So, it's similar to a second book in a fantasy series then ? Where the initial conflict is resolved, only for the scope to be revealed to be much than anticipated, with various parties vying for power ? I'd love for that to be the case, since I always felt the Lodge of Sorceresses, Nilfgaard and the other Northern Kingdoms were nearly absent in the first game.

Of course. I've been entirely monogamous with Triss so far, but not because I choose to be. I'm in chapter 2 and there are definitely a couple ladies that I think I can shack up with, though.
I miss the days of trading a loaf of bread or a couple of roses for sex.
Van Buren said:
Not really.
One faction is behind all the slayings and is moving an army to take the headless kingdoms of the north. The lodge is in disarray and you get a ton of exposition from one character to explain the motives. Note: I sided with the spec ops guy, the elf would have a different ending.

I can't even imagine this game on Hard, I'm still on Easy. Though I tend to forget I can block.

Best line of the game!

That peasant woman in Vizima Outskirts is still the funniest hook-up.
"Sometimes gentlemen would give me flowers!"
"I have some flowers here, I romantically looted them from the corpse of a dead merchant down the road."
"OH GERALT!"

Not sure to be honest.
Whenever I tried to talk to him he said that phrase or something along the lines of: "Oh no I won't speak to the mutant!"
Perhaps he's somehow related to the other merchant that pays you to kill the chapter 1 boss.
The graphics and world are extremely rich. Like a cake with too much icing. The load times aren't there to break the immersion and the cut-scenes are amazing without the need of CG to further preserve immersion. This engine is something else.
Shame about the rampant spelling and grammar mistakes in the journal.

Oh you used a guide to base your argument of tactics instead of experience and reasoning. This makes more sense.

FYI, it's the tattoo you got after getting drunk with Vernon Roche's special force soldiers.
I can't find the ingredients needed for the spell that removes the tattoo.
Talk to the Witch-lady outside of Floatsam, she sells all the herbs you need
Also, man. The fact that I got this game for 44.99 over Steam really just embarrasses the $60 console game paradigm. It's a 30 hour game that looks infinitely better than any console game and came with a soundtrack, guide, map, videos, papercraft for 44.99. Meanwhile in consoleville... 6 hour game for $60 with little to no replay value and a framerate that hovers around 20fps.
God PC gaming is amazing.

Derp, wrong again. That's what I used the very first time I fought wraiths. I happened to be reading the notes for an unrelated quest in chapter 2 because I sold a book which I shouldn't have, and it mentioned that Yrden was a great way of dealing with wraiths. Which I'd already worked out because it was common-sense.
Anyway this has been loads of fun, but it reached "can superman outrun the flash?" levels of childishness a while ago so I might just leave it there if it's all the same to you.

It's too late now, i'm in Chapter 2.
Hrm
The one ingredient I could never find was the stupid green mold so I had to keep the tattoo for the entire game.
Perhaps another vendor is selling it in Chapter 2.

HixxSAFC said:This is (apart from the menu system being an unreliable POS) my big problem with the game. The repeated dialogue is horrendous. The worst HAS to be:
'Get Iorveth! Death to the Squirrels!' in that shrill kids voice, though
You should watch the giantbomb quicklook on The Witcher 2. "PLOUGH 'EM ALL!"
