So...Silver Basilisk.. Have you spared it? ;)

[Zeretrelle]

After all.. the last of its kind in the wold ;)

[Kettastrophe]

From what I could see, the lord of the land CLEARLY posted warnings advising against trespassing. I'd liken this to a game reserve. Regardless of the doomed nature of the subspecies, I wasn't about to kill a beast that minded it's own within easily avoidable territory. The guilds were taking advantage of the insurance payouts on their goods and the lord's generosity. I'll make my coin elsewhere- MY Geralt has no interest in assisting human greed.

[PostNutClarity]

It both literally and figuratively doesn't matter.

Im choose not to kill it but my reason is much more easier to understand, monster slowly decline meaning less work for witcher, so why should i have to extinct it ? i did rather let it breed, it's a long term benefit

Idiots don't deserve to die.

Just who is to blame if folks get run over by trains despite several notices that warn against crossing a railway line under any circumstance? Couple that with the many alternatives (safe ones) specifically intended for pedestrians to cross over platforms. Do you ban trains and execute the motorman? I can't call for a ban on fire either solely because I put my hand into it and suffered a burn. Idiots have no one to blame but themselves for their own mistakes.

I killed her, Felt kind of bad in doing so but it's for the good of all in the end. If I would not have killed her she would simply kill again and get more contracts put on her. Besides, there is no saving a sub species with 1 remaining member. That is not how biology works. Even if she had eggs, there would not be enough genetic diversity for the species to survive

If you spare her, the guy mentions that she found a mate and that they may make a new cross breed together. Who knows, maybe the white basilisk trait would win out. Either way, they can still breed with regular basilisks.

Plus, there's all sorts of evidence that she doesn't even kill people but might be more of a scavenger. You find out later that bandits were doing killing merchants and blaming it on the beast. You can hang out right by her nest and she won't come down because "she senses danger." When looking for her, you find that corpse that doesn't have many marks and was being pulled to her nest but was for some reason abandoned. This implies she dipped when live people were coming. Later on, you see her flying around and not harming anyone. The guy finally blocks the roads.

Killed it. My Geralt is a Witcher. Through and through. Vesemir would have killed it.

If we post signs saying that an area has an active volcano and people still venture too closely to it and die, are we to blame the volcano or the idiots who did not heed the warnings?

There were ample warnings about the basilisk. People got what they deserved. Should a creature be made extinct because of the foolishness of others? No,they should not.

Looking at the note on one of the bodies, it was the vinyard (?) who specifically ordered the merchants to take the route or the merchants were out of work. Just like that noble overlooked, it was innocents who paid the price at the end of the day, as their employer was going to keep sending caravans to keep getting compensation pay from the noble.
Killing the basilisk was the only way to end the cycle of stupid.

Not to mention it means nothing that the basilisk was foreign, especially considering that basilisks are invasive to begin with, making it laughable that the noble said killing it would ruin the ecosystem.

Each Geralt is unique to it's player preferences and have his own personal moral compass =)
Doesn't matter if Vesemir or anyone else would do a certain thing or if he's a witcher. HOWGH

[dhib]

I spare the beast
1- the beast eat animal- carcass on the nest
2- letter i found on 2nd body- mention payment of insurance, they know about the beast,
3-the merchant intentionally bring goods with a strong smell to disturb the beast
4-Geralt don't kill beasts that have sentience and do not disturb human
5- the land belongs to the count, the merchant trespassing land of others, and the count even give the warning
6- the land situated far from another village
7- witcher have two swords for both type of monsters inside the forest and behind the stone wall

the only reason to kill would be the loneliness of the last species

[Alin.]

Spared her without a second doubt.

[hillanddale]

Way I see it, the basilisk's mate had died, and she threw her eggs out of her nest and broke them, so there was no way it could have continued the line of silver basilisks. If the eggs were still intact, and the chicks would have died without their mother to care for them, I might have chosen differently

[Valden21]

Spared her. My take on this is that the merchants were asking for what happened to them, and that the noble who was protecting her had gone very far out of his way to make sure that she remained undisturbed. The merchants could have obeyed the warnings and gone the long way around. It would have taken longer, but they would still be alive. However, they didn't do that. Instead, they ignored the warnings, and got killed because of it.

[Castyles]

I killed it. I didn't wanted to, in the first place. Just wanted to see what it looked like.

Am going to reload a previous save, spare it and spawn the Squire's sword via console commands.

Why do you want the sword?

Because it was better than the Grandmaster Bear Sword I was wielding.
