Should I lie to the Nilfgaardian mother?

In The Witcher 3's "Blood Ties" quest, you can lie or tell the truth to the Nilfgaardian mother, as both choices lead to completing the quest and receiving the same reward (50 Crowns, 10 XP). Telling the truth reveals her son deserted to avoid killing civilians, connecting to another quest, while lying says he died bravely; either way, she thanks you, but the truth offers deeper lore, notes the official wiki.

What is the best outcome in ladies of the wood?

There's no single "best" choice in The Witcher 3's "Ladies of the Wood," as all paths in Velen lead to tragic outcomes, but most players find killing the Whispering Hillock (tree spirit) to be the least bad option for the Baron's family, leading to his wife Anna's survival (though mad) and his departure, while freeing the spirit saves the children but curses Anna and results in the Baron's suicide and chaos in Velen. The spirit itself is malevolent and responsible for deaths, making freeing it a morally complex act to save children.

Should I spare Gaetan in Witcher 3?

The choice to kill or spare Gaetan in The Witcher 3 is a major moral dilemma with no easy answer, revolving around his massacre of villagers after being betrayed and cheated by them, balanced against his own brutal life and sparing a child, with rewards varying but generally not game-breaking, leaving it up to player interpretation of Geralt's character and justice. Sparing him shows compassion for a fellow Witcher driven to rage but risks his future instability; killing him is a harsh justice for the innocent deaths but eliminates a valuable monster slayer and potentially a threat.

Should you help Berthold and Anisse on Reddit?

In The Witcher 3's "Now or Never" quest, helping Anisse and Berthold means Olivier the innkeeper dies, while abandoning them results in their deaths but saves Olivier and the other mages. Reddit users discuss this as a major moral dilemma: save two people (Berthold/Anisse) and sacrifice one (Olivier) or save the many by sacrificing the few. A third, less common path involves rejecting Triss initially, leading to all three NPCs (Anisse, Berthold, Olivier) surviving, but potentially ending the romance with Triss, note Redditors on a CD Projekt Red forum and users on r/witcher.

What happens if you sleep with Sasha in Witcher 3?

Sleeping with Sasha in The Witcher 3's "High Stakes" quest has no negative impact on your main romances (Triss/Yen) or any achievements, though some early guides/rumors suggested you might lose Gwent cards, which isn't true. Choosing to sleep with her leads to a brief scene and she leaves a letter; choosing not to means you spend the night counting winnings, but both paths progress the quest without major consequences for your overall game, letting you still get the "Collect 'Em All" achievement.

Should I fight Dettlaff or Free Syanna?

Deciding whether to fight Detlaff or free Syanna in The Witcher 3's Blood & Wine depends on the ending you want, with saving both sisters requiring you to rescue Syanna from the fairy tale world (with the ribbon) and convince her to reconcile, leading to killing Detlaff; otherwise, you might get endings where both die, or only Syanna dies (freeing Detlaff), leading to different outcomes for Geralt and Regis. For the "best" ending (both sisters live), you must get the ribbon, talk to Syanna in the fairy tale world, investigate fully, then fight and kill Detlaff.

Is Dettlaff innocent or not?

Dettlaff is a complex character in The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine; he's not purely innocent as he massacres hundreds in a rage, but he was manipulated by Syanna into committing the initial murders and is depicted as emotionally unstable rather than purely evil, making his guilt debatable, with many feeling he's a tragic, flawed figure deserving of understanding, though his extreme violence against the city of Beauclair makes him a dangerous monster who needs stopping, even for his own kind like Regis.
