What happens if you side with Horst in Witcher 3?

Siding with Horst in The Witcher 3's "Open Sesame!" quest means you'll fight Ewald Borsodi (Horst's brother) and potentially his safecracker, Casimir, after Horst kills Ewald himself, leading to a harsher outcome where Horst keeps the valuable documents but only grudgingly rewards Geralt, often with just a token item, not the house. This choice sets up a conflict where the greed of the Borsodi family escalates, and while you get paid, it's generally seen as a less positive resolution than if you side with Ewald and manage to save the documents for a better purpose.

Should I stand with Ewald or Horst?

In The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone's "Open Sesame!" quest, choosing between Horst and Ewald involves deciding which Borsodi brother to support in their family feud, with both being flawed: Horst is a self-centered usurper, while Ewald is a gambler who spent the family fortune, but siding with either leads to conflict, with outcomes depending on your choices and your safecracker's loyalty (Casimir sides with Ewald, Quinto with Horst). Many players side with Ewald, seeing him as less tyrannical, but he often ends up dead anyway, while others pick Horst to avoid Ewald's chaos, though both paths can end with everyone dying or a complex deal for the house and papers.

Is it worth killing the succubus in The Witcher 3?

Whether to kill the succubus in The Witcher 3 depends on your playstyle, moral compass, and whether you prioritize gameplay rewards (like the Succubus Decoction) over Geralt's usual non-lethal approach to sentient, non-aggressive monsters. Killing her yields a valuable mutagen for the Succubus Decoction, but sparing her (especially the one in Novigrad, Salma) aligns better with Geralt's character and can benefit you later in quests like "Skellige's Most Wanted" by proving you spare monsters.

Whether you killed Aryan La Valette in The Witcher 2 or spared him only affects minor dialogue and interactions with his mother, Mary Louisa, in The Witcher 3's 'Broken Flowers' quest; sparing him leads to a pleasant chat and invite to the races, while killing him makes her hostile, but the main quest progresses either way, with both paths offering different story flavor, so it's more about roleplaying than major plot impact.

Who's better, Yennefer or Triss?

Neither Triss nor Yennefer is objectively "better"; they offer different romantic paths for Geralt in The Witcher 3, appealing to different player preferences: Yennefer provides a deep, lore-consistent, but tumultuous "soulmate" connection tied to Ciri, while Triss offers a sweeter, more straightforward romance with a down-to-earth vibe, though with less story weight. Yennefer is generally seen as more powerful, mature, and central to the main quest, while Triss is warmer and more accessible, but their "better" status depends entirely on what a player wants in a relationship and character.

Deciding whether to take the rose from Iris in The Witcher 3's "Scenes From a Marriage" quest is a major moral choice: taking the rose ends her tortured existence in the Painted World, freeing her soul (and the demons) but potentially condemning her to oblivion, while leaving it keeps her bound to her painful memories but also her world, with some believing it allows her to find peace in her painted reality or potentially reunite with Olgierd later, making it a difficult "faith vs. oblivion" choice with no single right answer.
