Witcher 3 🌟 BLOOD AND WINE ► No Ribbon Ending - Dettlaff Lives, Regis Stays, Yennefer Romance 

I always felt like this was the true "good" ending. Especially since Regis is immortal, him being a fugitive to his clan (if not all of vampire-kind) is a fate worse than death.

@@99cents49 And that also means he will probably never see his homeland again. It's unlikely the conjuction of sphere's will ever see a "Counter-Event" But we all know the cave of the unseen elder. That has heavy impact on our world inside the cave itself. Maybe the portal opens again sometime eventually.

@@K1NG_of_ReVeNGe1 Good point there.

Feels to me like any other way just takes Regis for granted. I couldn't doom him to eternity as a pariah.

my thoughts exactly

if ciri didnt use her power probably they all dead,

just use console commands.

@@brandonstromtrooper7385 Let's call it a spontaneous oopsie. :P :D

Regis was still regenerating and would have died easily

My thoughts exactly!

More like dandelion for saving him from prison

But dont deserves.

That's why Id rather have Syanna get what she deserves than have Regis kill Dettlaff

@intempify It's your actions that determine if Syanna lives or not - not even discussing the rights and wrongs of what she did herself. In another ending Regis kills Detlaff - literally his own blood and spirit - to save humans, and as he ultimately promised Geralt.

Hail, legate.

"Annarietta" could very well be my least favourite character in the expansion

Nothing new to Geralt.

@@Akashi-js6rx my most hated one such a bitch

Honestly, he was hired to kill the vampire so he should've just do just that. Then of course that would be a terrible plot for a game so of course there's a drama involve.

Lah Boh if I remember correctly, the contract actually doesn’t stipulate that Geralt should kill Dettlaff; only that he “free” Beauclair from the Beast. I know that’s very Gaunter O’Dimm-esque and underhanded, but that’s just me. I do welcome arguments against letting Syanna die and Dettlaff go, as I am still somewhat wrestling with my decision of letting Syanna die and sparing Dettlaff

You win the comment section.

same! Even though i would fight him anyway, just for the pleasure of been know to kill a fucking higher vampire.

Whenever a quest ends and Geralt gets paid the true reward comes when the quest giver asks if he has time for a round of gwent

I do it all the time. I've never been a fan of card games

what's your favorite deck ? mine isnilfgaardian.

Agreed. She justifies her mass murder and attempted coup d'etat by saying she was kicked out and left in the woods. Bad things happened to her sure, but not enough to even close to justify what she was doing. Dettlaf was her weapon

Lol on the contrary I felt somewhat of a sympathy for detlaff

@@bradhuygens the disproportion between what actually happened to her and her revenge appeared more clearly in the dialogue in the tower after Geralt was investigating. Crespi - beat her unconscious. Yeah too bad, I admit. But he was then found on his knees, his sword hanging from his neck. De la Croix mocked her and insulted her - quartered. Cool. Anna Henrietta forgot her - Dettlaf was supposed to break her neck and rip her heart out of her chest. Hmmm. Now I think its fairly clear who actually was the real beast of Beauclair. I must admit though - a final boss fight with Syanna wouldn't be much epic lol.

@@liduna2000 Hahah, yeah that'd be a pretty easy fight. You're exactly right. her reaction is totally disproportionate. And she's the monster

@@liduna2000 And thanks to her deception, Detlaff predictably flips his shit and massacres a ton of innocent people with a vampire army. Her anger at a handful of people got hundreds, maybe thousands of people killed and feasted on.

real easy. I desperately wanted her to die.

That true XD When i see gwent i play gwent 😂😂😂

@Alin Serban Iuliu It's the best.Cos Annarietta deserves to suffer

They know we can't refuse a round of gwent. So, obviously they just want us to kill Dettlaff

LMAO THAT GWENT GAME WAS THE SECOND GAME IVE EVER HAD THROUGHOUT THE PLAYTHROUGH, Guess what, the first one's the tutorial eyy lmao

There is no good ending. There are endings of different circumstances. The one will you prefer will be your happy ending. This is my happy ending which I never do on replays because that boss fight is amazing.

@@mohammadqasimawais9155 my happy one is when they all die

@@noahhawkins1534 Fair enough. You get to fight an amazing boss fight, see a queen who's been an ass to you die and bang her sister before having her die. Then get a happy epilogue at Corvo Bianco. Perfect ending

Mohammad Qasim Awais sounds dope.

