one of the scary moment for me was when a hooded woman turned out to be a bruxa, because that moment I realized that the bruxas have been wandering about in the city at day without anyone realizing
That really got me too. I saw the child crying and the hooded woman motioning towards him. Before she turned I put to and to together and was already getting out my sword.
When you discover dead body in the woods and she standing next to it, you know something is definitely wrong. But that's nothing compared to the crazy satanic ritual with summoned noonwraith. And another one where you randomly discover in HotS DLC.
Detlaff was never a villain. Syanna should have known better before meddling with a higher vampire. Everyone in toussaint would understand that. In fact, entire toussaint was angry at syanna. Also dettlaff doesn’t owe humans anything. And Anna shouldn’t let family cloud her judgement risking toussaint like that.
Detlaff is not beyond redemption, if you let him kill Syanna he leaves and doesn't harm anyone again. what is beyond redemption in leaving and not coming back, its cruel to regis to have him kill someone who bled so he may live. Detlaff is never the villain just someone betrayed and misled who has an army to help him. how is that any different to Henrietta using her city to defend her sister
@@jam8539 He still caused a massacre in a city. Even children where brutally murdered. Its true he is a vampire and they have a different perception of right and wrong and mortallity. Still. We are human so we are naturally gonna see it from a humans perspective. While I definetively think Syanna is the bigger villain and the one who truly deserved punishment. One cant deny that what Detlaff choose to do was deplorable and inexcusable.
@@hitrapperandartistdababy every bandit you kill might have a child who starves. by killing the wild hunt you sentence an entire race to the death, basically genocide. Detlaff did what every single kingdom, nation, and the country has done. when you are wronged by a ruler you attack their country. What he did was wrong but he had a just cause, and more wars have been fought over causes less just. His foe was protected by a duchy with an army, he too had an army if Syanna was given to him there would have been no need to use his army, as she was not he acted on the people who opposed him. in world war two the allies bombed countless cities full of innocents was it wrong maybe, was it necessary probably. by consenting to be governed by Henrietta, the people Toussaint agreed with her actions and therefore were the enemies of Detlaff just like the German people consented to being governed by the Nazis and where the enemies of the Allies.
@@jam8539 I mean doesnt really matter if you bring up examples from the real world as they dont really excuse his actions. Neither does anyone else’s. Geralt in the books never kills unless he is forced to. He talks, he allows himself to be humiliated. All it takes not to kill, while he will only do it if he sees no other oppertunity or someone threatens his loved ones The wild hunt didnt actually die. No matter your choices Ciri stops the white frost which leads to it stopping in the Aen Elle world aswell
Not only was Dettlaff an unstable vampire, a mass murderer and completely unreasonable, but bear in mind Regis tells about how he once befriended a young boy just because he offered him an apple and as we learn much later one of the victims he killed stood up for him and became his friend who were only a few. You can't tell me he didn't care or that he could have refused to murder that man, the way he says "Forgive me" speaks volumes about how hurt he feels. In the stories of Witcher the line between monster and man is realistically blurred.
Higher vampires are, much more intelligent than most other creatures in the witcher, much more so than humans, witchers or elves. Its understandable that they are capable of feeling deep emotions
He was unstable in a way that his morals are far more superior to humans. Dettlaff will never understand how humans can lie, deceive, murder for pleasure and be unfaithful to eachother. You might say the slaughter on beauclair was murder for pleasure. Think again. He sets terms in order for syanna to be present at tesham mutna. But Anna locked syanna up despite being aware of the attack. The raze on beauclair to dettlaff is like us taking away our brother’s beyblades if he doesn’t eat his veggies. Taking that away is nothing to us, but means a lot to the little brother. Weird analogy but it describes the situation best. After being forced to kill 4 knights and being betrayed by syanna, the woman he loved so much. You can tell how angry he was when he attacked beauclair. Syanna shouldn’t have played with dettlaff in the first place. But for some weird reason, dettlaff is the monster. And I don’t agree.
@@hodb3906 I was gonna say the that he really does seem to feel like a child would because of how he became friends with a little boy for something trivial but that's how kids bond. He killed for that boy. a life for a life. For Syanna massacred Toussaint because he couldn't 'get over' being lied to, but how could he even if we ignore how he thinks this is a woman he felt for, someone he loved and all the sudden 'someone' kidnaps her, forces him to murder 5 people and one of them becomes a very kind friend to Dettlaff. Imagine finding out it was the woman you loved is the same person who tricked you and forced you to kill a friend. Can you get over that?. When I first played Blood and Wine Dettlaff seemed to me like an intelligent animal trying to be a human. Even if animals could speak in our tongue we would still not understand them.
Funinightmare exactly. If we had dettlaff his power and stood in his shoes, we would perhaps go to the same steps of rage. May or may not attack a city, but rage will definitely come. I would have killed syanna and killed everyone who stood in my way. If dettlaff killed syanna on the spot in dunn tynn, anna would have raged war against dettlaff and casualties would have fallen nonetheless. So either way dettlaff is so understandable. Syanna is not to be excused from what dettlaff did. Very well said from you btw. I have a gf and love her so much. God knows how infuriated i would be if the same happened to me like with dettlaff.
