Just wanted to say, that this video was fantastically put together and very entertaining - I’d love to watch a Witcher 3 version as well
I would love that the video would be like 10 hrs long...
@@doggoss7760 worse ways to spend 10 hours 🤷♀
@@snooge13 sorry what? How so?
@@doggoss7760 They means that it would be a nice way to spend 10 hours. And that there are worser alternatives.
@@viderevero1338 oh that makes sense lol
Peasants: *Accuse Stennis of attempted murder.*
Stennis: *Starts talking about how he's royalty and therefore better than everyone else.*
200 IQ move right there
Not only Stennis, Henselt does almost the same on the other path. It seems like sense of crisis is nonexistent in witchers royalty😅
@@AvernGostir Well, many royals have historically been pretty proud of their divine right and often thought peasants do not matter or pose a threat, so them behaving like this is not at all out of place.
@@AvernGostir It's culturally accurate. This is what people genuinely believed, that kings were above the average person and had divine right.
@@arandombard1197 True that! But, I guess, I thought that being involved in politics, where the backstabbing constantly happens, made them a bit more "sharp" in that regard.
@A Random Bard macbeth was a fluff piece demonstrating by Shakespeare demonstrating that quite well. Kill a king, natural order is disrupted.
Your summation of Geralt's gesture towards Letho before walking away is perfect
Someone should make it more flamboyant. I would lose my shit.
The way Geralt says: *_S w e e t D r e a m s_* to the female troll is magical indeed! :D
Wow, the Little Sisters quest is so much deeper than it appeared to, when I played I was just like "Evil ghost, die" and never thought of it again. Then it turns out there is a huge big brain plot behind that you can only piece together by replaying and getting different endings for the quest.
I think it's a great irony that the most "low IQ" decision (die evil ghost) is the correct choice even with 200 IQ hindsight.
As a completionist, this quest just boggled with my mind on my playthrough. One of the best for sure tho.
This was the quest that taugh me to never trust wraiths and do the exact opposite of what they ask you.
@@zzxp1 If Geralt had a nickel for every time a dark, spectral woman lied to him to get his help killing an innocent guy, he'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird it happened twice.
@@jessetrombley3949considering it’s a world where dark, spectral women exist, I’d say it’s pretty impressive that it’s only happened twice…or embarrassing that he’s fell for it twice lol
I missed this the first time around so thank you for taking the time and effort to bring it back to your channel.
I think I speak for most of your subscribers in paying tribute to the sheer quality and depth of your content.
Let's hope there's some exciting additions to the upcoming release of the next gen witcher.
I was lucky to be able to watch this when it was first uploaded. So glad you were able to get it up again Neon, its one of my favourite videos of yours!
Flotsam is so great. A small town away from civilization, but being a part of this civilization nonetheless. It is something that is not possible to replicate in an open world game.
Awesome video 👍
The forest around Lobinden, and also near Loc Muinne in Chapter 3, are so amazing, so much better than the forests CDPR made in Witcher 3.
@@Undivided_X I’ve played both games, and I seriously can’t think of anything witcher 2 does better than witcher 3. Both of the forests you mention are tiny and have very little to actually do (and most of what there is isn’t very good outside of the asylum and the troll quests), and are most certainly not better than any forest in witcher 3.
@@Aplesedjr Facts
@@AplesedjrAlso Witcher 2 hubs feel very constricted. You have to know exactly how to maneuver around them because of invisible walls.
@@InjusticeJosh Les so than in withcer 1 where you could literaly not jump down from a small terace the height of like 2 stair steps. But the feeling of the forests was gorgeus, and well witcher 3 made forests more realistic in a few ways. But honestly all 3 witcher games was goregus in the nature aspect for the time they were made at. Witcher 1 has super realistic east european fields and swamps look great too, but witcher 3 has great nature.
The Witcher 2 was where I started, weirdly enough, because my rubbish laptop wouldn't run the third one and I wanted to play something, at least, and had too hard a time with the first game. But it's honestly what got me hooked, and I loved it, in spite of how clunky it was - and I played it through probably 10 times just to explore each of the endings and choices. I absolutely LOVED this video, because it brought back both memories and a sense of nostalgia, but also reminded me how intense and meaningful The Witcher 2 was when I played through it. So for one, thank you for that!! ♥I also loved the insight into "What would Geralt do", especially compared to the choices I made, because I had no context on any of it when I did play it, and it was really cool to see. I can only imagine what kind of work this took to assemble, but I would (personally) be ALL over this same take on the third one!!