@@Puppy_Puppington It is if you feel that way. Or you could think that queen was doing her duty, that vampire was lovestruck and her sister was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't see it that way so it's my favourite ending.

Arthad With the amount of different endings and options to choose from in this game, there has to be some things that aren’t able to happen

Who even lets olgierd die ?

@@Nokronz Me, he was a piece of shit.

@@Nokronz me, in exchange for ciri's live.

@@adenica999 no!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the curse !!! Once the curse is lifted you'll see the real sweet guy who loved his wife 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think he really didnt believe until the last second that Dettlaff would actually kill her

That's what i thought, this whole freeing syanna thing is his idea, he only convinced geralt after he vowed that not even a single (syanna) hair would come to any harm. Was regis's plan actually to inderectly kill syanna?

@@rakaabinaya1635 I imagine if she had 'tragically' died that may have been enough of an excuse for Detlaff to be done with his shit and for both him and Regis to be able to leave Toussant for a long ass time. Though, that being said, its hard to know whether Regis would have intentionally fucked over Geralt like that, especially after he made a promise to help.

@@rakaabinaya1635 hmmm, dark Regis. Interesting ;) but, i dont know. I dont think it is in the line with Regis's character cause, apart from being complicit in the murder, he would need to be a liar too (it would be some nice acting , this "it happens so fast", plus, when geralt and Regis talked afterwards, Regis told Geralt that he really regretted to not being able to safe Syanna. So I think this is not a case. Regis was honest, "epitome of humanity" as Geralt said, and he really valued every human life (he was even a medic - a surgeon, I think?). So - I assume he really just didnt expect this to happen, at all.

Regis: ah shit, mate, what a shame, nothing I could have done, anyway have fun getting tortured in prison *turns to mist and disappears* Geralt: … hang on.

you couldn't* care less. Otherwise you're saying the opposite of what you want to say.

@@92brunod my bad 😂

I don’t get it how is Regis a traitor. Doesn’t the elder vampire in one ending order deltaf go be killed?

@@FM-kl1wv He ordered to summon him, nothing more. But he mentioned that Regis will be anathema if he kills Dettlaff. This fact is only mentioned if you visit the elder before meeting Dettlaff. Or after killing Dettlaff when the bruxae attacked Regis and called him a traitor. He mentioned to Geralt, that he now must hide from all the vampires, higher and lesser. And you know how hard it is to hide identify higher vampires. I guess the answer to Geralt "If I stay out of them, I'll be fine." is a lie to Geralt to ease his mind. It would be just so Regis like. But I have no proof of it. Sure is, that if you choose to let Dettlaff kill it would be likely that Geralt never sees Regis again, because it destroyed their friendship. But this is speculation as well.

Barbora Holubcová Someone who sucks at Gwent maybe!

Mason Pickering me?😒

In my opinion that's exactly why "saving private Dettlaff" is a fool's errand. Geralt is like "dude I have NOTHING to do with this, how the hell was I supposed to know what the ribbon does? I brought the girl to you, which was a lot of work actually." and Dettlaff is like "I WANT KILL GIRL, NOW I MAD NOW I KILL YOU, later on maybe I kill the rest of Beauclair and some puppies because I give zero fucks about any of you". I hope the Dettlaff fanclub also refrained from killing ANY griffin, wyvern, slyzard, wolf or other beast. They are all "good", they all just do their thing and sometimes they grab something to eat and sometimes that happens to be a human. Then a witcher comes and owns them for doing that. Dettlaff is exactly the same, he is chill but if his tamper flares he kills half of Beauclair. If you let him live, perhaps he kills half of Novigrad because his article wasn't published in the local newspaper or a succubus cheated on him and hid in the city. You know, "good guy" stuff.

Barbora Holubcová i actually thought about that on my first playtrough that‘s why i refused it

@@EnCey2 Detlaff was kind of claimed rightful to judge and punish Syanna, Touissant hid her, so He had all the rights to declare war. Its as If one country enslaved an other country's prince, so ofc the kind with his country will declare war to save the prince. The same happened here, expect instead of a prince, a criminal who deserved to be punished was hid and saved. Detlaff emotional or not, was resonable and had all the rights to declare war. For Anna was a bitch who felt guilty for not helping Syanna in their childhood, was blinded, because of this and even gets killed by Syanna in one of the endings. The innocents's blood who died by Detlaff's vampire army are actually drying on Anna's hands. Touissant was Annas responsibility and She didnt let a clear criminal punished and all those people that died were, because of her stupid choices.

