I can't imagine importing a file that isn't 'Iorveth - Saved Saskia', even considering Roche is the coolest, because establishing the Free Pontar Republic is such a big step for combatting the shittiness of the world that not doing it is just depressing. A nation dedicated to equality and protected and run by a literal dragon is pretty unique and great. This is also why Stennis will always get what's coming to him. Can't have nobles getting too comfortable.

^^^I didn't save Saskia because it's implied you may be able to save her another way down the road (although I doubt this will actually appear in TW3, honestly). I didn't kill her, she's just still bound to the dagger or whatever. Mostly because opting to save Triss is a way better story/outcome, imo. Keep in mind they want people to be able to make this their first Witcher game, so I'm not expecting ~big changes~ in the political state of the world based on previous decisions. Mostly just shout-outs, subtle references, etc. and I'm totally fine with that. Lycus posted:They're down on magic? I don't know what the books say, but from the games, sorcerors seem to get a lot more respect there than they do in the North. I'm pretty sure Sorcerers are kept on a much tighter leash in Nilfgaard, but I may be remembering incorrectly. It's been a little while since I've read the books.

How are minority races like elves and dwarves treated in Nilfgaard? At least the Emperor kept his promise after one of the Northern wars and gave them their own state, if I remember right.

They're all kept closeted in nilfgaard, particularly the sorceress's I think? The magic people in the north are ridiculously rich and basically control most of the nations from behind the scenes, or at least they heavily advise. The nilfgaardian ones are just weapons/tools for the empire. Heliosicle fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Apr 23, 2015 |

One of them being that the Scoia'tel are completely cut off from any assistance, but are secretly ordered to keep fighting- making sure that they keep destabilizing Northern kingdoms until they get inevitably massacred.

It's easier to win the troll head in poker for the ingredient then kill Loredo's thugs in revenge. Everyone wins except for the guy who bought the troll's head but that's what happens when you play dice poker against a save scrubber.

I may be misremembering, but isn't slavery legal in Nilfgaard? If so, that would be reason enough for me to side with the Northern Kingdoms. If not, that's a really tough choice...

I'm not sure if it's legal in the same sense as it was in the ancient Rome, but the Nilfgardians were driving some of the people from the territorries they conquered (most of the ones they didn't murder- oh yes, have I mentionned that the Nilfgardian invasion involved a pre-planned full-blown genocide?) into forced labour. Previous posters have mentionned analogies to the Roman Empire, but while I was reading the books the parallels to Hitler's Germany were much more apparent to me.

I hope in The Witcher 3 if you still have Raven's armor you get a chance to turn it into the best armor in the game. I mean, it's Raven's armor! Space-age stuff compared to the junk produced in that world! Kalkstein poured his heart and soul into that armor and I'll be damned that it remains as bonus starting armor! So Prince Stennis. Oh, what to do with you...

I recently finished the Roche path in TW2. Maybe I wasn't as thorough as during my Iorveth playthrough and did some things differently the second time around (mercy killed the final boss) but I never found out that Saskia is actually a motherfucking dragon this time. If I remember correctly, she turned up in the vergen mines in Iorveths run and saved the day.

It's the opposite, Nilfgaardian mages have it much worse than northern ones. Keep in mind that mages in the North have positions of power in every court and their own fancy island all to themselves (or at least the did before it got all hosed up). In Nilfgaard, a mage is just the same as, say, a librarian. That is to say, ordinary.

So I'm doing a run of TW2 before 3 is released. What do people think of the combat rebalance mod and would you recommend it? If it matters, I'm planning on a sign focused build since I haven't done that before.

Hannibal Smith posted:That made me really glad I did Roche's Path first. I can't think of any similar game-changing revelation you would have gotten playing Iorveth's first and then Roche's. Roche's path explores the blood curse more, since it's aimed at Henselt. Beyond that and following the Blue Stripes, it's very much the Low Information path. Iorveth's path gets you all the juicy details of Vergen and Phillipa's shenanigans.

Previous posters have mentionned analogies to the Roman Empire, but while I was reading the books the parallels to Hitler's Germany were much more apparent to me. Being against Nilfgaard makes more sense from the books perspective. First there is slavery, second pretty much everybody who Geralt knows fought (and many died) at Brenna to defeat them in previous war so it seems kinda lovely to just go "meh, who cares I'll side with them anyway". Finally, when the north asked that the scoiatael who fought on Nilfgaard side be handed over, Nilfgaard said - np here you go, do with them as you will.
