Should i choose roche or scoiatael

I agree. I played Roche's path first, because the choice was presented as being between rescuing the prisoners on the barge or taking out Loredo, and it seemed to me that getting rid of Loredo would be the greater good.

I had no idea that doing that meant that I was signing up to side with Henselt and Dethmold -- yuck. The second time around, I sided with Iorveth, and Vergen was a lot more fun than Henselt's camp although a lot harder to learn one's way around , and I liked Saskia loads better than Henselt.

Of course, she goes down quickly, and then one has to deal with Phillipa, whom I don't much care for, but at least we're still surrounded by dwarves. I love the dwarves.

Everyone always talks about the humans vs. I didn't find the overheard conversations as interesting or compelling in TW2 except in Vergen, but they were a lot of fun there. CostinRaz Banned 3 Aug 3, Roche, by far. To me democracy is really overrated and Saskia's dream and Iorveth's one as a result is feeble at best, besides I like Dethmold and Henselt, whether or not they are jackasses it doesn't matter, they are genuinely improving the condition of Kaedwen as a nation and thus the lives of the common folk in that nation.

Rulers are not good based on their kindness but how they get shit done. I like and dislike them both. I dislike all the dwarves [I can't stand the short little drunken bastards! In my opinion the dwarves are waaay too stereotypical to my liking, the jokes about excessive drinking, farting, and random cursing stopped being funny at the age of twelve. And they never shut up, there is WAY too much dialoguing with the dwarves in Vergen, and like I said most of it is pointless banter about screwing women, passing gass, and more talk about getting intoxicated, it just gets really boring because its all the same.

GuyNwah Ex-moderator 5 Aug 3, First time through, I played Iorveth's path, and I thought it was too simple and too idealistic, more greater good than lesser evil. Since then, I found out I was wrong about it: there are two very, very different ways you can end up seeing the struggle to establish a free Upper Aedirn. I like both but more towards Roche's part since it has more serious politic and conspiracy dept my appetite.

I played Iorveth's first then Roche's. I preferred Iorveth's path over Roche's doesn't mean I don't like Roche's as Vergen made me feel more homely than the Kaedweni camp. And having a LotR Helm's Deep scene in the battle is always a plus in my book. Both paths have their good and bad points. Also the Iorveth's path has more interesting quests. Shame you'll miss the part where Iorveth said he just wants a future where Elves arent afraid of cities and humans arent afraid of the woods.

He opens up a lot in act 2 and talks about a lot of interesting things. As for his line about the women Scoia'tael units aren't gendered, the fighters are both men and women. Would you have made such a harsh judgement had he said "our men are prepared to die"? Somehow I doubt it. Biggest shame of all is that in the Witcher 3 Iorveth is totally absent regardless of importing your save or not, meanwhile Roche has 2 quest lines.

Although I went with Iorveth I actually really like your reasoning. After seeing more of Iorveth and helping the people he leads you too I'm not sure I'd change my mind, but you presented me with the most compelling reason to do so I've seen since playing the game years ago. Although I probably won't ever replay the game, it just goes to show that there's a lot of ways you can approach that choice.

Broche by a mile, better character and a more interesting path. Perhaps if they got to have Dol Blathanna in the game like they wanted to it would have been the reverse. If you stick with the Iorveth path, you can eventually watch Roche from afar using magic. He tells his men you are innocent, and not to attack you if they encounter you again. Even after you betrayed him to join an outright terrorist cell, he tells them to stand down if they meet you, because he believes in you. You are going to do the right thing, even with Iorveth.

I actually think the Iorveth path is super interesting as a side story of sorts for the canonical story of the games no offense Iorveth guys, but the way 3 is structured, Roche is the canon path.

Always side with Roche. The Scoia'tael have always been mislead and misdirected terrorists. They are fighting for a good cause in the worst ways possible. Roche is so unbelievable false and full of shit and questionable morale but he seemed more usefull to me so i went with him.

Always pick the winning side ey? After dipping into the beginning of act 2 with both parties, I decided to go with Roche. Not only does it give a much more satisfying conclusion to act 1, the people Geralt finds himself aligned with were very interesting. Having played the previous game and reading a couple of the books, Geralt finding himself embroiled in a conflict he wants nothing to do with-with unsavory characters who only tolerate him because they need his expertise-seems very much in line with the tone of the series.

Finally, you can convince her to go to Kaer Morhen, which is the happiest ending for her. While in Velen, you'll encounter the whispering hillock and have to make a decision about what to do with the creature residing inside.

If you choose to kill the spirit, then the orphans will be eaten by the Crones, although the town of Downwarren will be saved. Anna will go crazy but survive. If you free the spirit the orphans will be rescued, but sadly, most of the villagers in Downwarren will die. Anna will be turned into a water hag and then die, her husband will commit suicide. There is also an option of freeing the spirit before you speak with the Ealdorman, it varies in that Anna isn't turned into a water hag, however, the orphans also die despite the game making you think they were okay at first.

Triss's main arc in The Witcher 3 revolves around her desire to help free the mages from Novigrad so they aren't ruthlessly slaughtered by Radovid and his men. If you decide to help her free the mages, then other races will be persecuted, such as the dwarves. This will affect the game later when Zoltan is unable to help you at a pivotal point.

However, if you don't save the mages, they will all be murdered, you can't romance Triss, and Radovid will win the war no matter what. The entire second and third acts of the game particularly important to deciding on Ciri's fate.

You'll need to be careful in all the decisions you make during the final battle and the quests leading up to it if you want to get the best ending.

I feel favor'd toward the elves. I like their cause, history, and style more then humans. Would i be regretting this choice later? With minimal spoilers please. User Info: gigplayseelgai gigplayseelgai 9 years ago 2 In my opinion, no you will not be regretting it. User Info: xplorerwielder xplorerwielder 9 years ago 4 Go with your gut on this one.

User Info: Aklis Aklis 9 years ago 6 Well, as far as I've gathered, it's sort of like this: Iorveth's path is much more traditional fantasy, good vs evil, idealism and all that.

User Info: CyoX CyoX 9 years ago 7 i think iorveths path is both written better and what the canon choice will be going forward.
