5 More Choices Geralt Would NEVER Make | Witcher 3

[@bautistalasheras3410]

I sometimes think a top 10 witcher characters video from you would be fun until I realize it would be so obvious that John Verdun would top the list so there´s no real mystery.

[@GMP1isReal]

Correction, John would top "best characters of all time" it's that obvious and a waste of time to reiterate.

I saved that dude, then I kill it with all his gang once I discovered he was just a thief and assassin

[@andresacostacastro3637]

The werewolf of Velen has a bug, the werewolf regenerates at light speed if you don't kill him fast 😅

[@Necfreon]

@@andresacostacastro3637 what the hell kind of glitched monstrosity of a save are you playing you telling me that there’s a creature that heals faster then the shovel guy in hearts and stone

[@todddouglas7231]

It brings me joy that despite I haven’t yet read any of the books, I made all of these Lore-Accurate choices in the game. I felt like the writers did a phenomenal job establishing just what kind of man Geralt is through his dialogue mannerisms and tidbits of backstory in the Witcher 3. This was enough for me to be confident in making these choices for him in game

[@genoshalibre810]

What do you waiting for? Do it. If you wanna know more about Geralt and his friends, do it (Regis, Cahir, Melva, Dandelion, Angoulême, Cratch) more context about others characters like Yennefer, the best villain in the Witcher, Vigelforzt.

[@Necfreon]

@@genoshalibre810huh vigelfortz sounds like someone with a hard on for defensive sieges or something

[@clayheinzerling1852]

[@Teapode]

Correct, cows are also harmeless, but Gerald killed thousands of those 😁

[@QualityPen]

[@OneLastScholar]

Kill the Novigrad one, that one actually deserves it.

[@randomdudewhosonline]

Same here

[@CasabianN-xr5sc]

Yeah, you simply kill the ones that had a string of murders attached to her name with a method that can only happen during sex.

[@QueenPersephone520]

12:59 This quest pissed me off because both end choices are to kill Niellen, even though he tells Mizlav in White Orchard that he can help with lycanthropy and Niellen didn't kill Hannah on purpose. It irks me that there wasn’t even an option to help the guy who was a victim to his condition, one that he tried and failed to cure on his own.

[@bradleybourgeois4710]

While I do agree that it is a shame you can't free the Niellen from his lycanthropy, I do think the option where he follows Geralt to be killed to make sense. The poor werewolf just found that he killed his beloved wife by his own hands, accident or not, thanks to his sister-in-law being jealous of his relationship with his wife. Also, Margret said that he wouldn't stop until the one reponsible for his wife's death was punished and as the one who killed her must be killed in recompense. Besides, if I'm correct Niellen doesn't remember the details of transformations and would forget about the truth that was revealed to him during the quest, so that only adds more motive to put gasoline on his pyre to ensure that he is killed for his crimes.

[@nevinwhite2371]

I came to this video to hear that argument

[@TheKermit11]

I think, that geralt knew, that guy just wanted to die, after learning that he killed his own wife.

[@ktvindicare]

Nielen wanted to die at that point because of how guilty he felt. Nielen basically commits suicide by Geralt's hand. Geralt would probably feel terrible about it, but he would understand.

[@1CE.]

Fr Ultimately with the choices you’re given I think letting him kill the sister and then killing him is the right one Would be kinda outta character to let a woman like that off the hook

[@theogy576]

I once went through the game selecting only the top dialogue option. All the decisions made sense.

[@OneLastScholar]

Which in the case of the Novigrad succubus in 4:40, means killing her. I disagree with Neon here, that one is guilty as fuck. Guards, medics and the notice board all say guards were killed "in recent days" and that it is a "string of murders", heavily implying the deaths didn't happen all at once but over the course of some time.

[@OneLastScholar]

Yet the succubus only claims she "does not lie" and "does not kill without reason" and that it was "to defend herself". Makes no sense why she would expose herself to life-threatening situations every day, so either it happened all at once (unlikely, given all other evidence) or she is lying.

