Salma the Succubus, possible endings?

[[BWCC] Funk]

Just encountered Salma and chose to kill her. wondering if this will have repercussions and if i had spared her things might have been different? Anybody experienced the possibilities?

No idea, I let her live and told her to leave Novigrad, haven´t heard from her yet.

Yeah i understand there are consequences, the first time i let her live and the Bestiary said Geralt may come to regret that, that's why im asking.

i saw her again later in a mainquest, but didnt make a difference, just saw her in the side of my eye, no reaction to it nothing.

I let the succubus live. Who knows maybe Geralt someday needs a roommate alongside his GF.

[AsuraStrike]

I really wanted to bone her so I let her live. Sadly nothing happened.

[Mezhavecis]

Funny, that when I let her live, she gave me Maugrim sword, the same I already had at that moment, but when I killed her, I got Assassin's Gauntlets, also was wearing them at that moment. I thought at first the game glitched, cloning my stuff.

Nothing happen on the later game. Kill her and grab her Succubi Mutagen. Though it's question of morality, but it's a game anyways.

It's 2 different Succubus.

The only correlation I have found so far is that letting her live becomes one of the answers you get to say during "Skellige's Most Wanted" DLC. You have to prove to a group of monsters that you have helped monsters too. If you have done some of the side/main quests for Triss and Dandilion that help Dudu (while looking for Ciri). Or if you choose to help Johnny (Crookbackbog) and Sara (Haunted House). Those should be enough. You just need 2.

But letting Salma live during "Deadly Delights" pops up as an answer as well. I assume if you have not helped any monsters, and thusly have no answers, you'll have to fight all of the monsters in "Skellige's Most Wanted", instead of just one.

I have yet to see something negative for letting her live.

No, I don't think there are any repercussions for letting her live or killing her - at least not in any game or story changing sense.

For me however it was one of the more moral/ethical choices I encountered in the game.

Generally, in most legends/mythology Succubi and Incubi are considered demons that feed off of someone's life energy (through sex) until they eventually die. Their intention is very much to kill their target and they're considered to be evil beings. However in the Witcher world they're actually rather benevolent, sentient creatures who just wanna boink all day and sometimes, like in Salma's case, one or more of those men can succumb to the rigorous physical toll which doing nothing but having sex all-day, every day can take.

That small change to them (the benevolent part) really changes things

They're not really benevolent, they're more like a symbiotic parasite. I mean, they don't really have people's best interests at heart or help out of altruism (like a Godling or other guardian spirit might). They just want to get it on. True, she did warn that old guy that it could kill him, but she went and did it anyway. A benevolent creature wouldn't have done it in the first place.

I think it's fair to say that they're not immoral like an evil creature would be, but they are definately amoral - that is to say, they don't really recognize or live by a sense of morality. They just like sexy time.

I let her leave Novigrad, and she ended up giving me a sword that was either on par or sub par to the one I was already carrying... I would have preffered Geralt to atleast get a BJ.

Most secondary quests and witcher contracts don't have long term consequences, it's more about presenting you a difficult choice, that is one of those quests.

Why should you let her live? Well, Geralt being the tedybear that he is doesn't kill sentient monsters who have at least some semblance of humanity, after all she says she killed in "self-defense" and you don't know nor care for the people she killed. Or maybe you just want to shag her.

Why should you kill her? She killed some people, yeah it was in "self-defense" but a murder is a murder, you got hired to find and kill the monster who did it. What stops her from killing again somewhere else if she gets careless again. Plus she's one of the only 2 chances you'll get to snag succubi mutagen to create the succubi decoction (if you're into alchemy or collecting alchemical ingredients/recipes).

It comes down to what you think is right.

[Candy Witch]

I can't tell if there's any negative consequence to letting her live, unless a future DLC will introduce such. The only thing I can think of is that you miss up on a possible Succubus mutagen, because the other Succubus in the game is much more clearly innocent, not having actually killed anybody. There's no evidence that Salma murdered in cold blood, and her story of self-defense sounds plausible, so it depends on how much of a hypocrite you think Geralt would be to punish her for killing, and how badly you want that mutagen.
