It's a book spoiler. I don't believe they mentioned it in the games, but
All witchers are tasked with giving themselves a title like that to help other people feel a bit more trusting of witchers. I've only read the first book, so I'm not sure if he mentions it in the other english translated one, but I do not remember him saying where he was actually born. Only that he was taken away from his family.
edit: And no, the quest for the operator boss is in the sewers. Hard to miss once you run into it. Not sure of the quest, but you need to do a series of puzzles to get to that boss.

Ahh... Okay... well I'm reading the book at the moment so I might find that out.
I'm concerned about not fighting that optional mini-boss now. Oh well, i'll find it next time I guess.

It is probably for the best. That boss can be a real bitch depending on your spec. Running into it on your second play through will lessen the rage. I would have given up on the boss had I run into it on my first finish just to get on with the story.

During the Little Sisters quest in Chapter 2 you come across the house. Next to the house are some barrels, blow them off with aard and go down. Inside are 3 fires, light them correctly (i think furthest from door then clockwise) to open a secret passage where you find a necromancers scroll. Show it to Dethmold but DON'T sell it to him. Show it to the Ban Ard dude in Chapter 3 then go down to the sewer next to the arm wrestler dude. Say the right words to the Pixie. Go through Portal and light the correct fires (4374 I think?) then go through another Portal. Tell the Operator you were not chosen. Kill Operator who uses Quen and Igni while spawning Gargoyles. Loot dragon scales off him to make the best sword/armour in the game. I'm pretty sure it is sword? The Vran armour comes from the chests in the Gargoyle quest rooms I think?

I have never used a mutagen because I can't work out how :/
The game tool-tips needs to do a better job of telling you which "enhancements" are permanent and which are not all round.

That's where I got mine. I didn't even do the optional fight on my run since I dumbly didn't have the note. Oh well, I'll get it on my second time around.
Incidentally, the fight is not Roche path only. The quest that sends you the area is but you can go there on Iorveth path if you want just to grab it. Plus, you don't have the option of losing it this way.

You have to put points into an ability with a mutagen slot, but you don't know it has a slot until you put the point into it. Then you just click on the ability with the empty slot and mutate it. There doesn't seem to be many abilities with slots.ThoseDeafMutes said:

The diagram for the sword comes from the Little Sisters quest (in the hidden room in the basement) and opens up a new quest specifically for it, right? Im assuming that on Roche or Ioverths path, you can still get to that house on the beach, solve the puzzle, and get the diagram. You probably dont even need to show it to Dethmold....just the Bras of Ban Ard in Act 3. He reads it, gets you the recipe, and offers to make it for you.
Dragon scales can be obtained in 2 places that I found. Kill the Operator and loot his corpse and in a chest in someones room (I think it was Phillipas) in Act 3. Do you need 2 Dragon scales or only one? I cant remember. I thought the scales were only for the Vran Armor and not the sword.

Caerme diagram is from the
Gargoyle Contract quest chests, I believe. That one you do to take to Bras and he decrypts it and says it's an honor to forge it for you.
The document from the Chapter 2 Hut (where Roche Path: Little Sister's Quest takes place) is only used for the Operator fight. Or for a few hundred Oren from Dethmold if you're dumb like me.

Just started trying this out on on, first impresstion, wow is there a lot of motion blur when you move your camera. I'm feeling like I wana try my dualshock 3 with it so im going through motionjoy installation. And yea, love how they dont explain anything about the combat and just through you in there at first :/
Just beat the game... is it true that there are 16 different endings ? I really don't see how that could work given how short the actual ending is.
Awesome game overall, most of the flaws can be fixed by patches, except the fact that there is only
and not a lot of sidequests (at least compared to the first game). But considering that they're apparently making an add-on, I'm okay with this.

Yeah, it just feels right, much like switching suit powers on the fly in Crysis.
I dunno, both control methods work well but having spent a lot of time with both, I think I prefer the KB/M set up. It's nice to have short cuts to the map and abilities screen, the inventory navigation is a touch better and it just feels more responsive in combat. Evading and targeting seems a bit more effective.
^ oh yeah and like Kev said, looting is better, especially since you can grab individual items instead of all of them.
Plus, using the PS3 pad I kept accidentally pressing down the left thumbstick in combat, which sets off the medalion, making Geralt go stationary for a moment which sucks in a tough fight.

There are 4 different endings, each with 4 different states of the world. I'd recommend loading up an earlier save before the final choice in Act 3 to experience another ending relatively quickly. It's pretty great how this single choice in Act 3 can have serious ramifications for the future of the Northern Kingdoms. Regarding the game content though, I'd say Witcher 2 matches the first game in terms of unique content due to the vastly different second playthrough.

My mouse has 10 programmable buttons but some of them are kind of in the way or too close to others that I dont feel comfortable using them. I think Im going to stick with signs on MMB and block on one of the extra buttons.
I never really have issues with Ctrl for radial menu anyways thought I think itd be nicer on the mouse. Block and Signs just feel so right on the mouse
Ahh, I block a lot. My first upgrades on the Witcher path are all the Vigor +%, Vigor + 1, and multi directional parry. I use it far too often.Jerk said:
Its funny how much better I am at the game on my 2nd play through. Some fights that gave me issues my first time around are simple now. Once you grasp the mechanics, it feels so good.
