Baron in witcher 3

so I finally played witcher 3 and I finished this guy's quest today. Now the quest and the characters are well made, but this guy was 100% a piece of shit. there was no "weeeell...he's got his reasons!". No, the guy abused his wife. He beat up his wife, the one person that he's supposed to love and protect over all others. It's actually quite unsettling how many people are siding with him.

maybe you should complete the questline first

Was happy I turned that tree into a horse desu.

>not skipping dialogues

Found the cuck.

if you actually paid attention during the quest chain, his troubles go deeper than what you'd superficially be led to believe

>wife cheats on him while he goes to war to protect his family

his wife is a thot

I don't know how many of you are just trying to be edgy, but just because his wife said some mean shit to him doesn't give him a right to belt her.

This. The wife started the bullshit mainly.
What he did at war was the norm afterall.

Shut up losers, only real men can talk here.

lol he looks like gabeN

No her talking shit to him doesn't excuse him beating her, her cheating on him while he's at war excuses him beating her.

why would you post this when you clearly haven't finished the quest

They're both douchebags.

t. feminist

They're both wretched pieces of shit that deserved to die.

if you can't empathize with the baron you are either a woman or a faggot

There's absolutely no scenario in which its ever okay for a man to hit a woman

>siding with Baron and destroying the tree-spirit
>preventing blind whore Philippa from killing Radovid
>siding with O'Dimm and leaving Olgierd's soul to him
>siding with vampires in B&W so edgy whore can die
The only true choices to make in w3.

>No, the guy abused his wife. He beat up his wife
Now I know you're baiting. If you actually played the game, you would realize that his Wife was a fucking monster, being the biggest whore around while he protected his family.

I mean, when he finally returned from war, she egged him on trying to get him to beat her, just so his daughter would hate him. Shit, the first time he struck his wife, was to defend him self. The whore was coming at him with a knife.

If there was a piece of shit award in that game, she would win it bar none.

The Baron's had a hard life...

>mfw Baron hanged himself on my playthrough
This fucker and his aids family deserved every bit of it.

t.cuck

She deserved it.

Obviously all the main characters the player has to help have some good points because this isnt real life. CDPR wants the player to emphatize with them.

You did help me lift the curse, right user?

I was pretty happy with how this one ended with the curse lifted and the fisher faggot dead.

yeah, nah

Equal rights come with equal lefts. To suggest otherwise is to consider women inferior.

They are both awful, I thought the game did a fairly decent job of illustrating the reasons why he acted the way he did. You also get the choice to hear him out or just be a cunt to him. Did you explore the dialogue and find out what happened, or did you just skip that part?

Not getting hit leads to some retarded adult women who behave like ass expecting nothing to happen to them because why would they.

lol what a fucking faggot you are, OP

why on earth would I be interested to hear what a wife beater has to say?

Johnny lives right?

Loved that guy.

You're the reason they used to burn "witches"

>tfw no Sarah godling imouto

explain. If I beat up someone you love and care about, would you be interested in hearing me spin a story as to why I did it?

[Put the baby in the oven]

I didn't even hesitate.

Because this game is very good at making things be different from how they appear on face value to give you a different perspective on things. Or, you can take it as you see it and go from there. I recommend a different playthrough making different decisions / dialogue options, I was amazed at how much more there was in this game when I did that.

>mean shit
wew

Say you were an in-law. If I were to find out that my sister one was constantly antagonizing you and cuckolding you just to get a rise out of you I would be just as pissed at her as I was at you.

Meatheadedness like that is what gets innocent or not fully at fault people killed.

>edgy whore
Who? I hope you don't mean the black haired sister. Play the game completely and explore her background and she is easily the most relatable while the vampire is just a massive fag.

Rest of your points are fine. As long as Radovid dies though.

>Play the game completely and explore her background and she is easily the most relatable while the vampire is just a massive fag
That was a great story, quite similar to the Baron in the sense that if you take her at face value without delving deeper you will think she is a massive cunt and is just being edgy. Totally changed my perspective on her, even if I don't agree with her actions.

she cucked him but 2bh he should've just told her to fuck off rather than savagely beating her in front of her daughter

he is a legit piece of shit

I hate France so I am VERY biased against any Francophone shit but Blood and Wine was a godtier expansion. Deserved the wine.

I meant WIN, but it deserves wine too.

Both of the DLCs were really good I thought, I reckon HoS had a better story but B&W felt like a whole new game. Toussaint was top tier comfy

Both of them were at fault, he's a cuck for sticking with her, and she's a thot. I'm glad they died in my playthrough.

Not to mention that she tried to stab him several times

I don't think being cuckolded excuses a beating, but he should have just thrown the slut out on the street

Yea, HoS was much more exciting (I played it second luckily) but yea, BoW is grand also.

She did try and stab him multiple times as well, but yeah he should have just ditched her.

Only acceptable time to beat a women is if she hit you first, any other time makes you a weak man. Beating your wife just makes you a retard.

STFU, you cuck. She started it. Talk shit, get hit.

They are both pieces of shit, that is the entire point of the story. In a wierdly ironic way they deserve each other.

it's mostly fucked up because he did that shit in front of his daughter

>tfw can't romance a ghost

Every choice you make will bring devastation.

I found HoS to be really lacking in narrative. There wasn't nearly enough time with Olgierd to empathise with him nor was there much exploring of any of the great themes within the story of Fasut. The potential was great but I felt that they just squandered most of it whereas BoW was fantastic as it perfectly nailed what it was trying to be.

What's with cdpr and cuckolding

I'll happily beat your wife but you cant even land a gf

He beat her so bad, she had a miscarriage.

The Baron is a complete piece of shit. He has his reasons and motivations, and they're motivations that are, frankly, realistic. He's not ALWAYS a piece of shit to everyone (he's downright kind to the girl Ciri brings to the castle, and to kids in general) but the bit at the end where he tells his daughter she should come back, he made her room up just like it was and now everything can be just like it was...

I pitied the piece of shit, but he was still a piece of shit. Most people don't just beat their spouses just 'cause (some do, but they are the minority); they do it for a lot of different reasons. I really, really liked the Baron arc, because he was a good character: a shitty person who was genuinely both shitty and a person.

The only issue I have with the Baron is that he stuck with his unfaithful wife. Maybe he did it for his daughter's sake, but it would have been easier to dump the bitch and find a new woman.

No he didn't.

He loved her, that was the problem.

>itt: americans whose morality is purely black or white or, even worse, think all ethics are completely subjective

The crones caused it

Same. Cerys is best girl and I knew she could be trusted.

>tfw no strong independent tomboy redhead gf

...

It doesn't make sense why she didn't just tell vampire man that the knights were assholes and he should kill them for her.

>>preventing blind whore Philippa from killing Radovid
>>siding with O'Dimm and leaving Olgierd's soul to him

Complete fucking retard.

>t. Ja/ck/

Plot.

Play the fucking quest, THEN share your opinion. Stop acting like any millenial pansy who jumps to conclusions after 2 seconds of exposure to a situation.

She tried that stabby thing because he was being a drunk and a legit dangerous man. PTSD fucks a man up real good.

Philippa is the biggest cunt in the setting. Siding with her on anything is the inferior choice.

If that's the case then there should be absolutely no scenario in which its ever okay for a woman to hit a man. But it happens. And when you react, even if it means holding the woman still, you get shunned upon like you just started some shit.

kys underdogfag

>she cheated on him
>this means it's okay to beat the shit out of her

In all reality the objectively best option is to allow Djikstra to take the crown. But that means the death of Roche and Ves so most players don't do it.

Dude, in life there is no black and white, just different shades of grey. NOBODY wants to genuinely be seen as a bad man, but life takes you in directions through which your human condition changes the way you are, even if it means becoming a piece of shit. All people need to do to is help these people instead of shunning them is to listen, understand the root of their issues, propose a solution.

>there was no "weeeell...he's got his reasons!"

And this is the good and realistic part.

You forgot to mention the fact that the Baron became a drunk with PTSD after he came back from the war. There are no psychologists in the Witcher universe, so it's obvious that the woman doesn't know why this man became so fucked up all of a sudden.

>when female/non-white characters are well written
Nobody gives a shit
>when female/non-white characters are hamfisted in for that quick SJW buck
Sup Forums IS A SOURCE OF RACISM AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT

>forgetting that she literally came at him with a knife multiple times

M'lady

severely beating your wife is not a grey area. what the fuck are you on about my man?

She really is but Radovid has to die so you'll have to work with her a while.

>Radovid has to die
Debatable and even if you come to that conclusion it isn't Geralt's job to do. That quest was best left ignored.

So many cuckolds in this thread

It's hilarious!

>Duu uuhh u shud never beat up women it's wrong and baaadddd

Nah, Radovid was way too dangerous to live. His ideals were way too wonky.
>Not Geralt's job
Unrelated. Had to be done, by who, doesn't matter.

>His ideals were way too wonky
He was a pretty run of the mill monarch. Every nation over history had multiple progroms against one group or another. Radovid winning is hardly some ultimate bad end that needs to be avoided, it's just business as usual medieval kingdom shit and when he was gone the world would have rolled on as usual.

You should never beat up anyone unless they explicitly need it. What defines that is: They are about to or are harming others, they are actually hurting someones rights and ability to succeed on merit alone and if they disagree with me.

My favourite parts of the Witcher are were Geralt lets out the fact that he's a big fucking goof

>that bank mission in B&W

>No, the guy abused his wife. He beat up his wife, the one person that he's supposed to love and protect over all others.
People didn't really have same morale as us back then.

>tfw you saved them all because you're a massive moralfag when it comes to vidya

>the one person that he's supposed to love and protect over all others

So you're faulting him for not owning up to his part of the marriage, eh?

What about her, though? Hmm? Or are you trying to imply that marriage is centered all around the man, that's sexist!
