The Best of Vernon Roche

My hero

[@Kishobran]

-Vernon Roche, special forces commander for the last four years... Servant of the Temerian king... Responsible for the pacification of the Mahakaman foothills... Hunter of elves, murderer of women and children... Twice decorated for valor on the field of battle... -Iorveth, a regular son of a whore! My favorite xD

[@Regularguy220]

Ironic coming from roche

[@nicbahtin4774]

the average terror fun vs the average terror enjoyer

[@spikegilfer1997]

"There's the bridge, let's go!" *Sprints off* *Geralt slowly walks after him* *The bridge breaks under Roche's stride and drops him a distance that would've killed TW3 Geralt six times over* *Roche lands with a roll* "Fuck!" *Gets to his feet in a fluid motion, preforms a wombo combo on the first guy he see's* Roche is a proper badass

[@EnclaveTrooper1]

It's even better with Polish voices.

[@shasper555]

yeah

[@solid-parker237]

He's pretty pissed, that's for sure

[@i_am_ergo]

It kinda looked like he broke through the bridge on purpose.

[@krisnorge5830]

What I love most about Roche is that when you take Iorveth's path, Roche still pulls Geralt's ass out of the fire, or rather from Nilfgaardian hands, and even helps him reach Henselt. He's more broad-minded than Iorveth but is somewhat impatient, prompting him to do some reckless things.

[@DOPOW9419]

4:03 "The city's in my hands." "And you're in mine..." Such a boss....

[@Anonymos185]

THe bridge scene is all you need to know about Broche

[@Anonymos185]

Hmm... a guy replies to a year old comment, on a video about a 5 year old game, and fails to realise that BROche is a play on Bro and Roche. You are almost impressively stupid

[@Anonymos185]

Any guy who uses the word autistic as an insult on the internet IS a dumbass

[@thekkl]

Should it only be used in person?

[@Anonymos185]

No one uses it in person, because when the idiots of the internet stand face to face with someone they know themselves how dumb of an insult it is. Its never used in real life

[@thekkl]

I like how someone with a picture of snoop dog on an account called Dank Potatoes is trying to lecture me on the different between internet life and real life.

[@eddupastelle4879]

Roche is a bro among bro's. I hope he's in Witcher 3

[@xVertexGaming]

He is lol

[@walmartian422]

Yea he was but cdpr fucked up and didn’t finish his and djikstras story and it all ends unceremoniously.

[@sidismo2903]

he and iorveth deserve their own game lol

[@docmitchellis1126]

That would be awesome.

[@Yusuf-lm8vc]

2:24 this transition from falling to fighting gets me every time.

[@redpandarampage2191]

I could watch that on repeat its so good.

[@despacitodaniel801]

FAK

[@iOnlySignIn]

As his TV Tropes page says, "Rated M for Manly".

[@tymora11]

Watching this, I only just realized that the name Roche gives when he first enters Flotsam is the emperor of Nilfgaard...

[@ASillyHistoryBuff]

+gdbalck "a trader In spices"

[@TheWonderfulWombat]

I hope that one day Emhyr introduces himself as "Vernon Roche, spice merchant!"

[@duydome]

There's a bridge, Let's go! *crack* Fuck! laughed my ass off

[@tedthetonberry225]

Blue Domino And he lands and takes a guy out as if he meant to do that.

[@MrRiddleAW]

Blue Domino Love how Geralt is just casually making his way up the stairs, as Roche is doing all that. He's just like "Yeah i'll be right behind you...."

[@RobLucci3]

I heard that the other path is really interesting, but I can't go against Broche.

[@EhCanadianGamer]

MehditechPROD I would consider doing different choices, but I'd rather not. At least not until I've played Witcher 3 and the series as awhole. Like to see how my choices in Witcher 2 affect Witcher 3. I'm sure Iroveths path is just as interesting, but I'll save it for another time.

[@AntonChigurh-]

triedge763 So, my choices in 2 will affect the story line in 3?

[@EhCanadianGamer]

King Tutankhamun I'm pretty sure it will.

[@FishJJFish]

RobLucci I went Iorveth first because I wanted to see all the dwarf stuff and chill with Zoltan, but I'm replaying with Roche this time around. Will update when i reach Chapter 2

[@RobLucci3]

Samuel Thompson Awesome. I'll just say this: I was quite satisfied with the payoff in Witcher 3.

