After my bro Foltest getting butchered, it's pretty hard not to join with the other bro, Vernon.
There's no way I'll ever be able to join the Scoia'tael, even less than in TW1. After all the mess Geralt went through to save Temeria in TW1, there's just no way to let it go to waste.
That mess that happened to Vizima was the result of rioting sparked by the Order's slaughter of nonhuman women and children, according to Zoltan. I'd side with him over anybody else. Human characters in the Witcher games, with few exceptions, are stupid, blindly ambitious, thoughtless and bigoted; I'm not going to have Geralt allow them to lynch elves and dwarves that aren't even involved with the Scoia'tael.
Iorveth is more of a bastard than Yaevinn was by far, but fighting systemic racist oppression is something I'll always steer Geralt towards, in the first game as in the second. Plus, the second act path from that perspective is absolutely great.
I don't see how anybody could have sided with the Order in the first game, since Siegfried even becomes less of a good guy and more of a jackbooted fascist thug toward the end due to the insidious nature of the organization. You had to work with White Rayla herself in the Order path, who's more genocidal than Iorveth.
I didn't look at Foltest as a "bro" really, just someone who knew what he valued and doggedly pursued it (at the expense of his soldiers' lives). He seems to be the only king with any sort of scruples (though obviously not regarding ploughing his sister), and Vernon Roche shares the same sort of core values despite his overly punitive deeds (like torturing people to death). It's hard not to like Roche, really, but he's still a very flawed man, and I look forward to seeing where his path takes me this next go round.
Retour en haut
