@Kyuzowski I tried playing on polish on one of my playthroughs, but I just couldn't get into it. There are so many good voice actors in the english version, and I honestly think they do a better job.
Ironically, my game pretty much ended here, since I had cleared every possible thing in alll other areas - nothing else left to do, after slightly less than 300 hours
That was one of the only game breaking things about TW3. I left Yen on the shores of Skellige for months of in game time whilst I explored, did side quests and played Gwent with random folk. Kinda spoils the immersion a little but then again it's the player's choice to do that!!!
The only consolation in terms of Detlaff's death is that in his Character entry, it's written that he did not blame Regis in his final moments, and knew this is the best way because he did not want to live anymore anyway
Yeah, makes sense. Detlaff got fooled by Syanna, killed hundreds of innocents just for her, and strained his friendship with Regis. During the chat with Detlaff at the party, he implies that even he knows that what he is doing is wrong.
Detlaff being dead sucks. I still feel as though this 'good ending' is actually the worst ending. The only one who suffers in this ending is Regis. Which is hardly fair, seeing how hard he worked to try and save everyone. I much prefer th ending I got, which was Syanna, Anna and Detlaff die. They all deserved it in my opinion. Petty, the lot of them.
@@NightQueen01 aah fuck it I have completed the game 4 times... First time I saved dutchess sister and she killed the duchess... For the 3 consecutive times I let the sister die... Duchess, Dettlaff, Regis all safe... Fuck the sister for all i care
Ugh. I just love how when Syanna says to Geralt "you really want a happy ending don't you?", the game is essentially breaking the fourth wall and speaking to the player. I remember in my first playthrough, by this point I felt emotionally exhausted (dramatic, I know) hoping that my in-game decisions would not lead to a tragic ending, and when Syanna said this I was like "why are you calling me out like this CDPR?!"
As much as I like that it kinda feels bullshit that because of one word Dialogue you get them both killed,when I saw finally honesty choice dialogue it meant for me that there was a tense conversation incoming since Syanna was lying the whole time,but nope even if i told Annarietta to forgive her she ended up dying idk...Was I the only one baited into that dialogue choice ?
@@kurokoedits1250 which dialogue choice are you referring to, is it the one I was talking about? Because, if you get to that point in the conversation, I believe, you're pretty much out of the woods; It's been a while since I last played so I could be misremembering.
@@kurokoedits1250 I got correct choice on my first playthrought and its not hard to save them, you just need act like a good man, and a good man never speak wrong
Its definitely way more intense. I am ashamed to admit that I turned down the difficulty slightly, just for the Dettlaff fight. Died about 4 times before I did that, though.
@@pendubenchnaldo actuallt these numbers was how much I spend for the sets and enhancements and extra rune slots etc. Now I have over 60k if I remember correct.
There should have been an option where we suggest Regis to go to Kovir As Triss is the royal advisor and city is filled with Mages; no vampire will try to attack it or risk exposure Whereas Regis can live under our protection (even become an advisor to king himself) and we can meet him in Kovir
@@xLetalis going to Kovir would have been great Maybe someone with a grudge against Geralt attacks him or kills/wounds someone he cares about or won't stop spreading chaos until Geralt comes to Kovir As for a contract idea, maybe a curse is ravaging Kovir and Geralt is hired along with others to deal with it, chance for another Witcher to appear maybe
Bruh as i was reading ur message came to a point where u wrote Regis to go to Kovir and triss in video said in same time i read it "Kovir" i was like damn im a witcher myself.
I'm not going to lie I wished one ending was that you would reason with detlaff and he would let you cut his head off and fake his death because Regis would regenerate him and everyone acts cool about everything
@Egill Skallagrímsson This was the best possible outcome for the sisters and for the kingdom. We cant deny fact that Syanna murdered 4 people and caused the vampire uprising, she has to be punished. But this is better than the worst outcome, and that is the sisters died and the kingdom falling into disarray. Killing Detlaff and Regis leaving is not ideal but the other alternative is worse.
@@backpain100 The next game, probably Regis at Nilfgaard. Or like the Unseen Elder, the door between the world and vampire world will open like conjunction of sphere. Or, geralt as a wine merchant...hahaha
"Regis is hands down my favourite character." FTFY What's not to like? He's highly intelligent, respectful, observant, willing to admit his mistakes and learn, has impeccable posture, and an encyclopedic knowledge of many things. He's an excellent conversationalist and I have the sense he actually SMELLS good, too. What a total bro.
I will never understand why geralt and regis didn’t just destroy detlafs body and have him regenerate over the next century. That would have solved all their problems. The duchess and her sister would have been dead by then and it is a fitting punishment for him.
Wow good point. His petty drama with humans would be irrelevant, all the ones he knew would be long dead. Although maybe he'd still take it out on the city.
Reis might have still swore vengeance on the world and humans and Geralt might dead by then and there certainly would be no more witchers to help deal with Detlaff should he go on a rampage. Detlaff had to be put down
There's no real happy ending, either Detlaff walks, something Regis is not happy with ("What have we done?") are his words. But, Regis is likely suffering immense grief.
@@wizardswine Regis is eternally conflicted, he's an incredibly moral being in the body of a species that generally has little empathy (something he is painfully aware of) surrounded and trying to live among a species that is capable of empathy but also even greater callousness and capriciousness than his own kind.
Regis' decision to end Dethlaff was an immense choice and sacrifice for Regis to take! For Vampires, to kill one of their own is seen as one of the greatest crimes in their society! Add up to that: Dethlaff actually revived Regis from the féw remains left of him after the Vilgefortz-ordeal: Dethlaff went through a lot of trouble and effort to achieve Regis' ressurection! Regis OWED Dethlaff his life!
If you think about it, the Forgiveness ending is very fitting for Geralt, since it can be considered a redemption for him. His whole adventure began when he earned his title the “Butcher of Blaviken” and killing Renfri. Granted, he only mentioned her once in Blood and Wine, but the whole quest is pretty much revolving around the event that started his story. CDPR’s epilogue for Geralt’s journey isn’t just a hunt against a higher vampire, but something far more internal: To not fail again when he had on Renfri.
Bruh I agree 💯 that is exactly how I saw it when I chose this ending. And besides both Anna and Syanna were horrible people but in truth I felt like the reason why they were like this is because they were actually children in adult bodies.
It began with the Curse of The Black Sun (Renfri), and ended with it (Syanna). What that ending was? That's for you to decide... I went for forgiveness! There is magic in sincere forgiveness, magic to heal, in the forgiveness you receive and more so in the forgiveness you give.
@@sherry356I'm doing a play through where I'm forcing myself to make choices I normally don't make (Not saving Olgeird, Hjlammer becoming king) and I gotta say man, you are making me feel like hot garbage for the BOW ending I'm about to get
I like how syanna says "you really want a happy ending, do you". Geralt has been through so much depressing stuff always ending in misery. He wants his last contract to end happily. For Geralt it's not about the money anymore.
I know it's technically the best possible ending, but... it feels so bitter, that Regis is now an outcast from his own kind, for trying to save a foolish friend. Just the same I feel bad for Detlaff - basicly a victim of a hatred and spite brewed for years. And then? He acted as any man with a broken heart - gone mad with grief.
Well, we would'n act like Detlaff. We're humans, he's a vampire. As Regis stated, he's more animal-like, thinking like a pack leader. We can't exactly measure his actions as we'd measure actions of a human. I still belive that all this situation is fault of the royal sisters only - Syanna knew that she's dealing with a extremely dangerous being that thought patterns cannot be comprehend fully, and still tried to play him just to enact a petty revenge. So for me, Detlaff is as much of a victim in all of this as anyone else
You say, we're humans, we wouldn't act like Detlaff. But if you look at what happens in slaughterhouses, you'll see we act the same. Humans are for vampires only domestic livestock, like cows and pigs for the most humans. We misuse our power not less.
you know, i believe the two "good" endings (a.k.a. the ones where Anarietta doesn't die), are a perfect synthesis of the Witcher's way of looking at the world as Geralt once said, he is not a mindless slayer, he kills only the monsters that are too dangerous and stupid to coexist, that is why he rarely kills sentient monsters (unless they are too deranged). Putting into his words, "Witchers protect both worlds, humans and monsters". And in those two endings, you, as many other times, have to choose which side to take. Side with the humans, sparing Syanna and convincing her to forgive Anarietta. Everyone in Toussaint is all happy and bubbly, the beloved Duchess and her loving sister together leading Toussaint towards a radiant future...but at the price of killing a sentient monster, that because of his inhuman nature was not able to understand the subtileties of a potentially evil human mind and thus too easily swayed, and the voluntary exile of another one, that you ended up befriending, branded an outcast by his own kin, for being forced to put a stop to a deranged developement Side with the monsters, letting Syanna be killed. The "villain", after all, understands he has done wrong for he was swayed, and leaves for good Toussaint, freeing the city of the vampire terror; furthermore, another sentient monster is not forced to take actions against his own kin, and can keep living peacefully. And yet, a human life was taken, a sister will never see her sibling anymore, nor will she ever be able to cope with the double loss of that dear person; the townsfolk will not see a resolution, since the "beast" was not "slain", thus still keeping that fear in the back of their hearts. And again, your inactivity resulted in the death of a human, a human that you were tasked to save, that you strove to save till the very end... This is why The Witcher is an awesome universe. As the lady from the orphanage said, there is never only black or white, and rarely you can ever get a true "good" ending
There is one more option. After Dettlaff kills Syana, you can kill Dettlaff. And I would vote for this as the best ending out of those we're offered. Dettlaff has gone too far. He didn't really give Syana a fair hearing, broke the word of his friend Regis, and left Geralt in a very bad -- possibly fatal -- situation with the duchess despite all Regis and Geralt tried to do for him. He arranged the incredible loss of life and property in Beauclair of his own free will. (And it was bad. Listen to the herald outside the armorer's later, and walk through Beauclair to see all the reconstruction and listen to the citizens.) There's no guarantee that he won't be a danger in the future, either, despite what he says. Dettlaff just can't be allowed to walk away from all that, despite the sympathy one feels for him. Even Regis agrees, though he has his own peculiar vampirish reasons for why he cooperated in bringing Dettlaff down in this scenario. Likewise it hardly seems just for Syana to be completely forgiven and spend the rest of her life living like royalty at the duchy's expense, trading on her victimization. Perhaps death is too harsh a punishment, but it's the only one available. At least two of the knights she had killed were not really evil men, though Crespi, at least, was a waste of oxygen. And she is directly responsible for the deaths of more than just those four knights. What about the singer whose throat was cut by a man acting on her orders? What about those killed by the bandits under her command? She made a conscious decision of her own free will to become a human monster, and there's no guarantee that she won't be a danger to anyone in the future. I don't think it's right to allow her to walk away from all that, despite the sympathy one feels for her. As for the duchess, though she is not in a class with Radovid or Emhyr, she is a horrible, irresponsible ruler. If it wouldn't throw the duchy into complete disarray, I wouldn't mourn her death overmuch. Being driven out of the duchy by an outraged peasantry would work for me, but I guess they're happy with their misrule. So she gets a pass despite my having very little sympathy for her.