[@manuelmadoery8737]

​​@@OneLastScholar Yes, but remeber that quest happens in Novigrad, which is so deep into the Eternal Fire Cult that is able to blame, lie, torture or/and kill beings that posses any little drop of magic in their body, a Succubus who killed a man in self defense is the most forgivable of crimes in a city where deaths can be (and will be) lied about who and when happened. Not impossible to find a Psychotic Succubus, but is kind of convenient the situation is.

[@AstralAnubes]

@@OneLastScholarYea it was very clear that she was evil and it wasn’t for “self defense”

[@charlespc]

Cool fact I've done a lot of times. In Nielien's quest, if you accept the money but keep investigating, you'll get more rewards and Geralt will say: "I've changed my mind" went confronting the sister in the werewolf's cave.

[@SuperFlik]

In regards to Wild At Heart and Geralt's super-human hearing, I really wish there would have been a way for CDPR to have incorporated using Witcher senses during cutscenes for stuff like the sister's dialogue

Shit, even I knew something fishy was up when I first spoke to him.

[@MatthewMaddox-ss3zp]

@@DiddyCanFly I kinda felt the same way, but man really putting Geralt's ability to sense when someone is lying into context. Makes it seem like Geralt probably only gave the guy the benefit of the doubt before calling him out.

[@DiddyCanFly]

@@MatthewMaddox-ss3zp which makes sense. Geralt is the type of guy who wouldn’t throw around accusations without evidence as well as dismiss the guy when there is still a sliver of truth and the man genuinely needed his help.

"he is not like other gir... i mean like other men" cracked me up so hard also, would love a video on the witcher comics! I have no intention to read them, but I'm kinda interested in the stories

[@egeozdemir5094]

Although I’m not really a comic person (I may have read about 5 comics (at max) in my life), I enthusiastically read the Witcher comics because I love this universe so much, and I really, really enjoyed them. I couldn’t keep myself from reading the next one immediately after, in fact. They’re truly like some side quests that turn out to have really good stories that we all enjoyed. I highly recommend reading them, you won’t regret it.

[@Nai-qk4vp]

​@@egeozdemir5094Which ones?

[@egeozdemir5094]

@@Nai-qk4vp Well, I enjoyed all of them, but I’d say "Fox Children" is my favorite, followed by "House of Glass". “Of Flesh and Flame” was really good and kinda fun too, but "Fox Children" truly stuck with me. "Fading Memories" was also excellent, focusing more on the deeper aspects of The Witcher universe. I haven’t read "Witch’s Lament" and "Once Upon a Time in the Woods" yet, but I have high hopes for "Witch’s Lament" because of its name, I love the darker aspects of this universe

[@QuillASMR]

The Wild at Heart quest is one of the most interesting outcomes for me. On one hand, you could argue that Geralt would kill Niellen because he's a werewolf threatening to kill a human woman. However, every time I play through this quest, I'm always reminded of one of my favourite scenes of the entire Witcher series, specifically with first Witcher game's final boss and a very important quote from The Grand Master as Geralt towers over him with a silver sword: "That sword...is for monsters!" This is very telling of Geralt's character that we obviously know well enough at this point. And as you mentioned in regards to that specific trailer, that our Witcher is fully aware that humans can also be monsters and won't hesitate in slicing a few heads (also reminiscent of the quest with that Witcher from the Feline school in which Geralt lets the guy walk away) And exactly why I always allow Neillan to kill the sister. Because I find the end result to be a lot more interesting. I was surprised to say the least. If you do consider discussing this in a seperate video, the final scene from the first witcher game might be worth mentioning. Wonderful vid!