I like to pride myself on having hundreds of hours on the W2 alone, but I’ve never heard the Little Sisters Quest put into so much detail and actually I never heard that interpretation. I just thought that the 3 specters disguised themselves as the sisters to purposefully kill the soldier, but I never figured out their motive.
You should make a Witcher 3 version of this especially with the next gen update on the way. This was a very interesting and informative video. Good work 👏🏾
Absolutely agree
I would absolutely love to see a w3 version. What would Geralt do is a question I end up asking myself every time I open the game
Well you got your wish
I agree so much that Stennis is not hated enough! The only good thing about him is his Gwent Card in Witcher 3
Even his card description calls him an asshole
I’m SO glad you got this back up! Great insights and as always, very smart points. I would LOVE for you to do this with The Witcher 3.
This was *fantastic*, Neon. I'd like this twice if I could. I won't tell you to spend 20 years making a W3 version of this, but I'd watch the hell out of it if you did.
A fan analysing every choice in the game based on his knowledge and understanding of the original books, in copious detail. I'm glad you made this list on the second game; the one I enjoy replaying the least. It would probably differ if they haven't cut out Iorveth entirely from the third game, but I appresciate it
This video very nicely highlights one of my main issues with 3. Despite being the shorter game, 2 feels like it has so many more hard choices where there's no clear cut right or wrong, or situations where there are purposefully vague information to really lean into how Geralt isn't psychic but simply has to do his best with the information he has.
There are definitely some tough ones in 3 as well, but there's just so many choices that are outrageously WTF out of character options for Geralt like "Act like a dick to an orphan", "Snitch on nonhumans to local witch hunters", "Leave your friends to die", "Kill longtime acquaintance for minor slight", etc. etc.
You forget that Geralt is almost too well-defined thanks to both the games and the books. But in the book Geralt also makes a lot of decisions that he (and we) later regrets. So making a stupid choice once in a while is actually being thorough in "What would Geralt do?".
10/10 profile pic, brother.
Dang this was a good video! I've only played through Witcher 2 once and it was a long time ago. When you lay out everything as you did it makes me appreciate the complexity of the quest interactions so much more. It took me like 15mins into the video before I realised "wait, this man is going through the entire game?" and realized the full length XD
I'd love that 90 min explanation of the current political situation lol. If you do the same for Witcher 3 I'd definitely watch it, but maybe break it up into multiple videos eh?
I have never touched a single Witcher book until the long wait between 2 and 3.
I am proud to say that my decisions in Witcher 2 perfectly matched the ones you listed, simply based on the lore available in the first two games, and my understanding of who the White Wolf is, as a person.
Your masterful analysis truly put the capstone on the great design the first two had, even if their gameplay is... flawed to say the least.
It really showed me why the hollow feeling I was left with at the end was so satisfying, I set out to clear my name of regicide, ended up an accessory to another regicide anyway, the actual assassin is a friend I am beholden to and one I owe big time, the massive big bad dragon I refused to consign to extinction (took Roche's path didn't even know it was Saskia at the time), my friend I could not help to carry on hope for Temeria, the non-humans got purged anyway, and the evil sorceress that orchestrated it all was just as duped as I was, I couldn't just stand by and watch her explode...
In the end, I was left with a hollow feeling, I had accomplished nothing, got involved in a lot of politics and bore witness to a great deal of treachery and suffering, even Triss turned out to not be the famed sorceress that Geralt was in love with...
I still insist that while the gameplay and sidequest stories of Witcher 3 are a massive upgrade, nothing any game has done (not just Witcher 3) matches the "so that's it huh?" Feeling that Witcher 2 gives you if you stick to Geralt's character. The same character they've been drip feeding you just sufficiently enough information to get you to question your choices every time you take them.
Truth is, the very fact that you're choosing at all means you fell for the trap. A harsh lesson in what shaped Geralt into his morality in the first place, masterfully executed by the writers.
In fairness to Witcher 3, I felt it was fitting that he and his companions deserved a (mostly) happy ending after everything they've been through. I get why you liked Witcher 2 for its empty feeling but I'm glad that the third game ended the way it did.
Just my two-cent opinion
Also the books already did leave you with that empty feeling as the ending is one of the most bitter sweet ones I have seen. Witcher 3 had to have a happy one you could get to, Geralt deserves it
with the announcement of the witcher 1 remake I'm hoping Witcher 2 gets a remaster. I don't think it requires a complete remake but if they decide to go that route I wouldn't mind. Such a good game. I played it only after finishing W3 multiple times and I was super surprised how well it holds up
Just wanted to comment on how nicely put together and well made this video is, really great content, cheers!
I'm so glad you got this resolved and reposted. Great work, my friend
Well crafted analysis and very well presented as well...would appreciate similar content in the future...cheers !!!
I’m certain a lot of people have said it, but absolutely want to see more of these style of videos. For Witcher 3 and for anything else that may strike your fancy. Very well made.
Such a great video, hands down one of the best Witcher videos out there..
Thank you so much for making this and can't wait for more
I´m so happy for you Neon. Finally the video is out there for everyone to see and enjoy! I watched it again. Beginning to end. Well spend 1h13min of my life! Highly entertaining as always. Thank you so much for your effort and love for the Witcher games and books. I gonna say something to the Stennis situation as well. I agree Geralt would never let someone die or even push into a lynch mob. He himself ran into a mob to safe dwarfs and elves and took a pitchfork for it and died. He clearly despise mobs their dynamic and all they stand for with every fibre of his beeing.
32:07 Stennis has a nickname in the Polish witcher community, "Pennis"
Congratulations on getting this video back, glad I was able to watch it the first time round.
Definitely interested in watching more of this :) Watched the whole thing!
Amazing job as always!!! Listening on vacation
Very precise video!! Love how everything is in depth, no possibility left hanging. Really enjoyed the Little Sisters part. I'd love to see a video for the Witcher 1, this game is just amazing, and even if most choices have an expected outcome, the morality behind them is something I never seen matched.
100% agree with every explanation you've given!
You've ran through all the different options with a very nice pace and depth, this is a great video well done. I've subscribed.
Thank you for doing a Witcher 2 video. My favourite game in the franchise tbh, I like it more than Witcher 3, and that says a lot.
And yes, I agree, Flotsam is absolurley my favourite location in any of the Witcher games, it's so atmospheric and the quests are so good.
This was so damn fun. You did an excellent job of explaining your points.
well I guess you've just decided what I'll spend my evening on.))
it's a great video so I can't see why not rewatch it.
I loved this video glad it’s back up
Love your content been here since the first video glad you got this video up.
Absolutely incredible video, thank you for the huge amount of time and effort this would have taken. I enjoyed every minute 😊
Absolutely fantastic video! I would definitely like something like this done for the Witcher 3! As a person who just loves long form content that someone can just listen to this was perfect!
This video is some of the best analysis on Witcher 2 in video form. Thanks for bringing it to life once again.
The best is clearly made by Joseph Anderson.
@@VictoriousVictorian Nah, this one is better.
Superb video, loads of details I just never picked upon/considered from my playthroughs, really enjoyed it :)

So glad I get to see this again in youtube :D masterful video Neon
Awesome video! Thanks for your great work!
You definitely gotta make a Witcher 3 version. This was such an entertaining and interesting video and I'd love to see another like it. Great work!!!
Loved it very good concisely put together way of laying it out
I definitely LOVED this video, would really appriciate a continuation.
This video is amazing I’m gunna watch it again and take notes or something this time because I feel like I should
Good to see this back up again! I watched it fully back when it first came out, before it was taken back down, but ima watch it again because it's a great video!
Brilliant video. Was really fun to listen and watch. As I've finished the game 3 times over the years and have watched so many videos since I can tell how many hours and work you've put into making this video. Great job. I would love to see this made for The Witcher 3, since the new next gen version just dropped. Great time to replay that masterpiece again (for the 4th time).
Thank you for this!
your content is witcher heaven. never shy from long uploads, i love this so much!
Excellent video! I'm so glad it's back, I was probably as mad as you after YT removed this video. Now I finally watched it whole, thank you!
I am very grateful for all the time you spent on this video, sticking around until the end of it was the least I could do. It most certainly is not an "unwatchable mess".
Good to see its back up my man
Sometimes it's a headache 'what would Geralt do' apart from helping widows and orphans. I always end up doing what he wants lol Great job...very thorough.
