[@sarunasg3846]

Say what you want about Letho, but he let Foltest to see his children in peace before he was killed

[@RustCohle072]

+Several Snakes He's not that bad. He was hired by Emhyr and was promised that the viper school would live on. Also he would have been killed or forced to comply possibly through torture if he refused initially. Considering that, a lot of us would do the same in his position. His witcher school is nearly all he's known his life

[@RustCohle072]

+Several Snakes Yeah he's certainly done enough to deserve death. In reality i think Geralt's reasoning behind sparing him would be thinking he'd be useful later, and recognising that Emhyr was more to blame. If the battle of kaer morhen were real, Letho would wreck loads of the Hunts minions. I say if it were real because you don't see him do much in the battle from memory.

[@alianknight517]

Letho reminds me of the Hound in Game Of Thrones. He'd kill anyone without remorse because he sees the world differently. While the hound couldn't harm Sansa because she's pure and innocent. Letho wouldn't harm children or his friends. He doesn't give two shits about strangers.

[@sean6793]

That was more or less to prevent Geralt from following him. Without the children there are zero witnesses so Geralt just gets handed the guilt straight off the bat while he escapes

[@rageatm4life]

[@marlonekstrom3158]

Yes

[@mytchyl]

In the end I didn't even feel like killing Letho in the Witcher 2. With the state of the north, Foltest was bound for death anyway. He was my favorite king, but Letho didn't kill him out of hatred or for revenge. He's a witcher after all, devoid of emotion. He did it because it was his job, and if he didn't someone else would've taken his place.

[@mytchyl]

There's no such thing as a free kingdom under Nilfgaard. Maecht, Toussaint, Metinna. All are just puppet states. I'm sure I'm not the only one slightly dissatisfied at the 'best' ending due to this, but the alternatives weren't great either.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

Haljordan4life temeria? free? under slave owning, non-human pogrom making, mage trampling nilfgaard?

[@guyr3618]

Letho can't use the excuse of "I was just being a witcher". Witchers are, by definition, NOT assassins. They don't kill sentient beings for money. Foltest's death and Demavend's death are both on Letho's head, AND on Emhyr's head. And given that those deaths led to the war, then anyone who died in the war is also partially on Letho's head. He deserved to die.

[@JoseSilva-ht8es]

Fraser Whyte He was probably a better strategist, but I see your point.

[@ASillyHistoryBuff]

Henrique Silva Yeah I don't mean Natalie isn't good- the fact he managed to hold the Nilfgaardian Eastern army group at Mt Carbon for 3 days shows he's a great commander and an excellent soldier-however he does lack the grand strategem and logistics Temerias King Foltest had-together they could've held Nilfgaard back I think

[@kluang1]

King Foltest. Defeat the Nilfgaard at Maribor. Outmanuevered them at Brianne. Unite the North in the 2nd North_Nilf War and beat their sorry ass back to Yaruga. A beloved king. Love by his people. Respected by the sorceress. Friend with Geralt. Acknowledged by Emyr as a legitimate threat. Even the lodge knows if they want to make a country run by mages, getting Foltest acknowledgements is more important than the other kings unite. And he got kill because he's too damn good at his job.

James.T .Adams well, thats not particularly true, in most part, the church and the state cooperate well together.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

If you wish to point out individuals as representation of the whole, Then I could present the same thing. Men like Charlemagne, patre europae, worked hand in hand with the pope and often used the clergy as a way to administrate his empire, via the missi domini. and jumpstarted one of europe's educational and scholastical revolutions ie the Carolingian renaissance. Heck most States in looked to the clergy to administer state affairs, a prime example is moore or the celebrated cardinal woolsey. Louis the pious wrestled control over northern spain out of the hands of the ummayads and laid the ground work for the reconquista with the pope. You have King Sobienki who's christian league, which was created under the guidance of the pope, defeated the Turkish armies and saved Europe. And the popes weren't evil men, Galileo's patron was pope urban the eight and it was his connection with the pope that gave his theory (which was father Copernicus' Theory of Heliocentricity, yes Copernicus was a member of the clergy) alot of credibility in rome when the tycho brahe's universal system was dominant. Even when he was condemned by the inquisition, he was put into HOUSE ARREST in a LAVISH ITALIAN PAPAL VILLA GIFTED BY THE POPE HIMSELF. Pope Clement, who reign as the holy father during the English reformation prevented Catherine's and Henry's Annulment on both grounds of christian and moral honor (ie you don't annul a marraige just because you can't make an male child leading to a cannocial impediment). The practice of Clerical Celibacy was a measure for the Catholic Church to ensure that their priests were never in the business of inheritences and could not pass over land to children which could then use it for self-gain. There were many measures like these which are self limiting to the church's power. And the church, the clergy, and the institutions of learning they have established shaped the modern world, it is clear from the historical record that the church has been probably the largest single and longest-term patron of science in history, that many contributors to the Scientific Revolution were themselves Christian, and that several Christian institutions and perspectives were key influences upon the rise of modern science. to the Monastery of Lindisfaire and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in Rome, to the early church fathers to the Jesuits, to men and women like Grosseteste, Hildegard, Buridan, Oresme, Nicholas of Cusa, Bunfels, Bacon, Copernicus, Galileo, Pascal, Lobkowitz, Boyle, Redi, Newton, Kepler. Leibniz, Leeuwenhook, albretch von Hailer, Euler, Laviosier, Lemaitre, Mendel, Agnesi, Volta, Bernoulli, Ampere, Cuvier, Faraday, Babbage, Maxwell, Joule, and many many more examples leading to advancements and sometimes establishments of new concepts and ideas like in Geology, Botany, Optics, Astronomy, Calculus, Logarithms, Combinatorics, Trigonometry, Statistics, Computational Algorithms, Computers, Geometry, Chemistry, Biology, Micro Biology, Physiology, Parasitology, Genetics, Physics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Scientific Natural History, Scientific method, etc And that's ignoring christian charity and/ or not celebrating christian might. Detractors like you tend to ignore so much of history or look with a horridly unfair bias so that you can ascribe a label of "evil" to the church rather than looking at it holistically.

