The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

*SPOILERS* Saskia and Fate
SPOILER ALERT! Okay guys so I was finishing up Chapter 3 when you fight the dragon and we were flying through the air and Geralt managed to bring her to the ground and she was impaled on the tree sticking out of the ground (GO ME, EPIC MONSTER SLAYER). What I didn't realize at the time was that she was Saskia, and when I did realize (much much later), my head violently met my hand many many times of course. I had walked Iorveth's path and learned she was a dragon, but didn't realize that she and the dragon attacking in chapter 1 and in Loc Muinne (spelled right?) were one and the same. Silly me. I didn't realize that I could cure her. I also didn't realize that she could recover from such a wound if I were to walk away from her (that's what I took away from her wiki article anyway). As such, I felt sorry for the beast and ended her suffering. I don't want to go through it all again, as I don't believe that leaving her in the hands of Philippa Eilhart is the lesser evil, if you will. Therefore, I'm sticking with my decision to kill her, as my Geralt rescued his love Triss and didn't discover a cure. Soooooo here's my point and my questions. What did you guys choose when it came to Saskia? I know some people chose Roche's path and wouldn't have the opportunity to cure her. What do you guys think the best option was/may have been? In addition to your choice, what impacts on the world of The Witcher 3 do you think her loss/survival/survival under a spell will have, if any? I personally am not sure if Aedirn and Vergen could really survive as a free nation without Saskia's leadership and charisma. Had she survived, they might've had a much better chance, even if she was spellbound (although leaving her that way would still give me just as much doubt as I have now). That's what I'm thinking anyway, and in the wake of a Nilfgaardian invasion, I'm curious to see how even that morsel of choice can have its consequences.

But that's just me. OPINIONS PLEASE. Let me know if I've forgotten any details.

There are no dwarf witchers :)
I completed the game 2 times and I am on my 3rd playthrough.
When you play Roches Path you will meet Saskia ONCE, and you will never know that she's the dragon.
When you are on Iorweths Path and go rescue Triss, you won't have the opportunity to cure Saskia, but the Loge (don't know how its called in english) will be reestablished.
If you rescue Phillipa you will get the opportunity to get an enchanted dagger which will cure Saskia. Triss will be rescued by letho, but then a progrom against witches an sorceresses will begin and the Loge won't survive (Triss is safe though).

What we know form the last cutscene and form W3, Temeria won't survive, so rescuing Anais with Roche is not nesssecary, because Temeria won't survive.
In my opinion Saskia could really help Aedirn survive, but i don't know waht will happen with the Loge, Kaedwen, Redaniaand so on.
We will know in 2 days, when W3 releases.

You misspelled Yennefer, OP.

Lol yeah I agree Yennefer is and should be his true love (I mean look at that sexy babe) but she's not there in Witcher 2 as an option so I just went after Triss like a mad dog

Well, after reading the books for the 2nd time recently, I really don't trust Triss anymore. She more or less betrayed Yen and Ciri to the Lodge, so she can go to hell for all I care. Come Witcher 3, there will be only Yen for my Geralt. ;)
Only downside to not saving Triss is the witch hunt that ensues, so it was a tough decision for me, but I want to re-unite Temeria in Witcher 3 under Anais, so I had to save her and give her to Natalis obviously.

I spared Saskia though, in the hopes of getting to save her in Witcher 3, though I fear they won't give us that option. :/

Wow I didn't know Triss had done that. Now I'm not so sure about her :/
Reuniting Temeria is an interesting idea. I haven't played through Roche's side (yet) so I have to ask, what happened to Boussy? I don't know what the crown laws are/were in Temeria but I figured a male heir would take precedent. And yeah I'm not sure how Saskia will recover from a giant wound in her chest :/

Spoilers ahead, you've been warned. ;)

Yeah, she did. In the end she let Ciri go, but it's not like Ciri would've let her stop her anyway after Geralt's and Yennefer's death. She was loyal to the Lodge in the books and even though she at least claimed that she was still supporting her friends, her actions weren't really that supportive.

As for Boussy, he's dead. Play the Roche path for details, since I don't wanna spoil everything. They wanted to kidnap both kids, but Boussy died in the process, so only Anais remains.

Saskia, I'm sure she will recover from that tree, but at this point she's still under Philippa's spell.. not sure what would happen to the spell if we get to kill Philippa in 3 (which I really hope), but I would be happy if we get to disenchant her in 3. Then again, Roche path Geralt doesn't even know that Saskia is the dragon, let alone of the spell...

The one thing I hate about Witcher 2, all the endings have huge downsides... :(
i'm torn whether to free or kill her. i won't leave her to Philippa.

saskia didn't really resonate with me because her vision sounds like a fever dream. she got lucky with Henselt due to the Northern Conspirpacy, and i honestly don't see her lasting much longer if you free her. she practically got laughed off the summit. the only reason i would free her is to spite the sorceresses, which is tempting. but i could also do that by killing her...so i'm not sure.
I picked the Roche path first time round as it made perfect sense. Siding with the Elves in that moment makes none of it. Roche freed you and stopped your execution because he believed in you.

I slayed the Dragon on Roches path as i had no idea it was Saskia. On my second playthrough chosing Iorveth. I let her live. Though i cant remember an opertunity to cure her? It's4 years since i played this.

I'd also like to add that, even no it makes absolutely no sense siding with Iorveth. His 2nd act of the game is FAAAAAAAR more entertaining . I felt my self getting kinda bored with my Roches playthrough on my first time.

I've just srated this game again, and even though roches path is boring. Im going to go that route again because it makes sense and i want my import save that way.

Is it just me or does she remind you guys of Mila Kunis a bit??

true... Ves >>>> succubus tho.
Anyway, I agree that Iorveth path is overall a bit more interesting, mostly because it is far more diverse. However I just can't bring myself to support those Elven Terrorists. After reading the books I just hate the Scoia'tael with a passion. They're murderers and terrorists, nothing more, nothing less... talking all about "fighting for freedom" and all that, while murdering peasants left and right. And at the same time being made tools for Nilfgaard's invasion, thereby costing so many innocent people their lives...
I like non-humans in The Witcher (well, most Dwarves and Gnomes, many Elves are extremely arrogant and unlikeable as a result), but those Scoia'tael are scum.
Also, Geralt has literally 0 reason to go with Iorveth at that point, which imo is a bit weak from a story perspective. For the choice to make actual sense, they should have at least given us some motivation to help Iorveth. As it stands, the only reason to go with Iorveth for me would be to save Saskia, which is a meta-gaming reason, but from the game's story at this point, I just can't find a single reason for Geralt to help Iorveth over Roche. Probably the biggest flaw in TW2's story.
