Iorveth does give Saskia more screen time, which is good, and Iorveth is a gigantic cunt which is also good.

But Roche is one badass motherfucker who takes shit from no-one, while being on the verge of losing his shit.

It's a hard choice.

It was that scene where he acted like it was okay for those guys to insult his men, then sucker punched them that did it for me.

I just don't like him. Iorveth at least has a cause he believes in, Roche is just a nutter.

Roche is loyal to the king who dragged him out of dirt and to his country. That the cause he believes in. Also real men (and his unit must be real men even if they are women) must stand for their own, he shouldn't babysit them.

Exactly. Plus, with Iorveth on your side, you have his army of badass, freedom fighting elves and dwarfs to back you up. And by joining them, you're fighting the oppression of non-humans and doing the right thing. Roach is a dirty son of a whore and a flaming racist, and if you help him you're probably racist too.

You would have made a more convincing case if you hadn't posted this mere days ago:

We all know your agenda, you're not fooling anyone here Snuggler, if that is your real name.

Everyone has been inside Triss.

Best part about that Roche gif is how he just casually turns around after beating the guard. He knows how boss he is.

Yep. Definitely feels better. I had assumed it would be harder on normal than it is (maybe due to the 2.0 patch).

I don't feel the need to go higher, though. The combat is definitely more satisfying on easy, so thanks for informing of the enemies' inability to block, and I'm not dying all the time so I'm happy!

Real talk, the fall would have killed Iorveth. All the fall did for Roche is piss him off.

Iorveth isn't about brute force, though, since his higher level of intelligence makes him capable of more than that. In that situation, he would probably sit back and puff on his pipe like a boss as one of his squads of archers rain death on the enemies.

Exactly. Hes a pansy that sits back while others do his dirty work.
Roche isnt afraid to get his hands dirty with blood and testicle juice.

Sometimes I'll do this cinematic finishing move. I've done it on enemies with full health, so I know it's not a low health thing.

How does I do it consistently? Is it random?

If you stun an enemy. Blunt weapons, Aard all have a chance of stun. Theyll stand there all dazed with blue squiggles.

No no no, you're not getting it. He could join in and slice and dice motherfuckers, but he doesn't need to. Why dirty your hands when you have the charisma and swagger to command others to do so? That's what separates Iorveth from Roach. Iorveth is a shrewd master, Roach is an obedient dog.

I started up a dark mode playthrough and totally forgot that in the prologue that Roche can
order Ves to kill you
. So good.

Srsly. When I went to mayor's manor for the quest, and the guard was like, "Roche can't come in." Roche just mumbled like a biatch and went down the stairs.

That's not like a boss. Not like a boss at all.

After you finish the little mini events and right before being able to escape the prison Roche asks geralt what he would do if he escaped. If you piss off Roche, saying things like non of your business and junk you'll have the option to attack him and then Ves jumps out and crossbows you.

True Witchers finished the game before Dark difficulty existed...

Yeah, before Roche is your bro, he wants your blood

He secretly wants to be your bro through the whole interrogation though, Geralt and Roche are like ebony and ivory.
