Women of The Witcher 2

[Purpleknight]

Well, since none of the girls has ever addressed to me in conversations, only to Geralt, I obviously reject all of them! Forever alone in games :'(

But ok, If I had to choose any girl, Saskia was cool until (DON'T OPEN UNTIL BEATING THE GAME)

Spoiler

I found out she was a Dragon so, sorry, that's not a woman XD

So I think it will be... None. I mean, is very difficult for me to ever choose favorite characters, no matter if its woman, man, dwarf or nekker.

By the way, Shani being in the poll while only appearing in a journal entry is a bit... Funny XD

 

[Babli.480]

Philippa Eilhart

Dont judge me

 

[methinks]

Lacko of Shani is the biggest f*ck up of the game. She fits the story in no way, but that's no excuse. It's obvious that with the current story there was no way to carry over the choice between Shani and Triss, but not showing Shani at all?

Also - why the hell pretend that the choices carry over. Trivial things like whether Adda lives or not (influencing only a conversation or two)...

The Witcher 2 must be a great game to still make me rate it 10/10 despite those outrageous flaws

 

[Sirnaq]

Probably saskia

Spoiler

She can turn into dragon so we can escape.

Shani was added in the form of a journal entry, in EE. Link

Also, Adda's fate has anything but trivial effects on the game - one needs to look at the big (political) picture. ; )

 

[duskey]

I'd say Saskia. We don't really get any glimpses into her personality outside of being absolutely determined to fulfill her goals. I'd love to find out what she's like outside of fighting for freedom.

Spoiler

Plus she's a golden dragon, how can you not be immensely curious at the prospect of talking to her and learning things. Iorveth is right in being completely head over heels for her.

Also, she's okay looking I guess. I wouldn't throw her out of bed for eating biscuits.

 

[KnightofPhoenix]

Sile de Tansarville. Or Philippa Eilhart. The latter mostly to have epic conversations.

 

[Walker17x]

Saskia ! She is the better !

Nice find, thanks. Although I thought there was not enough time for this to happen (Triss has just recently finished examining the corpses, when did Geralt have time to pursue Foltest's quests?).

As for Adda - normally there would be consequences, but the game kinda ignored them. I hardly imagine La Valletes attle ould go the same way if king's daughter (not a bastard) was alive.

Adda is a bastard, she is not the product of marriage. Plus she is born of incest. Plus she's been a monster, twice. Plus she is married to Radovid. Adda has very poor claim to the throne. Let's not forget that she also tried to pull off a coup d'Etat and failed miserably.

Whether she lives or dies becomes essentially irrelevant when it is discovered that Foltest has other heirs who while bastards, do not have nearly the same obstacles as Adda.

Saskia, a dragon could take me out of the island.

 

[chlong7]

Triss.
She's insecure and makes some silly judgment calls, but she's smart and helpful and tries to value/respect individuals, which is rather important if you're stuck somewhere with just one other person.

Saskia is too "big-picture" to trust in crisis moments (don't really want to be her lunch on a bad day, either), Anezka is cool but there's not much to go by, Philippa or Sile or Cynthia...interesting but definitely unreliable.

Margot or Ves might be ok, but I'd still pick Triss first.

EDIT: She-troll is awesome, but I don't want to end up in her stew pot.

 

[BluesBrotha.966]

The worst choice would be anyone who can leave the island on their own after the first evening, leaving me alone without any dignity

Saskia would fly off the island, Ves would make a raft or any other handy device while I'd be asleep, Garwena would hang herself, the succubus would just do her job and then leave and the sorceresses being the worst, since they would probly enjoy the first few hours with a stranger on a deserted island, but then they would tie me to a tree, teleport away and watch through a megascope with their friends giggling as I try to scare away the local fauna with my only free foot. Mary Louisa La Valette would be an acceptable choice, but then I'd risk the island being invaded by Foltest.

So I'll stick with the she-troll and a Tom Gop mask, thank you very much.

At least she can cook...

 

[anduril79]

Definitely Triss! She's really grown up since Witcher 1, although I can't stand the hairstyle they gave her this time around.(hope CDPR can come up with alternative hairstyles to choose from as they did with Geralt.) Even though she seems to get herself into trouble in both games, Triss always has a toughness about her and she and Geralt make for an interesting developing relationship.

 

[vindafarna]

Phillipa would be my first choice, as long as I don't get on her bad side. Cynthia would be an excellent alternative as well.

 

[Rato]

Triss

 

[jpk1994]

Cynthia!

 

[GuyNwah]

Anezka (she doesn't get much of a part, but her description of her way of magic is one of the most excellent lines in the game. If I'm going to be stranded with a healer, I want her.)

Felicia Cori (with her beautiful... pentacles. Maybe she'd accidentally turn me into a catfish while trying to cure a toothache, but life is supposed to be full of surprises.)

 

[Kindo.824]

Whether she lives or dies becomes essentially irrelevant when it is discovered that Foltest has other heirs who while bastards, do not have nearly the same obstacles as Adda.

I think Adda being alive has a significant impact on the political board of the game, albeit somewhat passively in the background, so to speak. Her marriage to Radovid cements a stronger tie between Redania and Temeria, and while it's a long-shot that it would help him somehow take over the kingdom of his southern neighbour, it's still a bond through marriage, between kingdoms - child of incest and failed coup d'etat or not. I don't know, we obviously hardly see anything of this in TW2, but I'm content with speculating at this point, and I feel convinced that this plot state is of consequence in the grand scheme of things.

 

[WrATH64]

Yeah but non of them can cook or wash up after Geralt.

Too much woman power in games now days, it's like they have something to prove when really they don't. I think a lot of time it's politicly motivated by today's 'women most be strong and kill things' mentality, just like movies.

Skyrim is bad like this because they add women in that make assumptions about what you think of women, without you even saying anything.