Stick to the motto of the Witcher. Syanna and Detlaff were both evil, only differing in their contribution to the deaths. One was the orchestrator while the other was just a tool. Both of them needed to die imo. And tbh Anarietta is a bitch living in a child's daydream while ruling a vast duchy.
I originally posted this under another comment, but when I read this thread I thought it would be just as fitting here. Fair warning: long winded diatribe to follow. TL;DR at the bottom. Blood and Wine is the only case I've ever encountered where I consider everyone dying to be the best ending. Syanna had to die for orchestrating the murder of five people including her own sister. Dettlaff had to die for burning Beauclaire to the ground. Anna Henrietta is a slightly different case. She protected her psychopath of a sister over the people she was sworn to defend. I get it. She loved her sister, but the people wouldn't have seen it that way. There would've been a viscous, bloody revolt. Anna Henrietta was still very well liked at the time, so her death would've been mourned instead of celebrated, stabilizing the situation before further blood was shed. The main quest of Blood and Wine is a classic tragedy through and through, but it also shows that some good can come from all the pain. The "bad" ending fits perfectly with the tone of the expansion, whereas letting Dettlaff kill Syanna just leaves you feeling empty, and the forgiveness ending feels so out of the blue that it left me scratching my head wondering what just happened, while also not resolving Syanna's story. We don't get to see what happens to her after the trial. We don't even hear the verdict. TL;DR, I think CDPR dropped the ball with the "good" ending, and the one where everyone dies is much better from a story perspective.
The way Geralt stops and looks towards us... instant nostalgia, and i just finished the game. That was a stroke of genius! The third game of this series was perfection: the characters, the lines, the story (i liked the companions quests and the expansions the most, they had more soul), the world, the moral dilemmas. Thank you for all your uploads.
we will get another witcher game no doubt, could be a prequel? another witcher school? a game where you play as vesemir and show the relationship between Geralt and the school. either way im excited.
And that's what CDPR is exactly gonna do Going by the fact that this marks the end of geralts ending, and if CDPR ever make another witcher game in the future...
Am I crazy. please call me wrong for this but is 4 counts of murder really being washed away by a tickle and a hug. Yes its Detlaff who did the murders but is syanna who made it all happen.
Henri Mahieu IMO the dutchess is short sighted and sometimes selfish, like in one ending imprisoning geralt for the death of syanna. I think that she was selfish because sure, syanna died, but I still killed detlaff and ended the murders
@@guardian9832 That's what happens in that ending? WWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW. I'd be more than a bit miffed. Like, "sometimes heads just roll" kind of miffed.
Thats how it works in real life too, you think your elites pay for their murders? Snoop dog and o.j simpson both walked away free from murders Not to mention mass murderers like george bush
38:07 Anna Henrietta remembered how ticklish Syanna was whenever she touches her hips. Look at the slight grin that she made before she decided to tickle Syanna and reinvigorate the sisterly love that the two once shared when they were children. Syanna felt surprised at first, and angry even. But then, partly thanks to her conversation with Geralt earlier, she decided to forgive her sister because she realised that, all this time, her sister never forgets her.
A true happily ever after. We could lock Detlaff in the cage Kagmar was stuck in/Regis was in temporarily. Syanna and Anna Henrietta could reconcile. Regis could care for Detlaff. Win win
@@KainSpada09 More along the lines of temporarily imprison him until Syanna dies naturally (or unnaturally if her enemies get a hold of her) and then he’s free to live. Regis learned that as close as they were - he could NOT stop Detlaff from seeking revenge. As long as he was alive - he would never stop attacking Beauclair to get back at Syanna and when you can summon minions to do it for you? He didn’t have much of a choice. I really sympathized with Regis/Detlaff - DETLAFF WAS RIGHT TO WANT HER DEAD, she is a menace! But to let him live was to harm Geralt/Damian and to turn a blind eye on the innocents (and not so innocent) who were massacred. Syanna getting off basically Scott free is EVIL.
I always knew Regis would never betray Geralt. It's clear from his personality and manner of speech. What I didn't expect was for Regis to have the balls to actually kill Dettlaff
Regis was a true bro. I can't recall Geralt embracing any character outside of the women in his life in any of the games at least... I found Geralt's "friends" a bit annoying, Dandelion etc felt like a bunch of hangers on by living off Geralt's abilities. Whereas Regis in Blood and Wine felt like far more of a friend on equal terms.
Geralt: This honor is great and all, but we both know what I really want ;) Anna: Wine? Geralt: No... Anna: Coin? Geralt: No... Anna: I'm not going to have sex wi- Geralt: GWENT?
Letting Detlaff kill Syanna is the best ending imo. Syanna, the real monster in this story gets killed by who she manipulated, he gets his revenge and closure, he leaves thus stopping the murders in Toussaint, Regis keeps his blood brother and friend, Regis isn’t outcast by his own kind. This game is so genius that the seemingly worst ending can look like the best if you think about it. Only down side is that you miss the awesome boss fight.
This DLC conflicts me, it seems both of em dying the best outcome? So many innocent people of tousssint including the royal douchess guards are being slaughtered over a personal grudge.
Nah, I prefer this one. It’s sucks that Regis has to go into hiding because he’s a bro but Syanna explains her side pretty well. She was always considered an outcast because of some theory and she only ever sought revenge on the knights that abused her as a child and left her for dead in the woods, she also explains how Detlaff was incredibly intense in the relationship and it was hard to end because he didn’t understand human relationships so she just disappeared to get away from him. I didn’t feel bad killing him after he just butchered a whole city too so.
a lot of ppl mostly try going for the greater good but really indulging characters you like is way more fun, plus vamps and witchers lead long lives so more chances of it paying off
The problem I have is that at anytime, Dettlaff could have just let it go. Appeal to the better man that Regis knew him to be, but whether or not the lie had broken him or the despair of never really having known the only woman he ever loved, is not relevant. At the end of the day he could have been a better person than Syanna. But as much as it breaks Regis' heart (and trust me Regis by the end of this is the only one I really give two shits about), Dettlaff had become a monster. If he could have forgiven, I would have had no qualms about letting him go. However he couldn't. But Syanna can let her hatred go. This proves it. I am looking to issues of recidivism. Syanna isn't going to hurt anyone else and can be punished for her crimes. Dettlaff couldn't be beyond what he instigates when he doesn't get his way. Don't take that to mean that I don't empathize more with Dettlaff than I do Syanna. Because I feel far worse for him than her. But feelings don't change the facts. Also if you don't kill Dettlaff you'll never see the noblest man of them all... The Shelter Keeper. "And you help them why?" "...Because they need help." All through out Blood and Wine you see the pillar of the Five Virtues not in the Knights but in the Peasants around Toussaint. I could list them but there are plenty of examples. People who don't look out for themselves but for others... and they're the ones I most remember from this expansion.
You act as if they had not set this up from the beginning though. Dettlaff never judged the world in subtle details, he was also much more emotional than normal humans. Syanna knew this well and planned to use him in her plans. Unfortunately for her, she was not as smart as she thought and got discovered. I am honestly shocked about how many people forgive Syanna for her crimes just because Dettlaff did something worse. People do understand that it is possible to punish more than one person? Syanna should have received a harsh punishment. She has just as much blame as Dettlaff for inviting an unstable high vampire to the party through manipulation and deception.
Very true. B&W is not about a blamegame, but rather about a seemingly endless cycle of spite, hatred and revenge which drags people in, who in turn keep this cycle going. When Syanna chooses to put her life on the line to save the city, forgive her sister and undergo trial, that is the moment when she breaks this cycle. Detlaff is to the point where he can not do such thing anymore. He will not even attempt to listen, let alone forgive, Syanna (what did he even need 3 days for, then?), will attack Geralt when she disappears and Regis if he protects him, will face not even a mock trial if he gets away. And this is why this ending is the best one, because it truly brings this toxic cycle to an end in a natural way.
Syanna and Dettlaff are both tragic characters. I'm definitely more sympathetic toward Syanna, though. She was tormented by everyone around her just because of a lousy myth, then abused, exiled, r*ped (as a child, no less), and left for dead by the very knights who were supposed to _protect_ her. Imagine how badly that would mess with someone's head. Then she had to live her life as a bandit, scraping by, watching her sister live in the lap of luxury. Dettlaff is a vampire wandering in a world he doesn't understand and can't comprehend. That saddest part is, if Syanna simply asked him for help, he probably would've done it, but she was so broken by that point that being honest didn't even occur to her. For me, she earned my respect when she agreed to meet with Dettlaff. Syanna absolutely, 100% didn't have to face him, but you could tell she felt guilty. If Anna hadn't locked her up, it wouldn't have been a problem. Moreover, she only killed the men who directly hurt her. Dettlaff lost my sympathy when he attacked all of Bouclair. Even Regis chastised him for it: "Dettlaff, please. All this over one woman?" After seeing all the dead orphans, I knew Dettlaff had to die. He's a ticking time bomb. Naive and emotional. If you let him live, what happens the next time someone ticks him off? For me, the most unfortunate part of killing him ... is that Regis becomes a nethama and gets cast out. That's the only thing that made me regret my choice. Regis doesn't deserve to suffer for Dettlaff's mistakes.
@@Jesusaross If you're nice to her in the Land of Fables, she _heavily_ implies it by saying she was beaten and _abused_ by the knights. "Abused" in Medieval settings (and most period pieces) means raped. She also mentions her dress being torn after the fact. If you're rude to her, she doesn't mention this at all, likely because it's too personal and traumatic. She'll only talk about being beaten, but she won't talk about the abuse. When she found the bandits, she tells you she thought they'd rape her too, but when they didn't she learned "a bandit can be a better man than a knight". And if you sleep with her, she also mentions using Geralt "like so many men use women". It's very clear something horrible happened to her.
@@kirikakirikakirika Yea, I just finished the DLC with her telling me about the beatings and abuse. But I interpreted the abuse as in her being beaten and barely being fed. I don't think she was raped by those knights.
@@kirikakirikakirika Quote: "Syanna: When my parents disowned me, they ordered those very knights to escort me beyond the duchy's borders. All did so without uttering a single word in my defense. Geralt: Like you said, they had their orders… Syanna: Mhm. But Crespi was not ordered to beat me unconscious with a horsewhip after my first attempt at escape. And du Lac had no instructions to deny me food and abuse me. Syanna: I learned something then - knights are not so chivalrous when no one's watching."
@@Jesusaross There's three dialogue options that branch in different directions. That's only one of them. Also note that she separates "abuse" from being beaten and deprived of food, when in most cases that would already be considered abuse, making the word "abuse" redundant ... unless it means something else. And don't forget she also mentions her dress being torn and women feeling used by men. This is the typical language of a rape victim. Just the line "knights are not so chivalrous when no one's watching" is pretty dark and accusatory.
I think that this discussion of wich ending was "the best" is really interesting, here is my opinion on it: Syanna did what she did because she was severely abused while a child, so all that she knew was that pain and isolation, her life was ruined by those people from Toussaint. Since then, she wanted nothing but revenge, because she had nothing but pain and sourness. Not saying that she was right in doing so (especially the part of manipulating Detlaff), but she had very strong reasons for doing it. And, the plan was that only the knights who abused her would die. Annarietta didn't deserve to die, but Syanna didn't know that, in her mind she had betrayed her, and was as bad as the people who exiled her. Though, I think that Detlaff needed to die. He was used, thats true, but that doesn't excuses him for trying to destroy everyone in the city. His fight was only with Syanna. Even kids in the orphanage died in the slaughter. He proved that if he has a problem with someone, he can do horrible things to lots of inocent people, thus being a dangerous monster. Annarieta lived with the thought that she failed Syanna, and that this is why Syanna did all this bad things. Because of her. I believe that this is why Anna didn't send Syanna to the prison straight away, she felt guilty of what Syanna had become and had done, and wanted to show compassion for her, something that Syanna hadn't gotten from anyone but bandits. So yeah, I agree with this being the good ending. None of the three were perfect good guys, and they werent bad guys either. But, Detlaff's slaughter was uncalled for and he, unfortunately, showed to be more of a beast than a senscient being. A danger to other creatures. Whereas Syanna and Annarietta had strong reasons to do what they did.
Too bad we didn't get to see any of Regis's higher-level transforms. But I find it amazing how much emotion they were able to put into Regis's basic vampire face, particularly when he was hesitating over striking after he got Dettlaff down the first time before getting buried in rubble. The sorrow and conflict were just palpable!
This Detlaff really does remind me of Dracula (Castlevania): they’re both some of the most powerful vampires respectively, they didn’t exactly want violence and were pretty much driven mad by loss to an extent. Not to mention how nearly impossible to kill either of them and were ended by vampires (even though Alucard is half-vampire).
I mean sort of but it's not like an overwhelming majority choose Triss over Yen, so that wouldn't make any sense. I always thought Yen was the best ending because while I like Triss, whenever Triss and Geralt are together they seem a lot less like a couple that could live together while Yen and Geralt seem to always have a funny conversation or other things. Also I feel like being loyal to Yen but that is just my opinion.
I wish you could slap Triss for what she did. She's as manipulative as Syanna, except nobody dies. Triss' whole point is "I'm jealous that my best friend got a hot witcher as a bf so imma take him cuz he lost his memory lmao". Triss was a go go choice in the witcher one because canonically Yen died at the end of the book series, so it did make sense, but if you read the books you really dislike this kind of a replacement. Also, Shani was stupid too, considering a fact that she was mentioned briefly in the books, including a scene of Geralt sneaking into her room and fucking her immediately after.
Well not really considering how this end plays out A) He sent vampires to attack a town full of innocent people B) He attacks Geralt after Syanna vanishes Kinda brought the death on himself.
I know he was manipulated but that does not justify sending vampires to wipe out an enitire city. My favourite end is the one where both he and syanna die.
@@xLetalis And thank god I saved when you have to choose between rescuing Syanna or go to find the elder. I'll play that ending trying to make all the good choices (in this kind of games where you can choose, the first time always try to be good). But I'll do that when this I'm not depressed anymore due to the emptiness of finishing this game for the first time gave me.
I just realized that they could have just melted him to a puddle or something like that which would take him like 60 years to recover, because by then Annarietta and Syanna would've surely been ded and no one would be , so to say killed
I find it interesting just how like Dettlaff Syanna truly is. Like him, she's a very primal individual: one who has a hard time getting along with others, let alone being able to trust them. The way she talked made it seem that the only people she considered truly family was her little sister, in a sense the two of them could very well be considered a 'Pack' in the eyes of the Vampire race. And much like her former lover, she was consumed by her emotions when she was "betrayed" by not only the people around her, but by the one person she adored above all others.
Both also develop a wrong impression about the object of her love/hate Namely, Dettlaff wrongfully thinks that Syanna never loved him from the start, and Syanna wrongfully thinks that Anna forgot her and dit not care Just like there is an option for Syanna to at least realize the truth, I wish there was one for Dettlaff too
You can understand that Syanna is a bad person and still support this outcome. While I feel sorrier for Dettlaff for what he thought he was doing out of love... he couldn't be reasoned with in the end. You CAN bring Syanna back from the brink of sheer evil and madness. Whether that means she should be forgiven is entirely up to the individual player. I can't. But then again, I am also not willing to swing the sword either and end her life and so I reserve my judgement.
I always choose this ending for Geralt's sake. Tired of him being treated badly by most people. About time he gets the true respect he deserves, even if he detests ceremonies.
as somebody who doesn't have a very good relationship with my sister, i liked this ending. they're both traumatized and angry at each other, but they love each other deep down and are on their way toward healing their relationship
I wish our bizzare couple had a chance to make up. I truly feel Syana loved Detlaff, but not more than she loathed her sister. I also feel that Detlaff, if given a chance to hear her out, would have let her live because he loved her dearly as well. If they didn't end up together then so be it, but at least they should both know the other did in fact love them once.
Say what you want, but this the best ending imo. Both Dettlaff and Syanna were victims at first, but both also chose to carry out evil on their own once they were put in a bad situation. Their stories mirror each other. But at the end of the day, one proves she can let go of her hatred, take her responsabilities, forgive and accept to face trial, the other just lashes out at everyone, and that is his downfall.
She has to be convinced, after all of that she still wished to do evil. Dettlaff and syanna are both evil, but syanna is much worse because she turned dettlaff into the person he is.
My canon ending, though I'm not sure whether or not I like it better than the one where Dettlaff survives - th-cam.com/video/XBEPy-tutsI/w-d-xo.html - I called this one "The Best" since it's definitely the hardest one to achieve.
I think that the bad ending aka "death to all" is the -best- most fitting/realistic: 1) Syanna who was the mastermind behind all the tragedy dies for her actions, 2) Dettlaff, despite according to Regis being kind at the bottom of heart but "too emotionally unstable", killed at least half of Beauclair and did not seem to care much about Regis' request to end this madness.... Bottom line is he crossed the line. 3) As for Duchess well, she had to open her eyes and see what her sister was really like, plus because of her character being as annoying as that of Emhyr... Despite all I do pity Regis, after all he did not wish for the whole bloodshed. Anyway good job uploading all these videos and let us hope that CDPR will make another Witcher game with Ciri being the main character but Geralt also making several cameos P.S. As I see you prefer Triss over Yen (just noticed)
I really do not get the arguement about Anna deserving death. The worst thing she did was mock Geralt for not finding Dettlaff and was blind to how bad her sister was which seems like human nature to me. Neither of those even remotely deserve death. She is a well loved ruler in Toussaint and without her chaos could ensue. The most fitting end imo is Syanna and Dettlaff dead.
+BeautyIsJustAMask nah Dettlaf deserves not only his revenge on syanna but also to be let go, to me, at least for the greater half of the game, Dettlaf was the victim
He was a victim until he sent vampires to murder an ENTIRE city, that is far worse than what Syanna did. He is also now consumed by rage which is why Regis sides with you, he needs to be put down.
*I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO* That line. There is just so much emotion behind that voice. Mark Noble needs a raise. Regis is a masterpiece of a character with his voice
@@Pilafcg Another ignorant Triss hater who completely ignored the fact that she was willing to go through torture for both Dandelion and Ciri, that Yen was actually willing to let that Lodge use Ciri as well with Ciri's only demand that Yennefer have a seat in the Lodge as well. And the only reason Ciri wasn't used is because Geralt had "died" and ciri was allowed to say goodbye prior to that so she could escape. So yeah I can see why you flew away so you wouldn't have to listen to facts.
Best ending is where everyone dies. - Anna is an annoying duchess that can't think rationally even ready to give up her subjects for her sister's sake - Syanna, whatever she feels murder is still wrong - Detlaff, attacking and killing a whole city full of innocent people Both Regis ending are good, - If he kill detlaff he will be hunted by vampires but he can still escape to the north and knowing Regis he'll manage. - If he spare detlaff he'll still be the regis we know living in peace.
Im glad im not the only one who thinks like that , I never got the "good" ending because I refuse to show mercy on syanna she was the worst! Detlaff was a Victim but he still murdered tons of innocents so he deserves punishment too and I liked anna until the whole " yeah he can kill the whole town but im not giving her my psycho murderer sister" so yeah she also deserves what she gets lol.
@@morrisond721 I agree, although I sympathize with Detlaff - he was tricked, then got enraged when he found out. Killing innocents is very bad, but you have to concider the fact that vampires think differently then humans. For me best ending is to let him kill Syanna and let him go.
People who say the "murder is wrong, so Syanna should die" are just people who hate her and can't find a real reason. I mean, she fooled a vampire to kill 4 child abusers (a vampire who would kill hundreds of innocents if he's not given what he wants), how can that be considered evil?
Dettlaff is fucking evil he is ready to kill a whole fucking town just because one person broke his hearth the fuckkk i slayed that blood sucker with pleasure i hate vampires
I don't understand why Regis had to kill Dettlaff. Just put him into a vampire-proof cage (or remove head and add a stake through heart) and let him cool off for 60 years. By then Syanna will be long dead and Dettlaff might be more sensible (Regis had a change of heart during his 50-year long stay in the grave). Far better option than 'You have kill-on-sight mark' for Regis.