Check Alucard from Hellsing ultimate.

Late on the replies, but I watched Ultimate back when it came out, and the entire Castlevania Netflix Series is just gold!

@@Lily-xd1tg You forgot about legacy of kain vampires. They're just as badass as witcher/castlevania ones.

The best ending for Regis is the best ending for me

@@gamingsolvesmyissues8192 Regis is a little sissy. He could've stopped the Night of Long Fangs by himself, ripping apart the lesser vampires with ease. Instead, he hides like a coward. I think at one point he says, "I can't let them see me" or some nonsense. A joke. Geralt also did all the heavy lifting in the Dettlaff fight.

Can you find regis after end game if you get this ending?

Rodafowa, he says “I can’t let them see me.” while fighting the fleder that’s attacking Damien, if he was seen by Damien while fighting a fleder it would expose him.

@@kailashs4521 Sorry for the mistake : )

@UCvHJL5OcYKCw2BiR5J7GEmA well both of them are stupid bitches either way so in my opinion you should let detlaff go and not make regis a traitor

well the main game had the middle ending with Ciri turning you down and getting forced to be empress. I kinda loved that you had to take a trip through lands....even worlds, slaughter armies and suffer through battles, but it all just comes down to your choices as a father, as she either decides to abandon you or spend her life together with you. :) btw in case you didn't know: if you play HoS before the main game and sacrifice olgierd, you can not only choose between items and gold, but also for a tip to find ciri, then O'Dim tells you a few riddles to get the key decisions right to lead you to the good ending!

metalhood Ya I know that O'Dimm riddles thing but I got the best ending w/o any help before starting HoS which I am proud of:) The main game was a great experience.

The difference between the best and the worst ending in B&W can come down to just one wrong dialogue option. It's not good design by any means. www.vg247.com/2016/06/02/the-witcher-3-blood-and-wine-endings-how-to-get-the-best/ I didn't encourage her to forgive her sister and went straight from the best to the worst ending. I still liked it, though. Maybe even prefer it.

***** I am saying this expansion doesn't clearly have a best or worst ending it depends on the player to decide. For eg. someone would say Syanna didn't deserve to die because it was Detlaff who killed the kights and he should be killed but others would say Detlaff was innocent because he tried to save her lover and it was Syanna who deserved to die. I didn't want to kill Detlaff but I didn't have any choice because I got the ribbon and he got pissed off. I saved Syanna and Anna and was satisfied with the ending. Overall I had the best ending in main game where Ciri became a Witcher and I killed O'Dimm in HoS.

Arguably the ending with all of them dying fits with the overall Witcher universe to begin with anyway - not everything ends like in a fairy tail. I personally like that ending the most, as I think it's the only one one (besides the one with Detlaff killing Syanna) where Syanna actually gets punished. Nonetheless B&W endings were great, because none of them can neccessarily be considered bad endings, each ending can be good depending on who the player sides with.

Ivin3690 really? I prefer the ending with the ribbon.

Jelmer Van Den Berg I couldn't stand letting that evil bitch live after what she did

Ivin3690 I understand but I just don't like the ending in which geralt goes to jail he just doesn't deserve that at least my geralt doesn't

Jelmer Van Den Berg yeah but it's really short term, i'd say that's standard treatment for a vigilante-mercenary monster slayer. The gray area of morality Geralt regularly dabbles in is not for the comprehension of plebs like henrietta and her ilk.

I would either kill them both or kill none of them.(talking about Anna and Syanna)

Well i "killed him" so i don't think that would make sense.

Shes not that bad she was made this way because of her family lol she was practically raised by bandits detlaff is just gullible

Wrong.

syanna isnt that bad. she wanted to kill only those who have wronged her. she certainly didnt want toussaint to be raided by vampires. when she heard about it, she even wanted to give herself to detlaff when she could have stayed in LoTF. it was detlaff that took things too far.

I thought of Ciri. And was immensely disappointed.

How's this the best ending?

Syanna is the real Beast of Beauclair.

Wild Animal Dettlaf doesn't understand human emotions. Syanna knew this and chose to use him for her benefit. I blame Syanna and Anna for the destruction of the city

@@sage4670 syanna had become evil . bit that doesnt mean you should let detlaff walk away . no matter his reasons , he is a murder , quick to emotional bursts . he is just like almost every monster you fight : not evil , but a danger to mankind .

