This is fucking awful that they make us choose between both. Children are innocent, killing them makes no logical sense, but it seems like letting them die by killing the tree is the “lesser evil” because less sacrifices. Not to mention they already were being eaten.
Second option is to free them. I heard even they get dropped an orphanage but don’t remember Geralt. Which is strange. Then some awful activities happen, Baron suicide, Anna being a monster, village dying, etc.
I heard there’s a third option, but other google results say that’s not actually implant in the game, just a glitch and the children still get eaten? Or have they changed it now so it is a real third option that saves both?
I’m guessing killing the tree is the lesser evil? Less deaths? No ancient evil spirit to wreck havoc?
For some reason after the ealdorman >!gives me his ear!<, my game immediately crashes. I looked up ways to fix this and have tried several things such turning off/on V-sync, changing framerate, lowering settings, changing the screen mode. I even went a far as using ddu cuz I thought it was a driver issue. But the problem persist and its driving me nuts cuz its the only game I wanna play rn. Any clue on how to fix this?
Ok I remember very vague details about this book but it was definitely a children’s book. The main character is a young boy, a small creature appears at the end of his bed (it is called a hummock or something similar) and takes him to a strange land that he reaches by crawling under his duvet. There were some very odd characters, one was a very tall lady who loved rhubarb.
If anyone knows what I’m talking about please help me out! Thanks!
You think I’d remember as this is my fifth time playing the game, but I don’t remember the werewolf.. I’m only level 6. Igni does almost no damage. Moondust bombs aren’t working? And I can’t buy the cursed oil formula from Tomira cus I didn’t help her with Lena. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you!
Now when I come back, his status is just “away” instead of hanging himself on that tree. Its kinda better anyway.
So I've started another playthough of the Witcher after not playing it for a bit and I totally forgot how brutal the choices were. And I agonized over what to do with the Hillock and the orphans etc etc.
But hopefully I came away with some new ideas, namely that I feel confident I can say the spirit is definitively evil, or at least not an ambivalent nature spirit as some suggest, and that killing the spirit is the lesser of two evils and the choice that Geralt would most likely make.
The idea that the spirit is mother nature comes from the book "She Knows" and the fact that she kills people is written off because nature doesn't judge it only defends itself. The problem with that idea is that one of the first things the spirit does is destroy Downwarren by causing the people to go insane, smash their babies, and kill one other. That does not sound like a case of self defense to me. You could argue that it was because the villagers were trying to cut down the Hillock, but surely the babies and children and the elderly had no intention of chopping the tree down. Instead it seems to me that the spirit destroyed the village as an attack against the crones. Well that's a good thing right? Except people whose only goal was to survive in a treacherous area ruled over by dark spirits who demanded they cut their friggin ears off. So the spirit killing Downwarren, and in brutal fashion, just seems like politics between entities (the spirit and the crones) who consider themselves above humans.
I also think that it is the lesser of two evils despite the fact that the children die. The children are often thought of as the only innocents out of those whose lives are at stake. But again, I have to remind you that the spirit had the mothers of Downwarren smash their babies. But then again maybe the babies wanted to cut down a tree, those bastards. So you have to weigh the lives of the 5-6 children vs the wife beating barron , the cuckolding Anna, and the entire village of Downwarren and all their progeny, as well as any other peasants the spirit may see as supporting the Crones, despite them probably doing so just so the don't suffer as much as they already do. When you weigh it out like that it almost seems like theirs a potential for like 50+ lives to be lost to save the children. And some of those lives are even other children. Doesn't seem to be quite right.
Theres also the idea that Anna dies in her right mind and gets to say goodbye, but being mutated a
I found the Whispering Hillock and killed it before ever finding the Crones of Crookback. Is this going to mess up the story line?
Whispering Hillock current effect is to summon Viy summon any card with a Deathwish effect. However, it used to be:
Destroy an allied unit, then [Spawn] and play a base copy of it.
And it was great! It lost that effect when the devs gave a nerfed version of it to Deathshadow. Giving it back it’s old effect would greatly help the crones and the MO faction as a whole. It would also nerf Viy.
It’s honestly driving me nuts. I’ve tried restarting the console to no avail.
