What's the infanticide about, throwing the baby in the oven? Or something with the crones/the tree that I'm forgetting?

If you kill the tree spirit, a bunch of children get sacrificed to the Crones.

After seeing what most of the adults turn into in The World of The Witcher, I'm not super against purging some children.

motoh posted:Oh. Oh no, that's now how Blood & Wine was supposed to end at all. No, that's the most Witcher-y ending. The "Good" one is way too happy skippy for the world of the Witcher and kinda flies in the face of the entire expansion's ongoing theme of "there is no clear cut good and evil, and these stories rarely have perfectly happy endings." It does make me sad that there's no option for one sister to be executed while the other lives on with the guilt, though.

I actually like that, after three games of bleakness, Geralt can finally close a case with a good ending and retire. It's a good sendoff for the character.

Yeah but Siyanna is a piece of poo poo and doesn't deserve it. She's a nice country to Olgierd in that he had a good life, wasted it, and feels remorse, whereas she had a good life, had it turned to poo poo, and became an unrepentant sociopath.

Siyanna is Geralt's second chance with how he dealt with Renfri.

I still think it was too jarring to place the Shrek fantasy-land right after the massacre in Touissant.

Staltran posted:What's the infanticide about, throwing the baby in the oven? Or something with the crones/the tree that I'm forgetting? The baby in the oven thing though, I never understood The premise to the whole thing is both Geralt and Cerys both know they're tricking the demon thing. They have a whole conversation about it "you have to trust me without hesitation" etc. If you know it's a trick the demon will know and it won't work. Then later she runs into the house and is like here Geralt toss this baby in the oven. For SURE he knows this is part of the trick and trusts her, but it works anyway. Anyway it's a fun quest but that always bothered me.

Yeah but it's funny because it looks exactly like a drat baby. It's not a doll. Maybe she found some peasant's kid?

Nah it's really a baby. It's just that there's a second opening to the oven in the guest room behind the main hall.

Joey Freshwater posted:The baby in the oven thing though, I never understood Because Geralt doesn't know how Cerys's trick will work, or even if she's not really throwing the baby to die, Geralt feels genuine guilt. Just because he trusts Cerys doesn't mean he doesn't also second guess himself. This is why the trick worked.

What we should really wonder about is why Geralt felt the need to Quen lock that oven after chucking the kid in.

I cant believe the Baron tries to fob us with one story for the price of two. Why does the middle story end in a cliffhanger? Does he think we'd believe he dies in a flashback?

Well they attacked first so it’s not really murder you see. Vikings had an equivalent of weregild right? Technically Cerys could take care of that I guess?

Axii usually doesn’t work on groups and I’m guessing the devs didn’t want to put in options that would be guaranteed failures?

Someone, while arguing tree vs crones, said that the tree kills all the people in the village, which undoubtedly kills children as well. But the children in the village are well cared for, while the orphans living with the crones are certainly doomed to die even if they don't go with the crones anyway, since they are only sent to the crones because their family doesn't want or can't feed them. Thus, the net utility of the crones is superior to that of the tree spirit.

I could be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure that stuff's on a timer, so you could just parry them for a minute until the next phase kicks in. Not that the game ever indicates it in any way, so yeah, your first time through you're probably gonna murder some guards for the crime of Not Letting You Murder A Baby.

Wait until you can cast Axii again, get the other dude. Make that possible.

I don't recall any dead children bodies in the village so, since I thoughtlessly released a malevolent tree, I will just assume the kids all got away.

I'm looking for the herbalist who lives just outside the northeast gate of Novigrad and he's...just not there. I know he lived hear last time I played this game (ages ago), but I can't remember if I did anything to make him arrive, or freed him from somewhere. I need some recipes!

It’s Oxenfurt’s Novigrad gate, not Novigrad’s Oxenfurt gate. If this is confusing don’t try navigating roads in Europe without a satnav

I like Geralt's justification if you choose to spare him. It's also funny because not only do you find more trophy heads of his (that Geralt supposes that he also could not sell) in the cat hideaway, but you can also get a trophy for Roach in HoS that originally came from him as well. Poor guy never gets paid.
