Even the Gwent Tournament autosaves between rounds so you don't need to start the whole thing over if you fail.

This appears to be the only situation where this applies, as you can Save Scum the hell out of any other situation. If you max out the annoyance meter and fail a contract negotiation, then reload the last save to try again, your first proposal will automatically be a Critical Failure and you'll be forced to accept the minimum reward. In general, unless reloading the last save after death, you will have to sit through a lengthy narration every time you load your game. The gentleman's complexion is light enough. Sarcasm-Blind: The chamberlain that helps prepare Geralt for his audience with Emhyr.Ĭhamberlain: ( studies Geralt for a few seconds) No need.It's implied that he was driven to madness by his fear of Philippa Eilhart's revenge, so he started burning all mages and nonhumans out of a paranoid delusion that they're all secretly conspiring with Eilhart. He's begun making bizarre metaphors about chess, betraying everyone around him, and engaging in Disproportionate Retribution wherever possible.

Sanity Slippage: Far from the manipulative Chessmaster of the first two games, King Radovid is suffering this.Do you let her become a Witcher and run away with you at the expense of sacrificing all of the North to fall under Nilfgaard/Radovid/Dijkstra's heel? Or do you push her into a role she's never wanted right in the middle of all the politicking she's avoided all her life for the sake of stopping the war for good? There's no right answer either way. The third option is not to take the quest at all, which leads to an outcome far worse than the previous two by leaving a totally insane tyrant to rule the North and burn/impale everything non-human or magical. Geralt can either save Roche and condemn three nations of the North to Nilfgaard's rule- or just leave them to sort it out themselves, which he's fully aware leads to Dijkstra's victory. Dijkstra reveals he has no intention of surrendering to the Empire and intends to fight on, based on recent information from Geralt, but this would result in a unified North with Temeria firmly under Redania's control. Roche celebrates with Thaler and Ves by revealing they've made a separate peace with Nilfgaard that cedes Lyria and Aedirn to the Emperor as well as makes Temeria a vassal state. Happens again in Reasons of State when Radovid is assassinated.And even then, one of the in-game books implies that the "murdered druidess" spirit is the spirit of the being that created the Crones. Killing her means the orphans die, but letting her escape means she kills every man, woman, and child in Downwarren, besides ending in Anna and Phillip's deaths. A malicious spirit of a murdered druidess who has been killing people left and right promises to release a group of children set for sacrifice.Unfortunately coupled with a very short life span, as the Crones simply fatten the children to be eaten. This also happens to NPCs in Velen, since they're living in a literal war zone - do they send some children off to "gather mushrooms" or "follow the trail of treats", or let the entire family starve because there are too many mouths to feed? As it turns out, unlike the player might have expected, the "trail of treats" does exist and there's food and shelter on the other side.King: Every decision you make will bring devastation.
