Do you have the notes? They tell you exactly what to do.
Saw this online. Related to the potential console port, I thought it was pretty funny.

Just finished this. What a game.
Chapter 3 wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't stack up to chapters 1 & 2 in the sense that it was so damn short. But still, it was some heavy shit and I made some major decisions and saw the consequences of those I made before.
Fuck, this game was good. Most of my complaints are minor. I would have liked to be able to tweak graphics and the controls without quitting the game, kind of silly I had to use the launcher for that. There were some minor interface issues, like how you had to re-engage an NPC to go from crafting to selling or to play Dice again. Or how you couldn't compare your items to those that a merchant was selling. There were lots of smaller things that could have been improved, but nothing big enough to detract from the experience.
The combat, for the most part, kicked ass. Typically combat in an action RPG is an after thought, either mindless filler or some half baked idea that you have to tolerate for the whole game. This was not the case in TW2. It seemed difficult at first, but really, it just forced me to think beyond my blades and use all of the signs, traps, and bombs I had. I had some issues with the unreliable targeting and the sometimes unbalanced scenarios but overall it was a positive, which is damn near unprecedented for an action RPG.
The story, which I'll post about in the spoiler thread, was fucking great. I'm so used to by the numbers Bioware drek, but the sometimes hilarious and always quality dialog and the choices were fantastic. The choices actually had an impact, and they were seriously tough at times, no petty color coded bullshit. And it's probably the most quotable game I've played, the dialog/story writer deserves a lot of praise.
Aside from a few niggling issues and the rushed final chapter, it is an incredible game. Without a doubt, one of the best I've played. I just hope that CDPR will release a bonus expansion chapter that ties up all the loose ends that I've been left with.

True, but if he really doesnt want to build his own, that Best Buy deal would result in a good machine to run the game IF he was willing to buy a better graphics card and pop it in.
One thing about this he should keep in mind, though: DO NOT buy a graphics card from Best Buy, you will get hugely ripped off and the card you get is likely to be old.
If he is willing to Spend $100, he could get a Radeon 6770 (or 5770--same card different name) to put in it and it would run Witcher 2 pretty great with that processor and RAM. Not highest settings, but very good medium settings and at a good frame rate. It would also be upgradable later by simply adding a second 6770 for Crossfire.
If he were willing to spend around $150, he could throw a Radeon 6850 in there, it would probably run it at almost maxed specs sans uber sampling at a solid framerate (I know this because I have a quad core with a 6870, the 6750's big brother, and I run almost everything turned all the way up at a pretty constant 55-60 frames per second. This too would be upgradable to a second card later to make a very, very powerful machine.
These are New Egg prices of course. Best Buy would add at least a hundred bucks to either card.

Is there another harpy nest area in Chapter 2 that I'm unaware of? I've destroyed 4 nests thus far at the quarry, but now the harpies are refusing to pick the traps up. What gives?
Also, my Geralt has been with the Lady of the Lake, vampires, The Queen of the Night, and now
. Sweet.

YOU FUCKING FUCK.
THAAAAAT'S RIGHT.
FUCKING DR. DOOM WANNABE.
Took fucking forever, then I tried cheesing him from the stairs before the dialogue comes up, it worked but it didn't fucking matter since the dialogue scene RE-SPAWNS him. But I was victorious!
And rewarded twice.

Heh, I was going crazy wondering why the hell they weren't picking the traps up anymore. Thanks!_Xenon_ said:
Yep, she's a tricky one. Have to say certain things to her, and IIRC, continue the conversation later in the game in order to do the deed.jim-jam bongs said:
Also, is a 1080p shot of the inventory really necessary? lol

True, but just think about those stinky fish lips and those dead eyes right in your face. At least the sexy top half could give you a tug while looking pretty.
something to think about, I guess

I need a Dandelion song about this STAT
although your lips smell fishy
those long legs wrapped around me are pretty
so I look into your blank eyes, and part of me dies

Favorite voices:
1. the guy who trolls Geralt by yelling for help everytime you go near him (Flotsam)
2. The woman who just screams in shock when you go near her (Flotsam)
3. "Did you say something? Or did you just fart?"
4. Cockblocker at the start of the prologue
5. Letho, alternates between Ron Perlman and some guy from Ireland
6. Roche, badass voice

Well, just beat the game (Iorveth path). Put in 33 hours and didn't do all the quests. Last city was pretty rushed, but there were a ton of set pieces that nearly made up for it.
The story was really outstanding. I was actually really surprised with all the double/triple crosses in the game. Really liked how everyone was angling for something.

Yeah I got stuck on the Nekker quest because the guide says to use Beehive bombs. Which no one sells. Eventually I made some grapeshot bombs and I worked it out.jim-jam bongs said:
