      'I belive in a sword.
      As you can see, I wield two of them. Every witcher has two swords. Unkind say, that the silver one is for monsters and the steel one is for humans. Od course, that's a lie. There are monsters you can kill using only silver, but there are monsters for which is lethal using steel'- Geralt, Last Wish. (sorry for translations, hope you got the spirit). `'Coen? Ah yes, I heard about him. He died yesterday, true motherfucker, killed at least ten enemies before dying.
      People say, that his silver sword is for monsters, steel one for humans. That's a bullshit. Theyre both for monsters.- She thougth'- Claws and fangs, The scale of Duty. Im not sure if its 100% accurate, but it shall be very similar.

      - Side with Scoia'tel or the Blue Stripes? Doesn't matter
      - Helped Iorveth? Not even in Witcher 3
      - Killed Letho? No affect on game. Spared him? One short side quest and maybe he appears in Kaer Morhen
      - And what ever happened to Anais?

But they play no major role and neither does your decisions aside from making some very minor changes to the Witcher 3 storyline.

    Easily one of the top 10 greatest cinematics/cut-scenes in videogame history! I absolutely adored the look of the Viper-School Witchers, this one in particular. He also was a fuckin badass fighter, he was wining this fight/melee with Geralt,, so much so that Geralt had to resort to some unconventional trickery at the end there to win it. Otherwise Geralt most likely would have lost, either by being killed or at best - suffer from enough major wounds/injuries to incapacitate him. So cool, especially seeing as how this came out back in 07 or 08 if i remember correctly. Side note, after having not played the first Witcher or seen this ending cinematic since soon after it originally was released, so i had completely forgotten what Geralt looked like in that game, (and even the existence of this cinematic), until i was randomly recommended this on CZcams. So much so that while watching it for the first time in well over a decade, early on in this scene i thought it was some other Witcher and was like, "wait a second... I thought it was Gerald who fought this dude," until it dawned on me, that that guy was Gerald.

      IIRC there's also a moment in one of the later games (Witcher 2?) where Geralt talks to another Witcher and he says that Geralt has a noticeable gap in his defense mostly around his groin/hip area, stemming from an old injury he suffered. It looks like the Viper school Witcher in this cinematic spotted the weakness and took advantage of it via the kick.
      And yeah, Geralt is a damn good swordsman, but he's by no means the best. There are others in the Northern Realms far better than he is. There's one guy in particular I remember from the lore who's really, REALLY good. He's so good, in fact, that he's killed several Witchers and collected their medallions as trophies, even more impressive considering that he's just an ordinary human, not a Witcher or a Sorcerer.

    The first game was the most lore accurate from the way Geralt looks to the kind of Signs it had to the fact that Geralt only carried the steel sword on his back in this cinematic (the silver sword was rarely needed with the decline in number and frequency of monsters and Witchers generally always knew when they were going to hunt and kill a monster so it was kept with their horse). The concept of two swords on the back was borne of necessity because players didn't have a mount and because the games in general violated the lore regarding the rarity of monsters for the sake of diverse enemy content.

      No. Letho didn't know who was he. He says in the game that he, serrit and auckes were the ones killing kings. He said he heard about other two viper witches but he didn't know where they were.

      @@lalallallagunwolaaaa in reality the whole mysterious viper witcher is a plot hole CD project never cared to fill. I readed somewhere that they never expected to create a second Witcher Game and when they were developing assassin of kings they had to rewrite a lot of stuff.

    They could have included it in The Witcher S1 right after saving Adda and receiving his prize from King Foltest that would be epic..

      The show is based off the books. This event only happened in the games

      This happens after Geralt returns to Vizima. The Striga Princess contract was his "first" visit to Vizima.
      What I mean is that this wouldn't come up until many seasons later.