No boss fight on death march? fucking causal player.

Hm, could be that he may have thought they don't exactly deserve death for what they've done, one of them was even his friend

​@@xLetalispeut-être mais un des chevalier l'as quand même abusé

Syanna said that she never loved Dettlaff. She thought Dettlaff would never understand what break up is so she run away. She knows Dettlaff is so powerful so she used him

i dont agree. i was all for forgiving him until he launched that attack on the city. the dead children, the dead innocences that didnt do anything to him but exist. he pushed the bounds if he can do it once. he can and probably will do it again. Regis even agrees it has to be done i hate what happens to him having to leave like that. but honestly dettlaff is an unpredictable wild card that at any moment could mutilate hundreds. it isnt worth it and regis knowing geralt even stood and fought with him when he could of stayed neutral.

What a load. I was willing to totally let the murders go because Dettlaff was just being used as a tool, however once he finds that out HE SENT HOARDS OF VAMPIRES TO MURDER THE INNOCENT POPULATION OF BUECLAIR. He's not reasonable, he's not a force for good, hes absolutely a monster and deserved to die.

Okay one, Bullshit. She did use him, She deceived him by making him think the only person he had ever held so dear, was in fatal danger(Which is even more screwed up when it's her, herself), and then Forces him to kill people she wants dead. Yeah, No, She deserved that stab through the chest. We can't think like humans do when it comes to Detlaff, he's a vampire, Not human. And Regis is an exception among them. He gave the Duchy time, He gave them three days(And if I remember, gave them a week overall) to give him the bitch. The Duchess refused because apparently the psycho sister who wants to murder her is more important than her people. Wars have been waged for far less. And that's what it ended up being in the end.

Detlaff was forced to it because of bad writing, why the flying fuck didn't he just look for Syanna himself? Surely, a higher vampire with that level of infiltration skills could have done so. That scene where he confronted Syanna made no sense, he could have just asked her to explain it herself right there instead of demanding the 3 days shit, and if he went to collect his thoughts why the fuck did he went and raze the city anyways? Why didn't he just look for her immediately? If what he had wanted was her going there on her own will, why the fuck did he threaten her? Why wasn't there three days as he had promised? If fury has truly consumed him, he should just look for her himself to kill her, the very reason he was angry because he made a human friend he was forced to kill, so why would he kill more humans because of this one bitch? In fact, the biggest plot hole, is why an all-powerful higher vampire capable of going invisible not look for her himself, or better, send the vampires to look for her instead of waiting patiently while they razed the city.

Catonzo why

Those kids were not real, they were merely projections/constructs. Anyone who argues that she is some flat bitch that deserves to die clearly lacks the understanding of how The Witcher universe works; most everyone involved in this storyline barring Regis and Geralt deserve some form of punishment.

Those kids may not have been real, but the young noble man who killed his brother because of her twisted prank, certainly was.Furthermore, her actions in the present are "real" as well. Having played all 3 Witcher games and having also read some-not all- of the Witcher books I think I have a basic understanding of how morally ambiguous everyone- including Geralt- is.And I still stand by what I said-that some characters just deserve to die. Like Syanna for example.

+eleni fokea You clearly haven't read all of the books then. Otherwise, you would know that while Syanna isn't justified in what she does, stating that she deserves to die is arguably a bit much, with that logic, Anna Henrietta deserves to die as well. You would also know that the point of the Witcher series is that to some degree most everyone deserves some form of retribution, even the characters you root for.

+eleni fokea Calling Syanna evil as compared to Leo Bonhart or King Radovid or Emhyr is ludicrous. I'm not saying she doesn't deserve some form of punishment. But keep in mind that even in the happiest ending, she is punished.

You should read my comment again. I acknowledge and love the moral ambiguity of all the characters in the Witcher universe. To be frank this is what primarily makes this universe so compelling. Sure many more people deserve to get punished/killed but this video is about Syanna's fate not Bonhart's.

Yeah Syanna was evil, she deserved that

Dude, of course they should be

Nothing is more powerful than the drunken fist fighting master in Toussaint.

