I myself, was a bit unsure of what to do with Letho. He killed many important people, kidnapped Triss, framed the sorceresses, and soiled your name, but he also saved Triss from the mob, helped you get Yennefer, and he only killed the kings because he wanted to restore the witchers.
In the end I let him go, he did things because he thought they were good (at least for the witchers), explained everything, and killing him wouldn't have changed anything. He also ended up becoming one of my favorite characters.

So what did you guys do? Did you fight him to the death, or let him go on his way?

Talked. Drank Vodka. Pondered what I'd gain if we fought. Nothing. Left in peace.

Saw ladybug. Was happy and felt wise. Clapped at the credits. Read funny and crazy Polish names. Watched that last cutscene. Turned it off for the day.

He wanted to restore just his own coven of Witchers.
Ans also killed innocents just to make sure he would not be revealed, like the priest who tended to his wounds.
Don't make a mistake thinking that he is a good person. Altho a great character he is.

If you are role playing a good Geralt then it would be appropriate to kill Letho
If on the other hand you are trying to stick more to the traditional Witcher doctrine of neutrality Geralt who only concerns with monsters and curses then one would Letho walk away.

I let him live. Mainly because he saved Triss and I felt that was the most important thing for my character.

I killed him. My Geralt always keeps his promises, even if it is to a dead king and to a shady special forces operative.

I killed him despite feeling like I shouldn't. I mean I had to have one last good fight before I ended the game, no?

I fucking hate thread titles like this, although it technically doesn't give anything away, it heavily suggests that you get to decide a certain character's fate.

Which is a basically a spoiler in its self.

Yeah, I liked Foltest. Maybe Geralt and Letho were even between eachother, but that asshole instigated the entire shitstorm of the game.

I had to kill him because he killed my Poker Dice partner Foltest. But seriously, when did Letho save Triss? Don't recall it happening.

I killed that motherfucker.

Witchers are objective forces in their universe. Letho explained his actions and Geralt had no ties to the land and a cute sorceress and elf buddy to go on adventures with. So I let Letho live. 

I let him live, took Triss and walked away, leaving everything behind us.

Did not kill him, because I didn't feel like it.

I killed him.  He was a bad dude who deserved it.  Also, I didn't want the northern kingdoms to be weakened even more.  Wasn't Letho still under contract from the Nilfgaardians to weaken the north?  Who says he wouldn't have killed Anais, whom I just finished saving? 
 
Great game though, even if the game play of the 3rd chapter left much to be desired. 

He was Nilfgaardian scum, so he died...  Oh and after that fight with the dragon (who I let live) I wanted blood for all the crap that was unleashed by his actions.

I killed his ass. He took mah gurl, and worked for the Nilfgaardians.  
 
Also killed the dragon since that bitch made me die like a hundred times in the prologue. I did let Silé escape for some reason though. Should've let her blow up.

Killed him.  Whether or not he had innocent motives didn't make up for what he'd done, he didn't deserve to be let go and potentially would have caused more trouble in the future.  I very much doubt the Emperor was done with using him.

i killed the kingslayer as i promised to folstead and roche (even tho i didnt follow roche, i followed yorgeth), besides, in a world full of dicks, letho was a prick :P

I let him live. We had some vodka, talked about a lot of things. He helped Geralt (and me) piece together why he had lost his memory and Letho's reasons seemed somewhat justified. At the end, Letho, nor Geralt wanted or saw any reason to fight as Letho held no personal grudge against Geralt and agreed to go far away and not trouble him again. 
 
I thought the ending was very well done and I was left with a melancholy feeling that stuck with me, I can't wait for the next game. 
 
Now I'm going to play through the game again on hard and choose a more aggressive and revengeful Geralt and see where that takes me.

I killed him because I couldn't stand the voice actor doing him. Absolutely terrible.

I ended his life so he couldn't take the lives of others any more. 

