Talk:The Whispering Hillock/@comment-5697538-20180517201515

Regarding freeing the spirit before taking the Whispering Hillock quest, there seems to be some confusion as to exactly what it was that CDRekt confirmed. In fact I think the CDR rep themselves were confused as to what was being talked about in the thread. They confirmed that there is no bug at work here and that it works as intended. They also explicitly state that the spirit did NOT free the children. They also state that the reason the spirit didn't free the children is because Geralt did not meet the children yet. (considering that this 'trick' works even if you DO meet the children but DON'T take the Hillock quest yet reinforces the notion that CDR was unclear as to the nature of the discussion)

They do not otherwise say what the children's fate actually was and I think I think a lot of people on here are seeing and hearing what they want to see and hear because they want the children not to die but they also want Anna not to die.

The only thing solidly stated by CDR is that freeing the spirit first results in children not being rescued....
