      Skellige is about the only land where people generally don't give you shit for being a witcher, and you can actually take the lot of them at face value. They also often show unalloyed gratitude for the favors you do them, and they turn around and pay you back. Hell, during the final battle, the Empire fucked up trying to fight the Wild Hunt, and the Skelligers barged in to finish the job. Their entrance consists of _running over_ some Wild Hunt infantry about to grab Ciri. For that matter, the Skelligers are also the only people who take you seriously when you mention the Wild Hunt. So yeah, it's not hard to see why people like the Skelligers. They're harsh and violent, but you know where you stand with most of 'em and they actually _do_ shit instead of sitting aside like roadkill while you do all of the work.

    What's with all the hjalmar hate? He's a badass, when you ask queen Cerys to help you fight the hunt, she sends her brother. King hjalmar comes alone with no army. In my ending (spoilers) hjalmar continues to battle the redanians because they burn herbalists and non humans and are opressive.

      +pearthicorn I do agree. Hjalmar is dumb as a fucking boot, but he is loyal as fuck. Even when he is king, he still finds time to sail to the continent and ride to Kaer Morhen to fight a bunch of skeletal motherfuckers. And he is there fighting at the final battle with the Wild Hunt. He is the man.
      But still, i prefer siding with Cerys for the sake of destroying the original danger to the clan and seeing that bitch Birna tied to a rock and being let sirens eat her.

      What's with all the hjalmar hate? He's a badass, when you ask queen Cerys to help you fight the hunt, she sends her brother. King hjalmar comes alone with no army. In my ending (spoilers) hjalmar continues to battle the redanians because they burn herbalists and non humans and are opressive. Cerys may be more logical and more peaceful, but Hjalmar is a man of action and super loyal to Geralt

If Skellige is to have any future, they need to change, they need someone like Cerys, because Skellige as a nation is very stagnant, they act like primitive savages while the rest of the world is advancing, evolving. As in real life, change is essential, otherwise you are doomed towither and die. Picture this, years in the future, Nilfgaard, the North and South has cannons and guns while Skelligers are running with stick and stones. They would get utterly destroyed and an entire culture would be wiped frome existence. In real life, the Norse/Vikings stopped raiding and became a part of the global society, advancing culturally as much as technologically.

    Holgar's guttural scream when the other guy tells him his son is dead is just so heart-wrenchingly painful and realistic. Everybody reacts to grief differently of course, but even though I am not a parent (at least not yet) I would probably scream and cry too if my son/daughter died in front of me. That's got to be one of the most painful things to experience, imo, the loss of a child. The loss of a young child is especially painful, but even the loss of an adult son or daughter is probably excruciating. To quote Hawke's mother from Dragon Age 2, "18 years of loving and feeding and raising and... that was it." I know everybody thinks Leandra was a horrible mother and maybe she kinda is, but that line hit me hard the first time I heard it and it still sticks with me. It's so true. Like I said, I'm not a parent and I certainly don't know what it's really like to lose a child but I had a classmate that died in a traffic accident after we both graduated and to this day I cannot imagine the pain his parents must have suffered and likely still suffer. I just pray that it somehow eases.

    This honestly feels like a joke ending, put in by developers just to have another choice. It's very uncharacteristic of Witcher 3 Geralt to help Hjalmar, for even though he's honourbound, he's intelligent, observant and calculating as well. For such a Geralt, helping Cerys is the only obvious choice, for both she and Hjalmar ultimately want revenge, yet when he seeks to spill blood with reckless abandon, his sister aims at the heart of the conspiracy - the true villains and traitors.
    And even if you play a less honourable Geralt, he'd rather not get involved than help, too. No matter who you play as, no Geralt would help Hjalmar.

