Simulate Witcher 2 Save - yes or no?

What does it do? I haven't played Witcher 2.

 

[JimPanzer]

Go to sleep early, wake up at 00:00 and play till the morning

naah, not that tired yet it's still bright outside. I would just play when I wake up tomorrow at 6:00 am, but I'm always feel bad playing videogames when the sun is shining outside :/

 

[Furyous]

What's a good way to break the game early? I'm asking because I love feeling overpowered in games. How long will it take for walkthroughs and hunting guides to hit the net?

I'm preordering at 3:45 PM today so I can play the game 15 minutes later. Shout out to my PST gamers.

 

[RedEther]

What a beautiful OT for a beautiful game.

If you pick "Yes" theres a scene in the prologue where you are asked about the things you did in Witcher 2. If you pick "no" then that scene is skipped and it uses developer premade decisions.

 

[Salaadin]

Can't speak for the other poster, but, in my case, because he had the audacity to face Geralt in single combat. That shit'll get you killed, scro.

I killed him because he was an asshole

It allows you to put your W2 decision during an in-game dialog options. Select "no"and the game will just assume default world state.

Edit: Beaten.

I thought it was the other way round when I chose it, picked "no" hoping it'd let me chose my own decisions

Does anyone know what the default world state is?

[Neverforget]

Goddamn, I thought after update steam was letting me play... boy was I disappointed at the end.

 

[m_shortpants]

Whelp, If it helps I

Spoiler

killed him

too and I don't plan to change my decision

Spoiler

- He helped spark a "world war" that is going to claim thousands of lives so that he could get his fancy witcher school back (not to mention the witch-hunts)
- After all we had been through, I felt I owed Roche this one (especially since I stayed his hand with Henselt)
- He killed the man Geralt was tasked to protect and in doing so ruined his name, I felt he had to face the consequences of his actions

No regrets on my part but I know there are valid reasons either way, that's part of what makes The Witcher so engrossing after all

That makes me feel a bit better. This is a difficult decision lol.

Can't speak for the other poster, but, in my case, because he had the audacity to face Geralt in single combat. That shit'll get you killed, scro.

Lol

[Denton]

The OT title change is lame. Whoreson Flayer was damn awesome.

 

[erawsd]

I have no idea.

 

[Deception]

How much longer until this unlocks on GoG?

 

[Chaos17]

The OT title change is lame.

+1

 

[Laurentius]

The OT title change is lame. Whoreson Flayer was damn awesome.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? Is it some dig on that Polygon review or something? It doesn't even make sense, the first two are describing the Geralt, which makes "EVEN RACISM" stick out oddly. Geralt is a Gwent Player, a Monster Slayer, and an Even Racism?

 

[AEREC]

Was Yennefer ever mentioned in the earlier games? Of what I've seen they don't really introduce her in W3, so I'm just wondering if there's some story bit from 1 or 2 that I'm forgetting. The way the opening of W3 treats her, it almost seems like I should know her already, but I don't.

Not that I remember.

 

[realcZk]

How much longer until this unlocks on GoG?

4 hours 45 minutes-ish

 

[Altairre]

Been playing this for two days now and there is absolutely no doubt that his will be my GotY. It really is something special.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Anyone know what the default decisions are?

If you play on consoles or do not have a Witcher 2 save you'll have an interactive sequence letting you choose the events, I think it is mandatory.

"Even racism" was in that gameplay trailer.

But yeah, I liked the old title.

Nah the EVEN RACISM part is from this trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYwe_WHARdc

I've used them countless times in the past with no issue, granted this is my first Preorder with them but I thought it would be fine.

 

[Tovarisc]

+1, title is now little weird as it's 2 parts Geralt references and 1 part trailer references.

 

[matrixman92]

so even if you just do the intro with picking choices, there are still some things you miss out on when not importing a save file?

 

[Laurentius]

Oh, I never saw that trailer.

 

[His Majesty]

so even if you just do the intro with picking choices, there are still some things you miss out on when not importing a save file?

Yes. For example the tattoo from TW2 can carry over.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

So I guess Vesemir is the token dadbod for the ladies right

 

[OCD Guy]

I've really been caught up in the hype for this game

I just hope this isn't me once the pre-load unlocks as it has been for other games...

 

[Leeness]

Oh shiiiit, I managed to sign onto PSN!! I couldn't from going to the store to sign on, but went and tried from the Settings > PSN Network Settings and it signed on!

:O Downloading Witcher!

 

[Kal_El]

Downloaded and ready! My first Witcher game since I was a Playstation 3 gamer. Thanks for the info in the OT. Maybe things wont go over my head as much.

 

[weevles]

The title change threw me a little as I hadn't even remembered that blurb from that trailer.

I'm excited, my game is shipping out soon, hopefully I can start playing before the week ends.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

the new title

to be fair, the woman in the trailer does say it like it's a selling point

 

[PapaEmeritus]

 

[Dictator93]

That title change, LOL

 

[Fjordson]

Hyped for tomorrow.

And yeah, OT title is pretty funny.

 

[Klyka]

Got the game there 20€ cheaper than anywhere else.
Doesn't really matter to me if it unlocks a couple hours earlier or not with that amount of saving

 

[mullet2000]

So, what's all the differences between difficulty levels?

I'm considering playing on Death March difficulty right off the bat, but if it's super frustrating I'll go one lower.

 

[Ibuki]

Does anyone know where I can but the soundtrack for the game? I'm in NA and I'd like a physical copy if possible. I can't seem to order it anywhere.

 

[Sorian]

Title change fail IMO.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Doesnt the soundtrack come with the standard edition?

Purchasing the game at retail gets you a physical CD.

whoreson flayer was amazing, made me lol

 

[Facism]

Not looking forward to the long decrypt on steam
