Dethmold is one sick S.O.B. I was surprised the lengths they went to to show his depravity. 

Besides forcing that servant to sleep with him....what did he do exactly besides his job?

Alright, easy with the spoilers now.

You did not answer the question.

Knight: True enough, heh.

I was just grossed out by the whole 'servant' thing.

but its pretty much similar or better yet exactly same as to what phillipa does to her apprentice. she has leashed her so to speak.
Both were pretty much screwing their help so to speak

Sabrina Glevissig is one of the main characters in TW1's "Price of Neutrality" side adventure that comes with the Enchanced edition. She's basically a scheming **** as much as the next sorceress.

I disliked Triss greatly in TW2; I felt there was no chemistry between her and Geralt whatsoever, and the voice-over was so very bland (the way she says "Oooooh" when Geralt gives her the rose of remembrance made me cringe).

About the overall plot, I don't get why the nation of Lyria isn't involved in the politics whatsoever. Sure, the name of the game is "Assassins of KINGS" while Lyria is ruled by a queen, but that nation borders Aedirn to the south and played a very important role in the last war with Nilfgaard. The queen of Lyria should at least have been at Loc Muinne in the final chapter... it would also have been nice to see her since she was the one who made Geralt into Geralt "of Rivia".

"He who controls the Pontar Valley, controls the North." There are only 3 kingdoms whose borders share the Pontar Valley, so it's not surprising Lyria wouldn't be involved.

Like Cintra, Lyria is sort of like a buffer zone against Nilfgaard, so in a future TW2 I suspect Lyria would play an important role, considering Temeria's Foltest isn't there anymore to "lead" again.

It is curious though that the Queen of Lyria is not a target of the assassinations, considering who was behind them.
Perhaps the threat was pacified via different means.

Not really. Phillipa was more like, Sleeping with The Enemy!

^ You should post your build info Rage. What tree are you focusing on?

[CalJones]

Heh, the Roche and Dethmold thing made me say "holy f***!" out loud. But then what Radovid did to Philippa on the Iorveth path made me cringe a lot more (though perhaps that's because I'm female, heh).

There is a lot of cool stuff on both paths. I was very anti-Scoia'tael in the first Witcher game (I only ever did the pro-Order and neutral playthroughs) but actually preferred the Iorveth path this time - I felt it gave more insight into the general scheme of things. I played the Roche path first time and didn't even realise that the dragon was supposed to be you know who. I also like Iorveth a lot more than I expected. Roche is awesome but I found myself warming to the elf. Is there any back story regarding what happened to his face? (Haven't read the books).

I usually go Swordsman first and then end up with Quen+2 and +2 extra Vigor from the Magic path. This time I went Quen+2 right away and will go Swordsman afterwards.

I really want to try an Alchemist build but can't bring myself to do it. Not on Insane! =)

[slimgrin]

I did an alchemy build and honestly feel like I kinda botched it. It does have some wicked buffs and drinking a 4th potion really comes in handy. I think I'll try swordsman/magic on my next run.

Also, am I just imagining it or does linking attacks with Aard increase sword damage? And does anyone think it's worth it to alternate between light and hard attacks on a single opponent?

Though Philipa did deserve it, and more actually. She had a hand in helping Sabirna kill 3.000 soldiers at the first battle of Vergen, keep that in mind.

I think that Iorveth IS more likeable and Yaevinn, since at least Iorveth has a plan that COULD potentially work while Yaevinn's plan consists of: "Unite and kill all humans."

I admit. I am enjoying playing his path more then I would have liked, but I still have that tiny voice in the back of my head shouting at me that he butchered thousands.

I'm male and I cringed more at that too so it's not a gender thing, though I always have a thing about eyes, could never put contact lenses in because the mere thought of having something in my eyes freaks me out, be afraid it would cause my eyes to fall out or something (and yet I managed to have my eyes lasered, though that involved someone else holding me down and being too afraid to move in case they slipped with the scalpel...).

[CalJones]

Philipa deserved something, that's absolutely true. But that's not something I'd visit upon my worst enemy. Then again, nor is burning at the stake. It's a brutal world, to be sure.

And yes, I never could like Yaevinn (although I felt sorry for some of the elves under his command). I must admit, though, that I also find Iorveth kinda hot, even with half his face gone. His bone structure... heh heh.

Dont know if you got to see the "dreams" part yet, it gives you a bit more on what Ioreth really wants now.

Oh, so the butcher has a dream ( I am just going to call him that, Zigrin is just too spot on ) well good for him, he still deserves to be left to the mercy of the likes of Loredo for all he did, and I don't want to even get started on what Phillipa deserves.

As for finding Iorveth hot....well good for you I suppose, it's not an argument however.

In regards to Insane Fights. Here is the Kayran on Insane, Letho in Chapter I and lifting the curse ( draug is 14:00 )

It doesn't really explain anything. He speaks in Elvish all the way through it! Am I missing something?

@FlintlockJazz - yeah I got my eyes lasered too. It's not like you can really see what's going on, though, since everything's too close to your eyeball. The smell is pretty bad, though. Like a horse being shod.

@Orbit - got to see the dreams on the Iorveth path. Roche path is cool but you get to miss out on an awful lot, I found. In fact, you experience a lot of bad things on the Roche path (regarding what happens to the Blue Stripes and Ves and also not acquiring the magic dagger to aid Saskia).

I do wonder what events are going to be canon. For instance, if you go with Iorveth, will Roche save Anais anyway? And if you go with Roche, will Philippa still get punished by Radovid?

[Costin_Razvan]

I think the dream means he wants to end his sensless fight and finally have some peace in his life for once.

As I said, he is better then Yaevinn, but he still is a terrorist and nothing will change that one bit.

 I do wonder what events are going to be canon. For instance, if you go with Iorveth, will Roche save Anais anyway? And if you go with Roche, will Philippa still get punished by Radovid?

I think so, Radovid CAN mention Phillipa in a conversation on Roche's path.

What's so important about saving Saskia anyway? You can save Temeria from being butchered as a nation instead, I would say that's a whole lot more positive then Saskia foolish dream ( That nation she creates won't survive a war with Niflgaard since no other northren nation will aid it. That I am pretty certain of. It's a nice dream, but it's just that: A dream.).

So what? You forget you are playing Geralt, a Mutant freak that was ultimately killed by a mob of those who should be grateful to him while trying to massacre non-humans. You are not playing Costin. There is no Costin in that World. Yaevinn makes excellent points if you explored the dialogue options.

And you talk on your videos!!! (though I did comment on one of them and thanked you)

Turn on subtitles and you can read what they say.

[Costin_Razvan]

That's not an argument either. Geralt is defined by the choices YOU as a player make ( to say otherwise would imply you find the choice system nil ). My Geralt had good sound reasons to hate Iorveth and his Scoia'Tel and he had good sound reasons to hate Yaevinn. ( Are you forgetting who killed Foltest, are you forgetting who took innocent people as hostages - including children - In Murky Waters? You can argue, but don't bloody pretend those were "right" choices ).

What you cannot grasp is that Elves and Dwarves are NOT all Scoia'Tel, nor do all want to be Scoia'Tel, nor do all CARE about that stupid cause. Geralt died defending innocents, he did not help a bunch of murderers.

EDIT: As for Saskia, she doesn't need any help to repel Nilfgaard. She'll just fireball their asses! And, if you lived in a country under a tirany or military dictatorship, sometimes both, you should know that freedom fighters are often called terrorists by those in power.