@@johndaltrocanto he could have easily killed the woman without that... slaughter. He is a Higher Vampire. Without Geral around he could have just WALKED past the guards and killed her infront of Henrietta before flying away to mop.
VladTutushkin lol no. Otherwise geralt and regis would be accused of slaughter if dettlaff killed her on the spot. How could you explain it. No witnesses saw dettlaff. It would be the ropes for geralt
I remember the scene where vampires start attacking the entire city. I was honestly scared because we all know how much one vampire can do, so imagine a entire invasion force of them.
ZigZag2000 Lesser vampires or not though, a single one can annihalate an entire brigade alone if they have no silver. An army of them is just terrifying.
My biggest fear were the goddamn Bruxae. In The Witcher 1 they were dangerous but not as bad as in Witcher 3. One of them can and will top you. Especially on Death March.
@@SuperArppis Are you referring to Wojciech Kilar's *"Vampire Hunters"* from the _Bram Stoker's Dracula_ OST? There is definitely some similarity there ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0kQaqchSX8.html
@Z3us not just that everything was under control in the main game, the wild hunt was weak and underwhelming af. Didnt seem like you really were in danger in most parts including them, except the battle of kaer morhen.
@@arshka0009 Yeah he defeated Eskel easily, would've defeated Geralt with ease if he had his staff, bested Ciri, overpowered Yennefer in the battle of kaer morhen and froze them all, froze the entire nilfgardian army, summoned a white frost that nearly killed Geralt and Keira/ maintained them occupied for a long time and saved Eredin and the troops of the wild hunt during Ciri's outburst, being the only one who didn't seem affected
@@uhtredofbebbanburg5493 yep exactly, man was terrifying. He definetly was affected by ciri's outburst but he just has some kind of iron will and dragged eredin out before it was too late.
Same, the feeling of panic and death was so strong. Running through the streets and watching helpless citizens be slaughtered by the vampires, it truly felt like war had come to Touissant
For me this song always perfectly encapsulates the both horror and tragedy of the event unfolding around. Truly emphasising the conflicting emotions playing out.
The Night of Long Fangs was the moment when Detlaff signed his death sentence for me. I liked him, he was a victim in his story, but this was the moment when I looked at him and saw nothing else but monster.. what a game, damn..
i remember when i was in city during attack and two bruxas attacked me i was fight for god know how long and menwhille regis was saing ,,come Geralt we need to go''and i was like i will if you help me
Fun fact: This title of this song is probably a reference to the Night of the Long Knives, where Hitler and the Nazi party carried out a purge/murders of government and military officials that threatened Nazi power.
To be more specific and more in-depth: Many of those who "threatened Nazi power" were themselves members of the NSDAP. However, they were the few 77 people who believed in the socialist promise that had been propagated by the NSDAP for initial popularity. The majority faction within the NSDAP were strongly anti-socialist and anti-Marxist. They blamed the socialists for the Reichstag fires to ban the socialist opposition (The KPD and SPD) and they carried out the "purge" to cleanse their own party of socialist dissenters. One of the most important socialists killed during the purges was Ernst Röhm . You can read about it in the book Stormtroopers: A New History of Hitler's Brownshirts by Daniel Siemens, pages 122-123, 187-188.
@@FlyJonat There are several that bear that name, but it's about as clear as saying "9/11" That too could mean several events in history, but unless you're a bit funny in the head, you know exactly which 9/11 is being referred to.
@@blunderbuss9984 Not quite. There are: The Night of the Long Knives (Arthurian myth, also known as Treachery of the Long Knives) Night of the Long Knives (1934) Germany. Night of the Long Knives (1962) United Kingdom. Night of the Long Knives (1982) Canada. Night of the Long Knives (1992) Northern Ireland. So there are indeed a lot of "Nights of the Long knives" But whenever you hear that name, you should be defaulting to 1934 in Germany
This song suits when the whole city is in chaos in TW3 DLC just like when Shepard and team is sent on suicide mission to save galaxy & crew in ME2 (with all musics in fighting Reapers).
Anyone else just wander around the city, cutting down any Vampire that gets in your way and take in the brutal atmosphere of a city under siege by monsters?
True, that Detlaff can be killed by only a Higher Vampire, but they still can be hurt by human beings. As Regis said, it took him a long time to recover from "death". If you want to get rid of Detlaff for a century, just ask Geralt to cut him into a bloody pulp... repeat the process whenever he's about to get his strength back... Lesser Vampires are vulnerable, they won't be back once you slew them.
The start of this one sounds almost exactly like an action version of the Ladies of the Woods one, or whatever it's called. I haven't played the dlc, so I don't know if there's a connection though..
When I saw all the Vampires circling over head for the first time, I honestly thought somewhere I had messed up real bad, and all of Toussaint was doomed
A lot of people say he overreacted, but laying siege to Beauclair was not out of malice. It was a matter of practicality. He wants answers, and Syanna is in ducal custody. He has no idea what or where the playroom is. How else is he supposed to get those answers? With a siege. You want the siege to end, give him Syanna. Simple.
I keep having an issue with this mission where I can't get past a load screen, it just keeps loading I've turned the game on and off, nothing it just goes to load the cut scene and it never loads.
