Where can I find the mysterious merchant dude that was DLC in chapter one?

At the end of my Iorveth playthrough, Geralt asked Triss about what happened with Roche during the shit fight going on while he fought the Dragon. Roche was there, and apparently offered a job as bodyguard by Henselt, but told him to go get fucked or something, iirc. Roche was definitely not dead.

So I just finished the game on Roche's path. To those of you that didn't like the ending...what part of made you not like it? Personally I thought the ending wasn't as good as Witcher 1's but the ending here gave closure and served to the bridge into Witcher 3.

So blocking doesn't use vigor now, pretty useful. Means quen is less of a necessity and aard and igni can be used more effectively during swordplay.
Not seeing the improved responsiveness though, the bomb/lock glitch is still there.

Done. Roche's path on Hard/Alchemy build. Spared
+ All things considered, it's the best looking game ever.
+ Story branches.
+ Combat was great, I used a lot of bombs and traps, and had no issues with swords as some did.
+ Most side quests relate to main story.
+ The world is incredibly detailed (thus relatively small).
+ Music is almost on par with TW1.
- Inventory.
- Mini-games are bad especially dice, at least fist fighting is visually satisfying.
- I wanted x10 more content
.
Definitely GOTY so far.
I liked the ending, don't know what some of you were expecting after all of THAT.
I will save my Iorveth play through until the game is patched more.

Checked again, you get 2 blocks out of one vigor point. Each block doesn't take off half a point so you are free to use a sign to deplete the point as usual.
Not entirely sure how it works actually.

Fuck these patches! I was in the middle of writing an (amateur, NeoGAF) review! This changes a lot it seems. (I know, not a big deal.)
EDIT: Edge is no better than Eurogamer or EGM, you can quote me on that.
EDIT: I can't find the "stealth" song in the OST. Am I missing it? If not, are there enough songs missing that I should go look for a game rip?

So I realized this game coming out for 360 this year has probably cost it "PC Game of the Year" from the Giant Bomb guys. Not like it is going to get near top 3 overall(Jeff and Ryan already hate the combat lol). Would have been an easy win otherwise. (I wonder how many other sites give that advantage to exclusives?)

The Edge reviewer really didn't like Geralt. It was like he let that one caveat tarnish his opinion of the game.
Edge inexplicably lets certain things slide with some games and ranks them high and on other occasions slams games for exceedingly petty reasons ignoring things that they do well.

Edge, like any review outlet, should always be taken with a grain of salt. I never looked at them as the defacto reviewing spot.Nezabyte said:

The Last Wish is really good so far. I found out why they call Geralt The Butcher of Blaviken!
I understand that CDPR did the best they could trying to carry the moral connundrums from the stories but something feels missing. The conclusions to each story in the book are incredibly satisfying in novel form, that feeling is lost when you can finish a quest in the game and immediately start another one without a break in action (or maybe I should space out my gaming). Plus the investigation aspect doesn't seem as fleshed out. Not a dig at the quests in the games, some are fucking great, Little Sisters for example. I dunno, it's pretty cool experiencing the same thing in two competely different mediums. No mention of that trick Yennefer so far and I'm halfway through.
On a related note, book Geralt is boss as fuck

Reviews used to be high standard back in the good ole EGM days but as of the last 6-8 years, they matter less and less but people still want to hold them high. Of course it's great when a game reviews well but there are many games which get panned but are praised by the gamers.

The Witcher 2 is a big game and one's opinion of it may vary depending on which path he took and did he understand combat mechanics well enough. Some monsters require a very formulaic approach, many reviewers just don't bother with it, because they have no time.
Finished my first playthrough, Roche's path. I'm guessing most complaints about anti-climactic ending come from the Iorveth's path, I found Roche's ending quite complete and satisfying. Hell, I loved how
. What other game lets you do this?
Starting second playthrough now, this time with magic build on Iorveth's path.
I DIDN'T save the kingdom, DIDN'T save the king or king's daughter and DIDN'T even kill "The Bad Guys", since it was pointless with all the damage already done

What? Well sure I guess if you are looking to have some giant impact in an epic story I guess.Yurt said:
If you pick Triss it ends up being "You guys just keep doing whatever it is you are doing, killing each other or what not. I am outa here, got more important things to take care of."

Going with Roche in the Roche path still ends the same way ultimately, but provides a lot more closure.
Roche offed Henselt and Dethmold, Geralt clears his name as a Kingslayer owing to the Nilfgaardian emissary capturing Letho, the lodge of sorceresses is utterly fucked over and Radovid can be double-crossed by Roche too. Just about every major player in the Roche-side story is accounted for. The only drawback is that Geralt is not provided with as much information on the inner workings of the lodge.
No Van Buren don't tell them 
Guys it's a simple reload at the end just do it. Yes going with Triss is the neutral choice. Just like TW1. IMO I don't think it tops what happens with Roche or Iorveth.
No and yes, it's better to be vague you'll understand later on don't worry.

Going with Triss
dooms everyone who you sided with up until that point. Seems like a dick move especially considering Letho saves Triss if you decide to help out your ally.
The closest thing the game has to a happy ending is freeing Saskia through Iorveth's path