That was basically my main complaint about the game story wise (there are also some glaring gameplay issues but Witcher is clearly focussed on a great story and beautiful atmosphere). The Wild Hunt was hyped up to be one of the biggest threats in existance and then they did this whole introduction of their homeworld and their background and it was like mediclorians in Star Wars. And then it came down to just a sword fight with a bit of teleportation. Nevertheless, I think that there's nothing wrong with introducing more powerful entities in the expansions. Both of them were masterpieces. It's a 95% perfect game.

@@B20C0 do u mean the kaminoins from star wars? lmao

@@B20C0 Gaunter and Regis are clearly overpowered against the wild hunt, but Regis at the time was still recovering and Gaunter, whatever entity he is, probably wouldn't meddle in these conflicts. If you play Hearts of Stone before the main quest, though, he tells you how to support Ciri so she can defeat the white frost.

Ah yes just ignore the hundreds or thousands of innocents Detlaff murdered cuz boo boo broken heart

@@Thaumtron yeah, but why is it always one or the other with you people? They all deserved to die.

@thaumablazer its anna and syanna that kill them. If they just having common sense and go to deatlaff before 3 days, that would never happen. But no, anna protecting that piece of shit, because boo hooo mah sister did nothing wrong by using a higher vampire to get revenge. Syanna need to be punished, and detlaff did nothing wrong, not one bit blood in his hand, it all on syanna and anna.

@@miloradowicz or they all deserved to live

@@Thaumtron dude she’s a bitch .. she even will cheat on detlaff with you( Witcher).. that is more important than random peasants life .

I consider this the best ending!

Same. Regis should not be put through so much pain. He's far too good.

Indeed.

Wait how do you save him?

Oh you just mean this ending by letting him go lmao I thought to make it up and everything

Ydo Bergstra yea like just not have to kill him lol

Yeah, it's little fucked up

Which "bro" are you talking about favouring over the hoes? Detlaff? Sure, he's not treacherous or nepotistic like Syanna or Annrietta, respectively, but in terms of murderousness, there's no comparison. Syanna planned on five people being killed for revenge, but Detlaff killed hundreds, if not thousands of innocents as no more than an ultimatum. Besides, if a woman he loved betraying him like this is enough to send him into such a murderous fit, then I'd say it was only a matter of time before he did something equally horrific, as the world of the Witcher loves to point out: life will not treat you fairly. Out of all the outcomes, I say Detlaff dying with Annrietta living even if Syanna has to live as well is the safest, most practical, and most "least of several evils" ending.

The "bro" in question is Regis, not Dettlaff. I'm not having him be hunted by his own kind for all eternity. Not over that... that... I don't even know what to call Syanna. She is simply below contempt. Yes, in an ideal scenario, she would get a chance at atonement, but when I have to chose between her and Regis... well, sucks to be her. The fact that Annarietta has a blindspot for her sister is unfortunate, but there's no way I'd put Regis in harm's way, just to accomodate either of the two. Dettlaff is a twat, yes, and he deserves to be put down, but not for the price of endangering a loyal friend.

So the right thing to do is to force Regis to make the choice between saving Geralt and saving himself? Yeah, Regis does pull through if you force the issue by fighting Dettlaff, but I wouldn't call forcing that choice upon him "the right thing to do". If Anna wants to avenge her city, it's her own damned choice. She has a standing army at her beck and call, after all. Geralt's mission was to stop Dettlaff - which he accomplished regardless of whether the later was killed or not. Syanna is a serial killer that happens to be the local ruler's sibling. If there was less pomp and circumstance, or let's face it, if she didn't have a pretty face, the choice of sacrificing the manipulative murderer to stop the slaughter of innocents would be clear as day. And another thing - how about everyone who spared Syanna and killed Dettlaff in order to get the cheerful ending - is that not selfish? Syanna is arguably one of the most evil characters in the universe - she doesn't have to kill - she isn't escaping a world wide ice age like the Wild Hunt, she isn't hounded by nobles to expand and give out land as payment for supporting the throne and preventing a revolution like Emhyr - she could go anywhere, do anything, but she chose to murder people because they were mean to her. But yeah, she's preety and the ruler likes her, so ending it with hugs and titles must be the "right thing to do". Fuck Syanna and fuck Annarietta with her stupid gaudy vinyard.

You couldn't have expressed my thoughts better, I disliked both of those sisters so screw em' Especially Anna and her naivety and bias towards Syanna annoys me too much for me to even care during the other endings.

