Nah. You need a troll's tongue for the quest Melitele's Heart but I didn't want to kill him (he's the only troll) and the only other way is to beat a guy at dice but that's only if you haven't beaten him already from another quest. Also the troll needs to stay alive to fix the bridge to complete another quest, Mystic River.mileS said:

Just beat it. GOTY. The ending resolves pretty much everything going in TW2 while still setting up expansions/sequels. I really hope they do expansions. They're not as popular as they were back in the day but this engine is great and I'd like to see more Witcher sooner rather than later. Definitely going to be starting a second playthrough ASAP. Might wait for the new AMD drivers though. We'll see. I just love this game too much.

I just reached Vergen. OMG the music.
Honestly if the game stopped now I would still rank it as one of my GOTF. If I load the game again to find a piece of shit with confetti around it with The End written across the screen I wouldn't even be mad.

I know for a fact I missed a bunch of hidden and monster stuff in Act II and III (started some, couldn't find the end etc). That and CDP has said there are something like 16 different endings in the game. The one I got was a bit of a mixed bag. Decisions are a bit harder to make in this one than they were in TW1. I was still hurting from decisions I made in the prologue and some characters that are brought up then were never seen again in my play through. I get the impression I'd get to see them again if my choices were different.
Yes there are alternate paths for chapter 2 depending on choices you made in chapter 1.dgenx said:
I absolutely love the prologue and chapter 1. Chapter 2 is well done, although it feels like some things could have been done better. Chapter 3 just isn't very good and should be called the epilogue.toasty_T said:

So, I was in Flotsam, and a group of bandits from Vizima decide they're going to fuck me up. I say "Okay, let's do this". But they're not doing anything. They're just hanging around in a circle talking to each other. I say "fuck it, whatever" and go on my way.
Fast forward 3 hours later (real time). I walk into Flotsam after an extended jaunt in the forest, and cross these bandits again. Oh look, they finally want to fight me. That's fine. I floor all of them, finishing the last one with a particularly nasty Aard aided finisher.
Great. Awesome. Let's get going. We have stuff to do.
Uuuhhhh....
Why can't I put my sword away? People are gathering and starting to stare. PUT YOUR SWORD AWAY GERALT. Press 1. Nope. Press 2. Nope. Nothing is working. I don't want to cause a stir, so I'm not moving around and scaring people, but I also have shit to do. WHAT THE FUCK GERALT PUT YOUR SWORD AWAY.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Good, maybe they can tell me why i can't put my sword away (and also that Grapeshots need a patch).Technosteve said:
Hmm, this happened twice near the end of Act 2, a bug?:
I get into the caves to fight Dethmold and Adam Praggett, but am I supposed to just not hit Dethmold? I know if I bump his health down to 0%, he retreats behind that barrier and eventually comes back in to fight, but after I kill everyone else he just stays still standing there. The guide says he's supposed to open a portal but haven't seen it yet. Does he have to be in the "arena" when I kill all the mercs or something? Happened twice, strange enough

Just one of em thangs. Relative to The Witcher 1 though I'm finding this to be quite bug-free so far. I haven't had any scripting issues or anything like that. Been smooth sailing, knock on wood.
Only hangup I have from a mechanics standpoint is some of the hit detection in combat, and I don't like the way the lock-on feature works at all. Frankly it's terrible, but fortunately other facets of the combat and improvements there manage to overcome that issue.

The skip feature is fudged up there. Try RMB then LMB then LMB again to skip.thetrin said:

Yes, I've noticed that as well.

Another bug here, even though I run the game in full screen, the game will at some point go back to the desktop without crashing. I can go back to the game by clicking on the icon but it's quite annoying.
Anyone would know?
And for my first bug, I turned off some options in the Catalyst program, clicking on Let Application decide.

It's fine. I beat the kayran. Took me a couple tries. Turns out, it never threw boulders at me. I beat it after only cutting off two of its arms. Is there a longer way to beat it?

I can see how people can finish this game in 25 hours but you're doing yourself a huge disservice by doing so. So many little touches they put into this game. I'm still only playing through Act I and there are quite a few sidequests...
Another issue I have with the combat is I can't get off those pirouettes and flying Geralt attacks with consistent reliability. I know they're basically context-sensitive due to where you are relative to enemies, but it's tricky to judge. Sometimes I want Geralt to leap to an enemy but he just swings his sword through the air. Same thing with that rolling-into-slash maneuver, I can't seem to always get it off when I want to. Wish the controls had more precision to them.

Too many spoilers in here, there really should be a spoiler thread where people can discuss the story and their choices etc etc...