[@NoForksGiven]

Being Geralt must be very exhausting when he has a main quest to do. He can't walk away from evil being commited if he runs into it but sometimes they're really are more important things to do. Yen at the start tells him not to be a hero and focus on finding Ciri but there's tons of quests and stuff to do in White Orchid alone

[@Mephilis78]

6:08 this armor is also a choice Geralt would never make

[@brandonhelcher3691]

I remember loading an earlier save on the last one because i didn't want the werewolf to die. He had things under control untill the sister interfered. Though yeah if the player can easily pick up on the sister being a liar, no way Geralt couldn't. Interestingly when I went back you can ask a villager about them. He mentions the sister being killed by a wolf and the guy leaving the village. Seems he found out the truth eventually.

[@FARTATytb]

Just came to the comments to show appreciation. Your videos are great and as a witcher a fan its always a pleasure seeing content centered towards the games that's actually good and orginal. Been a fan sice day one, keep up the good work 💯💯

[@Mohsen-fm]

Great video! We need one about the skellige troll wham-a-wham that kills the miners. That one was always a dilemma for me.

[@kasra9439]

Fun fact. you can accept the sisters bribe at wild at heart and still continue the quest normally, doing this you’ll end up getting a couple extra crowns from the quest, also the added benefit of duping the sister out of a bit of crowns.

[@ixelhaine]

Those encounters where you kill 2-5 people to save one really got to me my first playthrough because it seemed like a numbers game, but subsequent playthroughs they made more sense that Geralt will always defend the defenseless. Killing monsters - even Human ones - to save an innocent person is just his way. I'd say that one of if not the only one I still question is the one were 3 Elves are going to kill the drug dealer who's been selling tainted fistec. That's probably the only time I let the mob kill the guy.

[@frankvermeulen4621]

Can't argue with any of those. Just a shame I never get the Succubus decoction that way. I was going to mention the choice about a certain Doppler in Novigrad, but now I think you already discussed that one in another video? I can't remember...

[@aldrichunfaithful3589]

i'll happily start the debate on the wild at heart final choice if neon won't lol. it's one of my favourite side quests mainly for that, i think it does a great job of showing the difference between geralt's moral compass and a typical adventurer. the woman is awful and the hunter is a good guy, so naturally a lot of people will think leaving him to kill her and not killing him is the moral thing to do. and that might be true, but im 100% sure geralt doesn't do that, because two defining characteristics of geralt are that he will almost never decide someone deserves to die, and he cares a lot about his responsibility to deal with potentially harmful monsters. it's important to note that she didn't deliberately kill her sister, she just wanted to steal her husband which is cruel but not anywhere near bad enough to deserve death, and doesn't suggest that she could hurt anyone again. and more importantly the hunter proved beyond a doubt that if he ever changes at a bad time, or if someone wanders too close to his hideout, he will attack anyone he sees. so you have a woman geralt would never think deserves to die, and a werewolf who's proven to be extremely dangerous to humans threatening to murder her right in front of him. in that scenario i don't ever see geralt walking out, he'd not even consider the idea of letting her die, and it's his job to kill the werewolf. and in the end she got what she deserved by losing the man she accidentally killed her sister for, which i thought was fitting

[@oliver.n278]

Interesting look on this quest, and I must admit I agree!

[@stanimir4197]

to expand the point; the hunter has a diary explaining he had tried all possible cure options to no avail. From Witcher 1 it's made clear true love could cure lycanthropy. So that part didn't materialize. Killing the werewolf is the most likely outcome.

[@HEKVT]

A video on the comics would be great, I had no idea they existed.

[@RPG_Kyle]

[@coelhovii2716]

I love "Wild at Heart" because I made a lot of friends start playing witcher 3 BECAUSE of this quest. I always killed the werewolf not because I thing he is wrong in killing the sister, but because I want that b*tch to live the rest of her life knowing she is the reason her sister AND lover died. My friend didn't agree and gave a good argument: the man deserves at least revenge on the scummy sister that tried break-up their marriage. And since he offers himself to be killed just shows he really lost everything. Personally I don't know what Geralt would choose but I think letting the sister live with the guilt is far more satisfying for me.
