Witcher 2 - Every Choice GERALT Would Make [All Quests]

Just wanted to say, that this video was fantastically put together and very entertaining - I’d love to watch a Witcher 3 version as well

Peasants: Accuse Stennis of attempted murder. Stennis: Starts talking about how he's royalty and therefore better than everyone else. 200 IQ move right there

Your summation of Geralt's gesture towards Letho before walking away is perfect

Wow, the Little Sisters quest is so much deeper than it appeared to, when I played I was just like "Evil ghost, die" and never thought of it again. Then it turns out there is a huge big brain plot behind that you can only piece together by replaying and getting different endings for the quest.

The way Geralt says: S w e e t D r e a m s to the female troll is magical indeed! :D

I was lucky to be able to watch this when it was first uploaded. So glad you were able to get it up again Neon, its one of my favourite videos of yours!

I missed this the first time around so thank you for taking the time and effort to bring it back to your channel. I think I speak for most of your subscribers in paying tribute to the sheer quality and depth of your content. Let's hope there's some exciting additions to the upcoming release of the next gen witcher.

Flotsam is so great. A small town away from civilization, but being a part of this civilization nonetheless. It is something that is not possible to replicate in an open world game. Awesome video 👍

I like to pride myself on having hundreds of hours on the W2 alone, but I’ve never heard the Little Sisters Quest put into so much detail and actually I never heard that interpretation. I just thought that the 3 specters disguised themselves as the sisters to purposefully kill the soldier, but I never figured out their motive.

The Witcher 2 was where I started, weirdly enough, because my rubbish laptop wouldn't run the third one and I wanted to play something, at least, and had too hard a time with the first game. But it's honestly what got me hooked, and I loved it, in spite of how clunky it was - and I played it through probably 10 times just to explore each of the endings and choices. I absolutely LOVED this video, because it brought back both memories and a sense of nostalgia, but also reminded me how intense and meaningful The Witcher 2 was when I played through it. So for one, thank you for that!! ♥I also loved the insight into "What would Geralt do", especially compared to the choices I made, because I had no context on any of it when I did play it, and it was really cool to see. I can only imagine what kind of work this took to assemble, but I would (personally) be ALL over this same take on the third one!!

You should make a Witcher 3 version of this especially with the next gen update on the way. This was a very interesting and informative video. Good work 👏🏾

I agree so much that Stennis is not hated enough! The only good thing about him is his Gwent Card in Witcher 3

This video very nicely highlights one of my main issues with 3. Despite being the shorter game, 2 feels like it has so many more hard choices where there's no clear cut right or wrong, or situations where there are purposefully vague information to really lean into how Geralt isn't psychic but simply has to do his best with the information he has. There are definitely some tough ones in 3 as well, but there's just so many choices that are outrageously WTF out of character options for Geralt like "Act like a dick to an orphan", "Snitch on nonhumans to local witch hunters", "Leave your friends to die", "Kill longtime acquaintance for minor slight", etc. etc.

I’m SO glad you got this back up! Great insights and as always, very smart points. I would LOVE for you to do this with The Witcher 3.

This was *fantastic*, Neon. I'd like this twice if I could. I won't tell you to spend 20 years making a W3 version of this, but I'd watch the hell out of it if you did.

I have never touched a single Witcher book until the long wait between 2 and 3. I am proud to say that my decisions in Witcher 2 perfectly matched the ones you listed, simply based on the lore available in the first two games, and my understanding of who the White Wolf is, as a person. Your masterful analysis truly put the capstone on the great design the first two had, even if their gameplay is... flawed to say the least. It really showed me why the hollow feeling I was left with at the end was so satisfying, I set out to clear my name of regicide, ended up an accessory to another regicide anyway, the actual assassin is a friend I am beholden to and one I owe big time, the massive big bad dragon I refused to consign to extinction (took Roche's path didn't even know it was Saskia at the time), my friend I could not help to carry on hope for Temeria, the non-humans got purged anyway, and the evil sorceress that orchestrated it all was just as duped as I was, I couldn't just stand by and watch her explode... In the end, I was left with a hollow feeling, I had accomplished nothing, got involved in a lot of politics and bore witness to a great deal of treachery and suffering, even Triss turned out to not be the famed sorceress that Geralt was in love with... I still insist that while the gameplay and sidequest stories of Witcher 3 are a massive upgrade, nothing any game has done (not just Witcher 3) matches the "so that's it huh?" Feeling that Witcher 2 gives you if you stick to Geralt's character. The same character they've been drip feeding you just sufficiently enough information to get you to question your choices every time you take them. Truth is, the very fact that you're choosing at all means you fell for the trap. A harsh lesson in what shaped Geralt into his morality in the first place, masterfully executed by the writers.

Dang this was a good video! I've only played through Witcher 2 once and it was a long time ago. When you lay out everything as you did it makes me appreciate the complexity of the quest interactions so much more. It took me like 15mins into the video before I realised "wait, this man is going through the entire game?" and realized the full length XD I'd love that 90 min explanation of the current political situation lol. If you do the same for Witcher 3 I'd definitely watch it, but maybe break it up into multiple videos eh?

A fan analysing every choice in the game based on his knowledge and understanding of the original books, in copious detail. I'm glad you made this list on the second game; the one I enjoy replaying the least. It would probably differ if they haven't cut out Iorveth entirely from the third game, but I appresciate it

with the announcement of the witcher 1 remake I'm hoping Witcher 2 gets a remaster. I don't think it requires a complete remake but if they decide to go that route I wouldn't mind. Such a good game. I played it only after finishing W3 multiple times and I was super surprised how well it holds up
