I just can't decide - Olgierd or Gaunter O Dimm?

[Trondheim]

Olgierd is a criminal scum. However, Gaunter is basically Satan. Should i let Gaunter rekt him? Nobody forced Olgierd to make a deal with O Dim, so i kinda think he deserves what he got. Am i wrong?

One of the mainstays to the Witcher franchise is that often, there is no 'good' option. You make the best choice you can, and live with the consequences.

I'm not a follower of O'Dim either, but Olgierd forgot that all bills must be paid. And I can't deny that Gaunter has right for it.

I went with O'Dimm for a few simple reasons.
Olgierd is obviously a criminal scum, he did all the bad ♥♥♥♥ you can imagine to people, also remember his brother. Both don't care a bit for everyone and would kill a person to get what they want. Oh yea, don't forget that Olgierd with his gang simply took over a house making a daughter of the owner so serve them. And burned the place to the ground afterwards.

And O'Dimm is way too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ powerfull thing, whatever he is, a demon, a satan, whatever. you don't wanna ♥♥♥♥ with him trying to save Olgierd. I know you can easily help Olgierd and defeat O'Dimm, but this outcome didn't make much sense to me in regards of story.

The thing i like about CDPR is that by the end of this DLC on one hand you feel sad for a criminal piece of ♥♥♥♥ Olgierd, but on the other hand your voice of reason is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Satan. And somehow you may feel that helping one of them means doing the right thing.

I did what Geralt would do and chose the "lesser evil" :P

[Eldritch]

I would have picked Olgierd....he's my honey pie. But I had to kill him for the sweet loot. So if you care more about loot than Olgierd, then side with O'Dimm.

Siding with Olgierd gives good loot too. His Iris sword is magnificent at making those annoying shield enemies drop their shields in one heavy strike.

[Keldrath]

It's a lesser evil kind of thing. Olgierd made a lot of mistakes he is not innocent. On the other hand he's not the personification of Evil itself.

I believe Olgierd did everything he did out of desperation. The only reason he ever made the pact with O'Dimm in the first place was because he was about to lose his true love. Unfortunately for him, O'Dimm likes to play with words and he gave Olgierd a heart of stone. Imagine what it would be like to feel nothing? No pleasure, no joy, no love. Everything that is worth living for is stripped from you yet you are doomed to live for eternity. He did what he did after that in desperate attempts to feel something, anything. Was he innocent? Absolutely not, but should be be doomed to eternal damnation (whatever O'Dimm does with his souls)? Probably not.

[Guywars]

I mean the game basically screams at you to defend Olgierd.....just look at the difference between those 2 endings....
And i kinda felt sorry for Olgierd in the end.

[Gabriel]

From the moral point of view, Olgierd was trying to do what was best for his family when he quite literally made a deal with the Devil; and was turned into a cold heartless monster. Road to hell paved with good intentions and all that.

From a loot point of view, siding with Olgierd gives you the chance to get the Viper school silver sword. :-P

Question's whether Olgierd got corrupted by O'Dimm...

That said in ideal universe you'd have option not to help any or even kill both :P

Hasn't Olgierd paid enough already for his mistakes? Should he also pay with his soul?

Probably not, I still like him to though at least on NG, because the rewards for saving him don't last very long, but if you let him get taken you can get the best saddle in the game that turns Roach black and it remains useful forever, so I like to go with that option and reward instead at least once.

Olgierd. But I chose O-Dimm for the horse armor. I did both though and Olgierd is better. Plus, his wife loves him and I like his wife. Also, O-Dimm is kind of a cuck.

PS. You get nice phat loots either way (And watch for the Viper Silver Sword in the Stone bro).
I've sided with Olgierd both times myself; but i know how both end...
Iris is a great Steel Sword.
PS. I treat Olgierd in the same light as Philip Strenger:
Methinks, "Maybe now you'll right some other wrongs as Pennance for your serious Derp".
PPS. The first time I did the T. Prince fight, and those Ofieri dudes on the beach was a ♥♥♥♥♥ (Deathmarch).