Yeah honestly punishing them all BUT without killing them and giving a second chance (they all show hints they can redeem themselves) would have been the best ending for all
It's the worst ending for Regis, lost his blood-bound brother friend (Dettlaff), got the hate of the other vampires who want to kill him now, Syanna still lives, although she was the reason for the whole tragedy and Regis hates her the most, and he got exiled from a whole region (Toussaint). And yet Syanna is still a villain, she's an Alfa, she ruled a whole group of bandits, she lived all her past life as a villain, won't change in one night, she will never accept to sit down quite and be ruled by her little sister, sooner or later she will seek the throne, and likely to kill Anna if she to not surrender it peacefully. The all lose ending is a just for all, Geralt got the least losses tho (I'm selfish her). When all (Dettlaff, Syanna and Anna) are dead - (killing Anna is unjustified, but she's too trusting, even she knew her villain angry sister is behind all the catastrophic tragedies, and that she is seeking her demise, she still offer her clemency without any punishment or restrictions, this is insanely unfair),,, Geralt doesn't go to jail, fulfills his contract best (killed the beast and brought back Syanna unharmed) and got paid, he still loses his allies in the dutchy (Anna Henrietta dies and new unknown rulers will be there), and Regis got exiled.
The ending I got was when the Duchess was murdered by her sister then the guards killed her. It ended with a big funeral for the duchess and nobody mourning the sister expect for Geralt (Cuz I chose to pay respect to both of them)
as a game Witcher 3 isn't impressive, but speaking of a storyteller, god, witcher 3 is good. The plots, the characters, the dialogues just echoing in my head even days after I played it through.
Oh boy, all the hate in the comments about Yenenfer and Triss in all of Letalis's videos.. I know I'm months late if not years but guys, theres a thing called "difference of opinion" and its a healthy thing. I personally prefer Yen a hundred times over, even though I still like Triss. Reasons I like her? -she's chic and sassy -best sarcastic comments in the game -will even defile sacred ground if it helps those she loves, she gets shit done for them -has created a mask, pretends to be invincible, indifferent and flawless but will still drop it when she's with Geralt and Ciri, shes a cuddly ball of insecurities
I'm not sure I see the "hate" you refer to, but I personally didn't like Yennifer because she's unbelievably disrespectful to literally everyone, including those she cares about. It becomes hard to empathize with a character when she shits on everyone in almost every scene with little justification or provocation. Geralt and Lambert are also disrespectful in their own ways, but they have traits that are visible to the player to make up for this shortcoming. CDPR didn't see fit to have any of Yennifer's positive traits shine through in this game, which I think is a shame, but it is what it is. Shani is best anyway, let's be honest. lol
Y'all out here fighting who is better and I was left alone at the end cause I romanced both. When I met Triss, she was lovely and so caring - how could I not Romance her...then came Yennefer's Last Wish and I felt that she truly loves me for finding that djinn so I even Romanced her. I never knew that there were no chances of correcting or choosing Geralt's relationship status later in the game and damn I was left alone. I wish that Red Projekt had given a chance to sort it out in the ending stage. But guess what, I still got Roach with me - always loyal.
5:30 So... in my book, Dettlaff wins right there. He literally sinks his fangs into Geralt and rips out his throat with a roar of victory. I'm not sure why CDPR put that in because it looks like shit to keep fighting after that.
I can't treat this ending like the best one fairly, because the sister was really guilty for this whole event. Dadlaff is a monster she draw to the country intentionally. Well I guess every happy ending of fairy tales got untold darkness behind.
I always spare Dettlaff now due to not wanting to hurt Regis. He says he'll go far from humans so I also use that and the "witchers are neutral" excuse to justify it
That they are.... about humans. Monsters are a separate subject, and Dettlaff was specifically in Witcher's contract. Sparing him is not being a "neutral witcher", it's being an "incapable witcher".
Wish there was an ending with both sisters dead and Detlaff lives. I thought you have to let Syanna live to fight Detlaff. If I knew you could still fight Detlaff and let Syanna die. I would've gone for that instead.
I think they know how to create perfect drama in their stories. Suddenly felt i might even cry. Maybe it felt that strong because Anna and Sylvia's relationship drama resonates with me so similarly. Oh well.
Cant believe i was just one "correct" answer away from the "forgiving end" - everyone died in my first playthrough. At least i got Yen at Corvo Bianco. Only thing i miss in the conversation with Yen though: Wanna go behind the bushes? ;)
You know the game is masterfully written when the entirety of the comment section is people discussing what ending is better, who was right or wrong, or if anyone was either at all!
Always bugged me that the dress in the guest room isn't the one Triss wore to the ball. You even had dialog referencing it and still they put some random dress there!
People say that its a good idea to start with ciri in witcher 4 , but i personally want geralt always ,seems like he made a special bond with us all ,gamers . There's no ending here of geralt , i want him in the next series
As much as we all love Geralt, this is the ending of his story. Like he says in his conversation with Regis, he's earned a rest. It would be awesome to have Geralt appear in the next Witcher game, but I feel like this is a great way for his story to end.
@@DariusOfPersia well we and geralt have already rested a lot , it wouldn't hurt anyone if he would return again in the next game , the whole book , stories goes around him , his quests adventure etc. so i never accepted the fact that his story has ended.
@@jaanu2222 It's hard to imagine a Witcher game without Geralt, but we'll have to get used to it. CDPR has already said that whenever the next Witcher game comes out, it won't be about Geralt. I'd still love it if he made an appearance, though.
@@DariusOfPersia well we'll see what their plans after cyberpunk , they're currently focused on it and a small team started on the next witcher but i guess in 2022 we'll going to see a new game.
On my first play i had this ending, but i loaded back to let Dettlaff live. I didn't do it because i liked Dettlaff so much, only because that's what a friend who risked turning into a slag wanted.
I felt to much bad for Syanna. The game sensors the line a bit but she got raped and all. She could not make bonds, she actually loved Detlaff, but was to afraid to make bonds, move on and have a life (she says that), she've already accepted her "uselessness" to the world just wanted to die but before... Revenge, she accepted her that much before list everything for a drip of wine just to get a last pleasure. Her story is just a bunch of unfortunate events, and lack of therapy hehe, that was not yet developed. Everyone here is a victim in a way. I feel sorry for Ana as well, imagine being a kid facing a hole "Senate", nervous, seeing your sister getting punished, the king, the nobles, ministers, everyone is angry, everyone staring at you what would you do? Well that's why I love the witcher.

Triss: Just a Moment

Ironically, my game pretty much ended here, since I had cleared every possible thing in alll other areas - nothing else left to do, after slightly less than 300 hours
yes
That was one of the only game breaking things about TW3. I left Yen on the shores of Skellige for months of in game time whilst I explored, did side quests and played Gwent with random folk. Kinda spoils the immersion a little but then again it's the player's choice to do that!!!
That's what I'm doing now
@@TheFranssiBrother more liking riding a boat for day to collect treasure in skillige then walking back like you shat yourself
The only consolation in terms of Detlaff's death is that in his Character entry, it's written that he did not blame Regis in his final moments, and knew this is the best way because he did not want to live anymore anyway
Shits, well if I knew that it woulda made my decision making a lot easier...
That is so goddamn depressing, i never actually bothered reading the entry... Poor Detlaff
Yeah, makes sense. Detlaff got fooled by Syanna, killed hundreds of innocents just for her, and strained his friendship with Regis. During the chat with Detlaff at the party, he implies that even he knows that what he is doing is wrong.
Detlaff being dead sucks. I still feel as though this 'good ending' is actually the worst ending. The only one who suffers in this ending is Regis. Which is hardly fair, seeing how hard he worked to try and save everyone. I much prefer th ending I got, which was Syanna, Anna and Detlaff die. They all deserved it in my opinion. Petty, the lot of them.
@@NightQueen01 aah fuck it I have completed the game 4 times... First time I saved dutchess sister and she killed the duchess... For the 3 consecutive times I let the sister die... Duchess, Dettlaff, Regis all safe... Fuck the sister for all i care
Ugh. I just love how when Syanna says to Geralt "you really want a happy ending don't you?", the game is essentially breaking the fourth wall and speaking to the player. I remember in my first playthrough, by this point I felt emotionally exhausted (dramatic, I know) hoping that my in-game decisions would not lead to a tragic ending, and when Syanna said this I was like "why are you calling me out like this CDPR?!"
:D well said
Sadly i killed Henrietta with choices so i will go back to the last checkpoint lol 😅
As much as I like that it kinda feels bullshit that because of one word Dialogue you get them both killed,when I saw finally honesty choice dialogue it meant for me that there was a tense conversation incoming since Syanna was lying the whole time,but nope even if i told Annarietta to forgive her she ended up dying idk...Was I the only one baited into that dialogue choice ?
@@kurokoedits1250 which dialogue choice are you referring to, is it the one I was talking about? Because, if you get to that point in the conversation, I believe, you're pretty much out of the woods; It's been a while since I last played so I could be misremembering.

There should have been an option where we suggest Regis to go to Kovir
As Triss is the royal advisor and city is filled with Mages; no vampire will try to attack it or risk exposure
Whereas Regis can live under our protection (even become an advisor to king himself) and we can meet him in Kovir
would've been good ;]
Honestly I'd like to see Kovirian Witchers
@@xLetalis going to Kovir would have been great
Maybe someone with a grudge against Geralt attacks him or kills/wounds someone he cares about or won't stop spreading chaos until Geralt comes to Kovir
As for a contract idea, maybe a curse is ravaging Kovir and Geralt is hired along with others to deal with it, chance for another Witcher to appear maybe
Bruh as i was reading ur message came to a point where u wrote Regis to go to Kovir and triss in video said in same time i read it "Kovir" i was like damn im a witcher myself.
I'm not going to lie I wished one ending was that you would reason with detlaff and he would let you cut his head off and fake his death because Regis would regenerate him and everyone acts cool about everything
I really adore how Anna tickled Syanna before the hug
As apposed to the hair pin in the back?! Yeah Syanna is just effing delightful.
@Egill Skallagrímsson This was the best possible outcome for the sisters and for the kingdom. We cant deny fact that Syanna murdered 4 people and caused the vampire uprising, she has to be punished. But this is better than the worst outcome, and that is the sisters died and the kingdom falling into disarray. Killing Detlaff and Regis leaving is not ideal but the other alternative is worse.
