Yeah, that was really stupid design decision. First time I even killed her thinking I'm doing her a favor to end the pointless suffering being impaled by the tree in the heart.Ziguehart said:
I totally didn't expected her to make it after that.Probably, by design the devs positioned her to die anyway and then changed their mind but decided to keep the original animation.
I actually thought long and hard of that decision, even if I knew what kind of Geralt I was playing as. And I left her there(with her I mean Saesenthessis, I had at the time no idea she was Saskia) fully knowing that I was sparing her and that she was to live, and that the choice wasn't between her suffering to death or ending that suffering yourself. Sure enough, she flew away. Geralt later states to Triss that he doesn't kill dragons, ergo he knew, or at least had a hunch, that she would survive.Maerd said:Yeah, that was really stupid design decision.

It doesn't say they are immune to magic potions. They are not immune to magic.Ziguehart said:
How do you know where a dragons' heart is? It's pure speculation based on human anatomy, is could easily be somewhere else.Ziguehart said:
As for the poison, it was created with magic, so it's no ordinary poison. And dragons, for all their might, can still be killed.
As far as dragons go, I want to see the gold dragon from the books in the game. He was pretty awesome.
Personally I think she would have recovered given time, but Philippa when she discovered her secret froze her in stasis and sought for a means of control, ergo Geralt and the Aen Seidhe searching for a Rose of Rememberance.
As I understand it, dragons can't be killed by using poisoned blades (they are resistant), but if they ingest large quantities of poison, they die. It was how peasants hunted them. The same happened with Saskia - she drank it. Contrary to some other things, it is not a plot-hole.
I actually never meant that Philippa's mixture was a "poison". It was a magic potion to control her mind, not meant to poison Saskia and kill her.
Actually, it was an antidote + mind-control potion. Poison was what Saskia drank during the War Council. Who exactly was behind the poisoning is something we can argue for quite some time.secondchildren said:
Or is it so obvious that it was Philipa who orchestrated Saskia's poisoning by manipulation Olcan and Stennis?