Yes man this video was fantastic. I'd love to see more like it in the future
I cannot wait for your What Would Geralt Do Witcher 3 video!
watching it for the second time :) such a good vod mate. Keep it up.
That's an incredible work you did on this video. I enjoyed greatly watching it. It was also somewhat nostalgic to come back to this game. Thank you!
An excellent, watchable non-mess. Thank you.
One of the best videos I've seen lately, definitely subbed and eager for the Witcher 3 video!
It was a great watch, interesting, well made. These are nice ^-^
I thought it was great to see you analyze the games from Geralt's perspective. I would love to see you do TW3 so I can do another playthough "as Geralt" after the next gen version drops
Great video! Thanks for putting it together :)
The video is marvelous, please do more of this kind
This must have been a lot of work. Great content, very well put togheter. Thanks, really enjoyed this vid!
Brilliant video, definitely be up for a video of the third game or multiple videos, anyway thanks for the hard work you've clearly put into this
Damnnn, you have such a cool content for us witchers fans, and I can tell you love the saga. Hope you keep on going with the upcoming next gen update and future games!! Love from Spain
I loved this thank you very much! I would love to see this also being done to the witcher 1&3 games
great video, subbed to wait for the follow-up in 3
Great job man ❤️
I sat n watched this entire video, its made in a great way good job on this mate.
So well down and nice editing. Amazing work
a very interesting and amazing watch
you're truly a Loremaster of the mind of Geralt and the witcher! I respect that!
Thank you so much for this video! I would really love one for witcher 3. I just love all of your content and i’m thankfull for your dedication. It’s beautiful!
Even if your channel is not that old you’re a natural at this. Loved every single minute even wished the vid was longer. Definitely do this for the witcher 3. Great content keep it up.
this was an amazing video, only did one play through and this cleared so much up for me
Great video really loved it especially since I've never played the witcher 2 so I had no idea about most of these events. You done a great job explaining them thx
Love the videos neon knight you inspired me to play the Witcher again I’ve already beat it twice using different methods also using different builds it’s really fun just wanted to say thanks for that. Keep up the great work my man
Please do this for The Witcher 3, this video is very good and makes me want to play The Witcher 2 again.
Loved this video, going to watch all your other Witcher content now due to how good the writing is. And I truly hope you do make a long video about Witcher 3, as I have a lot of time to listen to this kind of content while at work 😄
this was an awesome video!
What an insane video to make haha. i loved it!
Amazing video, love to see someone who really understands Geralt.
Yes please, enjoyed it a lot and I would love to hear more on this topic :) It did not even feel that long.
It’s back. I wanted to watch it when it first came out but I didn’t have the time and by the time I had the time it was gone. Gonna enjoy this
Dude. This is amazing.
Gotta replay for the 11th time now!
Thanx buddy
This was great! Keep em coming!
I'd love to see a video like this for Witcher 1 as well, even if he does have amnesia lol.
Loved the video, gave a lot of useful information about Witcher 2 to someone who hasn't played it
Amazing video, I'd love to watch another one for Witcher 1 and Witcher 3!
Awesome video! Thank you!
It's finally back! Congrats dude, this is an absolutely great video that I had the pleasure to watch when it was up for a few hours the first time. Just watched the whole thing again and it's just as great the second time, much like the game itself! :D
Hey, I enjoyed this video and would enjoy seeing similar videos about other Witcher games!
My friend, this is the type of video that appreciates with time. Its a fine, red wine that you've poured your heart into. Such a beverage isn't something that'll give you instant gradification.
Instead, it'll bloom over the years and then one day, when you least expect it, it'll be at the top-most viewed, with tens of miliions of watches and a comment section so long, it'll rival the books of the series you're covering.
I write this 7 months after you posted and, as you can see, the Algorythm can be a fickle god. But you're making something special.
Continue bottling your passion and allowing it to age. Soon everyone will be stopping by to have a drink.
Great video, watched it with pleasure!
Dude where has these videos been on my feed?! As a gigantic fan of the Witcher, I love stuff like this. Great video, you more than deserve this like and sub. :)
Loved it mate 👍
Was a great, well-structured, and perfectly reasoned video from the perspective of Geralt. Would love to see a similar thing for both the games, but 3 in particular!
What an amazing video please continue!
Excellent video, makes me appreciate a fun game I played as a kid much more now.