    Making Svanrige king is the far better option of the three if you consider the future of Skellige, since he in the end unites the islands under one absolute rule, instead of fucking democracy like Cerys and Hjalmar rules with. Not saying Cerys and Hjalmar are bad, infact I chose Hjalmar in my first ever playthrough as his character was just more interesting than Cerys, not to mention he has the courage to do whatever it takes to achieve a goal for the greater good, a trait Cerys lacks. And yes Cerys also seems like the best choice too as you get to find out the truth about the whole tragic disaster in Kaer Trolde, but she, like Hjalmar rules the Isles in the old ways of the Skelligers, i.e one King/Queen who makes important decisitions every now and then, but then the Jarls just keep ruling over their own territory as they see fit, usually squabbling with other Jarls to gain more territory, power and influence.
    So yes, Svanrige being king is a bitter sweet result as Birna gets away with her actions, but it ultimately leads to a united Kingdom of The Skellige Isles making them a strong force to be reckoned with that neither the Northern realms nor Nilfgaard would probably have the strength required to make a successful invasion.

I guess a shorter cut kinda suits the Feline motif of speed and being light on your feet. I might try it. To be honest, It's actually one of the better hair styles for Geralt in this game, the other 2 being shaved sides with ponytail, and the default one. The others are just....meh. Wish we got more styles to choose, maybe shorter haircuts and maybe a buzz cut? I personally would have liked something similar to Olgierd's hair cut.

    I usually pick Cerys because I want to get access to that place of power, but Hjalmar made the most sense to become king. Not because he's any good at it, but because he gives the people what they want. I know in the epilogue Cerys focuses on economic concerns, but how does trading between isles help when so much of the Skelligan economy is built on piracy? "The sea provides" after all. Scandinavia got away from the Viking lifestyle when Christian missionaries replaced their old religions. What's the Witcher equivalent? The Church of the Eternal Fire comes to Skellige? And that's still trade with the continent, which is not what is said in the epilogue.

    Hjalmar is so annoyingly impulsive. My first playthrough i chose his sister, im on my second and im trying to try out different outcomes but theres no way id choose this path.

    I guess I'm in the minority, but I have a hard time not choosing Hjalmar as king, as I want Nillfgaard to be defeated more than almost anything, and as Hjalmar is the one who takes the fight to them I find it hard to resist bringing them directly into the war.

      Late to the party but I think you forgot how after Cerys becomes queen, Hjalmar keeps taking longships out to war against Nilfgaard and always loses 💀 or how he got nearly his entire squad killed on the way to the Giant. My guy is a total bro but dumb as rocks, neither king nor general material.

    Cerys, to me, remains the only good option and I can never bring myself to choose Hjalmar over her. Any ruler that proudly states her goals are to "listen, learn, and listen again" and puts her people above any need for glory, is a damn fine ruler and would do her country a world of good. Hjalmar is just too hotheaded and careless.

    Here's a pop question, if Hjalmar become the king could Ceris help later in Kaer Morhen fight to defend against wild hunt?
    I finished this game about 8 or 9 times maybe and never choose Hjalmar as king tho...

      Wisnu Zainesta nope Cerys doesn’t go regardless of who rules in skellige while hjalmar will go with you regardless. That’s the reason I love hjalmar and what I hold against Cerys

      @@allyfazio9684 Cerys is right though. The queen leaving Skellige when it's in the middle of a civil war is just a bad idea. Hjalmar coming himself shows how loyal he is, but it also kinda proves that he's really not fit to be King in my mind. He's not a leader. He's a warrior.

    For all of people that choose hjalmar because cerys won't go to kaer morhen, think about this, if geralt had saved foltest in the witcher 2, do you think geralt can just "hey foltest, I saved your ass back then, now let's go to kaer morhen and we're even". With the tension between nilfgaard and north kingdoms, do you think foltest will agree?

    I picked Cerys, by accident at first but then I was glad I did. Hjalmar was too hot-tempered, too ready to start a fight, and refused to think beyond, "I have a weapon and I know how to use it!" I liked him and yes, he has a good heart, but a good leader needs to think before acting. He never found who was responsible for the berserker attack, which left the land wide open for more attacks and greater division. While Cerys may not have found the berserker lair, she did find the actual threat and not only ensured that justice was done, she saved the Skellige way of life, too. Being elected as the first female ruler certainly rocked the boat, but the jarls voted her in, and they had to admire the courage, determination, and ambition she showed to even enter the running.
    No regrets.

      Yeah, Cerys is my preferred choice as well, I even wish there was a romance option :P But then perhaps we had to play as another character

      No because I didn't even know doing this quest would lead to either cerys or hjalmar being king/queen
