I really like the story in The witcher so far (having just started chapter 3) and how it presents difficult choices for the player. In particular I find the conflict between the humans and the scoia'tell (or however it's spelled) really interesting, so I would like to hear your thoughts on it.
Initially I kind of sympathized with the rebels, as I clearly found it to be racist and unjust to exclude someone from society just because they aren't human. So when given the choice in chapter 1, I allowed them to get their weapons from that trader (don't remember his name) at the river. However, after later meeting both Sigfried as a represent of a human knight and the elven leader from the rebel camp in the swamp I must admit that I find Sigfried to be quite noble and honorable (if maybe a little naive and single-minded) while the rebels starts to appear as being quite extreme in their methods - killing innocents in the graveyard and robbing a bank for example. Also their own views on humans are just as racist as the other way around
So what do you guys think? If possible I would like to avoid being spoiled about the plot futher than the bank robbery in chapter 3...
