wanna deal with more Witcher 2 combat! So yeah I remember not liking it. And I definitely picked Roche for almost the exact same reasons as you but also I think the voice actor is very charismatic and commanding and made me wanna like Roche. But damn, this video really makes me antsy to play this game again!

I´ve never played the Witcher games. Even in the PS3 era. I´ve seen the 1st game on Steam for 7,99€. I might buy it.

Awesome video! Makes me really wanna go back to the Witcher 2, especially the stuff about the music. You nailed it on how dense the story is in this opening act. When I played it, I had played the first game but that game was WAY less heavy on using book terminology and having information about the various nations. So I still felt like I was thrown in the deep end in Witcher 2. Consequently, I don't think I enjoyed the story as much as I probably would now. So I'm looking forward to playing it again and watching the rest of your thoughts on it! (I know there's another video that just came out, gotta check it out!)

Really interesting points 🙂 I agree with most of what you said. Iorweth is definitely cool and interesting character that I would chose on my second playthrough just to see his path but Roche is clearly the more based and correct decision 😉

I'm glad my comment made it to your video. What's weird is chapter 2 I feel The combat isn't as bad. Maybe you get better. I don't know for sure. But since you're grouped up on all the time it makes it really hard to do. One of my personal gripes but I know it's trying to be immersive is the map. Especially in chapter 1 because like you said everything looks the same it's so hard finding things. Especially the contracts. As for the music. I always have loved the shadows and conspiracies track which is like the stealth music you heard during like conference and such. I do like the bar music which is in chapter 1 and on the iorverth side in chapter 2. I do think one thing chapter 1 gets right is this kind of fantasy world type place that flotsam is almost at the edge of the known world in a weird way.

Funnily enough I recently finished Witcher 2 and had the same thoughts as you in regards to many aspects. Particularly with repetitiveness as you're walking along the same paths many times, with side quests compounding it further. One thing I absolutely hated though, which you didn't mention, were the invisible walls around the forest. Instead of being able to walk through virtually everywhere (Witcher 3) there are many invisible boundaries which ruins the environment for me personally. I also ended up picking Roche as he is the character I wanted to explore first when I first played the game as I remember seeing him in Witcher 3 and thinking he was an extremely cool character. Also I'm a sucker for lore, so I wanted to learn more about Temeria. The stuff you said about the ambience I also totally agree with. The music and noises felt very C tier and just overall pretty generic. Whereas in Witcher 3 the music excels in immersing you in the area you're located. Particularly Skellige as the music uses tones reminiscent of medieval Highlanders or Vikings. Anyways that's all I got to say, another awesome video as always. Keep it up!!
