After finishing the quest *Back in the Saddle*, you’ll unlock *Necessary Evil*. Von Bergow tasks Henry and Hans with gathering intelligence from Nebakov Fortress and interrogating a prisoner. The results of this interrogation will influence whether von Bergow targets Semine or Nebakov Fortress. This guide assumes you choose Semine, where the ethical challenges truly unfold.
Prisoner Interrogation Answers

During the interrogation, passing Speech checks is essential. You can intimidate the prisoner or use torture tools to extract information. For the Speech checks:
- “We’ll put in a good word for you.” (Requires 20 Impression)
- “Istvan and I are old acquaintances.” (Requires 20 Impression)
- “Otherwise, it’ll end badly for you.” (Requires 17 Intimidation)
Post-interrogation, you’ll discover Semine’s connection to the bandits. Reporting to von Bergow, you can either disclose Semine’s alliance with the bandits (leading to an assault on Semine) or claim no one assisted the bandits (resulting in an attack on Nebakov).
Should You Attack Semine or Nebakov?
Choosing to confront Semine involves riding alongside the party to Semine, where further choices await. Opting for Nebakov spares Semine but ends the quest immediately. While avoiding bloodshed at Semine might seem appealing, Semine’s actions have cost many innocent lives. Personally, siding with Semine felt like the ethical choice, even after forming bonds during earlier parts of the game.
Note: Failing to accompany the party leaves Semine vulnerable to massacre. Joining them offers a chance to assist.
Should You Side With Semine or Hashek?

Before heading to Semine, speaking with Hashek reveals his thirst for vengeance against Semine. Upon arrival, you must decide between Semine and Hashek. To side with Hashek, select “Hashek is right.” To side with Semine, choose “Olda deserves a trial.”
Siding with Semine is recommended. Although Semine erred by aiding the bandits, Hashek seeks total destruction, causing unnecessary loss of life. Playing Henry as a moral character supports siding with Semine.
Following the battle against Hashek, instruct Semine villagers to destroy their estate and flee. This advances the quest toward reporting to von Bergow.
If siding with Hashek, every villager perishes. Additionally, Olda can be found in the tower; deciding his fate—whether sparing him or handing him over to Hashek—is another critical moment.
Should You Tell von Bergow or Let Hans Talk?
The final stage involves reporting to von Bergow. Here, you can remain silent, allowing Hans to handle diplomacy, or let Henry speak up. Remaining silent keeps both men in von Bergow’s favor, as Hans excels at diplomacy. This leads von Bergow to plan further action against Nebakov.
That concludes everything you need to know about choosing between Semine and Hashek in Necessary Evil. For additional insights, explore resources like The Escapist for romance options and goat skin locations.
