Killing him opens up interactions with his mother later in The Witcher 2 should you force him to surrender, you encounter him later in The Witcher 2, and might even aid in his escape from the castle. You can kill Aryan in this scene (and his guards, if you so wish), or allow him to live. In The Witcher 2's prologue, you confront Aryan, who is commanding the guard that provides his castle's defenses. Warning: The Witcher 2 spoilers ahead! Choice 1: Did you kill Aryan La Valette, or allow him to live? Aryan La Valette, armored commander and mama's boy.Īryan La Valette is/was the son of Mary Louisa La Valette, the mistress of King Foltest of Temeria-the king whose assassination is at the center of The Witcher 2's story. However, my aim is to give you proper backstory so you understand what these decisions mean, and don't have to make them blindly.

I will not be telling you how each of those decisions plays out over the course of The Witcher 3, though some of those possibilities are notable: in The Witcher 3, entire quest lines appear that are only available if you choose/chose a particular path. (You can simply skip this Q&A sequence if these matters don't interest you by selecting not to simulate The Witcher 2 decisions when you start the game, if you prefer.) Fear not, however: I am here to provide some context, so that you don't feel completely lost when Voorhis confronts you-perhaps only slightly lost. If you haven't played The Witcher 2, you aren't likely to know the background to these queries. Before you meet the ruler, however, commander Morvran Voorhis subjects you to a shave, during which he asks you some probing questions. In this Witcher 3 sequence, Nilfgaardian emperor Emhyr var Emreis has invited you to the palace at Vizima. The bad news: If you didn't play The Witcher 2, you may not understand the sequence that presents these choices. The good news: The Witcher 3 allows you to select those decisions as if you played its predecessor. However, you may not be playing on PC, or perhaps you lost your save files, forgot what happened in the story, or never even played The Witcher games prior to Wild Hunt. If you play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on the PC, you may import your Witcher 2 save files so that the third game in this role-playing trilogy reflects the major decisions you made in the previous adventure.