@Egill Skallagrímsson Agree. Witcher 3 story telling is just so masterful. Looking forward to more stuff from cd red project.

@@jthomcres I wish I was like Regis.
@@fibo4108 then fuckoff
Dettlaff is my favorite
I will never understand why geralt and regis didn’t just destroy detlafs body and have him regenerate over the next century. That would have solved all their problems. The duchess and her sister would have been dead by then and it is a fitting punishment for him.
Wow good point. His petty drama with humans would be irrelevant, all the ones he knew would be long dead. Although maybe he'd still take it out on the city.
He didn’t want to live anyways, he behaved like a simp. Just as embarrassing as the guy who croons over Vivenne.
For real what a plot hole
Reis might have still swore vengeance on the world and humans and Geralt might dead by then and there certainly would be no more witchers to help deal with Detlaff should he go on a rampage. Detlaff had to be put down
I feel incredibly sorry for Regis in this ending. He clearly didn't want things to end this way, my poor baby ;-;
There's no real happy ending, either Detlaff walks, something Regis is not happy with ("What have we done?") are his words.
But, Regis is likely suffering immense grief.
@@wizardswine Regis is eternally conflicted, he's an incredibly moral being in the body of a species that generally has little empathy (something he is painfully aware of) surrounded and trying to live among a species that is capable of empathy but also even greater callousness and capriciousness than his own kind.
Regis' decision to end Dethlaff was an immense choice and sacrifice for Regis to take!
For Vampires, to kill one of their own is seen as one of the greatest crimes in their society!
Add up to that: Dethlaff actually revived Regis from the féw remains left of him after the Vilgefortz-ordeal: Dethlaff went through a lot of trouble and effort to achieve Regis' ressurection!
Regis OWED Dethlaff his life!
If you think about it, the Forgiveness ending is very fitting for Geralt, since it can be considered a redemption for him. His whole adventure began when he earned his title the “Butcher of Blaviken” and killing Renfri. Granted, he only mentioned her once in Blood and Wine, but the whole quest is pretty much revolving around the event that started his story. CDPR’s epilogue for Geralt’s journey isn’t just a hunt against a higher vampire, but something far more internal: To not fail again when he had on Renfri.
Bruh I agree 💯 that is exactly how I saw it when I chose this ending. And besides both Anna and Syanna were horrible people but in truth I felt like the reason why they were like this is because they were actually children in adult bodies.
It began with the Curse of The Black Sun (Renfri), and ended with it (Syanna). What that ending was? That's for you to decide... I went for forgiveness! There is magic in sincere forgiveness, magic to heal, in the forgiveness you receive and more so in the forgiveness you give.
@@sherry356I'm doing a play through where I'm forcing myself to make choices I normally don't make (Not saving Olgeird, Hjlammer becoming king) and I gotta say man, you are making me feel like hot garbage for the BOW ending I'm about to get
I like how syanna says "you really want a happy ending, do you".
Geralt has been through so much depressing stuff always ending in misery. He wants his last contract to end happily.
For Geralt it's not about the money anymore.
indeed
I know it's technically the best possible ending, but... it feels so bitter, that Regis is now an outcast from his own kind, for trying to save a foolish friend.
Just the same I feel bad for Detlaff - basicly a victim of a hatred and spite brewed for years. And then? He acted as any man with a broken heart - gone mad with grief.
agreed
+2xucan I get the feeling you think you'd never abuse power if you had it.
Well, we would'n act like Detlaff. We're humans, he's a vampire. As Regis stated, he's more animal-like, thinking like a pack leader. We can't exactly measure his actions as we'd measure actions of a human. I still belive that all this situation is fault of the royal sisters only - Syanna knew that she's dealing with a extremely dangerous being that thought patterns cannot be comprehend fully, and still tried to play him just to enact a petty revenge.
So for me, Detlaff is as much of a victim in all of this as anyone else
You say, we're humans, we wouldn't act like Detlaff. But if you look at what happens in slaughterhouses, you'll see we act the same. Humans are for vampires only domestic livestock, like cows and pigs for the most humans. We misuse our power not less.
But few humans would fall in love with a cow.
you know, i believe the two "good" endings (a.k.a. the ones where Anarietta doesn't die), are a perfect synthesis of the Witcher's way of looking at the world
as Geralt once said, he is not a mindless slayer, he kills only the monsters that are too dangerous and stupid to coexist, that is why he rarely kills sentient monsters (unless they are too deranged). Putting into his words, "Witchers protect both worlds, humans and monsters".
And in those two endings, you, as many other times, have to choose which side to take.
Side with the humans, sparing Syanna and convincing her to forgive Anarietta. Everyone in Toussaint is all happy and bubbly, the beloved Duchess and her loving sister together leading Toussaint towards a radiant future...but at the price of killing a sentient monster, that because of his inhuman nature was not able to understand the subtileties of a potentially evil human mind and thus too easily swayed, and the voluntary exile of another one, that you ended up befriending, branded an outcast by his own kin, for being forced to put a stop to a deranged developement
Side with the monsters, letting Syanna be killed. The "villain", after all, understands he has done wrong for he was swayed, and leaves for good Toussaint, freeing the city of the vampire terror; furthermore, another sentient monster is not forced to take actions against his own kin, and can keep living peacefully. And yet, a human life was taken, a sister will never see her sibling anymore, nor will she ever be able to cope with the double loss of that dear person; the townsfolk will not see a resolution, since the "beast" was not "slain", thus still keeping that fear in the back of their hearts. And again, your inactivity resulted in the death of a human, a human that you were tasked to save, that you strove to save till the very end...
This is why The Witcher is an awesome universe. As the lady from the orphanage said, there is never only black or white, and rarely you can ever get a true "good" ending
There is one more option. After Dettlaff kills Syana, you can kill Dettlaff. And I would vote for this as the best ending out of those we're offered.
Dettlaff has gone too far. He didn't really give Syana a fair hearing, broke the word of his friend Regis, and left Geralt in a very bad -- possibly fatal -- situation with the duchess despite all Regis and Geralt tried to do for him. He arranged the incredible loss of life and property in Beauclair of his own free will. (And it was bad. Listen to the herald outside the armorer's later, and walk through Beauclair to see all the reconstruction and listen to the citizens.) There's no guarantee that he won't be a danger in the future, either, despite what he says. Dettlaff just can't be allowed to walk away from all that, despite the sympathy one feels for him. Even Regis agrees, though he has his own peculiar vampirish reasons for why he cooperated in bringing Dettlaff down in this scenario.
Likewise it hardly seems just for Syana to be completely forgiven and spend the rest of her life living like royalty at the duchy's expense, trading on her victimization. Perhaps death is too harsh a punishment, but it's the only one available. At least two of the knights she had killed were not really evil men, though Crespi, at least, was a waste of oxygen. And she is directly responsible for the deaths of more than just those four knights. What about the singer whose throat was cut by a man acting on her orders? What about those killed by the bandits under her command? She made a conscious decision of her own free will to become a human monster, and there's no guarantee that she won't be a danger to anyone in the future. I don't think it's right to allow her to walk away from all that, despite the sympathy one feels for her.
As for the duchess, though she is not in a class with Radovid or Emhyr, she is a horrible, irresponsible ruler. If it wouldn't throw the duchy into complete disarray, I wouldn't mourn her death overmuch. Being driven out of the duchy by an outraged peasantry would work for me, but I guess they're happy with their misrule. So she gets a pass despite my having very little sympathy for her.
Stick to the motto of the Witcher. Syanna and Detlaff were both evil, only differing in their contribution to the deaths. One was the orchestrator while the other was just a tool. Both of them needed to die imo. And tbh Anarietta is a bitch living in a child's daydream while ruling a vast duchy.
I originally posted this under another comment, but when I read this thread I thought it would be just as fitting here. Fair warning: long winded diatribe to follow. TL;DR at the bottom.
Blood and Wine is the only case I've ever encountered where I consider everyone dying to be the best ending. Syanna had to die for orchestrating the murder of five people including her own sister. Dettlaff had to die for burning Beauclaire to the ground.
Anna Henrietta is a slightly different case. She protected her psychopath of a sister over the people she was sworn to defend. I get it. She loved her sister, but the people wouldn't have seen it that way. There would've been a viscous, bloody revolt.
Anna Henrietta was still very well liked at the time, so her death would've been mourned instead of celebrated, stabilizing the situation before further blood was shed.
The main quest of Blood and Wine is a classic tragedy through and through, but it also shows that some good can come from all the pain. The "bad" ending fits perfectly with the tone of the expansion, whereas letting Dettlaff kill Syanna just leaves you feeling empty, and the forgiveness ending feels so out of the blue that it left me scratching my head wondering what just happened, while also not resolving Syanna's story. We don't get to see what happens to her after the trial. We don't even hear the verdict.
TL;DR, I think CDPR dropped the ball with the "good" ending, and the one where everyone dies is much better from a story perspective.
dettlaff didnot deserve to die... :(

The way Geralt stops and looks towards us... instant nostalgia, and i just finished the game. That was a stroke of genius! The third game of this series was perfection: the characters, the lines, the story (i liked the companions quests and the expansions the most, they had more soul), the world, the moral dilemmas. Thank you for all your uploads.
Damn it’s goosebumps every second ):
we will get another witcher game no doubt, could be a prequel? another witcher school? a game where you play as vesemir and show the relationship between Geralt and the school. either way im excited.
45:40 i have a feeling that Geralts thoughts are "you better find a new protagonist because im way to old for this shit"
And that's what CDPR is exactly gonna do
Going by the fact that this marks the end of geralts ending, and if CDPR ever make another witcher game in the future...
+BetaZXZ story* not ending
@@BetaZXZAnd coming back to this, 7 years later, CDPR did confirm that if they ever make another Witcher game, it won't be with Geralt
If I lived in a world like this I'd never leave toussaint
Go to france.....
Am I crazy. please call me wrong for this but is 4 counts of murder really being washed away by a tickle and a hug. Yes its Detlaff who did the murders but is syanna who made it all happen.
Henri Mahieu IMO the dutchess is short sighted and sometimes selfish, like in one ending imprisoning geralt for the death of syanna. I think that she was selfish because sure, syanna died, but I still killed detlaff and ended the murders
@@guardian9832 That's what happens in that ending?
WWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW. I'd be more than a bit miffed. Like, "sometimes heads just roll" kind of miffed.
Thats how it works in real life too, you think your elites pay for their murders?
Snoop dog and o.j simpson both walked away free from murders

yea it is ... powerful

38:07 Anna Henrietta remembered how ticklish Syanna was whenever she touches her hips. Look at the slight grin that she made before she decided to tickle Syanna and reinvigorate the sisterly love that the two once shared when they were children. Syanna felt surprised at first, and angry even. But then, partly thanks to her conversation with Geralt earlier, she decided to forgive her sister because she realised that, all this time, her sister never forgets her.
Boy i wish there was an ending where the whole thing could go off without anyone dying
And I wish there was an ending where only Detlaff survives
A true happily ever after. We could lock Detlaff in the cage Kagmar was stuck in/Regis was in temporarily. Syanna and Anna Henrietta could reconcile. Regis could care for Detlaff. Win win
@@elizabethalderman8749 this I find interesting. Regis in that way can perhaps tame dettlaff to stray from his animalistic instincts
@@KainSpada09 More along the lines of temporarily imprison him until Syanna dies naturally (or unnaturally if her enemies get a hold of her) and then he’s free to live. Regis learned that as close as they were - he could NOT stop Detlaff from seeking revenge. As long as he was alive - he would never stop attacking Beauclair to get back at Syanna and when you can summon minions to do it for you? He didn’t have much of a choice. I really sympathized with Regis/Detlaff - DETLAFF WAS RIGHT TO WANT HER DEAD, she is a menace! But to let him live was to harm Geralt/Damian and to turn a blind eye on the innocents (and not so innocent) who were massacred. Syanna getting off basically Scott free is EVIL.
There was though. Allow detlaff kill syanna. This leaves Arianna grieving , detlaff alive and Regis not exiled.
These two talking like having Zoltan as a room mate wouldn't be fucking amazing.
It wouldn't be if you're trying to leave the nuts hanging out all the time.
I actually thought Regis will betray Geralt at some point. glad it didn't turned out that way
thankfully!
Same here. Was actually hoping for it just for the plot twist and he would have been the best villain
The first time I saw him, I knew he's an absolute bro. Never doubted ma boi Regis
I always knew Regis would never betray Geralt. It's clear from his personality and manner of speech. What I didn't expect was for Regis to have the balls to actually kill Dettlaff
same
Regis was a true bro. I can't recall Geralt embracing any character outside of the women in his life in any of the games at least... I found Geralt's "friends" a bit annoying, Dandelion etc felt like a bunch of hangers on by living off Geralt's abilities. Whereas Regis in Blood and Wine felt like far more of a friend on equal terms.
yes
Geralt: This honor is great and all, but we both know what I really want ;)
Anna: Wine?
Geralt: No...
Anna: Coin?
Geralt: No...
Anna: I'm not going to have sex wi-
Geralt: GWENT?
Anna: *nods*
45:43 Did Gerald just look at us players and smile ? OMG this is one of the best 4th wall break ever !
yes!
I screenshoted that smile when I played it!
Letting Detlaff kill Syanna is the best ending imo. Syanna, the real monster in this story gets killed by who she manipulated, he gets his revenge and closure, he leaves thus stopping the murders in Toussaint, Regis keeps his blood brother and friend, Regis isn’t outcast by his own kind. This game is so genius that the seemingly worst ending can look like the best if you think about it. Only down side is that you miss the awesome boss fight.
that may be the case...
This DLC conflicts me, it seems both of em dying the best outcome?
So many innocent people of tousssint including the royal douchess guards are being slaughtered over a personal grudge.
Nah, I prefer this one. It’s sucks that Regis has to go into hiding because he’s a bro but Syanna explains her side pretty well. She was always considered an outcast because of some theory and she only ever sought revenge on the knights that abused her as a child and left her for dead in the woods, she also explains how Detlaff was incredibly intense in the relationship and it was hard to end because he didn’t understand human relationships so she just disappeared to get away from him. I didn’t feel bad killing him after he just butchered a whole city too so.
a lot of ppl mostly try going for the greater good but really indulging characters you like is way more fun, plus vamps and witchers lead long lives so more chances of it paying off
I got the ending where Detlaff dies and anna henriatta dies as well I actualy loved it only downside is the Regis has to leave Touissant
The problem I have is that at anytime, Dettlaff could have just let it go. Appeal to the better man that Regis knew him to be, but whether or not the lie had broken him or the despair of never really having known the only woman he ever loved, is not relevant. At the end of the day he could have been a better person than Syanna. But as much as it breaks Regis' heart (and trust me Regis by the end of this is the only one I really give two shits about), Dettlaff had become a monster. If he could have forgiven, I would have had no qualms about letting him go. However he couldn't. But Syanna can let her hatred go. This proves it. I am looking to issues of recidivism. Syanna isn't going to hurt anyone else and can be punished for her crimes. Dettlaff couldn't be beyond what he instigates when he doesn't get his way. Don't take that to mean that I don't empathize more with Dettlaff than I do Syanna. Because I feel far worse for him than her. But feelings don't change the facts.
Also if you don't kill Dettlaff you'll never see the noblest man of them all... The Shelter Keeper.
"And you help them why?"
"...Because they need help."
All through out Blood and Wine you see the pillar of the Five Virtues not in the Knights but in the Peasants around Toussaint. I could list them but there are plenty of examples. People who don't look out for themselves but for others... and they're the ones I most remember from this expansion.
You act as if they had not set this up from the beginning though. Dettlaff never judged the world in subtle details, he was also much more emotional than normal humans. Syanna knew this well and planned to use him in her plans. Unfortunately for her, she was not as smart as she thought and got discovered. I am honestly shocked about how many people forgive Syanna for her crimes just because Dettlaff did something worse. People do understand that it is possible to punish more than one person? Syanna should have received a harsh punishment. She has just as much blame as Dettlaff for inviting an unstable high vampire to the party through manipulation and deception.
@@SecondToYears are you surprised? The other two endings are full of people that forgive Deatlaff because they feel that Siana was worse.
You can see the shelter keeper if you don't kill Dettlaff. Just for clarification.
Very true. B&W is not about a blamegame, but rather about a seemingly endless cycle of spite, hatred and revenge which drags people in, who in turn keep this cycle going.
When Syanna chooses to put her life on the line to save the city, forgive her sister and undergo trial, that is the moment when she breaks this cycle.
Detlaff is to the point where he can not do such thing anymore. He will not even attempt to listen, let alone forgive, Syanna (what did he even need 3 days for, then?), will attack Geralt when she disappears and Regis if he protects him, will face not even a mock trial if he gets away.
And this is why this ending is the best one, because it truly brings this toxic cycle to an end in a natural way.
Syanna and Dettlaff are both tragic characters. I'm definitely more sympathetic toward Syanna, though. She was tormented by everyone around her just because of a lousy myth, then abused, exiled, r*ped (as a child, no less), and left for dead by the very knights who were supposed to _protect_ her. Imagine how badly that would mess with someone's head. Then she had to live her life as a bandit, scraping by, watching her sister live in the lap of luxury.
Dettlaff is a vampire wandering in a world he doesn't understand and can't comprehend. That saddest part is, if Syanna simply asked him for help, he probably would've done it, but she was so broken by that point that being honest didn't even occur to her.
For me, she earned my respect when she agreed to meet with Dettlaff. Syanna absolutely, 100% didn't have to face him, but you could tell she felt guilty. If Anna hadn't locked her up, it wouldn't have been a problem. Moreover, she only killed the men who directly hurt her.
Dettlaff lost my sympathy when he attacked all of Bouclair. Even Regis chastised him for it: "Dettlaff, please. All this over one woman?"
After seeing all the dead orphans, I knew Dettlaff had to die. He's a ticking time bomb. Naive and emotional. If you let him live, what happens the next time someone ticks him off?
For me, the most unfortunate part of killing him ... is that Regis becomes a nethama and gets cast out. That's the only thing that made me regret my choice. Regis doesn't deserve to suffer for Dettlaff's mistakes.
Where did you get the notion that she was raped as a child? I never heard or read anything of the matter in the game.
@@Jesusaross
If you're nice to her in the Land of Fables, she _heavily_ implies it by saying she was beaten and _abused_ by the knights. "Abused" in Medieval settings (and most period pieces) means raped. She also mentions her dress being torn after the fact. If you're rude to her, she doesn't mention this at all, likely because it's too personal and traumatic. She'll only talk about being beaten, but she won't talk about the abuse. When she found the bandits, she tells you she thought they'd rape her too, but when they didn't she learned "a bandit can be a better man than a knight". And if you sleep with her, she also mentions using Geralt "like so many men use women". It's very clear something horrible happened to her.
@@kirikakirikakirika Yea, I just finished the DLC with her telling me about the beatings and abuse. But I interpreted the abuse as in her being beaten and barely being fed. I don't think she was raped by those knights.
@@kirikakirikakirika Quote:
"Syanna: When my parents disowned me, they ordered those very knights to escort me beyond the duchy's borders. All did so without uttering a single word in my defense.
Geralt: Like you said, they had their orders…
Syanna: Mhm. But Crespi was not ordered to beat me unconscious with a horsewhip after my first attempt at escape. And du Lac had no instructions to deny me food and abuse me.
Syanna: I learned something then - knights are not so chivalrous when no one's watching."
@@Jesusaross
There's three dialogue options that branch in different directions. That's only one of them. Also note that she separates "abuse" from being beaten and deprived of food, when in most cases that would already be considered abuse, making the word "abuse" redundant ... unless it means something else. And don't forget she also mentions her dress being torn and women feeling used by men. This is the typical language of a rape victim. Just the line "knights are not so chivalrous when no one's watching" is pretty dark and accusatory.
I think that this discussion of wich ending was "the best" is really interesting, here is my opinion on it:
Syanna did what she did because she was severely abused while a child, so all that she knew was that pain and isolation, her life was ruined by those people from Toussaint. Since then, she wanted nothing but revenge, because she had nothing but pain and sourness. Not saying that she was right in doing so (especially the part of manipulating Detlaff), but she had very strong reasons for doing it. And, the plan was that only the knights who abused her would die. Annarietta didn't deserve to die, but Syanna didn't know that, in her mind she had betrayed her, and was as bad as the people who exiled her.
