Bugs:The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt/Journal and Character Entries

This is a sub-page of Bugs:The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The following are quest or character journal entries that were intended to appear in the game's quest or characters menu. Entries slowly develop overtime through the additional of entry segments as the player progresses through each quest. Some of these segments were clearly intended to appear in the game but do not in the final version due to clear quest phase sequencing bugs or oversights.

Characters: Síle de Tansarville

Síle de Tansarville's character entry reflecting Geralt's choice to kill her or not

The following two possible character entries do not appear in the game due to a developer error in the phase sequence controlling character entries.

[If Geralt chooses to kill her]

Be that as it may, the sight of the tortured and maimed sorceress in King Radovid's dungeon made the witcher's cold heart swell with sorrow and sympathy. Perhaps it was these feelings, or perhaps it was simply respect for a defeated former enemy now suffering at the hands of cruel fanatics, that made Geralt take pity on her. Aware of what fate awaited her if she lived, Síle de Tansarville was grateful to be given a dignified death, one free from torment and humiliation.

[If Geralt chooses to spare and let her die naturally]

Yet Síle's wounds were serious - her life could not be saved. Time was running short, and so Geralt had to leave the dying sorceress to the fate that awaited her.

Characters: Yennefer

Missing character entry on Yennefer after talking with her in Vizima

The following character entry does not appear in the game due to a developer error in the phase sequence controlling character entries.

Geralt's relationship with Triss during Yennefer's absence had clearly cast a cloud over their reunion. If the witcher wanted to win back his one-time love, he would need to take bolder steps than relying on his memory loss as an excuse - one which, while valid, did little to repair the damage.'

Characters: Avallac'h

Missing character entries on Avallac'h after exploring his hideout in Skellige

The following character entries do not appear in the game due to a developer error in the phase sequence controlling character entries.

Geralt's trip to Avallac'h's laboratory confirmed that the Sage was interested in Ciri and her genealogy.

Based on the notes found in Avallac'h's secret laboratory, it seemed the Sage had been researching Lara Dorren's gene for over two centuries. Clearly the elves were investigating the possibility of producing a child with extraordinary abilities – like those which Ciri possessed.

The elf they stumbled across in Avallac'h's laboratory claimed his interest in Ciri was purely pragmatic and that he secretly loathed her for the human blood in her veins. Was Avallac'h truly so two-faced - or was the mysterious she-elf merely twisting his words to hurt Ciri? '

[At the end of the quest]

'Triss and Geralt had been through thick and thin together, but on that fateful day, on the wind-swept Novigrad docks, they bid their final farewells. She sailed off for Kovir, while he stayed and choked on the smoke wafting off the pyres of Novigrad.'

Missing journal entry after Geralt tells the Sergeant that he's taking Uma

The following entry does not appear in the game due to an error in the quest's phase sequence.

Geralt knew Uma currently resided at Crow's Perch. The baron's bandits, hungry for a bit of unrefined entertainment, had made Uma their jester. Geralt knew he would have to put an end to this farce, take the unfortunate being from Velen and, with Yennefer's help, try to lift the curse that held him.

Geralt managed to put together a full crew, though this was no simple task. His next was not any easier: he and the assembled crew had to break into the Borsodis' well-guarded auction house, then force open the door to the vault located within. Many a safecracker had tried this before – and all had landed in the dreaded Oxenfurt prison.

The witcher thus made his way to the Vivaldi Bank's Novigrad branch and paid every crown of his tax arrears. This lightened his coin pouch considerably and put him in a foul mood, but at least he could rest assured the tax office was now off his back.

Quest: The Great Escape

Missing entries related to Síle de Tansarville if she was spared in Witcher 2

The following entries do not appear in the game due to an error in the quest's phase sequence.

When Geralt reached the cell in which Margarita was held, he uncovered a shocking surprise. Rita was not alone in her cell: Síle de Tansarville lay there as well, clinging to life with the last scraps of her strength. It turned out she had been captured long before Margarita and her body had been broken by the constant torture she'd undergone since. Síle had only one last wish - she wanted to depart this world in dignity, and so asked Geralt to end her suffering.