Killed him ... I kinda understood his reasoning, but the end not always justifys the means. He had to be punished. I would rather have him in front of a court though.

I let him go. After the conversation, I just couldn't kill him. Too much blood was spilled, anyway. Not to mention that he helped Triss, Yennefer, and once upon a time... he was a friend. Also, I didn't realize that the Emperor he mentioned was actually a Nilfgaardian.
 
I missed on some great animation, though, but after seeing the ladybug, it made me smile and I knew I made the right choice.

I let him go. I did feel any motivation to kill him. Liked the kinda anticlimactic ending. Sorta felt kinda refreshing considering how most RPGs play out in the end stages.  
Although I want the witcher 3 or something, I wanna find out what happens to Geralt next. I mean he hasn't restored his memory completely yet. 

Also let him live. Look at it this way - previous to any of the political intrigue, monster slaying, and general Witcher BS that Geralt had to deal with in both 1 and 2, he had found peace with Yennefer and that should have been his happy ending. Yet the Wild Hunt absconded with Yenn, and the only allies willing and crazy enough to lend a hand in securing her return was Letho and his merry band of Witchers. To me that showed his true character, killing him would have had no purpose.

Killing him served no purpose.  He was merely a pawn in a grander scheme. 
 
 Plus, in terms of carrying over your save into the 3rd game the only thing that killing a character like that is going to do it seems is prevent you from accessing a certain quest. This is why I don't consider choosing to let someone live or die as being all that much of a choice, becuase I feel like the more interesting choice is always in letting people live so you can see how that affects the game later.  Like the elven girl that you get off despite leading those soldiers to their death in that cave, I mean you have the chance to condemn her twice, and the 2nd time she really deserved to die, but I let her live and look forward to seeing how that impacts future games or DLC.

I killed him, I wanted a climactic boss battle and I got one.(A very satisfying one at that.)

Ended up killing him on my first run.
 
I sort of liked Foltest, and I didn't get to see more of Trish in the game because of him.

Really? Foltest was kind of a self centered petulant monarch that would waste the lives of hundreds if not thousands just because he couldn't handle his own shit with his woman. Plus he was always pressuring Geralt to serve him exclusively as a hired bodyguard both at the end of W1 and at the start of W2. Going so far as to threaten Geralt indirectly a few times.

i killed his ass. you dont lay hands on my Triss and live to brag about it

I killed him, because, Triss. Also, I felt the game needed a action-packed ending, and not just dialogue. And I had to prove myself after he whooped me earlier in the game.

@Rhaknar: @Flaboere:

He actually did nothing to harm Triss. she just happened to be snooping around the teleport aparatus and Letho needed an out, so he made her teleport them, but that's pretty much it. What happaned to her in chapter 2 happaned because Triss and Letho got seperated and she got caught by the empire's sorceress. In fact Letho saves Triss in chapter 3 if you choose not to help her out yourself.

Goddamnit, I killed an innocent guy!

Now you will never forgive yourself. :(

He kept acting like he could beat me, so I killed him. I sure showed him :)  

I let him live......there are only so many Witchers left and I though he was a bad ass.  I am hoping he appears in the Witcher 3 and fights along side me

As u recall, Geralt already saved his life once, and this is how he repaid? If he had any ounce of honor , Letho would never do anything against Geralt cuz he owed him his life.

He died for being an ungrateful puppet of the emperor, with no honor.

He deserved to die, Geralt gave him a 2nd chance by saving his life once already and my Geralt doesn't give a 3rd chance.

@Mundane23: But Letho did spare Geralt's life in the Ruined Elven Baths. He also saved Triss.

On the other hand, Geralt made a promise to Roche (if you don't then he kills you, actually ves does, but w/e).

There's also a chance you killed henselt though, in which case you can't justify killing letho. In either case, killing him accomplishes nothing. There's justice perhaps, but even that is debatable.

I killed him, he made me look like an incompetent bodyguard and nobody makes a witcher look stupid and lives to tell the tale.
