Scoi'atael or Order of The Flaming Rose?

[Atom.Little]

Which faction did you choose, Scoi'atael or Order of The Flaming Rose?

I thought I could remain neutral, and I can to a degree, but I had to chose which side to help when the bank hostage situation came about. I refused to pick a side and also refused to help the Scoi'atael, so I was sided with The Order.

What choice did you make, and why? Would you make the same choice again?

In books he's always neutral, until he's forced to choose, like in game. Because his profession he's often treated like a tool so he learned to keep his own side, which means, mostly, everybody hates him.

This is pretty much how my real life has always been, so I can relate to him.

And this is also what lead me to automatically make the choices that I would've made in real life, which means I was making neutral choices while sometimes helping one side out and not the other when I thought doing so would be better than helping the opposite side or helping no one - not because I was on one side against the other, but because it was the right thing to do in that particular situation.

But in the game this lead me to be considered on The Order's side which did annoy me somewhhat. So if I play the game again in the future, I'll make sure to remain neutral.

.........

I would still love to hear from more people which side you chose, and why you chose it. Would you choose the same side if you were to play the game again?

Don't hold back - and don't be shy, lol...

Just tell us what faction you think is the right one for you. ;D

I just finished the book and i am going to go back into this games picking the same choices that i did before. which was the Scoi'atael.

Scoia'tael case maybe are not achievable but it's seems to be closer to Geralt. He has experience with nearly impossible cases (his fight with his Fate). He met them before and sympathized them but also he thought their leaders are proud and foolish.

I've played Scoia'tael side early in the game, but in Vivaldi's Bank i choose The Order. In Village final mission I started to be neutral and in last fight i choose to fight for soul.

I played this game again, as a badass ;) And had some fun also.

I think they've done a good job of making Geralt not closer to one or the other. He's not an elf, but he's also no longer (a nomral) human, but he has the potential to side with either group or to remain neutral.

This is exactly how I see it. What put me off what Yaewyn's arrogance, I would never side with a leader like him irl, it would be like setting myself and a large group of people up to fail and maybe even die for the sake of a self absorbed prick.

Would you side with the Scoia'tale gain in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3?

Lol. At the beginning I wasn't sure if The Flaming Rose and the villagers' religion was one and the same. :D

I have sided with the Scoia'tale in the witcher 2. I am not sure if there are going to something like that again in the witcher 3 but i could see it happening.

I think it'll be there in some form again in The Witcer 3. Making choices is important to the whole idea of The Witcher series, it's part of how your character is involved rather than an observer - even when you choose to remain neutral - so it would be almost like a different game if this element was removed. But we'll just have to wait and see, and you're right, it is very difficult to predict anything about The Witcher 3.

Hey guys so right now I am in chapter 2 at the point where I can either help Seigfried or the other dude with the Scoia'tel in the swamp.. my question is, depending on who I decide to help out on this mission, does that dictate who I will be siding with for the rest of the game? I actually kind of like Siegfried, I hunted that monster with him in the sewers and then did another mission for him after that. He seems like a cool dude, so for that reason Im leaning towards helping him.. but at the same time I dont know much about the order besides the fact that they protect humans from monsters which is pretty much the same thing I do.. so I just want to know if the order is all good guys like him or if they secretly are evil or something.

I do not think it will effect who you side with the rested of the game at that point . that choice comes in chapter 3 i think ,

Okay are you absolutely positive on that though? Anyone else know for sure?

i am not a 100 % sure but there are other parts where you can take the other side then what you did be fore. I am pretty sure that in the swamp the other side will not be happy if you did not chose them.

Oh okay, thanks man!

It's not a hard question to answer without spoilers, guys.

There is a very prominent piece of equipment you can acquire for the game's last chapter. Who you side with will determine what it does. The "humans" version of the gear will provide huge physical buffs - I'm not kidding, by luck I went with a melee-intensive Order supporter and acquiring that gear took me from well-prepared to OP pretty abruptly. The non-human version will similarly aggressively boost your magical abilities. The neutral version will give you 50% of all benefits of the other two, plus some immunities. On paper that means the neutral one is best, though tactically the least useful for any specialized build. (Not unlike neutral you!)

The factions themselves are morally comparable. I would side with the humans; they treat you with more respect, they operate within the law much more often and your character is supposed to have lost his memories - he shouldn't be as attached to a bunch of elves and dwarves as to the humans who are the only people he knows. The humans are trying to establish rule of law, but the non-humans are fighting for their lives. With the humans, you'll be pushing a desperate people closer to extinction. With the non-humans, you'll be assisting violent criminals. If you're neutral, both sides will condemn you for refusing to help them. One of your best friends will condemn you for declining to take either side - both if you go neutral. There's a woman on each side who will only sleep with you if you take their side in the war.

Of your main love interests, neither will condemn your choice and your role in the war doesn't affect when you'll be able to see either.

For beginners I would recommend the simplicity of a physical build with the positive feedback of the human path. Fans of situational complexity and desperate situations may enjoy a Sign/alchemy-intensive approach, and the Elven path. If you enjoy not being constrained by genre and don't mind really hard levelling choices, take the neutral path, emphasize the offensive means of your choice and build a defensive tank.

That is very good information, Brett2foreman.

I can attest to the impact that remaining neutral will have on your surroundings depending on whether you "side" with Iorveth or Roche. I stayed with Roche for the same reasons as you laid out. As for the Elves being overall less welcoming, that is also true (and slightly annoying if you ask me).

I chose the Elves and Dwarves.
