Yeah, at some point Ciri went off a deep end, but life straightened it out. And that woman was not Ciri, so Geralt did not really have any obligations to protect her. Ciri is a different case.

Following to your law-and-order attitude life wouldnt have gotten any chance to straighten anything out. So why exactly is Ciri different? Because you know her story and see how circumstances drove her to her actions? Why don't you give the same consideration to the woman in the trailer?vivaxardas said:You don't really see any difference between adultery and killing of helpless wounded people?

MarcAuron said:The Ciri element can be annoying sometimes, I wonder at moments what was Sapkowski thinking particularly in the Lady of the Lake, actually similar to this Geralt reacts to a raped girl because he sees Ciri in her, or saves Anguleme because he again sees Ciri , and then later he reflects that they don't look like Ciri, to be blunt a bit to much.
A nilfgaardian soldier says it, you mean.Kofeiiniturpa said:There's also no reason to believe she's not guilty. The narration says she is (and elaborates -- murder, cannibalism, looting) and there's nothing to suggest she isn't.
Kofeiiniturpa said:A more interesting display of moral ambiquity would've been if Geralt had made a choice between killing the girl or not and thus ending her needless suffering (or witnessed someone else do that and give an opinion on the matter), and probably angering the soldiers by denying them having their cruel "fun" while punishing a criminal, rather than letting her (a murderer no less) off the hook by killing the soldiers. That would've of course denied a grandiose fight sequence, but who cares about that. Now it looks more like an act on impulse with no rhyme or reason, or thought behind it.

That said, it was a nice trailer. Not as good as the CG trailer for Witcher 2, but nice nonetheless.
It's not necessarily an unbiased account of what actually happened.Kofeiiniturpa said:That is part of the narration, is it not?
vivaxardas said:Well, you are right. If it is the case why Geralt interferes in this trailer, then it is not really rational on any level. But now I really want to have a choice in a game. I really do not want to be forced to behave like this just because he is pre-determined character.

And in this trailer, we don't get an unbiased report on the story behind this scene, only the words of the Nilfgaardians who are about to lynch the woman.Kofeiiniturpa said:What's the point of speculating and drawing conclusions from possible out of scene happenings that are never even hinted about, and that we will most likely never know? This, the trailer, is what we have.

Thanks.
