Not sure about a decision here regarding The Woodland Beast

[dadzilla]

Without mentioning major spoiler what kind of consequence ensue if i kill the Scoia'tael band?

I tend to not interfere in their actions but the moral choice of letting them kill innocents is making me uneasy.

i dont know if you would consider it a spoiler but i killed them 60 hours of play ago. never heard about them since.

Hi Kratmir,

Thank i was really not sure about this one and eventual repercussions later in the game.

It depends on what path you took in the witcher 2. I am not sure it has an impact on what happens next but if you sided Scoia'tael in the second game, I don't see why you would kill them. It wouldn't be consistent with your decision throughout the story.

I killed them because they had threatened me lol. That was all it took. Nobody threaten me and get away with it, provided they numbered less than 10 :P

actually it makes perfect sense. in the witcher 2 they werent slaughtering people and they didnt have a contract on their head.

geralt is a mercenary first. with the occasional protector of the innocent moments

I didn't kill them for two reasons: first because I had a story with them in witcher 2 and second because witchers don't interfere with human vs elves wars.

THey were too arrogant for their own good so they must die :P I wanted to kill Iorveth so bad the first time I met him as well.

Normally i tend to be neutral but they didn't seem very friendly.

For me, they are somehow like the american indians tribes who wanted to resist against white invaders. And I understand their hatred for humans somehow. They were deprived of their lands and are outcast for being different.

"Innocents"? Not sure where you're getting that.

Well, technically he had a contract on a woodland beast, not a bunch of elves hiding in the woods. I initially killed them all because... loot. But then after turning the contract in, I really didn't like how the guy responded.

So... reload save, let them live.

If he hadn't been such a racist prick about it, I'd have left things alone. They were more bandits than anything else anyway... and I kill bandits on sight.

OK finally that how i deal with it, i told the Scoia'tael to do as they please and i return to the captain and told him i found nothing(either way you don't have any reward) then i there is a merchant near him that offer a quest to get the pass cheap.

I had a conundrum here as well, and here is how I solved it. Someone mentioned that Geralt is a mercenary so the right course of action was to kill them. That is wrong, Geralt is a Witcher, Witchers only take contracts on Monsters, not humans. They can kill humans, but not because of a contract - "my Geralt" often gets involved in conflicts out of his sense of Justice (I might be a bad witcher) --- In this case, I did not kill them, and as for his sense of justice (at least my version of Geralt), the Scoia'Tael were only ambushing soldiers, as their leader states. Lastly, the Reds are pricks. :) So not only I did not kill them, I did not give them the information about the Scoia'Tael.
