spoilers Radovid, Adda and Anais

[Corlan]

Upon siding with our dear Inquisitor, Conspirator, Brother in Arm the beloved Commander of the Blue Stripes Vernon Roche, during act 3 you'll be summoned to negotiate with King Radovid, who will have a quite interesting offer.

 

Now for those who have played the first game, do skip this paragraph, to the rest, I'll explain. You meet our fellow friend, the king of Redania in the third act of the First game. With him letting you know of his plans to join the Royal families of Redania and Temeria together, and asks for your opinion on Princess Adda.

 

Now, I slayed her this time since it seems she doesn't like being cured. I do know that if you break the curse for a second time the two will eventually marry, and promise a bright future and so on. The thing is, does this change Radovid's offer to Marry Anais in the third act? If so, that does make freeing Anais completely useless.

 

Altogether does Temeria still fall into Chaos if you preserved Adda in the first game?

I wish someone would come in and give a definite answer to this. Did EVERYONE at The Nexus bump off Adda in TW1? Enquiring minds need to know. :)

 

Dunno if this is correct or not, but what I've picked up from searching other forums is

- Adda married Radovid as planned.

- The Temerians have refused to accept Adda (and therefore Radovid) as monarch because of her somewhat colourful history as a child of incest and a two-times striga, so Anais is still the only option available.

- The only impact on the story itself in TW2 is that Radovid doesn't make the offer to marry Anais. Anais can, of course, still be freed to become ruler in her own right.

 

The possible outcomes in TW2 are therefore pretty much the same regardless of what happened to Adda in TW1.

It has been a long while since i did the Roche side bit in TW 1 i cured Adda and also saved Anais in W2 but in the end i believe she ended up with John Natalis .

I saw something yesterday in the wiki that Radovid wants to marry off Anais to one of his nobles if he can't marry her himself. Still dunno the details.

 

Thanks Tommy.

I'm starting the first game again today, will probably try to keep Adda alive, let's see what happens.

 

Thanks for the very kind information Tommy, you have my Kudo.

This is what I noticed If you saved Adda in TW1.

 

In the Prologue:

King Foltest mentions that Adda is alive and married to King Radovid, thanks to the witcher. The people of Temeria would never stand for having a Redanian (Radovid) on their throne, so Adda must stay content with being queen of Redania.

This is why Foltest was so keen on getting Anais and Boussy La Valette back in his control... he needed an heir to his throne of that his people would accept, all the better that they were also from one of the oldest noble families of Temeria.

 

If you choose Roche Path, in chapter 3:

During the discussion between King Radovid, Geralt and Roche. Radovid says he wants to bring Anaise to his capitol city in Redania to be raised by her half sister, Adda. When Anais is old enough, she will be able to take her rightful place as ruler of Temeria.

Later when Geralt and Roche save Anais from Dethmold, they discuss whether to bring her to Radovid or Natalis. One of the things mentioned is that if they give Anais to Radovid, but Adda fails to produce an heir for Radovid, he could easily get rid of Adda and marry Anais when she come of age, convieniently making him ruler of both Redania and Temeria. Even if Adda does produce an heir for Radovid, Anais would be married off to some Redanian noble ie.. she would still be under Redanian control. (The downside for giving Anais to Natalis is that it could spark a civil war in Temeria)

and if you give Anais to Natalis during the council meeting at the end roche mentions that Anais will be a fine ruler and that the little princes stopped playing with dolls and wanted to learn sword play. kind of reminds me about the 1st time you meet radovid in TW1 about his fathers murder and started training with swords. hmmm