[If Geralt spares Síle]

Geralt did not kill Síle de Tansarville. What prompted this decision? I do not know and quite possibly will never find out. Perhaps his nerves failed him, or perhaps he simply did not want another sorceress' blood on his hands. As for Síle, she saw only cruelty in his actions and cursed him for leaving her to die in agony in the miserable confines of a dank Deireadh cell. Then Yennefer took matters into her own hands - and ended Síle's life.

[If Geralt mercy kill Síle]

Geralt granted Sile's last request and ended her pain with one expert blow. Though they had not always enjoyed the best of relations, he felt this had to be done, as no one deserved to die a slow and painful death in a dank Deireadh cell.

Upon Lynx Crag the witcher encountered the witch, but he decided not to seek her aid in freeing the woman enchanted in the tree. Our hero decided he would employ his own devices to lift the curse. He managed to free Daphne's ghost, yet her specter was crazed and filled with pain. Geralt had no choice but to defeat it.

Missing journal entry if Geralt talks with Jacob after having picked up the contract notice from the notice board

The following entry does not appear in the game due to an error in the quest's phase sequence.

A short distance from Castel Ravello, Geralt happened on a notice posted by Jacob, a lumberjack. The logger was in search of someone who had no fear of spells and could thus face a witch. This was the very description of the witcher, no two ways about it, so it was no surprise that our hero took an interest in the notice and decided to visit Jacob.

Geralt found the refugees in a cave where they had sought shelter from a monster. Such is the fate of refugees all too often - they are forever jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. They told the witcher about the beast that had attacked them during their travels and asked him for help.

Quest: Contract: Deadly Delights

Missing journal entries regarding the succubus

The following entries do not appear in the game due to an error in the quest's phase sequence.

Geralt's investigation revealed a succubus had been responsible for the city guardsmen's murder. I've dealt with more than one such creature in my life and I must say, if anyone is under the misconception that encounters with these creatures are pleasant - well, I would disabuse him of it myself, but I know that is a task only unfortunate experience can accomplish. Suffice it to say death from a surfeit of pleasure leaves one no less dead.

[Spare Succubus]

After talking to the succubus, Geralt decided to spare its life. When he told me this, I was at first outraged, but then he explained the arguments the succubus had given him and convinced me the guards she had killed had earned their fate.

[Kill Succubus]

Geralt tracked down the succubus. They had a brief conversation, during which the succubus tried to justify herself by providing motives for her murders. Geralt remained unmoved and the succubus met with due punishment for her crimes.

Geralt ventured deep into the woods in his search for the stolen horse. There he came across a Scoia'tael camp. These elves, and not a spook, had stolen the missing horse. The witcher was determined to recover the villager's lost property, but the Scoia'tael were equally determined to keep their takings. Luckily, Geralt managed to strike a deal with them and no blood was shed over the matter.

Geralt didn't care much for squabbles between merchants. He didn't bother to collect evidence and in the end never found out who truly was to blame for freeing the nekker.

[If Geralt finds evidence]

Geralt found out that someone had ensured the nekker could break out of its cage.

Yet in telling a story, one should never get ahead of oneself. Suffice now to say the knights delivered their message, and the witcher agreed to take on the contract. He then promptly set off for Toussaint in their company to face the Beast that tormented the duchy. And thus the adventure was underway.

Missing journal entry after killing the Shaelmaar

The following entry does not appear in the game due to an error in the quest's phase sequence.

Dirt is a shaelmaar's element. Underground the beasts feel very much at home. Thus they are exceptionally hard to track and corner there. The witcher concluded that instead of chasing the creature, he would lure it to the surface. He did just that, and then promptly dispatched the Monster of Tufo. It was said that the monster's roar when mortally wounded was heard far and wide, even off in the distance, at the Ducal Palace.

