Things You Didn't Know about Dandelion's Women | THE WITCHER 3

[@aeroblaze4]

Dandelion's Women? Oh, this is going to be a long video. As ever, still impressed by your unremitting commitment to leaving no stone unturned in Witcher 3. Hope the next installment, if there is one, is equally jam-packed.

[@xLetalis]

indeed, I'm looking forward to the next game

[@thegreenreaper6660]

Dev's could probably make an expansion or two, just based on Dandelion's escapades :P

[@666222333111]

They did say they're working on new Witcher, just geralt won't be in it it will be different story about some other witcher school. (Cyberskank incoming ...)

Do you get paid for saying nice things on the internet?

[@printisdead1983]

I've tried to play it without any kind of guides, but there's so much I'm gonna miss and not even realize is there or could happen ,but the way it's set up i have this big fear of fomo on the entire game

[@thehoodedvagabum7375]

This guy has told me more lies than my ex-girlfriend, telling me it will be the last Witcher 3 mystery he'll uncover.

[@xLetalis]

I hope you find this video interesting, the details aren't huge but they took me a lot of back and fourth to figure out :)

I'm curious, how does Cyberpunk match up when compared to TW3? I've been meaning to pick the game up again.

[@kurwamac7229]

I've tried to pretend to be the cook at Var Attre's house without carrying my swords. Unfortunately, the guard has the same line of dialog. I would've loved if you could actually make him believe your lie doing this

[@xLetalis]

yeah I've tried as well

[@ryanmaier1964]

Same, not even an axii option

[@morganrose7022]

I always thought the body at 9:30 was a reference to how relatively easy it is to die from fall damage in this game.

[@xLetalis]

:D quite likely

[@racernatorde5318]

Only if you are a fool and don't bother to read about rolling to negate the fall damage on impact. It's absurd how many people whine(d) about it beeing to high, when it's actually working perfectly fine. Not that I wanna say that you were whining here of course. Really goes to show how many people ignore stuff

not sure if this is a missed detail, I remember when I was playing HoS, I tried selling the items that I looted from the mansion after finishing the quest Scenes From a Marriage, they were not worth it so when I tried to dismantle them I saw that the only item they convert into after dismantling is ashes, which I think is a nice detail

[@xLetalis]

Indeed, I think everything from that land dismantles into ash

[@Gwynnbleid95]

[@amaniid9240]

Almost 8 years has past and xletalis is still finding missed details for us. You sir are a true hero 👍

[@makingthemaster]

Another interesting thing about Sasha/Cantarella's letter; in the lore, as the spy named Carthia van Canten, she was known to just up and leave without a trace when her espionage missions ended. Such was the case with her 'lovers' Vattier de Rideaux (Emhyr's secret service) and Prince Anseis (Queen Meve's son) -- leaving both of them heart broken. So, it's interesting she choose to leave a letter for Geralt. Make's you want to believe she really did like him...

[@Isilily]

I never knew there were so many variations! I had no idea you could even find Lady La Vallete during the masquerade.

[@xLetalis]

[@roastedteeth922]

Ngl the Aryan fight in W2 was one of my biggest facepalms in gaming 💀 I wanted to spare the guy and thought that fighting him would result in him yielding. To say the least, as soon as the cutscene started I realised that I didn't make the best decision (yes I could've reloaded the save but it was my 1st playthrough so who cares).

[@inquespot9368]

I think making a video on all the women Dandelion hasn't slept with would be easier. Also Love the Zoltan song. It's a way better outro that selling Ciri off. Hope you and the family are doing well. BTW would it be too much to ask if you could create a Zoltan emoji of him reading the book

[@Mrityugata]

Actually, of the five people on the list, it's pretty clear he hasn't slept with at least two -- Elihal and Rosa. Possibly Mirabella (who's disappointed with Dandelion's lack of interest in her) and Molly (who's surprised at the notion that her husband would have anything against the association) as well. It rather looks like he's meeting them just to gather information for the heist. Also, consider what he has to say about Sophronia and Polly during the Cabaret quest. In general, the idea behind Dandelion's portrayal in Witcher 3 appears to be that he's finally growing up. Or maybe just getting old.

[@bendova_smith]

I just played this mission this past weekend on like my 15th playthrough and I still learned new stuff, so I really do appreciate the video xLetalis

[@landismithCOJ]

Dandelion should have had a DLC where he is playable character. The DLC deals with his juggling of women. "Dandi-liar" would be something 🤣. Thank you, xLetalis.

[@xLetalis]

hah, that is a good idea

[@fishmonger5026]

[@0liver.majkowski01]

Hey xletalis, I was wondering if you could make a Witcher 3 best build guide for a beginners/mid/end game stage build, showcasing the best skill point investments and best armour and weapons to choose for example after every 2 or 5 levels up until the end of the game, and a separate time stamp for a new game+ best build. This would help me and for sure so many others who may find it overwhelming to have the full experience of this fantastic rpg game and would prepare us for the next gen update which I’m waiting for to get a refurbished experience of the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Thank you so much I really hope you can make this a video idea as there are few KZbinrs who support the well aged game.

@@0liver.majkowski01 Oliver, the best build is your own build for your very own Geralt. You will get so much more from the game by trying things and building upon your strengths and learning from your mistakes than you would by following some overpowered build guide. The Witcher is all about enjoying the Journey on the path and not just getting to the destination, that is why it is just so damned replayable.

