During today's gameplay, I noticed two things:
- While doing the side quest (evil witch, for example), I noticed that I have an option to either just help the person or to make a deal. I think this is where the “ethical” part of the gameplay comes in. I could’ve just helped the person without asking for anything, but at the same time, I do understand that it is Geralt’s job and he needs some payment for the service.
- Another side quest is to find a guy who started a fire in town. When Geralt finds the guy, the guy asks Geralt not to turn him in. If so, he will give Geralt some gold. This is another moment where the player of the game gets to make an ethical decision. Of course, the guy doesn’t want to turn himself in, so Geralt had to use the magic power to control his mind. I also like the fact that the game rewarded me an extra 25 XP points for trying to persuade the guy who started the fire.

Since the last play, the story of the game progressed a bit, but there weren't any events that were related to any ethical decisions. Geralt goes around the inn asking people about the Yennefer and finds out more information about Yennefer. Geralt heads over to where the Nilfgaardians are to find out more about Yennefer, but the commander of the Nilfgaardians says that information about Yennefer is a military secret and cannot be shared. Geralt and the commander makes a deal where if Geralt slays a griffin, then the commander will tell Geralt about Yennefer.

Just started the game. Within the first hour of the gameplay, here are few things I've noticed so far.
- Two witchers were on their way to find Yennefer and find this guy named Bram. Bram was attacked by a griffin and the griffin ate Bram's horse. Two witchers decided to help him out and after they scared the griffin away, Bram asks the witchers if they wanted a reward, because that's what the witchers would typically ask for. I chose not to receive any rewards and Geralt said, "You don't owe us anything. You were in need, we helped." I like the fact that the players get to choose the way to play this game and make ethical decisions along the way.
- When the witchers went into the inn and wanted to ask around about Yennefer, you get an option to just ask people or to influence people’s mind with magic power and get the answer you want. If you just simply ask, you may not get the answer you want from them, so manipulating people's mind is necessary sometimes. I find that somewhat unethical because some people may have a reason not to share certain information and they have a right to. However, their mind was manipulated by a magic power and were basically forced to tell them what they wanted.
