Talk:Where the Cat and Wolf Play.../@comment-188.32.103.47-20190809121729/@comment-38612593-20190813111016

Let me correct you on some stuff though;

1. Axii works on one person at a time. It has been shown to be ineffective when a witcher is confronting a larger group of people. You can see this exact failure if you choose to let Geralt try and cast Axii in a group of Menge's people while Triss is being taken to the torture rooms, and even Triss leaves a remark on that action.

2. Being "weaponless" does not directly imply that one is also "innocent". There are actually many good quests to be used as example in this very game. The most recent one I completed which comes to mind is the quest "Little Red", where that Bertram villager guy was basically a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was always weaponless and never really attacked or harmed anyone head on. Does that mean he was innocent? Definitely not.

3. There is literally no indication that said woman died slowly. A cut made that high in the vertebrae could prove more fatal than most people would think. Also, if you take a look at the rest of the villagers, they were not brutally killed at all. Gaetan's cuts were precise and efficient. Even Geralt says (during the inspection on one of the bodies) that the cuts were shallow, but that the killer knew were to strike so that he could sever veins/arteries. If anything, it is implied that most villagers died a quick death.

4. Nothing to argue with here. That's what I understood as well.

5. Wrong. From the conversation you can figure out that he has been cheated/scammed by other villagers before. What lead him to the massacre of Honorton village was a lot of things, one of them being the fact that he was being repeatedly cheated over.