Snappy Zura I know right. The shiny facade of Tussaint works like a propaganda machine, steering the player into siding with whomever rules it. Going against that - seeing through the pretty smiles and praises, and seeing that the challenge wasn't in defeating Dettlaff, but instead in discovering and overcoming the self deception we were first inclined towards - that was the real challenge which both Geralt and the player faced.

RandomAsshole my thoughts exactly. Got the supposedly "happy ending" first, but went back to get this ending. When the duchess was scream at me, the whole time I was thinking "you wanted me to kill the beast, and the beast is dead" :)

Wild Animal YOU think before writing something stupid. Syanna was a veiwed as an evil child who was both cursed and set to be in charge of the duchy. Of course she should've been casted off

@Zoey One declared war, the other one practiced crimes. In war, your number of kills dont rly matter. Its not the same as murdering people in peace time. Syanna was rescued and hid by Touissant, while She cleary deserved punishment and Detlaff was rightful to be the one to punish her. This means that Its like, If Canada would purposefully hid a mass murder from USA and Canada wouldnt give him out. Thats a casus belli there, USA is rightful to declare war to take back the prisoner for punishment. Detlaff was resonable. The innocent who died, died, because of Anna, Anna is responsible for Touissant and her choices lead to a war breaking out with the vampires. Also Detlaff's mass murder wasnt, because His intentions were evil and He just wanted to kill people, on the other hand Syanna's intentions were evil and She was happyly murdering people without remorse. While actions do matter, so do intentions, one who is evil by standard and has evil intentions will be more incined towards future evil acts.

@Zoey And Syanna is responsible for this, too. Detlaff wouldn't do that if Syanna didn't trick him.

@Orsi oh, you are so right and smart, dettlaff kill hundreds because he demand the murderer in 3 days which is not done, he warn them, no one listened, meanwhile our lovely syanna is the reason why he did this, she used him, abuse his trust, on the small scale, she used a man trust to KILL, then put the responsible on the people of the city which lead to dettlaff killing them, on the large scale, she broke the very rare connection between two spices, and her sister, who willingly give up her people lives in exchange for a murderer is somehow better than dettlaff. Oh im sure you have thought this throught very careful with your incredible smart, rightful mind, those people who defend dettlaff must be braindead, unlike you all mighty judge.

Same.

Also you don't know for sure if Syana will not try to kill Anna Henrietta again

wouldn't call detlaff "good" in any case but I'm definitely not choosing Syanna's life over Detlaff. She was a monster who manipulated and killed innocent people. not all people she killed had anything to do with her not so tragic backstory

beautiful indeed ;]

Yeah but is painfull to see gerald suffer

Letting a murderous monster walk is not the way of the Witcher or something Geralt would do after seeing hundreds of people killed

Wrong. Geralt doesn’t kill sentient monsters unless given reason to. Detlaff was blackmailed into killing those men, he didn’t do it because he is a mindless monster. As for the other murders? I solely put that on Anna. If she had only given her sister over to Detlaff as the citizens so overly pushed for, all of this could have been avoided. But nope, all because she valued the life of her murderous sister over the life of thousands of her loyal subjects. This ending just feels right.

@@xlyrium7896 he would still kill detlaff because of the choice detlaff made to kill innocents. He already went throught this with renfri

I agree. But still I think this is the most altruistic ending regarding Regis and the far more just then killing Dettlaff and letting Syanna live ... And perhaps Dettlaff would learn to stay away from humans since he cant cope with assholes.

I thought the same thing, however, the more I compare Dettlaff with Syanna, the more he comes out as the asshole here. Both of them did horrible things, but Syanna has better reasons, and ultimately, she listened and changed. Dettlaff on the other hand has nothing to lose as a higher vampire; he did go through some shock/trauma but it is nothing compared to being prosecuted and disowned when you are a 12 year old royalty. She wanted the throne back and revenge; Dettlaff turned into a hormonal teenager just because Syanna left him and later on used him (he refused to listen to Geralt and Regis too; the guy is unstable). Furthermore, Dettlaff's reaction sealed the deal for me. He just outright attacks Regis and Geralt, and tries to kill them; his reaction after Geralt lets him go is worse. Regis understands him more since he shares a blood connection--he would never finish him off on his own if Dettlaff was at a point to reason with. I understand your point of view and I still have sympathy for Dettlaff, but that sympathy is very little now the more I think of his actions and motives (butchering everyone indiscriminately because Syanna dumped him)? And Syanna did feel something for him first before she dumped him; she is selfish but she had an excuse to avoid a long-term relationship when she is plotting and trying to get her rights.

