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.

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 👍

​@@InjusticeJosh Les so than in withcer 1 where you could literaly not jump down from a small terace the height of like 2 stair steps. But the feeling of the forests was gorgeus, and well witcher 3 made forests more realistic in a few ways. But honestly all 3 witcher games was goregus in the nature aspect for the time they were made at. Witcher 1 has super realistic east european fields and swamps look great too, but witcher 3 has great nature.

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!!

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.

Well you got your wish

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.

@potje8002

You forget that Geralt is almost too well-defined thanks to both the games and the books. But in the book Geralt also makes a lot of decisions that he (and we) later regrets. So making a stupid choice once in a while is actually being thorough in "What would Geralt do?".

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.

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

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.

In fairness to Witcher 3, I felt it was fitting that he and his companions deserved a (mostly) happy ending after everything they've been through. I get why you liked Witcher 2 for its empty feeling but I'm glad that the third game ended the way it did. Just my two-cent opinion

I´m so happy for you Neon. Finally the video is out there for everyone to see and enjoy! I watched it again. Beginning to end. Well spend 1h13min of my life! Highly entertaining as always. Thank you so much for your effort and love for the Witcher games and books. I gonna say something to the Stennis situation as well. I agree Geralt would never let someone die or even push into a lynch mob. He himself ran into a mob to safe dwarfs and elves and took a pitchfork for it and died. He clearly despise mobs their dynamic and all they stand for with every fibre of his beeing.

Thank you for doing a Witcher 2 video. My favourite game in the franchise tbh, I like it more than Witcher 3, and that says a lot. And yes, I agree, Flotsam is absolurley my favourite location in any of the Witcher games, it's so atmospheric and the quests are so good.

I’m certain a lot of people have said it, but absolutely want to see more of these style of videos. For Witcher 3 and for anything else that may strike your fancy. Very well made.

Just wanted to comment on how nicely put together and well made this video is, really great content, cheers!

You definitely gotta make a Witcher 3 version. This was such an entertaining and interesting video and I'd love to see another like it. Great work!!!

well I guess you've just decided what I'll spend my evening on.)) it's a great video so I can't see why not rewatch it.

I thought it was great to see you analyze the games from Geralt's perspective. I would love to see you do TW3 so I can do another playthough "as Geralt" after the next gen version drops

Would definitely love to see you tackle Witcher 1 and Witcher 3: Complete Game of the Year Edition Featuring Geralt from the Netflix Show: The Witcher and Knuckles with a lore accurate Geralt Mindset.

Well crafted analysis and very well presented as well...would appreciate similar content in the future...cheers !!!

Sometimes it's a headache 'what would Geralt do' apart from helping widows and orphans. I always end up doing what he wants lol Great job...very thorough.

I cannot wait for your What Would Geralt Do Witcher 3 video!

"I have personally never tried to patch things up with a woman after being responsible for the death of her son." Kratos "grunts"

Such a great video, hands down one of the best Witcher videos out there.. Thank you so much for making this and can't wait for more

Great video, and some food for thought on some of these decisions. I do think you've overlooked a *very* big factor in the "give Iorveth his sword back" decision, though. Iorveth is in on the conspiracy to kill Foltest. He doesn't even deny this. Geralt is trying to prove his innocence, among other things. He has ZERO reason to give Iorveth his sword back when turning him over to Roche may be a big part of clearing his name. By the same token, traveling with Roche gives him a degree of protection that he normally would not have, as Roche can (and does) repeatedly vouch for his character, meaning Geralt can move relatively unhindered, something he would not be able to do following an infamous Scoia'tael commando around. Finally, Letho has *teleported* away. There is no longer any *rush* to get to Triss because Triss is gone and you only have a vague idea where. Spending a few hours sorting out Loredo isn't going to make a lick of difference. Either Triss is safe in Letho's hands, in which case, no need to rush, or she's not, in which case its already too late.

Please do this for The Witcher 3, this video is very good and makes me want to play The Witcher 2 again.

