Very important question:
Does Triss react in anyway shape or form if Geralt ploughs someone else?

Does Triss react in anyway shape or form if Geralt ploughs someone else?
ENDING SPOILERS
I beat the game, Roche path, and went to rescue Triss at the end. Ploughed Ves but also promised Triss during the Rose of Rembrance Quest that I wanted to settle down with her or whatever. Anyway, during the rescue scenes Geralt mentions being close to Triss and calls her a friend but that's it. Wondering if it plays out differently if the rendezvous with Ves didn't happen.

Spoilers for the entire game -
Nope, Geralt never discloses his ploughing activities to Triss, and there is no way for her to know about his time spent with Ves and the ladies of the night. Given his numerous exploits over the two games, it seems that ploughing random women when his lover is missing is a sensible course of option for him. He faces moral dilemmas over many other decisions, but funnily enough, not a single moment of introspection when it comes to ploughing.

The introspection is left up to the player. For example,
if Geralt declines Ves, he does so by saying something along the lines of him being occupied by other things, to which Ves asks whether he's referring to his work or Triss, and he will say it's both.
On a different note, does anyone happen to have a savefile from The Witcher where Geralt
sided with the Scoia'tael and romanced/entrusted Alvin to Shani
Just finished Witcher 1 and imported my save into W2. Really cool that my Raven armor and swords carried over, but hilarious that they are barely better than the 'rusty' equipment I start with. Hell just finding a cruddy Temerian sword in the Prologue was better than than badass sword the King gifted me in the last game.
Playing on Hard and having zero problems with the Prologue. It does require a bit of kiting and group separation, but no big problems at all so far. I agree that blocking/Vigor system is awkward(especially since rolling has no limitations), but whatever.
Gorgeous thus far. Love that this game starts merely a month after the first. I can't imagine newcomers getting a good bearing on the narrative or events without knowledge of the first, but I am glad to have forced myself to finish W1 first.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
New armor + gloves! God I love the small details on every single piece of equipment... simply amazing! My character is definitely more "ompf" right now~

The best part is that the unparalleled texture detail is fully made use of by the convincing armor and weapon aesthetics. The swords in the game are a thing of beauty, and I like the armor designs which seem to carry a book. Everything just feels grounded in reality; it's refreshing after the outlandish/bland Dragon Age weapon and armor designs, for a recent comparison.

For future reference with regards to spoilers it's [ spoiler] xxxxx [ /spoiler] without the spaces in front.
Anyway, I would recommend picking up some sidequests around Flotsam and explore the surrounding areas. Loot everything you find and get some formulas for decent bombs / potions, brew some up and away you go.
FJ0372 said:
Do all the side quests since you need all the extra talent points that you can get initially. Regarding Armor, it's a waste to buy anything at that point since that fight will give you the materials needed for a new one. There are at least two side quests related to that fight that make it easier. Do them - helps on hard.
WoW is probably one of the bigger offenders when it comes to wtf armor designs, but then again, it is an mmo. There's no excuse for stuff like the uninspired mage robes one is stuck with in DAO though.Kyaw said:

Compared to Witcher 1, i guess that's quite an achievement lol... i think there was less than 10 different faces for common people and merchants in Witcher 1. It's crazy how many times i saw that fat rich dude and that old poor guy model, they were even used for secondary characters like Levaarden or whatever his name was.

Wouldn't even be possible. CD Projeckt runs GoG as well. They're entrenched in digital distribution/publishing on the PC platform. EA buying CD Projeckt would completely dismantle GoG.

BAN HIM NOW
I do fear for this. It seems like it's only a matter of time before BIG LUMBER stumbles across our secret forest sanctuary. It's a harsh world, man.
We do need TW3 asap, though. It seems that they were banking on a sequel and that they have a lot planned with saves carrying over to the next game, considering all the loose threads. I need it real soon or at least a meaty chapter 4 expansion, although that will have some people accusing them of selling an unfinished game.