The only thing what is almost as impressive as the attention to detail in the Witcher 3, is your dedication to all these details. ;-)

[@johnbyrd7400]

Now when I so much as think of the Wildhunt theme all I can hear is Zoltan laughing. You should do a Pam Param with Geralt interrupting with Mmhmm, or something along those lines. Great stuff all around. I'm glad you're still making Witcher content.

[@twinmama42]

Here we go again - evil xLetalis, selling out Ciri ... it never gets old. In German, the quest's name is: Mätressenliste - "list of concubines". You should decipher the graffiti in the "Alchemy" and "Nowhere" - they are spicy (and mirrored, probably to fool censors)

[@LordofBroccoli]

An outro so melodic even Priscilla would be proud of it ;)

[@laczadore]

I've got few details which I am not sure you mentioned in your videos - "dialogue which you may have missed" with Ingrid Vegelbud, after first race in "Erazm Vegelbud races" or however this quest is called in english version - Vesemir dialogue at the morning right before lifting curse from Uma is a bit different depends on if we drank with Eskel and Lambert to the very end ( it means to wearing Yen clothes) or we went to sleep earlier (before playing gwent, and playing the "i never in my life" game) - first encounter with Hattori is different if we already heard of him from somenone. In some village in Velen (cant remember the name - sorry) you can ask the blacksmith about archmastery in blackmisthing and he will tell you about Hattori - then dialogue will be a bit different than if you visit Hattori without hearing anything about him - this one is quite complicated to explain in english but i'll try :D You remember the guy whos goods we have to destroy (or use Aksji) to help Sucrus to help Hattori? Later when we have to steal something from van Hoorn magazine he will be speaking with guarding dwarf. There will be a difference in what he is saying to him depends on if you destroyed his goods, or used Aksji on him. WARNING - to hear that you can't enter the conversation, just stay in safe distance and listen hopefully you learned something new, if anything is not understandable - i will try to explain it better have a nice weekend :]

[@xLetalis]

Hey again :) I'll have to look into these. I've definitely heard the Vesemir one, can't say for sure about the others, I think I know what you mean about hearing about Hattori from another blacksmith

[@katearcher8514]

"I love it" (Tomira replacing Shani on the boat) =))) You're hilarious sometimes The first one is great, I never killed Arian, so I couldn't possibly see the chain of events that make her aristocratic. And she's the basest of them all, what fun!

[@yar3333]

This is great news that you proved that children from the Crookback Bog are saved if you help the tree spirit! You told about that before, but not as decisively. Also it's funny how Rosa and Vespula's "salvations" end up differently. I'm sure that Rosa, as an aristocratic woman, may just save her revenge for later :) I think that to disassemble the game during 7 years and see all direct connections for every line could be still quicker :)

[@kirakovacs4877]

18:10 I would be really surprised, if you didn't know about this, but the wording of the video suggests that you don't (correct me if I'm wrong), so I'll add one thought for anyone wondering: the orphans of Crookback Bog are actually there in the school. Or around it. Not just the list of names, the actual children. You can find all of them during daytime, they are the only named children in the area of the school. You can't really interact with them though

You sir are a great gamer and guide. It's a shame all you've done can't be published like an old Brady Ganes walkthrough, because I'm never going to be able to remember all of this. The Witcher 3 is in this respect--and others--the greatest video game ever created and contains so much more than an entire series of other games, as you continue to prove. Please continue, and I'm going to go through all of your videos again before I restart the game, but I have one question: I never knew of any of these choices or possible results, but what if I never played the second game? Can I still change dialogs and get different results? I'm so lost here.

[@meanpersona4686]

Is it really called "Broken flowers"? In Polish it's called "List (or census) of adulteresses".

[@Mrityugata]

It's a reference to Jarmush' film by that name, similarly to how "Spis cudzołożnic" is referencing Stuhr's film (or perhaps Pilch's novel).

[@meanpersona4686]

@@MrityugataYes, but still the difference between the original and the translation is huge

[@Mrityugata]

@@meanpersona4686 I wouldn't say that. An English player is not very likely to be familiar with Polish novel/film, and since Broken Flowers (the film) has a similar premise, I think it's actually more appropriate then a literal translation. But also, if you'll excuse a tangent, I wouldn't be so sure that Polish version has to be the original one. There are some signs pointing to English version being the primary focus for Witcher 3 (unlike the first two games). Like how in the pre-rendered dialogue scene between Ciri and Avallac'h (the one before the final battle) lip movement is synchronized with the English lines, or how some of the non-verbal voice acting (grunts, moans, laughter) come from English actors even when playing the Polish version (Geralt and Ciri laughing together while sailing to Skellige is something that always stood out for me). And there are some lines in the Polish version that sound to me like an inelegant translation form English. Example: when Geralt is surprised that Keira is afraid of rats he says "Mogłaś je anihilować jednym zaklęciem.", which is a direct equivalent of English "Could've annihilated them with one spell", except it sounds off, because the verb "anihilować" is not used in Polish (would've expected "unicestwić" instead). Of course there's a lot of situations where Polish dialogue is completely different, which actually provides another interesting observation -- when I played the game with Czech subtitles the Czech version seemed to match with English, rather the Polish version. So my hypothesis is that perhaps English and Polish versions are both mostly original, but that other languages have been translated from English. Mostly just a guess as I haven't tried any other languages yet.
