An interesting detail. The girl, if you take her to her aunt in the village, asks Geralt "Will you visit me?" And if you come after some time, she will run up to the witcher and there will be a scene in which she will give him her drawing. Geralt will later be able to hang this drawing on the wall in Corvo Bianco.

Funny enough I was wearing Cat School armor when I approached him, and he said a unique line like "Wolf Medallion in Cat Armor, what are you a hybrid?". Gotta love the attention to detail. Also Gaetan is mentioned briefly by the art vendor in Novigrad if you give him the painting at the auction house during the Hearts of Stone DLC. pretty crazy.
@ something along the lines of “another Witcher came thru a while back and pawned his trophy but never came back” idk if you need to kill Gaetan to get that interaction or not tho
I always hated the idea that the trophies on his wall implies that he's done this before because Geralt keeps the head of every monster he kills for a contract and hangs them from his saddle
Honestly the whole turn in the contract part of the game is kinda wonky, because nobody ever asks to see the trophy. Geralt just gives them a rundown of the encounter and they just take his word for it. But at the end of the day it’s just a mechanic the devs put in so you can look cool while riding Roach.
I'll never understand the logic in hiring someone better than you to kill something more powerful than you, just to attempt to kill them afterwards. Surely that can only ever end one way?
Tbf its not impossible. They almost got him, Geralt straight up lost against a peasant boy with a pitchfork, pretty much all the known Witcher Schools are dying out because of pogroms launched against them. Witchers are better than your ordinary swordsmen but not so much that a group of ordinary swordsmen couldnt beat them. Geralt would hardly have had a reason to fear the Wild Hunt if he was as strong as the game makes him and Leo Bonhart, 3 confirmed Witcherkills, was just one guy.
Witchers have been outnumbered and slaughtered by humans many times you hear about it constantly in the Witcher set treasure hunt notes LOL. Guess you just don’t pay attention.
@@chandlerburse I get Witchers aren't immune, but my point is more psychological. You as a whole village have been unable to kill this beast for however long, then this dude comes and does it for you, alone, without an issue. Would you then attack him..with a pitchfork of all things? I know I sure wouldn't.
I will never get over the fact this quest is written really poorly with the spare choice It makes no sense for Geralt to compare his Blaviken situation with this.
My thoughts as well when I had a discussion with my friend over our different choices. I get what they where trying to say with Geralt's comment...but his own experience was a bit different. ...okay actually quite alot different, really 😅
I think he was comparing the fact that he (Geralt) is not immune to being caught in a heavy predicament where he has a choice between his own life and slaughtering groups of humans, be they soldiers or villagers. Geralt also knows that angry villagers once their mind is set on forming a mob and attacking witchers is nothing to scoff at and ends only one way. In Witcher lore, villagers have successfully raided Witcher schools, and have done so in Kaer Morhen. I think even someone with a pitchfork even got Geralt before. The choice to sympathize with Gaetan is a way for the player to choose a less judgmental or hypocritical approach and isn’t really to compare what happened in Blaviken with Geralt to what Gaetan just did, more so self awareness that sometimes shit hits the fan. To be fair Gaetan let his temper get the better of him and he killed EVERYONE, but by that point it seems he was at his breaking point and just saw red like a raging bull. And it’s a choice in the dialogue given to players who would rather not slay any witchers. I’m that type of player. My Geralt doesn’t slay any other Witcher’s in the W3 world apart from that one that was part of some sadistic experiment in Novigrad. It’s why I spared Karadin the guy Lambert was after. Other play throughs I’ve done the opposite, but I find the more I play, the more I can’t bring myself to kill other witchers in the game, I guess cuz they’re basically on the verge of being extinct, and you find so many traces through out the game of other witchers who have fallen. It’s such a rare gem to me to find living witchers in game. If it were possible to complete this quest with Gaetan before going to the battle of Kaer Morhen and recruit him, I would have done so without hesitation. I just think it’s cool when you see another Witcher in the game, cuz you just roam with Geralt all on your lonesome most of the game, especially after what happens to Vesimir, and even Eskel and Lambert take off.
@ Gaetan went from house to house thats not the same Geralt didn’t even kill the people in blaviken in defense of himself he killed them in defense of the towns people
That's true, I do think Geralt would decide not to kill him but he wouldn't try to relate to him, he'd just take it as more complicated shit in an already complicated world.
One of my favorite lines in the entire game is in this quest if you choose to just fight Gaetan instead of hearing him out Gaetan: “What? I don’t even get a chance to explain myself?” Geralt: “This isn’t a trial, stand up.”
