About the quest "Wild at Heart" (careful Spoilers)

[Mermidion]

Okay, so far i love the game.but....



There is just a thing that annoys me a litte. And thats how this game treats Werewolves.
from the intro when you first start the game,the bestiarium and finally this quest.
In this quest,regardless of what you choose in the end the Werewolf dies at Geralts hands and Geralt does not even try to help the werewolf with his curse.
Even thought in the Past (Witcher 1) he had the option to fight side by side with a Werewolf that managed to control himself and fighted criminals.
Also Geralt implies in Witcher 3 in another quest with Mislav the hunter that he could help with Lycanthropy (probatly meaning without killing).but here he doesn't even mentioned it at all.

i think this quest could have been written a litte better.thoughts?

In this quest,regardless of what you choose in the end the Werewolf dies at Geralts hands and Geralt does not even try to help the werewolf with his curse.

To be fair, Nielle didn't want to live and asked Geralt to kill him. He even admitted he couldn't commit suicide because he's too much a coward to do it (his words). I was hoping to spare him, too. But I understood his pain when he asked Geralt to kill him. There was no option to save him because he didn't want to be saved.

Though I did notice that Geralt behaved differently with Nielle than with Mislav (who wasn't a werewolf anyway). More aggressive. Perhaps because he was confronting him in his werewolf form instead of as a human?

I'll agree that at least presenting the option to Nielle would have been nice, even if he refused.

[Mermidion]

Yes,thats what i was thinking too.right at the spot where Nielle was on the ground and the woman begged at Geralt not to hurt him (before she reveals that she let him kill his love.), that was the time where Geralt could have mentioned something like "There could be another way..."

[Caz]

I still would've let him kill her, though. Talk about a prick move by the sister!

[Mermidion]

heh, i let him kill here too,she deserved it.

I let her live, a witcher got his contract and ends it, doesnt care about humans. My contract was finding out what got his wife+ get rid of it. I did that.

What got rid of Nielle's wife was the sister. "I didn't mean for her to get hurt!" followed by "No one can love you like I can!" Stalker Logic! So you killed Nielle and let the murderer go free. ;)

Didn't Nielle's journal mention that he has already tried every cure, and none of them worked?

[Renegade]

He tried traditional cures,can't remember how you cured the guy in W1,but my point is that the guy didn't want to be cured at that point.Having learnt truth that he killed his lover,he just wanted to die.

does not mean that Geralt doesn't know any other possibly cure either.he also mentioned that he got this cures from Fairy tales and as Geralt mentioned in other quests,Fairy tales are often only half true.so who knows if he even had tried the proper cure?
Geralt could have at least made an attempt to help him, if Nielle would have refused or if the cure would have failed,that would be another story.but at least he would have tried.

That is why i pointed out that i would liked for Geralt to mention something before it was revealed to Nielle that he killed his love.but oh well.

That would be kind of hard considering that Geralt didn't know the whole story before the sister confessed.

Well let me check.
-Geralt heard from the kids of the smith that the victim(Hanna) walked into the forest following another woman.
-Geralt found the victim torn to pieces and quickly recognices a Werewolfs work.
-The sister of the victim begs Geralt not to investigate any further,
-Geralt found the place of the Werewolve with notes that mention Hanna (the victim) and how the werewolf loved her and wanted to hide from her.
-Geralt hurts the Werewolve and Hannas sister comes to protect the Werewolve and tells Geralt to not harm him.

At that exact point its not Rocket science.Really i saw that coming already earlier.I think Geralt would have figured that out too and could have said something before the sister opened her mouth and confessed.

Yeah but in that case why would she be there?Burning love?Plus I don't think it would fit Geralt's character.Witcher have always strived to be neutral,that's why I always try and not keep secrets.Even if they would make matter worse.

ah interesting point.see i think Witchers a Neutral too that is exactly why i think Geralt should at least mentioned something instead of his "Kill the Beast" attitude in this quest.

She lured here there, still the werewolf couldnt control himself and killed his wife, if he had control over it i wouldve let him live, just like i kinda let every succuby and godling get away. Btw can somebody explain godlings,lucca and Bucca or so to me? i dont understand their races at all.
