What if Thaler died in W1?

[Saninsince992]

One thing that's bothering me and I can't find an answer to. What if Thaler died in your Witcher 1 save? Does anyone know or did anyone import a save where he died?

He survived in mine, and since he has some vital points in W3 (as in, he is VITAL for completing GWENT deck, and he is part of the "A Deadly Plot" side-quest which is pretty vital to the story, I am very interested in how the game works if he actually died in the first game.

Anyone knows?

Witcher 1 save does not affect tw3 at all I think. Only tw2 save. So Thaler lives all the way

That's pretty weird, W1 affected W2, and Thaler's situation from W1 affected if you'd hear from him in 2 or not, so I just assumed that since W2 registers what happened to Thaler that would carry over to W3 from 2.

EDIT: Jesus did I write that stupid confusing, but you get what I mean.

Huh weird... Would still like to hear from someone who played all the way from W1 and had Thaler die.

It's just weird to imagine someone playing W2 and hearing how Thaler died in 1 for him, and then seeing him again in Witcher 3 :P

Hehe, I have played from the first game, imported my save with Thaler alive to tw2 and imported my save from tw2 to tw3 .. but yea, would be nice to hear it from someone who has dead Thaler in tw1

The main problem with W3 story that it completely ignores everything that happened in W1 and ignores half of stuff happened in W2. I'm sure they did it to make storytelling a bit easier for themselves but in the end it seems your choices didn't matter at all.

Well the choices for ending in tw3 don't really matter, because when you end the game free roam takes place before the final chapter. At least if we saw the consequences and could talk about them with some chars

Thaler never showed up in either the second game or this one for me and. When Thaler was confronting De Wett and you were supposed to choose a side I just decided to walk away. I can confirm the data from the first game carried over.

I like there are some throwbacks like with Shani, and obviously Letho and stuff. But what really annoys me is that they literally ignore the whole Iorveth and Saskia side of Witcher 2, I don't think they even mention that. Hell, even Roche is barely mentioned as to what he and Geralt did in Witcher 2. He seems seriously stale and uninterested in Witcher 3.

But he has a vital role in one of the sidequests in Witcher 3. You should check out if you did the quest "A Deadly Plot", and if you did and Thaler didn't appear, I'm curious as to how that worked.

On another note, the gwent quest for old acquintances also uses him in Witcher 3, and it's a unique card.

Roche has big role in quests deadly plot and reason of state, you can also finish his quest eye for eye and is even in one main mission quest .. at least something.

I think a small misunderstanding happened here. When I mentioned "the end" I meant the whole W3 story which is almost independent from previous games if you didn't count Letho encounter and Roche story. I'm sure if you don't use your W2 saves and don't create the world state through the questioning after the prologue, nothign will change in game or almost nothing. That's the point.

What I meant is he doesn't refference what happened in Witcher 2, which is annoying. One sentance about if you went with him or Iorveth would have been nice, and not much to ask, but he literally ignores Witcher 2. I mean, I suppose it's better than not even getting a mention like Iorveth, but it's still a bit of a dissapointment.

What you've done in W1 and W2 matters in W3. Those choices still exist in the universe... you just don't see some of it in TW3. Dissapointing I have to say.