As for the idea that the trophies in his hideout imply he's done this before, doesn't make sense because you, as Geralt, also keep the trophies of your contracts
I mean Geralt in the game keeps most of his trophies we even have the option of attaching them to roach. I think Gaeton threw the leshen head on the floor since he was angry and then they said follow me to the barn.. who can say
These are great. I'm doing my first (albeit 3rd attempt) full playthrough of the witcher 3. This video and the one about the novigrad serial killer I just recently completed in game so it's fun to come back to the videos and see what i missed
I've never killed him because it happened in velen, villagers there have no sens of honor and are known to send their children to the crones, maybe gaetan in fact saved that lil girl from her sad fate.
it’s crazy-i JUST got back into witcher 3 last week and so did you apparently!!!! perfect timing 😂 i’m loving these lore deep dives! the game is so full of stories to tell, and you’re one of my favorite storytellers!! match made in heaven ☺️
I always felt bad for Gaetan. Far as I saw, the entire village tried to kill him for wanting to be paid fairly for his work AND because he was a Witcher. Then, when he started swinging, they started running as they realized they fucked up. Sure, he went way too far. VERY FAR. But, again, he spared the child. And School of the Cat witcher suffer from enhanced emotions and can (very often) fly into frenzy like this, like how other witchers suffer from dampened ones. So, I spared him. Maybe not the right thing to do, but...sometimes heads roll.
You’re making excuses for him😂 you want him to be your bf? 😂😂 He’s killed innocence and continues to do so…enough said with no remorse at that he’s a psycho, a monster and Geralt kills monsters…he’s a problem for Geralt because he’s giving witchers a bad rep than they already have…kill him every time. Also, he killed other children in that village. With your logic you prolly spared both the carnal sins quest killers because you “felt bad for them” there emotionally unstable and the vampire needs blood to survive😂 and psychopaths sometimes fly into a frenzy and bodies start to drop “so I spare them”😂😂
In a world full of monsters, I spared him because realistically what’s one village compared to the others that’ll be able to exist because of a traveling Witcher. They’re a dying breed so I didn’t want to contribute.
23:00 I don't quite like the logic here, Even Geralt himself doesn't actually turn in his trophies only uses them as proof of kill. And what villager would keep a rotting monster head around? Feel like that piece of dialogue was a bit much
the letter at 22:27 mentions bounty on Gaetan's head. I always thought that's why the villager's went in for the kill, to get the reward. And that is why Gaetan massacred the entire village because he thought the villagers are in for the bounty and he eventually lost control killing even woman and children alike.
I think for some more ideas for RDR2 videos you could do like character analysis. I know you’ve already made a video on Dutch’s mental state and that may be the idea I’m thinking of. For example, a video on Javier let’s say where we take everything about him into account and come to a place of understanding the character up to the final point of him siding with Dutch or even up to him in the first game.
A very difficult quest in terms of choice... All these years I thought about what decision is reasonable here, and I still haven't come to a final conclusion. On the one hand, it is clear that no one appointed Geralt as judge and executioner. And he is not obliged to decide Gaetan's fate. On the other hand, since no one else knows about Gaetan's crimes, then by releasing him, Geralt takes responsibility for his possible subsequent murders of peaceful people. And I don't believe that Geralt would have told the peasant woman the truth in this situation. Because he is pragmatic enough, has seen enough in life to not compromise his profession, his workshop once again. I think Geralt would have blamed the devastation of the village on the wood goblin. Especially since the wolves had already taken care to hide the presence of both Gaetan and Geralt in the village by that time.
It doesn't help Gaetan that the Witchers of the Cat school have a bad reputation for being prone to bouts of extreme violence and psychopathy due to differences in the creation of Cat school Witchers from others
Whenever I load a new campaign, I always choose to put Gaetan down. At the bare minimum, I give him a warriors death by letting him go down fighting against Geralt, the guy got cheated on his contract and his anger at the elderman is understandable, but you can't go round slaughtering entire villages, witchers have a bad enough reputation as it is, also if you let him live who's to say he wouldn't lose the fucking plot again and go blood drunk if the situation was to repeat itself, the guy defended himself in the barn against the elderman and his men, who clearly tried to kill him, I get it he's pissed off, but there's plenty of bodies scattered around the village of men, women, children and greybeards with death blows to their backs and who were clearly unarmed and were most likely unaware of the situation that has spiralled out of control into deadly ground between the elderman and the witcher and were literally running in terror for their lives from a mad witcher who is on a killing spree at this point. Gaetan had to be put down. I highly doubt Geralt would let his fellow witcher walk away knowing what's occurred in the village with the evidence in front of him, even if Geralt can understand Gaetans anger at being screwed over.
