Choices


Dandelion needs a loan from Sophronia. His plan is a fake rescue: Geralt plays a brigand who threatens her, and Dandelion plays a hero. Geralt can beat Dandelion, let him win, or run away. The choice only changes Dandelion's mood.

The dwarven builders ask for a theatrical or a boudoir style. Dandelion is happiest with theatrical. At Polly's house, Geralt can beat up Hubio or make him listen to Dandelion. The choice decides whether Polly stays with Hubio, but she goes to work at the cabaret either way.

Rautlec is deep in debt. Geralt can win a horse race for him, pay his 200 crown debt, or give up on the placards. A lost race only raises the debt, which then costs 270 crowns.
