I remember the moment like it was a hot coals-and-ink memory: Geralt sits under a harsh lamp, Morvran’s questions clipped and precise, and you realise one slip will rewrite a whole backstory. You can feel your pulse pick up—because these answers aren’t trivia; they steer plots and open or close quiet corners of the map. I’ve walked this tightrope for players who want the same ghosts from The Witcher 2 to haunt The Witcher 3: Remastered, and I’ll tell you which replies keep the echoes intact.
On forums you’ll find endless debates about import choices — Best choices in The Witcher 3: Remastered for simulating The Witcher 2 outcomes
I’ve played through the interrogation at Vizima more times than I’ll admit to friends. You get five pointed questions from Morvran Voorhis; each answer nudges the game toward specific late-game scenes and side quests. Answer them as I list below and you’ll replicate the key outcomes from The Witcher 2 inside the remaster.
| Question | Best answer | Why this matters |
|---|---|---|
| Did you kill Aryan during the siege? | I spared his life. He escaped. | You’ll encounter Maria Louisa while searching for Dandelion during the Broken Flowers questline. |
| How do you get to Vergen from Flotsam? | Got out of Flotsam with Vernon Roche. | This preserves your initial bond with Roche, which changes who approaches you and how later scenes play out. |
| What happened at the gathering in Loc Muinne? | Help Roche rescue Anais or Had to save Triss for Roche / Helped Iorveth lift the spell that held Saskia for Iorveth. | Your choice here determines which allies survive and whether Triss remains a consistent romance option. |
| What happened to Sile during the events of Loc Muinne? | Got what was coming to her. | Síle is recorded as dead — a cleaner outcome that removes a later tortured encounter beneath Oxenfurt. |
| What happened to Letho of Gulet? | That alliance still alive? What happened to Letho? | Answering this keeps Letho alive and unlocks the extra quest Ghosts of the Past; any other reply writes him off as dead. |
How do I simulate The Witcher 2 in The Witcher 3?
You’ll be asked Morvran’s five questions in Vizima early in the remaster. Use the lines above. If you want to be tidy about imports, check save-import tools and community guides on Nexus Mods or GOG forums; they help if your original saves didn’t carry over. The Remaster itself retails around $39.99 (€37) on stores like GOG and Steam, so planning ahead is cheap insurance.
In the lobby of subreddits you’ll see players brag about “perfect” imports — What those choices actually swing
Those five answers aren’t cosmetic. They ripple through NPC availability, romance beats, and at least one optional quest chain. Choosing the options I recommend preserves relationships and content from The Witcher 2 that CD Projekt Red linked into the remaster.
What are the best answers to Morvran’s questions?
Short version: use the table above as your script. I’ll say this plainly: if you want Triss to remain a stable romance thread, pick the Roche/Triss options. If you prefer intrigues and extra late-game scenes, keep Letho alive. Choosing the right line feels like threading a needle; the hole you make directs the fabric of the story.
At conventions you’ll hear veteran players give two-bit advice — Outcomes when you refuse to simulate
I’ve watched people shrug at the import prompt and then wonder why a key quest or face shows up differently later. If you answer as if you didn’t play The Witcher 2, here’s the default state you get.
- Aryan La Valette was spared by Geralt.
- Geralt escaped Flotsam with Vernon Roche.
- Geralt chose to save Triss Merigold during Loc Muinne.
- Síle de Tansarville was killed by Letho’s trap.
- Letho of Gulet was killed by Geralt of Rivia.
Will simulating change romances, quests, or NPCs?
Yes. Simulating affects who turns up where, whether certain side quests appear, and which romantic threads can be pursued. If you want extra content — for example, the Ghosts of the Past quest — keep Letho alive with the import answers. If you’d rather avoid grim encounters, marking Síle as dead prevents a later dungeon scene.
Tools like GOG Galaxy, Steam forums, and save-conversion mods on Nexus Mods are where I go to confirm how specific saves map across titles; use them if you need to repair or replicate a precise import. Your choices are small switches that flip entire corridors open or shut, and the game remembers them like a ledger. Which doors will you leave open?
