[ACT II] Confrontation in Raymond's Office -- MASSIVE SPOILERS
I suggest that you not read this thread until you've played the game through once.I mean it.Okay, if you haven't finished the game and you're still reading, it's your own fault. Just for kicks, after I found the real Raymond's body in the crypt, I went to see the fake Raymond and told him that I'd screwed up the autopsy (not true, we hadn't even done it yet). He got all excited about Ramsmeat and Kalkstein, and I told him that something was worrying me. He invited me to share, and I told him that I'd found Raymond's body, and the game was up. He said that if he were really Azar, he'd crush me like a worm and asked, "Do you want to die, witcher?" I answered, "Suppose I do." Azar said that he'd anticipated this, and his men were standing by.Well, so had I, so I already had Full Moon and Swallow in my belly and Crinfrid Oil on my blade. A bunch of guys labeled "Salamandra Executioner" ran in, but they weren't all that hard to kill on group style. Then more guys ran in. And more guys. There is evidently an unlimited supply of Salamander executioners. By the time there were 25 illegal swords on the ground, the game was moving v e r y s l o w l y. It crashed shortly thereafter, after politely informing me that it was out of memory.I guess you can't win this fight; they keep sending executioners until your computer crashes. That's one way to win a fight. Anyway, this isn't a useful or productive path to follow, but I'd never heard anybody mention it before, and it was fun to try once, just to see it. I know that people have discussed the Headhunter -- another non-productive path, but an interesting feature of the game, nevertheless -- and if you want to ride all the rides and see all the sights, you might want to experience the never-ending flow of Salamandra executioners once. Has anybody else done this?If you want to try it, the conversational path is:G: I find your reasoning somewhat flawed. (They'll have some back-and-forth about this, then)G: Something's been worrying me. (Raymond/Javed will talk about how trustworthy he is.)G: Game over. I found Raymond's body. Surrender, Javed...Or you can go the longer and more amusing route and have Geralt tell Raymond he's a suspect and suggest that he role-play Javed.