Though, I think that Detlaff needed to die. He was used, thats true, but that doesn't excuses him for trying to destroy everyone in the city. His fight was only with Syanna. Even kids in the orphanage died in the slaughter. He proved that if he has a problem with someone, he can do horrible things to lots of inocent people, thus being a dangerous monster.
Annarieta lived with the thought that she failed Syanna, and that this is why Syanna did all this bad things. Because of her. I believe that this is why Anna didn't send Syanna to the prison straight away, she felt guilty of what Syanna had become and had done, and wanted to show compassion for her, something that Syanna hadn't gotten from anyone but bandits.
So yeah, I agree with this being the good ending. None of the three were perfect good guys, and they werent bad guys either. But, Detlaff's slaughter was uncalled for and he, unfortunately, showed to be more of a beast than a senscient being. A danger to other creatures. Whereas Syanna and Annarietta had strong reasons to do what they did.
Not to mention too Syanna was convinced she was a monster just like Renfri.
The way Dettlaff's head changes to his second form is just disgusting... I love it!
yep, me too, there's a glipse of it to the left side of the thumbnail!
Too bad we didn't get to see any of Regis's higher-level transforms. But I find it amazing how much emotion they were able to put into Regis's basic vampire face, particularly when he was hesitating over striking after he got Dettlaff down the first time before getting buried in rubble. The sorrow and conflict were just palpable!
The head looks like a hell knight from doom
This Detlaff really does remind me of Dracula (Castlevania): they’re both some of the most powerful vampires respectively, they didn’t exactly want violence and were pretty much driven mad by loss to an extent. Not to mention how nearly impossible to kill either of them and were ended by vampires (even though Alucard is half-vampire).
ISABELLA VON CARSTEIN IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED 🥰😌😊
anyone else want a kovir dlc? where you can go see triss and have a absolute final for Geralt?
As long as we get a Yennefer DLC as well, otherwise some people will burn down CDPR HQ
I mean sort of but it's not like an overwhelming majority choose Triss over Yen, so that wouldn't make any sense. I always thought Yen was the best ending because while I like Triss, whenever Triss and Geralt are together they seem a lot less like a couple that could live together while Yen and Geralt seem to always have a funny conversation or other things. Also I feel like being loyal to Yen but that is just my opinion.
Christian Butlin Geralt wished to be bound to Yen for his whole life. Triss tricked Geralt and used him. Triss is just a one night stand^^
I wish you could slap Triss for what she did. She's as manipulative as Syanna, except nobody dies. Triss' whole point is "I'm jealous that my best friend got a hot witcher as a bf so imma take him cuz he lost his memory lmao". Triss was a go go choice in the witcher one because canonically Yen died at the end of the book series, so it did make sense, but if you read the books you really dislike this kind of a replacement. Also, Shani was stupid too, considering a fact that she was mentioned briefly in the books, including a scene of Geralt sneaking into her room and fucking her immediately after.
Shaniqua McSwag Geralt is Made for Yen, every character they are meating in the book is saying that.
That fight between Detlaff and Regis was so epic to be seen in a game
So basically Dettlaff being completely screwed over is considered the best ending!
Well not really considering how this end plays out
A) He sent vampires to attack a town full of innocent people
B) He attacks Geralt after Syanna vanishes
Kinda brought the death on himself.
BeautyIsJustAMask He was manipulated and used. Might have been the best ending if Syanna dies too.
I know he was manipulated but that does not justify sending vampires to wipe out an enitire city. My favourite end is the one where both he and syanna die.
BeautyIsJustAMask I prefer the one with all dead.
2xucan It works for me ;) Didn't ask for your approval
I almost shed a tear when Anna tickled Syanna and hugged her and she returned the hug. So wholesome!
A few minutes ago I got this ending. I cried with that "break the 4th wall" moment in the end. This is the best game I have ever played. Period
I totally understand
@@xLetalis And thank god I saved when you have to choose between rescuing Syanna or go to find the elder. I'll play that ending trying to make all the good choices (in this kind of games where you can choose, the first time always try to be good). But I'll do that when this I'm not depressed anymore due to the emptiness of finishing this game for the first time gave me.
38:06 is the most adorable damn thing. She _goosed_ her like a mischievous sister. And won her over again.
I just realized that they could have just melted him to a puddle or something like that which would take him like 60 years to recover, because by then Annarietta and Syanna would've surely been ded and no one would be , so to say killed
I find it interesting just how like Dettlaff Syanna truly is. Like him, she's a very primal individual: one who has a hard time getting along with others, let alone being able to trust them. The way she talked made it seem that the only people she considered truly family was her little sister, in a sense the two of them could very well be considered a 'Pack' in the eyes of the Vampire race. And much like her former lover, she was consumed by her emotions when she was "betrayed" by not only the people around her, but by the one person she adored above all others.
Wow interesting
Both also develop a wrong impression about the object of her love/hate
Namely, Dettlaff wrongfully thinks that Syanna never loved him from the start, and Syanna wrongfully thinks that Anna forgot her and dit not care
Just like there is an option for Syanna to at least realize the truth, I wish there was one for Dettlaff too
love you put on manticore armor before meeting Triss
You can understand that Syanna is a bad person and still support this outcome. While I feel sorrier for Dettlaff for what he thought he was doing out of love... he couldn't be reasoned with in the end. You CAN bring Syanna back from the brink of sheer evil and madness. Whether that means she should be forgiven is entirely up to the individual player. I can't. But then again, I am also not willing to swing the sword either and end her life and so I reserve my judgement.
Nobody gonna talk about that sick roll and spin Regis did at 3:45? Just me then. Ok
I always choose this ending for Geralt's sake.
Tired of him being treated badly by most people. About time he gets the true respect he deserves, even if he detests ceremonies.
I absolutely loved Blood & Wine! The perfect ending to a game that I never wanted to end!
me too ;]
terrible ending , detlaff should live in the end and the sisters are both crazy
as somebody who doesn't have a very good relationship with my sister, i liked this ending. they're both traumatized and angry at each other, but they love each other deep down and are on their way toward healing their relationship
I wish our bizzare couple had a chance to make up. I truly feel Syana loved Detlaff, but not more than she loathed her sister. I also feel that Detlaff, if given a chance to hear her out, would have let her live because he loved her dearly as well. If they didn't end up together then so be it, but at least they should both know the other did in fact love them once.
Say what you want, but this the best ending imo.
Both Dettlaff and Syanna were victims at first, but both also chose to carry out evil on their own once they were put in a bad situation. Their stories mirror each other. But at the end of the day, one proves she can let go of her hatred, take her responsabilities, forgive and accept to face trial, the other just lashes out at everyone, and that is his downfall.
She has to be convinced, after all of that she still wished to do evil. Dettlaff and syanna are both evil, but syanna is much worse because she turned dettlaff into the person he is.
Just love that fact that Regis values geralts friendship more than dettlaffs blood bond
My canon ending, though I'm not sure whether or not I like it better than the one where Dettlaff survives - th-cam.com/video/XBEPy-tutsI/w-d-xo.html - I called this one "The Best" since it's definitely the hardest one to achieve.
I think that the bad ending aka "death to all" is the -best- most fitting/realistic: 1) Syanna who was the mastermind behind all the tragedy dies for her actions, 2) Dettlaff, despite according to Regis being kind at the bottom of heart but "too emotionally unstable", killed at least half of Beauclair and did not seem to care much about Regis' request to end this madness.... Bottom line is he crossed the line. 3) As for Duchess well, she had to open her eyes and see what her sister was really like, plus because of her character being as annoying as that of Emhyr... Despite all I do pity Regis, after all he did not wish for the whole bloodshed. Anyway good job uploading all these videos and let us hope that CDPR will make another Witcher game with Ciri being the main character but Geralt also making several cameos
P.S. As I see you prefer Triss over Yen (just noticed)
huh... for me it was Ciri who returned
I really do not get the arguement about Anna deserving death. The worst thing she did was mock Geralt for not finding Dettlaff and was blind to how bad her sister was which seems like human nature to me. Neither of those even remotely deserve death. She is a well loved ruler in Toussaint and without her chaos could ensue. The most fitting end imo is Syanna and Dettlaff dead.
+BeautyIsJustAMask nah Dettlaf deserves not only his revenge on syanna but also to be let go, to me, at least for the greater half of the game, Dettlaf was the victim
He was a victim until he sent vampires to murder an ENTIRE city, that is far worse than what Syanna did. He is also now consumed by rage which is why Regis sides with you, he needs to be put down.
*I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO*
That line. There is just so much emotion behind that voice. Mark Noble needs a raise. Regis is a masterpiece of a character with his voice
Perfect ending! xD "Warm enough for you Triss?"
*proceeds to burn triss at the last minute of vid*
Triss wanted to let the lodge use ciri and fucked Lambert
I'm just gonna leave that there and fly away
@@Pilafcg Another ignorant Triss hater who completely ignored the fact that she was willing to go through torture for both Dandelion and Ciri, that Yen was actually willing to let that Lodge use Ciri as well with Ciri's only demand that Yennefer have a seat in the Lodge as well. And the only reason Ciri wasn't used is because Geralt had "died" and ciri was allowed to say goodbye prior to that so she could escape. So yeah I can see why you flew away so you wouldn't have to listen to facts.
@@garytaylor3880 you sound like a virgin. Do you consider yourself a patriot?
@@garytaylor3880 Also, Yen was fucked by Crach an Crait, who is a brute and utter fool.
Regis is hands down one of the best characters I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with in a while
Best ending is where everyone dies.
- Anna is an annoying duchess that can't think rationally even ready to give up her subjects for her sister's sake
- Syanna, whatever she feels murder is still wrong
- Detlaff, attacking and killing a whole city full of innocent people
Both Regis ending are good,
- If he kill detlaff he will be hunted by vampires but he can still escape to the north and knowing Regis he'll manage.
- If he spare detlaff he'll still be the regis we know living in peace.
He is going to south 😁
Im glad im not the only one who thinks like that , I never got the "good" ending because I refuse to show mercy on syanna she was the worst! Detlaff was a Victim but he still murdered tons of innocents so he deserves punishment too and I liked anna until the whole " yeah he can kill the whole town but im not giving her my psycho murderer sister" so yeah she also deserves what she gets lol.
@@morrisond721 I agree, although I sympathize with Detlaff - he was tricked, then got enraged when he found out. Killing innocents is very bad, but you have to concider the fact that vampires think differently then humans. For me best ending is to let him kill Syanna and let him go.