[@City-Hunter]

Vernon Roche:"Emhyr var Emreis, spice merchant" Guard:"Uh Huh"

[@YWenXuan]

After the cutscene the guard says "spicy merchant eh? not likely." Its also a reference to the Emperor of Nilfgaard.

[@FlamesAndShadows]

@@YWenXuan He failed persuasion, but rolled well on intimidation. :P Two peas in the pod, him and Geralt

[@juleswoodbury58]

I love that he says that in commando uniform with the three lilys embroidered in his waffenrock.

[@redpandarampage2191]

Love Roche! He has no time for bullshit but always time for his bros. He is the epitome of the "Fuck this I'll do it myself" attitude, and the bridge scene is all you need to see to know the type of badass he is.

[@GandalfderDauerblaue]

Geralt in the Witcher 3: I‘m tired of politics, leave me alone. Geralt in the Witcher 2: Let’s go kill all Kaedwenians and their king.

[@ferradosa757]

7:43 "Do you know how much my arm is worth?" "Now it's worth sh*t like the rest of you." I lol'd xD

[@hopscotchoblivion7564]

What makes the Witcher games stand out to others like Mass Effect and Dragon Age is humor that mostly comes from the world and not just the main character. If you put Dragon Age's Hawke's use of sarcasm or Shepard's renegade dialogue against Vernon Roche or Iorveth, there is most likely a chance of a sharp comeback from those two. That or the jokes in the Witcher franchise are just so goddamn clever.

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

+hopscotchoblivion The Witcher series is just so much darker and more adult in general.

[@FlamesAndShadows]

Yup. Or more realized in 3 Geralt the professional pokerfaced deadpan snarker meets his match or even occassionally bested by Keira and Dijkstra, with some lucky shots from others. :)

[@janmedeus3070]

Almost falls to his death, rolls away like it's not a biggie, says fuck and carries on with his bussiness. Oh Vernon, why aren't you real?

[@iWillWakeYouUp]

The introduction between Iorveth and Roche is pure gold. That and I always crack up when he prematurely ends it with "Enough of this piss, DIE!" lol he's just hilarious.

[@sfocelot]

Vernon Roche: "Emhyr var Emreis: Spice merchant" Guard: " A Trader?" ..... Vernon Roche: "In spice's"

[@ChompChain]

2:24 seamless transition from falling to whooping a nigga's ass

[@DeadManSinging1]

He fell? That was so badass I thought he did that on purpose

[@baconses]

Roche is my Garrus, my Varric, my Yaevinn and Siegfried. Iorveth is worthy of praise, but Roche is my bro for life. Also, 110% badass.

[@idonahari1]

My favorite character in the game (besides Geralt, ofc) In my second playthrough I sided with Iorvate to see his path, it was nice but I felt bad after betraying Roche, to my surprise even that didnt stopped him from helping me later. What a bro...

[@MunchHerMuffin]

his sarcastic tone is hilarious

[@ladybladebinder7059]

I really missed Vernon in W3.. just not enough of the smartass chat.

[@MegaTran1001]

Writers didn't want him to overshadow Geralt. Wise move by Geralt's publicist.

[@Bingomandingo]

Donald Anderson late to comment but i agree. It was disappointing how for a character/story driven game that was supposed to be Geralt's last adventure, they shafted so many characters like Broche, Triss, Vesemir Dandelion, and so on. Not to mention how Djikstra abruptly becomes a complete moron in his last quest. It didnt feel like a last game tbh. No closure, weak interactions. Instead you get a forced narrative, Yennefer completely shoved down your throat, and fetch quests. Even the villians felt like a lost opportunity. They focused too much on trying to make big maps with weak exploring. However, I still quite enjoyed the game. When it has its moments its so good, but damn, some flaws I couldn't overlook which become glaring once you finish the game. But of course people will only tell you instead how it's perfect without explaining shit except that they were told its perfect

[@babasilikum7557]

I agree. It is one of the best games ever made, but they kind of failed with some choices regarding sidecharacter. -Dijkstra is like an old buddy of Geralt, which is not fitting in any sense -Roche is very different, compared to tw2 and has not enough screentime/Ves has like one dialgue with Geralt, thats it -Dandelion,Zoltan deserved some more quests for themselves -Priscilla plays no role after the attack, although you have a late storypiece in novigrad at Dandes - Yennefers romance option feels forced, cuz she has way more dialogue with Geralt in the whole game, while Triss as an romance option feels more natural, but I still take Yen cuz it fits better with the late game - some more romance options in general would have been nice, but wouldnt fit in the game. still miss soem other options there - not enough time with the sorceresses liek phillipa. I damn love her

