kobriel: That short cut scene with the bug actually made me sad; it brought a sense of destruction, or the scale of it. A bit of color and life after all that struggle and death (killed Letho, as promised to Roche when I asked for his help). Then I watched the credits sequence to the end, and the last tune made the feeling even thicker. It’s the contrast between the tiny life and (maybe) hope and the general ruin. In the end, another very short film shows Geralt alone, looking back one last time and then turning and leaving. It’s like it’s all in the past - people, life, friends, events, foes, love, war and so on. So, the bug thing feels kind of ‘well, perhaps there is life, spring, new beginning etc., but not for me, I’m done with this world’. It reminds me of the ‘tears in rain’ sequence in Bladerunner: ‘all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... time to die...’:

Wow, this was a nice little post to read, when coming back here after so long. :)
The ending was pretty good. One mind blowing thing though was brought up on these forums previously and I'm not sure how widely accepted the theory is, but here it goes:

You know the scene when, in ch1, Roche and Iorveth meet each other and duel? The theory I subscribe to is that never actually happened. It was all in the victors mind (depending on who you're speaking to of course). This makes sense as each character is vain enough to conjure up such a scene, plus what are the chances they would JUST happen to stumble across each other, both alone in the forest? WHY would they let the other live? There's no reason for it, despite hearing reinforcements they could have finished the other off and gotten away, safer knowing he couldn't be pursued. The scene, for memory, also had a rather vague, dreamlike atmosphere to it.
