Man, Once you get Quen II, fighting groups becomes insanely easy. The fact that it starts reflecting damage back on enemies is awesome. (Kinda wish I'd had it during the

Letho

fight in Chapter 1.)

I think the limit stays fixed, but I'm only at the end of Chapter 1. There is a weightless inventory mod linked a page or two back if you're getting frustrated at the arbitrary limit. I just started using it and I can't think of going back.

Besides the Strong Back ability from the prologue, there are probably items that add weight. I've only gotten one so far though.

JohngPR · May 20, 2011

In the first Witcher game, I banged anyone and everyone, but in this one....I have a guilty feeling anytime I'm propositioned. Anyone else feel this way?

Maybe it's because of the relationship I established with Triss, but I feel like staying faithful to her.

I do the same. I avoid sex with anyone but Triss, even though I was kinda hard-pressed when Ves came on to me. Special forces chicks must be pure napalm in the sack.

Where do you find that in the prologue? I only managed to fine the Assassin one.

Chapter 1 spoilers

After that conversation you have with her in the elven fountain I can see where you're coming from. Kinda scummy to sleep with every whore in town after she promises to drop everything to help you on your mission.

Can anyone rehost that weightless mod? Mediafire link is down for me.

Solo · May 20, 2011

Screw that. If she's willing, I'm plowing.

Salaadin · May 20, 2011

Regarding mutagens, I have a ton. Are these permanent stat boosts or temporary? Should I be using all I find?

Permanent. I personally save for greater mutagens (I don't know if there is a tier beyond that) since you can't remove them after they are placed.

Anyone know the back story behind this ploughing obsession?

It comes up in conversation within the first few minutes of the game, and that sets the tone throughout. It would be funny to see how long people can last if they played a drinking game centered around the word 'ploughing' in the game.

There's even a hilarious song regarding ploughing sung by a drunk guard.

What do they attach to? Armor?
I usually full my armor slots with enhancements.

Oh yeah, I know it's from the game but they use it constantly, even enemy soldiers shout it in some context. Just thought it had some back story from CD Projekt's standpoint?

Plough = Fuck in the Witcherverse. Similar to "frak" in Battlestar.

Varna · May 20, 2011

Damn. Gerald looks so awesome in the hooded armor.

Nearing the end of chapter 1...

Been doing everything I could. Just finished crafting the best weapons and armor I could find. All out of side quest too... spoiler'ish question, are there any easy to miss side quest? Just randomly walked into a house and

got the whole hang over sidequest. I can get rid of this tattoo eventually right?

You should have a game guide which you can check up on and see all the quests.

Yes you can by talking to either Triss or the other sorceress later on, but I can't for the life of me find one of the ingredients to do so. Wolf's Aloe I think it is?

PaulLFC · May 20, 2011

Just bought this! Can't seem to register it after installation though, I keep getting "A connection to the server cannot be established" when trying to create a new account, and the Login and Register buttons on thewitcher.com are greyed out.

Emailed their support address and asked them about it on Twitter, but is anyone else still having this problem? According to their forums it was like this a couple of days ago but should have been fixed now. Doesn't seem to be, though.

Edit: Seems to have fixed itself now. I applied the patch (had to manually install it), then tried to register again and it worked. Not sure if applying the patch was connected though.

Lostconfused · May 20, 2011

Raven's armor still the best armor.

Not really, you can get better armor in Chapter 1.

Regarding the burned mansion quest in act 1

am I reading into this too much or was there a vibe from that woman that she was formerly a patient of theirs with her "just like old times" comment. Was she loredos wife?

Varna · May 20, 2011

There is at least two much better armors in ch1.

She is the mother of Loredo. You will find out a bit more about her later.

The wall scribblings in her room (only visible if you choose one of the two branching paths at the end of chapter 1) confirm that yes, she is a patient from the asylum.

Am I imagining things, or does drinking Rook, for the increased strength and damage, make arm-wrestling easier ?

They need to patch the first game to increase the plough rate tenfold.

Arm-wrestling is ridiculously easy as is, using a mouse at least. I can max bet and win every time with hardly any effort.

woober · May 20, 2011

I know its been said, but DAMN this is the most well made forest in any game. It feels like you can truly get lost in it. They did a great job with the terrain.

Wouldn't be surprised if it does, since cdprojeckt is really detailed and anal about those stuffs.

Not reading your spoilered text but thanks. I just have a strange hunch about the way that whole thing went down. I wasnt sure if I made the right call there but it kinda felt like I did afterwards.

SerArthurDayne · May 20, 2011

So, the DLC system for this game is a total disaster. Troll Trouble didn't work, nor did my Roche or Swordsman Jackets, despite all three having green checks. Anybody have any clue what to do? I'd like to get Troll Trouble before I advance Chapter 1, obviously.

I can't unactivate or remove and reinstall- there is no option. Should I just delete the actual files and see if it will let me redownload/reinstall? Any other helpful hints out there?

scorpscarx · May 20, 2011

Just wait on the dlc, they're supposed to be fixing the whole system according to the live chat comments from mods/devs on their site.

They had this post about DLC yesterday:

Troll Trouble in Trouble
May 20, 2011, 12:53 a.m.

We are currently experiencing problems with the Troll Trouble DLC. We are working on a solution for this problem. Good news is that the solution to this problem should solve all recent problems with the DLC. The bad news is that there is the problem.

UPDATE 1:57 AM CET: We've returned to the old way of serving the DLC but this doesn't mean that it solves everything. Most of you will be able to download the DLC. Some of you probably won't. We know what's the problem - it resolves around the DLC CRC being cached but can't do much about it at this very moment. This issue is very important for us as we understand how you feel. We will try to address this issue with a support software in the mean time and this problem should be solved finally with the incoming Patch1 - early next week.

Well, you can always save it for your second run (yes I know... not the point).

L0st Id3ntity · May 20, 2011

I started playing day 1 minute 1 for about 4 hours a day, and I'm still in Flotsam. It's just so beautiful to look at, a rainy night is the best looking shit I've ever seen.

The game itself is great to play, but combined with the visuals (which are the best ever imo) it's something else.

Well back to running around looking at random stuff.

I've been doing the same, though I'm around the 25 hour mark and still in Flotsam. To put it mildly, I'm quite taken with that forest and the plough-filled womanizing settlement.

Deadly · May 20, 2011

Is there a limited number of mutagens you can apply?

WEGGLES · May 20, 2011

I'm sure this has been asked 1000000 times, but in the prologue with the dragon. How do you go between the 2 wooden buildings with out being set on fire. I can't figure out what they want from me.

(also: is this game this difficult the entire time? I'm having a load of trouble on the prologue)

The forest still amazes me. It doesn't even feel like it was made by a level designer. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

Look out of the structure and wait for the dragon to swoop under the bridge. Then make a run for it!

Vendor in building outside of city gates, female, has what you're looking for. Talk to Triss first though.
