DA Fan gives TW3 a shot: Text Based Let's Play

If I'd seen that option, I would have taken it. It wasn't there.

And so... Kiera lays dead at my feet. And the way Geralt burns the notes...

I'm sad. I honestly didn't believe the game would let me kill her.

I just Zevran'ed Kiera

Okay.

At this point, I'm going to hopefully keep the Baron from dying.probably fail. then I'm going to Novigrad.

I may barely know who Dandelion is, but I'm in the mood for some god damn cheer

Fuggin ell.

The whole village is destroyed, kids too, because the spirit tree horse.

On top of that! Friggin Baron's daughter is going after the Bog Witches!

This is all going to go down in flames isn't it? FLAMES

You had to tell her Radovid never forgets, and Radovid never forgives, especially sorceress'

Not to rub it in, but you've killed many more than you know.
Aside from saving the life of a fellow witcher at Kaer Morhen, she used those notes to go on and develop a vaccine for the plague.

Nevermind, maybe you'll do less damage in Novigrad.

The Baron hung himself!

I've been crying for ten minutes.

The Baron hung himself! Everyone I've even liked at all is dead. I've killed them all. I've killed NPCs I've never seen.

I wanted the Baron to be okay! I wanted him to be okay. Oh my goodness, this is awful guys.

I don't know if I can play this anymore. At least, not without a walk through so constant tragedy isn't this...constant? Ugh. I'm going to cry some more.

Awe you didn't let him hang himself did you?
Best not go back to Crows Perch then, you would want to see all the raping an pillaging the Barons' men get up to without him there.
Although if you hurry, you might be able to stop one or two being raped.

What?! Are you serious or just rubbing my misery in?

Dragon Age doesn't have this many... Consequences. Playing DA blind is just fun and exciting. I thought I'd apply that to TW3. But apparently it's the most depressing game in the world where 90% of what you do results in mass death. And there is this tiny 10% sliver where you chance make the right choice. And I'm missing the right choice every time.

Kiera, Anna, the Baron, Graham, every 10th city elf, an entire village including babies, random villagers under the new rule of the Ex Baron's Soldiers, and apparently unnamed thousands via a lack of the cure are now dead by my poor choices.

And apparently I've only done, what, a 4th of the game?

And someone else just warned me not to kill Ciri. How the heck is that a thing? Why? And knowing MY choices, seems inevitable!
