Nah, I just recently upgraded my PC from Master Race to Übermensch in anticipation for this game and BF3, and I forgot to port my old Witcher saves.Kyaw said:I thought you meant it was a hassle to download the file and putting it in My Documents.
Speaking of which, is there some way to figure out what was imported?
It's been a while since I've played the original and I can barely remember what the fuck I was doing in those saves.
Damn, I just found a huge area in Floatsam's forest which I overlooked on my first walkthrough. There's a bandit's hut but it needsa key. I killed all bandits nearby, but didn't find the key on them. Where it is?
Also the game definitely rocks on hard. I might lower it for bosses but it's a sweet spot for a second walkthrough. I'm doing an alchemist patch and I have to use all my arsenal - magical and crafted - to kill enemies. Sword is like 30% of combat. Red Haze rocks. I enjoy playing off enemies and then stun bithces with Zerrican sun, finish one of them with a finisher and destroy others with sword and magic combo.

I just thought of something. Do they ever explain the assassin from the end of The Witcher? At the end of the game,
Letho mentions that it was just the three of them that were involved for killing the Kings and the whole Foltest plot is unrelated to Sile's. So ... who sent this first Witcher Assassin? Or is it to just be assumed that the Emperor sent a random Witcher to try before hiring Letho?

what specs do you have? I had unplayable framerates at first, but ended up very happy with both quality and framerate on i7 NVidia 460M graphics so you dont have to have super expensive system. I am now happy because I can play smooth at 1080p with only a few options downgraded from "High"

He's either a merchant or a crafter. He's in the village of laboden or however you spell it.

So far it is pretty tough for me. I just spam Quen as much as possible and hack n' slash. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong though...

Acidote said:The Quen part is OK. The hack n' slash is horribly wrong
Yeah, I'm trying to learn. It's pretty tough to time attacks when a group is surrounding me.
Exuro said:Well I'm not sure if you can beat that guy the first time around. Other than that though, all of them are easy.
Did anyone else laugh out loud at what Geralt says whenyou choose dandelion to go into the Succubus' lair?
You mean I can beat him if I try again ?
And that was probably my favorite moment in the game lol. The dwarves are hilarious too. especially the one with the weird neck.

you buy and use the steroids that his apprentice is supplying him with.
If you went the Roche path like I did you didn't have that quest.Keikoku said:
You miss nearly a 1/3-1/2 of the game on one playthrough with the altered Act 2 and slightly altered act 3 plus side quests you may have missed. If you went with Roche then you didn't go to Vergen for your "quest hub" which includes the Succubus quest. Going with Roche sends you to Henselts camp which has completely different quests. It's pretty cool, sort of MMOish in terms of factions.Keikoku said:What succubus ? Man I feel like I missed a lot of things during my first playthrough. Too bad I have my final exams coming so I won't be able to replay it right now
Who am I kidding, I'm going to restart it now.

roll, parry and USE SIGNS. Use yrden against shielded enemies, use aard and igni against fast ones. Also quen helps, but it's overpowered when upgraded. You'll be able to use bombs in chapter 1. Also don't get yourself surrounded by enemies.

If you
accuse him of juicing, when you arm wrestle him again it will be pitifully easy without taking steroids yourself.

IIRC
you're talking about the part where you stand on the hill and tell Foltest what to do? Check your inventory for the book Dethmold gives you and have him walk the path as drawn in the book.
EDIT: I should mention that I thought the game was bugged a little bit here, as
the book he gives you is a Quest Item, but it wasn't listed under the Quest Item tab. Check under the Book tab for it.

Did you just challenge Numa?Draft said:

Cretinously credulous
Before getting in my first arm wrestling, I read somewhere on the net that it was terribly hard for kb+mouse players. For my first few tries, I did find it like that. The icon (that needs to be kept in the designated space) is weirdly sensitive and sluggish at the same time. It doesnt move initially and then it moves at a breakneck pace. But if one is really slow and patient with it while moving mouse, it becomes really easy. Now I beat each and all without any trouble.