[@Bingomandingo]

Literally agree with everything. The base game is overrated to me, because the one thing that is absurdly overrated in RPG's lately is the porn fetish with map SIZE (and I don't doubt CDPR's focus on this eventually affected side character/quest development). Like seriously, I wanted to choose Triss but couldn't because of how noticeably unsatisfying that choice was, so I always recommend Yennefer for a better playthrough; love her or hate her. It's bad to me when scenes needed to be added for Triss (while still lacking a true boobie scene cuz WHY U NO CHOOSE YEN). However, combine W3 with the DLC and it is definitely one of the greatest games ever. It was amazing just how much the add-ons addressed the issues I had and felt like it actually enhanced the game. The compressed storytelling felt more effective and grandiose, the bosses were for once complicated and challenging which actually forced me to think and use up nearly all my potions on Death March (fuck that frog lol), a Shani appearance but can't fully romance (team Shani screwed again), WAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better villians filled with depth, and most importantly the fashion was improved over the ugly ass base game armor. Not to mention the small things like new gwent faction. All this IMO gave me the scary thought of how good the base game could have truly been if CDPR used this same DLC mentality- they are clearly better at it. With that, we might have actually gotten a more free flowing game where you feel the choice you take is respected if it isn't "canon", with more character quests, people not getting out of character, more rewarding armor/weapons, etc, and more of the Lodge of Sorceresses. Could care less if it makes for a smaller mapped game-- everybody remembers the character-driven Drunk "mission" more than a stupid cave storing a recipe

[@babasilikum7557]

If you could read, you would understand what he means. Triss, for example, should be a equivalent rmoance choice to Yennefer. But she isnt. Dating Triss is not fitting in the game because you always get pushes towards Yennefer more than to Triss. Ofc this is because she and Geralt are lovers in the books. Yennefer has way more dialogue options in the late game and has an important role. Triss feels more like a minor sidecharacter, after you hit Skellige. And that happened to a lot characters. They have some screentime, but not enough for their importance to the game

"Atleast i'll die holding a lovely ass" - Vernon Roche.

[@readysetmood9473]

Roche's path felt more canon for me, at least in the game universe. It just doesn't feel right siding Geralt with Ioverth although he's fighting for a noble cause. Roche is the reason why Geralt avoided execution in the first place

[@HunterHearstHennessy]

Yeah. I like Iorveth's path a slight bit more, but Roche's path feels more true to me. I like his path as well.

[@aminzekul1157]

applying the game universe iorveth path is canon. there are a lot of comics about him.

[@maciejkowalski2114]

Aaaaah good ole Vernon "Broche" ;)

[@simple-commentator-not-rea7345]

makes it more bad ass Vernon Roche is a son of a you know what himself but not a regular one like Iorveth

hypocrisy

[@danieln6613]

2:24 "...yup, totally meant to do that"

[@namelessqueen2949]

"That time of the month" lol I'm dying xD

[@seaschulainn]

I wish we could have Iorveth and Roche at the same time and they can both be frowny and grumpy the whole time.

[@Soulintent95]

Roche is a badass

[@Korgoon]

Roche doesn't kills elves for being elves, he kills them for being squirrels. He doesn't see anything bad in normal nonhumans till they won't start killing people.

[@Spulpacz]

these r written so great,just like a book,oh wait.

[@Zquirrelthing]

a trader in spices

[@helloturtle3749]

0:44 he literally names off the emperor of nilfgaard and says he's a trader, because he could tell the guard he was talking too was a dumbass. Absolutely brilliant 😂

[@Fincarn5]

Glad to hear it. I thougth I was the only one who let the bastard live. My primary reasoning is that killing Henselt wont bring back the blue stripes or undid what happend to Vess, but it will condemn a country to civil war (as he is "the last of the unicorns").

[@Xander77Ru]

Personally, I really wanted to keep Henselt alive... and then he busted out the "squeaky hinge" line. Well, what can I say. What ensued was funny. Very funny.

[@boris8515]

Emhyr var Emreis. Spice merchant.

[@canicheenrage]

A probable ancestor to Albert Roche !

