Choices
Morvran Voorhis asks about the events of the previous game. The answers set the story so far when a save is simulated rather than imported. They shape small moments later on. Killing Aryan La Valette changes the talk with Molly in Broken Flowers. Siding with Roche or Iorveth changes one dialogue line at Roche's camp in Get Junior.
Two answers matter more. Letting Sile de Tansarville die keeps her out of The Great Escape. Saying that Letho is dead locks the secondary quest Ghosts of the Past.
Bowing to the emperor or refusing changes how the talk with Emhyr begins.