Know this is old as fuck but, I always felt like due to positioning perhaps Foltest never saw Letho preparing behind him, to me he almost seems to think Geralt may have betrayed him, despite how cool Foltest is, he was paranoid… Though I could just be assuming, the framing makes it hard to tell whether letho is deliberately keeping himself out of Foltest’s sight after he draws his dagger.

[@gumbogum]

First played this game last year and am thinking of going back to it. I loved the detail and character of King Foltest right from the start so was not expecting to see such an epic scene. I did like the style of the King's clothing as well.

[@basedbattledroid3507]

Foltest's right... Kings don't cry... They die.

[@jblasutavario9549]

According to Gwen Stefani and Marshall Mathers, they don't do that either.

i used to unequip all of Geralr's armor before triggering this cutscene... it was hilarious to see him running towards foltest in slow motion, wearing nothing but his undies and swords lol

[@konstantinkracher2884]

There is so much actual cinematic craftmanship in this scene alone along with the conflict of Geralt not beeing able to leave with Triss hence now beeing framed for kingsmurder instead. Anais saw everything but he had no clue about that and this whole ordeal is put together with such great camerawork and fitting music in a way that there is absolutely no need for explaining anything to the viewer. All this to introduce the main villian of the game, which later on even reaveals to have his good reasons and isnt all black and white either. Really talented people wrote and crafted this.

[@medievalgames4782]

The thing that I liked the most about Witcher 2 is that some scenes are so cinematic. Seriously, this scene could be in a big movie and still be so good. The score, the emotions, the characters, everything is perfect here. As much as I love TW3, none of the cutscenes there were as good as this one. Still, the best game, though.

[@Reaver1223]

if Foltest hadn't gotten killed, Temeria and Aedirn probably would not have been conquered by Nilfgaard. i guess playing dirty and hiring a witcher to assassinate all northern kings is a tactic the northern kingdoms should have used against Nilfgaard

He could have thrown the knife out the window but heard the guards coming so he drew out his sword. Also the guards propably got a narrow sight after they saw their king in a poddle of blood on the ground and saw a man with his sword out at the scene and novody else.

[@krystalcz9251]

It is these moments you realise that the game you played is something more...much more. From this moment you know that North is about to fall, and that the game is more like the real world outside-where Hope is lost by the ones that have lost their's hope too, we CAN say that Letho is the ,,bad'' guy, we can even say and should say that ,,Emhyr the Dick of the Witcher world'' is the most evil guy ever...and that IS why i so much love witcher 1, 2 and 3-no one is good or bad, just being themselfs and doing what they must....just like real world

[@InvisibleMan95]

Witcher 2 is so damn good.

[@hoptech674]

I'd played witcher 3 before 2 and my only exposure to Foltest was Gwent but honestly after playing 2 I can say I'd follow Foltest into combat happily he's one of three good kings alongside Radovid and Emhyr and his death was actually quite sad.

[@xXN0cturnXx]

5:21 witchers dont feel a thing. now i would say this scene went beyond witchers rules. even geralt is mad as fuck.

[@daralavida]

Then play TW3, and you'll know why.

[@xXN0cturnXx]

i played but i cant remember. what do you mean?

[@daralavida]

So do I. LOL. I mean I don't remember exactly. But, in the game we know that the mutation for Geralt didn't run as expected. So it didn't wipe his emotion thoroughly. I forget whether he said it himself or it come from the in-game book.

[@Rafalskimi]

I was very saddened by this scene. Foltest was one of the best characters in the entire series, as well as the best king ever in the entire fantasy genre. In the novels, you read about him, and you think "Heh, he's a pretty funny and good king." In the first Witcher game, you meet him and you think "Damn, he's awesome!" And then, in Witcher 2, he's just all of these things above. Even the new players have the time at the beginning to grow fond of him enough to be saddened by his death.

[@WhiteMousse1980]

Every time I see this there's a dumb part of me that just hopes it will turn out different. Foltest was a good man, and not a bad king. He was part of a web that was being dismantled for reasons one can understand if not condone. But he was just and honorable. Ugh this scene kicks me in the stomach

[@porkypine4529]

Anyone else nearly cry from the music and the slow animation of his death? Or am I just a sad gamer? 😭

Witcher 2 was easily one of the best games I ever played, and Witcher 3 was incredible as well. I really hope they would do a TV-series like GoT based around The Witcher's story, would be amazing! :)

in case you don't know , they're making a movie based on the first book short stories , The Witcher and Lesser Evil .