[@logandohardkiller322]

Hate that game for not giving me a way to fight for roche and saskia.

[@HunterHearstHennessy]

Well, you can have a fistfight with Roche in W2. (I know late reply ;P)

[@briantotse3]

2:25 "...FUCK" 6:18 Holy shit

[@aldrich2825]

wish they had add more of him i W3 =/

[@AbbyMireene]

The Roche vs. Iorveth debate is the new Mike vs. Joel. :P I like them both, though.

[@billymoses9734]

my pal broche

[@jlk4894]

I've never played witcher two but Roche seems like someone I could bro with and he made me haha like 3 times in this video so I'm choosing him for witcher 3

[@AbbyMireene]

I never bother saving Triss, because Letho saves her anyway if you don't. The mission where Roche kills Dethmold is hands down the most epic thing on Roche's Path. :)

[@RoninXsumari]

When he falls through the bridge "Fuck!" *knocks out a guy* hahaha oh man XD

[@TheFiresloth]

02:26 : "That's completely what I wanted to do !"

[@HovisSteve]

"At least I'll die holding a lovely arse." Indeedy!

[@zevbl8970]

I think they definitely missed the mark with Roche in the Witcher 3. Even though he was fighting the Wild Hunt at Kaer Morhen I feel that he could've done more than just setting useless traps and firing a crossbow. I would've loved to see him boxing out a wild hunt commander or having a moment like Hjalmar where he jumps through the portal. P.S. I would have loved to help Roche protect the emissary after killing Dijkstra. It would have been like a little slice of the the times we had in the Witcher 2 dealing with Nilfguaardian envoys and corrupt town guards. My Geralt would have loved messing around with politics if he could do it with his best human bro

[@zevbl8970]

@L Durand *confused blue stripes noises*

[@RacherW]

He is literally Mark Strong.

[@ChillStreamsLive]

Vernon's my favorite character. Right below him is Iroveth.

[@chaosuniversity9960]

A true tough guy right here.

[@DutchGuyMike]

2:22 LOL

[@EhCanadianGamer]

I'd fully agree this as the best of Roche, except for that. 8:05 I know he's responsible for killing his unit, but his balls man. Thank fuck he kills him, if he left him alive after cutting is balls off, that would be worse. That part right there, I would call it the worst of Roche.

[@66ALDARIS]

Both are excellent bros.

[@NapoleonBonaparde]

Best RPG since Mass Effect and Skyrim

[@pieniaurinko]

Ich fand sowohl die deutsche als auch die englisch Version sehr gut... Wahrscheinlich hängt es davon ab, an welche Stimmen man sich gewöhnt!

[@TheSPACECOWBOY33]

should have included that bit were Roche and his men attacked the elves that was one of my faverite parts.

[@Shipoopiism]

I love that man.

[@PJ3Life]

Roche > Iorveth. Although I think he sounds kinda better in Polish. But still great. :)

[@andrewmurray409]

i disagree. The bitter cynicism of iorveth is sexy as hell

[@alexdiaz155]

I forgot what he did to dethmold.

[@YorkJonhson]

I thought I was doing a good thing prioritizing a little girl's life. Then I ended up starting the Spanish Inquisition... lol

[@Paerigos]

Temeria´s last hope...

[@Eleglas]

I believe that honour has already gone to Garrus Vakarian.

[@archiethedog4515]

Wish there was one last Witcher 3 expansion with Iorveth.

[@Man...715]

“At least I’ll die holding a lovely ass.” -Vernon Roche aka Broche Ps. He says it at 5:03

[@MikeKnell2884]

That's correct. That's what they call him on polish dub.

[@geraltriv1156]

Za Temerię!

[@XmatineeX]

What on earth was that creepy alien looking man in his bed???

[@Korgoon]

But Roche isnt racist, Iorveth is. Roche punish all kind of ppl, if they are terrorists(like scoia'tael), traitor of country (loredo), conspirators, and other criminalists. Roche said that's not true that he didn't like non humans, he chases them cause they're killing innocent humans. Iorveth killing humans because of "no difference king or beggar, just one human less", so he is racist.

I have played through almost all of the enhanced edition for xbox, and I think they rerecorded all of triss' dialogue for the new version with a new actress. At any rate, her voice sounds very different.

Vernon Roche is so tough Chuck Norris is scared.

[@pieniaurinko]