very true you are right. Dettlaff had 0 controll over his emotions and indeed deserves to be punished for his rash and bloody deeds. Well :P perhaps the most fair ending is letting him kill Syanna and then end him as well but the consequences sadly are bad both for Geralt and Regis both of who did nothing wrong. :/

Considering Syanna was the first ever human who showed "love" for him and the first one he likely ever trusted, it's not just a simple matter of "Syanna dumped him" but the only human he cared, loved, trusted and held most dear showing up to be a betraying manipulating bitch that used him against other people he also liked (like that one guy during the Bootleg part). Yeah Syanna had better reasons, but she could also simply stay away from Toussaint. She wasn't forced to go back and kill those knights, she wasn't forced to manipulate Detlaff into doing those things, she wasn't forced to assassinate her own sister, but she choose to do so, and as such the people of Beauclair faces the consequence. Detlaff had his hands tied, because he loved Rhena too much, but Syanna werent tied. Ofc this doesn't excuse Detlaff destroying Beauclair, but it definitely doesn't make him a bigger asshole than Syanna either. Letting Detlaff go will prolly just end with that, doubt he'll give any shits about humans and likely do the same as the Unseen Elder and stay away from humans in general.

i liked dettlaff he killed the bitch cause she made him kill his one friend from the bootblack and used him.

I kind of agree but at the same time Dettlaff started murdering an entire city just because they didn't give him Syanna in time, so he's not innocent either.

@@nuriel1825 he's no innocent but he clearly have a deadline. It's the duchess fault for not giving into his demand. Sure he overreacted but she knew he was not a vampire to triffled with

@@nuriel1825 true, but that's like blaming a dangerous animal for attacking when you wounded him first.

You might like the books, a lot more backstory there ;)

bach pham but when regis asks: "to you, her ultimate fate- does it still bring on the occasional pang of regret?" Geralt answers:"yep. Still."

lmao canon choice is everybody the last cutscene with orriana just proves it.

@@colin3918 of course, i still feel bad for her, but i do not choose evil, doesn't matter even if it is lesser, greater or middling, kill a man who is not going to be a threat to anyone anymore is not my choice, but let him kill those who i sympathy make me kind of reget

Best gear for junkie play style .

It's more or less the same model as the default armor in W1. I loved it back then too

@@Kevin5279 Oh yeah absolutely! It's been so long since I've played W1 that I had forgotten, thanks for the reminder! 😁

Well played minion!

Also he reminds me of Red from Shawshank Redemption, see 5:28.

what was the reference

Khanh Tran Handsome Jaques (Jack)

ye, i liked that one too! its nice to see they got some easter eggs :D

indeed

My pleasure :)

But Triss is A LOT hotter and more cute. While Yennefer is a psychopathic bitch.

Nah, Triss is best girl. Yennifer is way too demanding, needy, and straight insufferable. Triss is a lot more caring, understanding, and willing to compromise.

I got ciri in the end which is better than either of them tbh

@@AimForMyHead81 Does the Ciri ending happen if you play with Triss and Yen's feelings during the main game?

@@brutal2826 Yeah, the ciri ending only happens if both Yen and Triss break up with you. If ciri dies at the end of the main game and Geralt is single then Dandelion will be the one who meets him at the end of B&W.

my pleasure :)

very true

Dettlaff murders thousands of people.

@@Anndgrim who makes him do that?

@@cuongdang3304 Deattlaff unstable emotions. No one asked him, he just did it because he is angru that he cant kill the woman that toyed with him. Is ultimately his decission that killed all those people.

@@BioMatic2 Syanna is the reason that made Detluff kill, and Dedluff is the reason for thousands of people die. So they both responsible for this shit.

thank you ;]

Well, i guess that answers the question i just asked. Not really much point in getting this ending if Regis is gone. If he did stay and you could talk to him post game this would be my preferred ending.

@@zackfair6791 but if he killed dettlaff, wouldn't he be cursed for killing another vampire or smth. Wouldn't like that for Regis.

Even when you tell Anna that syanna planned for her to be the 5th victim, Anna shouts geralt and tells him to piss off, this ending is the best for me as thr person who caused all this in the first place is syanna and she deserves to die the most
