Questions about The Warble of a Smitten Knight quest.

[Fakingvideo4kforlowspeedinternet]

Can someone explain me why telling the truth to Guillaume is better than keeping Vivienne's secret to him? How would I know the first choice is the best? These choice proof nothing but my luck and it's ♥♥♥♥ing ridiculous.

That's the point you're not supposed to know if a choice is going to be the best, or have a happy ending, if it does then that's just a bonus.

If you tell him you can convince her to pass the curse onto him instead of freeing her from it using a ritual that will only allow her to live for 7 more years.

What do you mean "it's better" ? You think turning Guillaume in a monster that's probably gonna get butchered by another witcher some years from now better than having the wench live only for 7 more years? wtf dude

In blind playthrough, how do i know that he will survive or he will do something like that. It's about my luck isn't it?

Yeah, I got it now but this one really piss me off when i redo the quest and find out there is a good ending. That's okay, i will not focus about getting best consequences in this game again.

Because he actually gets the girl in the end and doesn't actually get the curse because true love broke it.

Actually, he didn't turn into a monster in the good ending, that's why it piss me off because it really has a happy ending in this game.

After finishing this quest, i feel like i am a jerk because of my bad action lol.

[Ser Bastien]

That's the realism of the game coming into play. What seems like the best choice, might not always work out. And you very well could make a great choice, but people are still going to be pissed. example: Jon Snow! ;)

In the first book of short stories The Last Wish, there is a curse only broken by true love. I think it was an easter egg of sorts from the developers to those who have read the books, because Geralt mentions that particular story to Vivienne when they first meet at the lake.

He does indeed turn into a monster, just like with the girl however it takes years before it fully affects him.

If you return to him later he even mentions he's started growing feathers.

The Witcher games have always been about unforeseen circumstances happening much later than the decisions you made to bring them about.