Geralt had only to complete the most pleasant part of the job - namely, to collect his reward. This proved to include a generous gratuity, Monsieur de Bourbeau's choice of means to thank the witcher for telling him of his wife's betrayal. Geralt provided proof of the infidelity - a silver pendant he had found on the body of the missing farmhand Jean-Luc. Said pendant contained a lock of the unfaithful noblewoman's hair. I cannot fathom why the witcher decided to meddle in a matter not his, something he customarily avoided doing. I can only guess that he might have been inspired by an inner surge of male solidarity.

Finding the baron's wife had proven far from simple, and the witcher, for neither the first nor the last time, only succeeded thanks to a chance discovery. While he was asking the Crones of Crookback Bog about Ciri, he noticed the old woman who served them bore unmistakable marks on her hands - the same burning symbols Anna had worn in the fisherman's tale. There was no room for doubt: this had to be her.

Yennefer was not mistaken. Ciri had indeed been in Skellige. With her was a mysterious mage, and chasing them both - the Wild Hunt. When Ermion heard this, his first thought was of the Hunt's recent attack on the isle of Hindarsfjall - perhaps it, too, was connected to Ciri. Geralt and Yennefer set off at once to investigate this new lead.

While trekking across picturesque Toussaint, Geralt happened on the highly unusual Ardaiso Quarry. It appeared out of the ordinary as it seemed filled with the pieces of some mammoth statue, all hewn straight from the quarry's rock. Geralt arrived at the quarry to witness an argument between a group of workers and their foreman. He learned that the night before the quarry had been attacked by a falling… cow, which in crashing to the ground had crushed one of the quarry workers. The worker's colleagues had understandably insisted that they would not resume their labors until the matter was resolved. The witcher, as befits a professional of his caliber, agreed to look into the mystery.

When she regained her senses, she told Geralt her suspicions regarding Udalryk. The jarl did not commune with the gods, as many believed. Instead, a ghost tormented him, whispering destructive thoughts in his ear. A ghost -- if true, she would definitely need a witcher's aid. Geralt decided to help.

When Ingrid learned of Triss' operations, she sent her servant to ask the sorceress to spirit her son somewhere far away from his persecutors. The hunters kept a close eye on her residence, so they would need a distraction - and her upcoming masquerade ball promised to provide just that.

During this quest Geralt had to haggle like a fishwife, mix with mafiosos, draw with chalk in the dark and dive into a portside brawl. Most of all, he had to teach a lesson to the man who had squeezed Hattori out of sword making. All this so that Hattori would give up that infernal dumpling scrunching and return to forging blades. From then on our hero could make use of his services, and I sure hope he did so often, for otherwise all that effort was for naught.

Quest: A Dangerous Game

Missing entries when meeting the Duke with Zoltan

The following entries do not appear in the game due to an error in the quest's phase sequence.

Thanks some clever misdirection by Zoltan, Geralt acquired the card held by Caesar Bilzen. He also managed to get the card from Ravik. I'll spare you the details of that unfortunate incident, during which gushers of blood chased down pitchers of alcohol. Perhaps some future chronicler of the lurid and ghastly will fill you in on them. I will satisfy myself with telling you that, having acquired all three cards, Zoltan and Geralt met with their prospective buyer. This individual, it turned out, lacked something essential for the transaction to be completed - namely, his life. Standing over his stiffening corpse: Duke and his henchmen.

[If Geralt kills the Duke]

In any game, one must account for the possibility of losing. And in a game as dangerous as that played by Duke against Geralt and Zoltan, losing meant never playing anything ever again. Duke lost to the witcher, and the coin and cards all went to Zoltan, who duly shared his winnings with Geralt.

He was traveling disguised as a shoemaker when trolls seized him and demanded he cobble them up some decent footwear - like the kind humans have.

[If Geralt defends the woman]

[If Geralt gives the woman to the huntsman]

Geralt showed the shady gentleman the place where the woman was hiding then let him do as he wished. He had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of a far-off and unknown country.