Very precise video!! Love how everything is in depth, no possibility left hanging. Really enjoyed the Little Sisters part. I'd love to see a video for the Witcher 1, this game is just amazing, and even if most choices have an expected outcome, the morality behind them is something I never seen matched.

100% agree with every explanation you've given! You've ran through all the different options with a very nice pace and depth, this is a great video well done. I've subscribed.

This video is some of the best analysis on Witcher 2 in video form. Thanks for bringing it to life once again.

Having never played W2 I didn't know the background between Geralt and Letho. In my first or second play of W3 I chose to import my W2 choices, so when Voorhis was interrogating me I just made shit up as questions came. No clue, just utter bs, not knowing I would wind up meeting Letho in W3. Now, I do not face the Wild Hunt without him. I love his character and W3 quest. He's a prickly pragmatic ox, but he's a bro. I appreciate the absolute lore and detail you brought to this video. It's like having a history lesson from a really engaging teacher on a topic you are already nuts about. It's honestly too bad Lauren Hissrich didn't get this history lesson...imagine the show we could have had! Thanks, Neon!

It’s back. I wanted to watch it when it first came out but I didn’t have the time and by the time I had the time it was gone. Gonna enjoy this

Absolutely fantastic video! I would definitely like something like this done for the Witcher 3! As a person who just loves long form content that someone can just listen to this was perfect!

Congratulations on getting this video back, glad I was able to watch it the first time round.

Brilliant video. Was really fun to listen and watch. As I've finished the game 3 times over the years and have watched so many videos since I can tell how many hours and work you've put into making this video. Great job. I would love to see this made for The Witcher 3, since the new next gen version just dropped. Great time to replay that masterpiece again (for the 4th time).

Already watched it before it was removed but i leave a comment to help this video get the views it deserves :)

IT'S BACK!

I am very grateful for all the time you spent on this video, sticking around until the end of it was the least I could do. It most certainly is not an "unwatchable mess".

your content is witcher heaven. never shy from long uploads, i love this so much!

This was so damn fun. You did an excellent job of explaining your points.

My friend, this is the type of video that appreciates with time. Its a fine, red wine that you've poured your heart into. Such a beverage isn't something that'll give you instant gradification. Instead, it'll bloom over the years and then one day, when you least expect it, it'll be at the top-most viewed, with tens of miliions of watches and a comment section so long, it'll rival the books of the series you're covering. I write this 7 months after you posted and, as you can see, the Algorythm can be a fickle god. But you're making something special. Continue bottling your passion and allowing it to age. Soon everyone will be stopping by to have a drink.

Definitely interested in watching more of this :) Watched the whole thing!

Damnnn, you have such a cool content for us witchers fans, and I can tell you love the saga. Hope you keep on going with the upcoming next gen update and future games!! Love from Spain

yes i would absolutely love to see this format implemented on the witcher 3 because in my recent playthrough i decided to not skip all the side content and realized how tricky it sometimes can be to get a good or slightly less bad ending. For example in the quest in brookback bog where you can either free or kill the spirit under the tree this was a hard choice because i wanted the children to survive the spirit to be freed because the crones didnt want that and i didnt really care about the villagers that the spirit kills i think in the end i came really close but the dialouge didnt make it that clear if the children survived but if they didnt the cope was that they belonged to the corrupt villagers but i think they survived because it wasnt mentioned that the crones ate them they just didnt mention that the spirit saved them so yeah absolutely you should make a video about geralts choices in the witcher 3

As awfully tempted to watch this video as I am, I have yet to play the witcher 2, so i'm going to refrain to avoid being vastly spoiled. i will watch it as soon as I'm finished with the witcher 2. Having played the witcher 3 throroughly though, I'd be super excited if you made a video on it with the same concept. And also on the DLCs maybe.

Never got to play the Witcher 1 and 2 but i defenitly will now. And surely i'd love to have a vid in the same way about the witcher 3. Great peace of work, thx for that.