Geralt might allow him to leave but the way its written in game is out of character In the books Geralt encounters a witcher like gaetan who apparently killed innocents and he was shunned by most witchers and Geralt encounters him once. And when he does the dude holds a woman hostage until Geralt convinces him to stop and tells him he’ll let him go but he will absolutely hunt him down if he ever hears he kills another innocent again. Thats how he should’ve responded with the spare choice the sympathy Geralt has is bizarre
@ i have no idea either i just know it from neonknights videos i believe he did a video on what choices geralt would make based on his character from the books And he compared Geralts situation here with a dude from the book
18:35 their worlds moon and their planet must have unusual orbital characteristics, the crescent moon is nearly horizontal which would be near our equator on Earth ☀️ 🌘🌎 yet velen certainly doesn't seem like it.
On the collecting trophies point, it's interesting that Gaetan never went back for the leshen head. If the trophies were from previous massacres, why did he not take the leshen head too and Geralt deduces there was a trophy brought by the blood? Or did Gaetan not return bc of the shame? Idk which bc like a lot of the Witcher's stories it's up to interpretation, just something to think about.
I mean he is a killer but they did try to kill him.. went to far yes but they did try to off him after he saved them from the monster only to save some gold ( even tho elder was rich). there is no good ending to this story.
this was a mini dlc content for the game so i always considered sparing Gaetan the right thing to do for the follow reason: if Geralt does is its undertstandable and justified (you literally do the exact same thing in another village a few quests later) because geralt is the "main character" but somebody else aka another witcher doing it is wrong?
When does Geralt do the exact same thing? Geralt kills those who seek to kill him he nevers goes from home to home killing women, animals and probably children
There has not been one time where Geralt has slaughtered an ENTIRE village. Gaetan killed everyone in Honorton even the defenseless, one of the people Gaetan killed was an unarmed woman who he stabbed in the spine severing one of her vertebrae and leaving her paralyzed to bleed to death. I kill Gaetan every time because of that
@@chandlerburse i will give you a in game example you can even "fact check" by watching that shill luke steevens show in his playthrough of the first witcher game. the example im refering to is this: in the first village in the first witcher game you leave the cave after letting the witch Abigal live and the Reverand and others are there wanting to kill her. geralt tells them to leave her alone and try to live better lives aka NOT selling kids to slavers/ weapons to non-humans or their own daughter rejected by their own father or "i come back and kill every man woman and child that cant climb a tree". thats a direct game example of my point and my point being "if geralt does it then its not a crime or bad thing because he is the main/ player character but others doing it IS a crime because they are NOT the "main character"
@ thats just a hollow threat thats not the same Geralt has also let the guards at crows perch believe he killed an entire village so they let him in. Geralt is lying he wouldn’t ever actually do that.
An interesting detail. The girl, if you take her to her aunt in the village, asks Geralt "Will you visit me?" And if you come after some time, she will run up to the witcher and there will be a scene in which she will give him her drawing. Geralt will later be able to hang this drawing on the wall in Corvo Bianco.

It's been a while since I played, but I believe it does happen. You have to return to the girl before you go off looking for the Cat's stash
I mean he is a killer but they did try to kill him.. went to far yes but they did try to off him after he saved them from the monster only to save some gold ( even tho elder was rich). there is no good ending to this story.

The voice actress for the child was just awful.
this was a mini dlc content for the game so i always considered sparing Gaetan the right thing to do for the follow reason: if Geralt does is its undertstandable and justified (you literally do the exact same thing in another village a few quests later) because geralt is the "main character" but somebody else aka another witcher doing it is wrong?
When does Geralt do the exact same thing? Geralt kills those who seek to kill him he nevers goes from home to home killing women, animals and probably children
It seems like people don’t realize that Gaetan admits he went overboard i mean cmon
There has not been one time where Geralt has slaughtered an ENTIRE village. Gaetan killed everyone in Honorton even the defenseless, one of the people Gaetan killed was an unarmed woman who he stabbed in the spine severing one of her vertebrae and leaving her paralyzed to bleed to death. I kill Gaetan every time because of that
@@chandlerburse i will give you a in game example you can even "fact check" by watching that shill luke steevens show in his playthrough of the first witcher game. the example im refering to is this: in the first village in the first witcher game you leave the cave after letting the witch Abigal live and the Reverand and others are there wanting to kill her. geralt tells them to leave her alone and try to live better lives aka NOT selling kids to slavers/ weapons to non-humans or their own daughter rejected by their own father or "i come back and kill every man woman and child that cant climb a tree". thats a direct game example of my point and my point being "if geralt does it then its not a crime or bad thing because he is the main/ player character but others doing it IS a crime because they are NOT the "main character"
@ thats just a hollow threat thats not the same Geralt has also let the guards at crows perch believe he killed an entire village so they let him in.
Geralt is lying he wouldn’t ever actually do that.
