The Witcher |OT| Damn all dissonances
- Thread starter Bossman
- Start date
Finally done with chapter 2. I seemed to do everything in the investigation right, so it all went well. It seem to take forever, about a dozen hours, but I still enjoyed it. The game is low key compared to some of it's non-stop instant gratification packed contemporaries, but I enjoy the engrossing slow burn of the Witcher. I feel very involved with the story and I actually care about how it'll all play out.
Can't wait to finally get the heck out of the Temple Quarters, so sick of that place. Alright, back to the game. <3
My frame rate is dropping as low as 35 in the Trade Quarter. Normally it's 60+, damn.

At night you can kill pretty much everything that's not highlighted in green text.

Yeah it was pretty neat to find out, but the guy being invincible sucks. Anyways, I'm getting a heck of a lot of lockups in chapter 2...that sucks too!

Looks like someone hasn't played Fallout! I'll definitely sport kill some NPCs now that I know about that.
Same card here. The rest of the game has run beautifully, but something about the Trade Quarter makes my rig chug. Must be all the NPCs. I turned draw distance to average and got an extra 10 fps, but I wasn't into the fog so I went back to everything max. Oh well, I'll just look up when I run around the area.

Finally finished Act 2- didn't quite have the moral conundrum as Act I but the culmination was nevertheless suprising. Anyways just wanted to post an interesting glitch.

That's odd since my CPU is much more capable than my GPU, as far as I know, but I 'spose the game is more to blame than my parts. Whatev, at least it'll prepare me for the Witcher 2 which will probably confine me to 30ish FPS if I'm gonna run it on high.

Witcher only uses a single core, iirc. Yup, a 4% gain for the second core. You need ~4+ GHz on a modern intel CPU (hello sandy bridge) or probably like 5.5GHz on a AMD CPU to max it perfectly.
I don't know whether to hate Steam or the Witcher (its bugs, I fucking love the game all the more as I play). Something keeps getting fucked up, the game crashes, saves won't load, and I have to "verify the game cache" or whatever from Steam every couple of hours. Every time it downloads 1-2 Gb, and every time I'm afraid that it won't load for good. Fuck this shit.
Actually, I'll just hate Steam, can't go wrong with that.
Anyone had a similar problem with this game?

Wow. You are playing through this game fast. Looking back I enjoyed the the Trade Quater a little bit more than the Temple Quarter (damn graphics chug like nobody's business in the Trade Quarter).

Technically I'm playing through it slow since I'm doing all the quests I can before progressing, but I've sunk like 18 hours in the last few days. That's pretty extreme for me, but it hooks me in for several hours at a time, I can't stop until I've finished everything on my plate but The Witcher seems to keep dangling that carrot if you know what i mean.
I feel like I'm doing all the quests, though I did sort of run through the investigation required reading...tmacairjordan87

Yeah I was going to say the same thing earlier. Unfortunately all my saves and autosaves were after I killed the guard since he didn't come after me for quite a while, so I actually had to start the whole game over. Only way to get rid of him is to pay 1000 orens, fuck that.
Shani or Triss, Order or Scoia'Tael... damn game is driving me crazy! First I've ever felt so divided on what choices to make in a game, having the impression that it really will have an impact. Not to mention the role play aspect, being so nicely written. Love it.
I prefer Shani in general but Triss seems like the logical choice for a magical kid, being a sorceress, not to mention that she appears on the trailer of the Witcher 2 and is presented as the default partner. As for the Scoia'Tael, I supported their struggle amidst all that racism, and wouldn't want to side with such christian-crusader like knights, but now they kill innocents and take prisoners. Damn what to do!

Near the end, choosing
neither Order or Scoia'Tael nets you two girls in one card.

I loved that quest, it was a hoot and it ended with a steamy nightcap between me and the lovely Shani. I had no idea you could hire a hooker, that's crazy. I was worried that Dandelion might cockblock me, but he bailed out at just the right time.
I couldn't think of many friends
to seek out...my first choice was the awesome dude, Thaler but there was no option so I just went with the Dwarf, Zoltan or whatever.Snuggler said:I loved that quest, it was a hoot and it ended with a steamy nightcap between me and the lovely Shani.

Yeah it's pretty fun.
Anyway, made it to the Trade Quarter and the framerate turned into complete shit. :|

Everything to do with Shani's grandmother is fucking hilarious.jett said:
Minamu said:You mean Carmen, right? I brought Siegfried, and while Shani started falling for him, he had taken a vow of celibacy, thank the heavens
yeah, I brought Siegfried too. I wish RPGs did more social quests like that. A perfect break.
HEAR THAT BIOWARE? You shouldn't save the world every minute of 50-hour walkthrough.
on the other note there will be a big quest further which is a good example how you could do a horror story in the daylight. It wasn't particularly scary but damn, it gave me goosebumps.

The simple character-interesction driven quests like this one are the best, hands down. Another is when you attend the part with Triss in chapter 3, some funny moments in that one.
Btw,
Are there any repercussions for choosing to smang the princess vs getting the information from her
The mummy? Her reaction to the 'noises' upstairs was funny.

We'll see, since I did the same thing. It probably won't matter, but I also chose to bang
Dandelion's ex who had his lute
I just had to make my decision (early ch. 3) between
Shani and Triss. Tough call, but I went with Shani. I like red heads and I busted ass gathering herbs and stuff for her, so it seemed like the better choice.
I've enjoyed this from the start but chapter 3 has been the best yet, despite the fps issues in the Trade Quarter. There have been quite a few interesting, personal choices like that so far.

After all the shit she gave me when trying to do night time quests at Shani's, kicking me out from bad choices on the dialogue tree etc,Snuggler said:
the marriage quest chain had me getting shitfaced with the bard and the dwarf, full of funny ass dialogue and ending with me stumbling home drunk and this time using the conversation tree to give the old lady a heart attack. I laughed so fucking hard.
Snuggler said:
How do you go about this? I had a feeling that this was in the cards, but she doesn't give me many options... unless you had to do it when he requests for you to fetch it.
Snuggler said:
See,
Triss is in 2, so I figured that a good choice in 1 would carry over to the second, and, besides, she's even redder the red-head, man.
