Where's Saskia...Iorveth?

+
Like some users on this thread pointed out, having Iorveth in the main story would not make sense, do you imagine him fighting his own cousins and his supposed saviours (the Aen Elle) even if you helped him in W2? I doubt it.
That said, I would want to know the fate of Saskia at least.
He doesn't have to be in main story. You could make some side story with him..

I do really hope they bring him back with some expansion.
For example Dol Blathana expansion: Ioverth defends Vergen against Nilfgard invasion and gets wounded/escapes to Dol Blathana, but he could escape to pretty to anywhere, as Novigrad being free city he could go there as well, or even to forest in Velen..
 
I haven't found these items in game, but there are two console commands with Iorveth (or Iorweth)'s name in them. Both are for quest items, one for letter(s), another for an arrow.

Whether these are in the game at present or not I haven't tested, because if they're out there I'd like to discover them without console commands.
 
characters serve the story, not the other way around

if Iorverth and Saskia did not fit in, then they rightfully have no place in this game

You can't really say that if there was a quest written around at least Iorveth already though. My guess is they just ran out of time to implement it properly and/or were saving it for a DCL instead.
 
its known iorveth was planned and even worked on. from the leaked stuff most likely in combination with the assasination plotline. saskia i believe wasnt written in the set, but i would have to look through it again.

or perhaps the quest/s was just scrapped because it did not fit or because they were not good

there is far more stuff that gets fully done and then scrapped than some people tend to imagine

That's a very narrative - or "booky" - point of view. In games I make choices and the story has to evolve around them, not the other way around.
 
Well, they can't stick them in just because people want to. At least, not Saskia because she is killable in TW2. I kill her all the time, and I do not want her to get miraculously resurrected in TW3. If they decide to do it, do it right. Add another question about the past (whether Geralt killed the dragon or not), and if a player answers "I let the dragon live", Saskia will be in the game.

So my Saskia is dead, and Iorveth, if to judge by a conversation about him, dead as well.

I think they will and should stick them in for people who want them. And quite a lot of people do!

So don´t worry, if you don´t want them they probably won´t be forced on you.

Exactly what I was saying. We make choices and the story has to evolve around them. Otherwise it wouldn't even be a game, but a book. They already resurrected Thaler, and that's enough of that for me (Even though I think most people let him live anyway).

And as simple as your solution is, I frankly don't get why this wasn't implemented in the first place. By cutting them out they ignored about 50% of the peoples choices who finished the Witcher 2. Even if they add them in later and even if they planned to do so in the first place, it was a bad decision and why it was being made is beyond me.

To clarify: I went with Roche, but I'm upset about the general idea of declaring stuff as canon. Very upset as you all can read ;) :mean:
 
It's all about choices. Letho is the perfect example how characters can show up for those who chose to spare him.

In no way whatsoever are Roche/Ves anymore interesting nor important than Iorveth and Saskia.

And the borders and territory argument is laughable. Neider Aedorn nor Temeria exist anymore, it's all Nilfgaard now and refugees from everywhere are everywhere.

Yeah, the same with me. CDPR went practically 100% with my preferred playthrough, with allowing choices for certain things to matter (Aryan, Sile are dead, Letho is alive), so I am not bashing my head at the stone wall in anguish as I would be if we suddenly had free Vergen and Saskia still flying around, and delivering motivational speeches to everyone who'd listen. But I would prefer CDPR have taken more care to address other TW2 endings.

Personally hoping for an expansion pack set in Dol Blathanna.

As the Scoitel Gwent cards would suggest, they might have allied with Francesca seeking to create a free country over there.

I expecting that this two charcater will apear in one of the two expansions. but, with all due respect, we have to be realistic: a new expansion which takes place in Dol Blathanna? an entire new area apart fromt the other one which have been announced?. No man, that won't happen, the only thing we can expect (and I do with no much hope) is the modification of the game which we already have in a different way

Well they can still announce a Dol Blathanna expansion and it can come out later in 2016. They said that 2015 and 2016 are the years of the Witcher, and the second expansion comes out at the beginning of 2016.

So there is still hope : )
 
He must be in an expansion!

I remember from very early interviews, the writers mentioning Iorveth saying that he is a "different man" now. So I guess they cut him out of the final game for some reason.


this is the video from 2 years ago

they obviously had quests for him and Isengrim(?) but maybe they cut them cuz they didn't have enough time. Who knows maybe the final of the 16 DLC will be Iorveth and Isengrim. I do wanna see the leaked scripts and see what else they cut.

Yeah thats the video!

I doubt that will be it but it would be awesome! The biggest thing on my wishlist though is Saskia.

She could have united the North and won the war against Nilfgaard!
