What was the point (topic inside to avoid spoilers in title)?

What was the point of those questions Geralt was asked at the very beginning of the Nilgaard section, right after White Orchid? As far as I can tell, none of the answers you give change anything or have any noticeable effect on how the game world plays out.

Did you travel with Iorveth or Roche? Doesn't matter because Roche is the only one that you meet.

Did you go after Triss or help release Saskia? Doesn't matter because Saskia's not in the game.

What did you do about Anaisse? Doesn't matter because there's (as far as I've seen) zero mention of Anaisse.

When I played through the game and got to that point, I was expecting my answers would have some sort of noticeable and (perhaps) big impact on the story. But as far as I can tell through 2 full play throughs (choosing different answers each time), it doesn't.

For those 3 questions it might be relevant down the expansion I guess since those characters have yet to show up in this game. But for some other answers like letting Letho go or killing him turned out very differently for me and I was like the f**k..

That's true. The Letho and the Sile one (to a lesser degree) are impacted in the game. But those ones seem to just be asked for no reason and no consequence to what you answer.

Actually now that you mention it, the Letho answer is EXACTLY like what I was expecting. What answer you gave for Letho being alive/dead makes quite a big impact. So I was expecting all the answers you gave to have a similar sort of impact. Alas, they didn't.

Roche is also slighty impacted in game. I assume that every one of the character named in Geralt's answers have one or another little impact, but I've yet not found them all.
