Technically humans don't acquire sapience, the defining trait of humanity, until they're about three years old. Technically, you could let them all roast and it'd be about he same as letting it happen to piglets.
I know the Witcher 3 was supposed to be 'grey' and 'edgy' and 'really make you question' - but, so many times in this game, I got the overall feeling that - the world's going to burn the hell down no matter what I do. Who cares? Next quest...
I just came in to say that i have to write a paper re: the trolley problem due tomorrow and all of my escapist procrastination is reminding me about it.
You dont do it in the end the end it was just pretending you did it without knowledge so you would feel guilty and pull the shadow monster out, it was a pretty good plan by the skelliga girl
By the time you've put out the fire, climbed up, got the cauldron down and be in a position of pulling the babies out of the cauldron, they would've all drowned in the water used to boil them anyway since they wouldn't be able to swim...so...might as well save the 6th...
and why I can´t throw witch in the place of the sixth baby, use my aard sign to stop the fire and throw the witch in the fire pit and eat delicious witch roasted?
@GabeZhul: It's actually one of the themes in the original books, that sometimes you have to choose one of the several evil deeds and you can't stay neutral. Yeah.
@Censuur: Unfortunately true. CD Project was trying so hard to make a morally gray world they went a bit over the line. After about 20 hours I stopped caring about the long-term consequences of my choices, because I felt like I had no control over them.
