Roche vs Iorveth

[This game has no name]

For whom it is better to pass this game ? For Roche or Iorveth?

[Wolf Echo]

It's preference, honestly.

Definitely preference.

Well preference and also the things you want to know .. I won't spoil it for you as you are not that far.. but for roche you are in different place entire chapter 2 as well for Iorveth, you choose one of them and you end up in different location, also if you choose Roche, you won't get much info about 2 chars and some things and if you choose Iorveth it is the same ... but it is good to replay the game just for this :) I stick with Roche

It's a tradeoff. Without the withcer's help the other faction will perish. So if you help Roche, you're dooming Aedirn. And if you help Iorveth, you're leaving Temeria to be occupied.
I go with Iorveth.

It makes more sense for Geralt to go with Iorveth, in terms of character. ( In my opinion. )

In my opinion it Roche, as book Geralt is neutral, taking Iorveth side is going with elves, some would say Roche is going with humans, ( minor spoiler for first chapter ) but Geralt would mostly go with him as Roche gave him chance to pursue the kingslayer ( not Jamie ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Lannister xD ) so to "repay the debt"

Iorveth.

Went with Roche, on first playthrough and going with Iorveth this time. Will probably import the Iorveth save file to the witcher 3. Makes sense, as I did the Roche one years ago and can't remember what happened.

I went with Roche the first time. My HD fried and ironically I decided to go with Iorveth for my second playthrough. Not sure why people are saying you end up in a different area. You don't. You visit the same exact areas either way. The choice affects your relationships and knowledge about certain characters. After playing through both, I respect both equally. Possibly Roche a tad more since he helped you first, and helps you multiple times throughout the whole story. But I went with Iorveth because I wanted to fight against racism basically. Same thing basically happens Morosi...the only real difference I remember was being given the choice to screw Ves lol. And having to fight a lot of elves.

If you want to base your choice by Geralt's personality in the books, well the real Geralt would take the choice that brings him to the kingslayer faster. So if you think Roche or Iorveth can bring you to the kingslayer faster, choose one of them.

Otherwise it's up to you. But know that there is some things you get to know that you wouldn't get to know for each sides. It offers some replayability :).

Well on Iorveth's path, you get to screw one of the elves you saved

[Tenshin51]

Personally i think Roche is better due it's path is much more like your playing as a witcher compared Iorveth path your helping some bunch of peasant creating a state.

Also in Roche path you have a chance to kill all Loredo's family except for his lineage.

That's only if you save her though. If you go after Loredo then nope.

Yeah I didn't pursue Loredo. I'd choose to save innocent lives every time.
