She is an evil spirit.

 

Spoiler

She killed countless people near the tree, she kills every single person, no matter their age at the village, she is responsible for both Anna and The Barons death and we have no proof she will keep these children alive either.

 

There's also the fact that the Crones, who are insanely powerful, FEAR this evil spirit. Releasing evil spirits NEVER works in TW series. Hell we even saw something similar happen with the Pasta at the tower...

 

Note about the origins of the spirit in the Whispering Hillock. 

 

Spoiler

There's a text which you can pick up in the game that describes the origins of the spirit. I believe the spirit is actually a remnant, a very ancient one, and is actually the Crones' mother, she began to lose her mind, murdering, blood sacrifices, blood rituals cursing the land etc, so the Crones, her daughters, killed her and imprisoned her soul in the Whispering Hillock.

So if I free the Spirit, the Baron's Wife dies and then he kills himself...

 

But if I kill the Spirit, then they both live?

 

These choices man, these choices!

I'm not planning to play the game, not at least for a while when my PC is wooden. I did watch the cutscenes in youtube. I have few things to say:

Spoiler

* I didn't read the books. Yen was hyped by the fans, to me she seems cold, dominating and always up to no good, something like Triss in TW1. Prefer Triss in TW2 and TW3 all the way, much softer and likable in those games.

* If graphically comparing to DA:I, in DA:I the enviroments look vastly superior. Everything in TW3 looks brown, gray and swampy green, and no interesting lightning what so ever, mostly crumbling village houses. What does look alot better from DA:I are character models and animations, especially female characters. In DA:I there isn't a single female character that looks as good as Triss, and why the hell Bioware can't make hair like Yen's?

* Ciri is adorable, and her scenes with Gerald are very heart warming. The problem is I can't get the FemHawke voice out of my head.

* Half of Novigrad has Blackwall's voice. What's up with that?

* I liked how the side quest in this game are detailed with story, everything is not what it seems and it's funny how at least half of the monsters the humans are to blame. In DA:I in comparison, for example you have the spirit of command telling you to kill a rage demon, and... that's it? It is a good example how sidequest are handled in DA:I, should be alot more like in The Witcher, which probably leads to my next point.

* The Witcher series has a fixed protagonist, with a fixed personality and a clear job description. He has a small number of close friends which carry over all 3 games, and that CDPR exploited to the fullest (at least for the story, I can't comment on the gameplay because I didn't actually play the game), so it didn't fell into DA:I's trap of being too ambitious. Unless they are willing to completely give up customization, Bioware should not take the general idea from TW games, it will end up as a watered down mishmash of ideas. I think the ME2 model and DA:O model are best for the Bioware games unless they go for a 6-7 year development cycle.

With that in mind, I'll probably won't be back here until I finish the game. Which, judging by the length of it and my attitude as a completionist, should be around the time Half life 3 is released.

Having to now wait until Monday to be able to continue my playthrough is unbearable.

Just proves my point.  Releasing any type of malicious spirit, more so ancient ones NEVER works out in TW. We already had a similar incident with a Pasta earlier, you think people would have learned.

[Han Shot First]

That one Crone with the insects flying in and out of the fleshy hive where one of her eyes should be, had the body horror turned up to over 9000. I couldn't wait for the dialogue to finish just to get that thing off the screen.

Yeah, I dun goofed with that spirit on the island, wasn't about to do the same thing twice.
 
That being said, it does make the choice less than grey than it's supposed to be. Sure, you condemn the 5 children to death which sucks, but it's better than having an entire village massacred, the Baron and his wife dying, and at least the Crones seem to help the locals in their own twisted way while the spirit in the tree just wants to keep living and run around, no matter what destruction this brings.

EDIT: also, Skellige is a better Skyrim than Skyrim itself. So atmospheric, and dat music. Definitely my favorite area in the game, albeit the sunsets in the marshes of Velen are more beautiful.

What this game proved to me is that by focusing on story and characters instead of worrying about catering to every group of people out there equals a richer experience.

Wow The Witcher 3 forums is almost as toxic as BSN. Actually there is more feedback and positive light on the game here than over there

[HoonDing]

God, I hate Triss. Manipulating Geralt until the very end with her "drunkenness". Didn't even kiss her.

 

Can she die if you don't help her with the mages?

Don't think so. If you choose not to do it, it simply doesn't happen and the quest probably fails. A problem with most rpg's, time stands still while you are away for 10 hours doing other stuff.

BUT MAH PO9LTICS AND TRISS!

[The Elder King]

BUT MAH PO9LTICS AND TRISS!

Are they complaining About Triss? Why?

[Akrabra]

Pretty much. There is even a few petitions to have more Triss in the upcoming expansions or adding a romance dlc, its Solas all over again.

 

Are they complaining About Triss? Why?

Lack of content and that Yennefer feels forced on them. I think both romances should have had more content, but it is only natural that Yen has more screentime than Triss in this game. After all Triss had two games more. There is tweaks that could have been made to make the romance plot for both float more natural with the mainstory. But done is done. We have what we have.

Understood, and I agree with you.

Atleast it just means that humanity is lost and not that BSN is bad.

Though it's not really surprising, it's always the main forums that has people who likes the game or indifferent and people who just wanna complain 

[Call Me Jord]

Dammit

 

Met my first real challenge in Gwent. 

 

It's a merchant in a village near where Graham is located for "Rats in the Tower" quest, the one that involves a Magic Lamp.

 

He's quite Siege heavy, making me nervous. Thank god for reloading saves, I'll get this guy, I ain't going to continue my journey until he's defeated!

 

[Or I'll note this guy and location down, then come back and kick him to the curb]

Dudu is such an unfortunate name choice, especially when it's in the same sentence as Dandelion.

People can complain about anything, as much as I like any of the games I like I could just as easily tear every single game down to garbage and convince myself video gaming is a waste of time. I'd rather be an optimist though, it's a lot more fun.
