This has SPOILERS from Chapter 1 and was moved here from the Big Fight in Chapter 1 post, since it required me to have more than 10 Spoiler tags, it was getting messy.
I switched back to the Short/Default English version so if there is an issue/mistake due to translation from Polish, oops.
There is absolutely nothing in MY game that suggest Abby knew Ilsa would kill herself, I even carried that bottle with me for every conversation and never got to question her directly about Ilsa. The only dialog tree I didn't do was picking the 4 or so incorrect answers to the question of the Beast. Having tested and double tested, I was never able to ask her about the Poison Bottle and the only time this comes up in conversation is in the cave. When Geralt speaks to her Abby says "Mykl raped Ilsa", Geralt replies "You profited from the poison".
Then, Abby in a separate description of Haarg's and Odo's incidents from the previous dialog about Mykl and Ilsa, Geralt responds "You knew and did nothing".
This statement from Geralt proves to be untrue and unfair, as she is a single woman in a town full of rape, racist and murder gangs whom actually did do something. After, as a little girl from this village who at the very least was forced to watch as her puppy was skinned alive, became a witch to defend herself.
While we don't know the extent of her powers besides being very skilled at making potions, she seems have made the doll, after the fact to try to punish Odo through torment and/or guilt. Secondly she seemed to only promised to sleep with Haarg if he would sell weapons to the Squirrels, as punishment for selling a Squirrel to the Guards. Yet Haarg claims this as she was forcing him, well yeah sure this is true but only in the context of sex.
Odo, claims she put a spell on him to kill his brother, there are two HUGE problems with this, if true how would Odo know this? It's called Projection. The Reverend clearly says "she has abilities beyond the understanding of these simple folk". and secondly is Odo's claim of hatred of warriors, which most likely comes from jealously over Warriors being able to attract women, i..e. Abby whom Odo must have had a crush on, yet his brother earned her desire, driving him into his Murderous state, NOT Abby's Potions.
So she was trying to do something by reacting to the environment she lived in and imo tells us about Geralt as well as providing more depth, even as hard as he may try at being impartial, occasionally he gets it wrong.
