[SPOILER ALERT] Great Escape moral question

[Elder Drake]

SPOILER ALERT
Do not read further if you do not want a late game story quest to be partially spoiled.







I am curious to know what calls people made at the end with Sile (if she was alive in your game from carry over either via save file from Witcher 2 or the emulation in the begining when you are questioned about events regarding her and others like Letho).

I at first did the deed as Yen looked impulsively to me. I chose Triss to romance but I decided at first to save her the pain with the call. Then the following scene disturbed me a little and afterwards you can see blood on her gown as if it was a stomach strike (painful). I reloaded and let Yen do it and it seemed more humane (a quick spell, no screams or moans) and peaceful as well as no blood but Yen looked agonized by making the call as she did it.

So curious to see what other people chose to do, myself I just am not playing Geralt as a man that would put a woman down like that when a less painful alternative was there. Question is would that pain scar Yen a bit and make her even more jaded. Would killing a woman in this way scar Geralt given you had to of spared her for her to even be there. I love this game for the moral nuances like this, it is a really grey area with many troubling facets.

Geralt's seen a lot of ♥♥♥♥. I'll just say that. I think he'll be fine and Yen'll be fine.

Agreed but I still love how the game makes you make the tough call where things are not always black and white. Side note that I thought of, anyone else catch Ciri talking about worlds she had been to and one sounding like a Cyberpunk kind of one? I can't remember what she said but delayed memory kicked as I did this quest and I was like damn, wonder if that was a coy nod to CDPRs next big game.

She was talking about flying cars and people had metal in their hands, I believe. It was most definitely a nod to Cyberpunk.

As for Sile - I didn't really care who finished her off and I doubt Geralt would either. If you read the character description in the menu, there was animosity between the two. It makes more sense for Geralt to do it because Yen can at least get on with escaping with the other sorceress while Geralt has to stay behind and escape conventionally anyway.

Something very strange happened in my game...I killed Sile at the end of W2 but I got the journal entry saying she was alive in the Oxenfurt prison. However, I didn't get a cutscene prompting me to put her out of her misery so I guess it was just a weird glitch?

I read of that happening before, it does indeed seem to be a minor Glossary entry mistake.