People who say the "murder is wrong, so Syanna should die" are just people who hate her and can't find a real reason. I mean, she fooled a vampire to kill 4 child abusers (a vampire who would kill hundreds of innocents if he's not given what he wants), how can that be considered evil?
49:57
geralt, you're*
Literally unplayable
Nah, he's just making an awkwardly-phrased request for Triss to tell him a joke. :p
I personally think Dettlaff living is the best ending, because I like him. But also because then regis won't be hunted down for the rest of his life.
I think Regis mentions that as long as he stays away from toussaint vampires will forget about him
Dettlaff is fucking evil he is ready to kill a whole fucking town just because one person broke his hearth the fuckkk i slayed that blood sucker with pleasure i hate vampires
@@TheMadKid91 I see your point. I get so angry I could do that too. but I never do it, I see both sides of the story
I don't understand why Regis had to kill Dettlaff. Just put him into a vampire-proof cage (or remove head and add a stake through heart) and let him cool off for 60 years. By then Syanna will be long dead and Dettlaff might be more sensible (Regis had a change of heart during his 50-year long stay in the grave). Far better option than 'You have kill-on-sight mark' for Regis.
You have a point
Yeah honestly punishing them all BUT without killing them and giving a second chance (they all show hints they can redeem themselves) would have been the best ending for all
It's the worst ending for Regis, lost his blood-bound brother friend (Dettlaff), got the hate of the other vampires who want to kill him now, Syanna still lives, although she was the reason for the whole tragedy and Regis hates her the most, and he got exiled from a whole region (Toussaint).
And yet Syanna is still a villain, she's an Alfa, she ruled a whole group of bandits, she lived all her past life as a villain, won't change in one night, she will never accept to sit down quite and be ruled by her little sister, sooner or later she will seek the throne, and likely to kill Anna if she to not surrender it peacefully.
The all lose ending is a just for all, Geralt got the least losses tho (I'm selfish her). When all (Dettlaff, Syanna and Anna) are dead - (killing Anna is unjustified, but she's too trusting, even she knew her villain angry sister is behind all the catastrophic tragedies, and that she is seeking her demise, she still offer her clemency without any punishment or restrictions, this is insanely unfair),,, Geralt doesn't go to jail, fulfills his contract best (killed the beast and brought back Syanna unharmed) and got paid, he still loses his allies in the dutchy (Anna Henrietta dies and new unknown rulers will be there), and Regis got exiled.
Love how Syanna talks to us about wanting a happy ever after
I had no idea how to get the best ending. Glad I ran into that little girl and bought syannas ribbon back.
WiffyLight I beat her in Gwent for it, not only it's the best minigame in gaming history but it got me the best ending, talk about a card game…
:V
How much for the fucking ribbon?
The ending I got was when the Duchess was murdered by her sister then the guards killed her. It ended with a big funeral for the duchess and nobody mourning the sister expect for Geralt (Cuz I chose to pay respect to both of them)
DAMN! What a hell of a ride! I just hope that I'm alive to play the next Witcher game CDPR makes, if they do.
indeed
Regis is such a good character, gotta say.
yes, one of my favorites
45:20-45:41 And thus the Witcher 3 waves us goodbye....
yeah... *sadface*
as a game Witcher 3 isn't impressive, but speaking of a storyteller, god, witcher 3 is good. The plots, the characters, the dialogues just echoing in my head even days after I played it through.
Jesus christ that was sad.
+Elfin lewis No, the Witcher 3 is very impressive as a game too.
+Elfin lewis Witcher 3 was the best game I've ever played. Put in over 1000 hours throughout 6 playthroughs. And I've yet to get tired of it.

Geralt was with Yennifer, however when he lost his memory Triss abused this knowledge to lure him in. Hence why she's a rapist
Not really, rape is much worse though
Oh boy, all the hate in the comments about Yenenfer and Triss in all of Letalis's videos.. I know I'm months late if not years but guys, theres a thing called "difference of opinion" and its a healthy thing. I personally prefer Yen a hundred times over, even though I still like Triss. Reasons I like her?
-she's chic and sassy
-best sarcastic comments in the game
-will even defile sacred ground if it helps those she loves, she gets shit done for them
-has created a mask, pretends to be invincible, indifferent and flawless but will still drop it when she's with Geralt and Ciri, shes a cuddly ball of insecurities
Suspicious Burger nobody cares
I'm not sure I see the "hate" you refer to, but I personally didn't like Yennifer because she's unbelievably disrespectful to literally everyone, including those she cares about. It becomes hard to empathize with a character when she shits on everyone in almost every scene with little justification or provocation. Geralt and Lambert are also disrespectful in their own ways, but they have traits that are visible to the player to make up for this shortcoming. CDPR didn't see fit to have any of Yennifer's positive traits shine through in this game, which I think is a shame, but it is what it is.
Shani is best anyway, let's be honest. lol
Y'all out here fighting who is better and I was left alone at the end cause I romanced both.
When I met Triss, she was lovely and so caring - how could I not Romance her...then came Yennefer's Last Wish and I felt that she truly loves me for finding that djinn so I even Romanced her. I never knew that there were no chances of correcting or choosing Geralt's relationship status later in the game and damn I was left alone. I wish that Red Projekt had given a chance to sort it out in the ending stage.
But guess what, I still got Roach with me - always loyal.
I disliked her character cause was just kind of a straight up bitch
I ended up with Ciri turning up. I think that's probably the best ending.
“You help them, why?”
“…because they need help.”
What a simple yet beautiful sentiment.
5:30 So... in my book, Dettlaff wins right there. He literally sinks his fangs into Geralt and rips out his throat with a roar of victory. I'm not sure why CDPR put that in because it looks like shit to keep fighting after that.
Armor and slowed netabolysm
Also Geraldo is a gigachad and his neck muscles could be used to draw carriages
Why didn't Damien just wear a helmet?
Kyle Netherwood because main characters have the best form of protection known as plog armour
Plog Armor OP
The helmet, too, would've grown hot under prolonged exposure to fire and burned his whole face.
@@thecrow4129 In stitches over this.
To avoid ever getting stitches, wear appropriate armor
I can't treat this ending like the best one fairly, because the sister was really guilty for this whole event. Dadlaff is a monster she draw to the country intentionally. Well I guess every happy ending of fairy tales got untold darkness behind.
I finished the dlc and came here and I saw that every choices I made was true. I feel perfect :)
I always spare Dettlaff now due to not wanting to hurt Regis. He says he'll go far from humans so I also use that and the "witchers are neutral" excuse to justify it
That they are.... about humans. Monsters are a separate subject, and Dettlaff was specifically in Witcher's contract. Sparing him is not being a "neutral witcher", it's being an "incapable witcher".
You know you fucked up when Dandelion shows up
Wish there was an ending with both sisters dead and Detlaff lives.
I thought you have to let Syanna live to fight Detlaff.
If I knew you could still fight Detlaff and let Syanna die. I would've gone for that instead.
Thanks for the likes
If regis didnt get made an outcast this would be the best ending tbh i think the ending where detlaff gets away to be the best
'One day I wanna see what it's like, to just wake up in my own bed'
That gets me
Ah Witcher 3, the game that i've reloaded saves 5 times just to get the best ending
:) Yeah reloading saves is all I do
4:35 "I Can not kill you Vampire, but now you'll regret it!"
No other game got me more emotionally attached to it than this,ı'll miss this so much..
I think they know how to create perfect drama in their stories. Suddenly felt i might even cry. Maybe it felt that strong because Anna and Sylvia's relationship drama resonates with me so similarly. Oh well.
Cant believe i was just one "correct" answer away from the "forgiving end" - everyone died in my first playthrough. At least i got Yen at Corvo Bianco.
Only thing i miss in the conversation with Yen though: Wanna go behind the bushes? ;)
Whoever did the give of Ana deserves a witcher medal. Such elegance.
You know the game is masterfully written when the entirety of the comment section is people discussing what ending is better, who was right or wrong, or if anyone was either at all!
That conversation with Regis by the fire could of went on over half n hour and I wouldn’t of minded
Yen, I could believe she would just walk into the villa without saying anything but I don’t believe Triss would do it
Always bugged me that the dress in the guest room isn't the one Triss wore to the ball. You even had dialog referencing it and still they put some random dress there!
yes indeed!
People say that its a good idea to start with ciri in witcher 4 , but i personally want geralt always ,seems like he made a special bond with us all ,gamers . There's no ending here of geralt , i want him in the next series
As long as its well written, I will always play these games.
As much as we all love Geralt, this is the ending of his story. Like he says in his conversation with Regis, he's earned a rest. It would be awesome to have Geralt appear in the next Witcher game, but I feel like this is a great way for his story to end.
@@DariusOfPersia well we and geralt have already rested a lot , it wouldn't hurt anyone if he would return again in the next game , the whole book , stories goes around him , his quests adventure etc. so i never accepted the fact that his story has ended.
@@jaanu2222 It's hard to imagine a Witcher game without Geralt, but we'll have to get used to it. CDPR has already said that whenever the next Witcher game comes out, it won't be about Geralt. I'd still love it if he made an appearance, though.
@@DariusOfPersia well we'll see what their plans after cyberpunk , they're currently focused on it and a small team started on the next witcher but i guess in 2022 we'll going to see a new game.
9th doctor: Just this once. Everybody lives!
Absolutely extraordinary. It's a game, but it's literature.
On my first play i had this ending, but i loaded back to let Dettlaff live. I didn't do it because i liked Dettlaff so much, only because that's what a friend who risked turning into a slag wanted.
38:35 I just finished my first playthrough and i was SO glad that she didn't backstab her with a hidden knife.
Yeah, that hand-behind-the-back stance really made me nervous.
I felt to much bad for Syanna. The game sensors the line a bit but she got raped and all. She could not make bonds, she actually loved Detlaff, but was to afraid to make bonds, move on and have a life (she says that), she've already accepted her "uselessness" to the world just wanted to die but before... Revenge, she accepted her that much before list everything for a drip of wine just to get a last pleasure. Her story is just a bunch of unfortunate events, and lack of therapy hehe, that was not yet developed.
Everyone here is a victim in a way.
I feel sorry for Ana as well, imagine being a kid facing a hole "Senate", nervous, seeing your sister getting punished, the king, the nobles, ministers, everyone is angry, everyone staring at you what would you do?
Well that's why I love the witcher.
The tickling from Anarietta to Syanna was so sweet.
