Possible deleted content involving the lodge in act 3

Found some deleted dialog in act 3;
Makes me wonder if Yennefer's deal with Emhyr was betraying the lodge for Ciri or something, We never do get to read that letter that is so convincing and it's never explained why Yennefer hold's such sway over Emhyr.

Feels like a whole bit of the plot involving the lodge was cut.

The file is called q502_06c_yen_about_teleport.w2scene but q502_01_ - q502_06b_ are completely missing, wonder if they were never finished or just cut for reasons...

Spoiler: The dialog

YENNEFER: Search the beach to start…?

CONDITION 'q502_geralt_understands' TRUE
GERALT: What's next for them?
YENNEFER: Interrogation, torture… Then death, possibly. Philippa certainly.
YENNEFER: I'm not proud of myself, Geralt. But as it is, I've risked much by saving Triss.
GERALT: I understand.

CONDITION 'q309_triss_lover' TRUE
GERALT: And thank you. For helping us.
YENNEFER: No more. Please.
GERALT: Right.


CONDITION 'q309_triss_lover' FALSE
CONDITION 'q502_geralt_understands' FALSE
GERALT: Mhm.
YENNEFER: Geralt… I did help Triss escape.

CONDITION 'q309_triss_lover' TRUE
YENNEFER: Once it's over, you'll go to Kovir, live happily ever after.
GERALT: What I do once it's over is not your concern.

CONDITION 'q309_triss_lover' FALSE
YENNEFER: Why do the others even concern you?
GERALT: You serious? If that's really your question, no way you'd understand my answer.

GERALT: We need to focus on Ciri. What do you think Avallac'h wants from her?
YENNEFER: Same as Eredin, I imagine. He will use her to open a gate between the worlds.

Spoiler: Proof I'm not making stuff up :P

Replaced some files to make the game trigger the dialog.

Always did feel like the lodge didn't really do much and was recruited for little to no reason.

I'm glad it was cut.It makes Yennefer an obnoxious,lying snake.Totallly OOC.

Sound like more leak from romances story's fix

Agreed. Just doesn't fit. At all.

 

[Zyvik]

Oh God.I really hope they won't add it back into the game.As much as I bitch about the incomplete storyline of the Lodge,I'd rather have it ambigious than "they were all tortured and killed,betrayed by one of their own(again)".
And why does Emhyr wants The Lodge?They practically helped to conquer the North.Why would he want them killed?

 

[PATROL]

It doesn't fit to the current form of a plot at all. And Yen betraying Rita? Nope.

Once it's over, you'll go to Kovir, live happily ever after.

Oh well, this one is almost as good as the golden classic. Please keep on digging, maybe you will find more nuggets.

Wanted to be with you before, during, after - always.

Top notch CDPR writers are always hard at work. I mean, what can I say?

Happily ever after. Before, during, after - always. I wonder what's next?

 

[Zyvik]

When Yen asks:"Why do the others even concern you? " it's just...wow,who the hell wrote this!?Don't you care about you friends,Yen?At all?This is SO not Yennefer.

 

[Slowdive]

Top notch writing as usual

Gonna bet the new lines will make Stephenie Meyer blush

 

[Krull32]

Its a joke...

 

[RichEdmonds]

This is almost as good as:

If it was in the game, you could add Yennefer to your "who got the worst treatment" list, @Zyvik. I would be the first to vote ;D

This is so OOC it's not even funny

Nah,i'd be the first one

You guys are judging deleted content a bit harshly, it was deleted for a reason after all

 

[Krull32]

If this will come...

Spoiler

 

[Toyen]

Glad this got cut, this just does not make sense at all.

Yen betraying Rita and Fringilla?

I can understand Philippa but not the others.

This just sooo doesnt fit...........the way I understood it was that:

- Nilfgard gained knowledge about the existence of the lodge from Yen so they decided they are going to use the lodge as a scapegoat for the assasinations

- That made the sorceresses a very endangered species in the north and Yen felt so bad about herself that she decided to make this deal to make things right.

Besides, if Ciri is the empress she would never let that happen.

She doesnt love the lodge but she certainly would not have had them tortured, not even Philippa.

If this is part of the dialogue fixes well, then very bad move over here : /

Who knows for how long it'll be deleted :dry: But I just can't imagine that CDPR would even think about something like this.

 

[Rustine]

@Sarcen
Can you share mod files? I'd like to hear it with the Polish voiceover.

Nah, I'm just laughing. Thank you for the mood :smiling2:
It's like to replace the game character with another one. Pointless but funny.

My question is : why was it written in the first place? kay::facepalm2:
