So is the Witcher 1 worth playing after 2? I have 1 already, I just never got into it. I know it plays differently, but does the game share the same structure(each chapter = 1 area with some main quests and side quests)? Is it easy to get into?

Similar structure yes, it's split into about 5 chapters each focusing on its own area, with main quests and side quests in each chapter. Not as easy to get into as the second game, it's a bit dated now and sort of janky. But at its core it's a great RPG, and if you're into the Witcher universe/lore/story it's worth checking out.

[lastplayed]

That fucking kayran. Didn't take me as long this time around, but fuck that kayran.

[SerArthurDayne]

So trying to get the four ingredients for the ban ard quest in act 3 and for some reason I can't get the nekker blood from the cave to show up in the inventory.....anybody beat this glitch?

Sure its warrior blood?

[Sobriquet]

360 edition, anyone have nausea/dizzyness issues due to the closeness/jitteryness of the camera? This never happens to me not even Kane and Lynch 2. Frustrated I want to play but ten min makes me close to vomiting.

Oh, damn. I guess I won't be able to play this. Anyone else having the same problem?

[Semblance]

Iorveth side ch. 2 spoilers: I let the mob have Stennis, because he's a cunt, and dayum. They beat him into a pulp. Then Geralt, ever so casually, leans over and scoops some of Stennis' blood into a vial, then walks off like nothing happened. Kinda made me chuckle.

I'm really impressed with this side of the game, gotta say. Still miss Roche, and Vergen itself is a damn mess, but yeah.

[Zeliard]

Excuse me but Vergen has this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4nxjj8yL3o

1:55 is the point where your argument becomes invalid.

[Semblance]

Which is a great song, yeah. I don't see what that has to do with Vergen's bizarre layout though!

[dreamfall]

I just finished Act 2- it was absolutely stellar. A M A Z I N G!

Team Roche, forever.

I can't believe Henselt- that fucker! After lifting that curse, and protecting him by killing two Witchers from our past, he betrays Roche & rapes Ves. That vile, cruel, piece of shit! You better believe I let Roche have the final stab. We left no prisoners! Onward!

[Zeliard]

Saying that Vergen has a bizarre layout is bizarre. Sounds like Roche-influenced dh'oine prejudice to me.

stick with Roche until the end to get the ultimate satisfaction.

I'm currently playing the first Witcher now, in preparation for my first full and proper playthrough of the Witcher 2 EE and I'm loving it.

What's clear is that it is undoubtedly the same world we find in the second game. The same war-torn land ravaged by plagues and corrupt kings and freedom-fighting elves. The connections are there, many of the same characters are there. And for a game releasedi n 2007, the graphics are very nicely done and the world has the same level of attention to detail and the same murky moral choices. the same unflinching level of sex and violence too.

I'd definitely recommed a playthrough for Witcher fans. It's a big, meaty game as well. Must have spent a good 10 hours just on the prologue and the first chapter alone, if not more.

[2AdEPT]

Sure its warrior blood?

yeah sorry problem solved as I just missed that my harpy eggs vanished while doing alchemy for hanged man's venom....thought for sure it was nekker blood but no I had 30....they just didn't show up in the ingredients menu where I thought they should be. [dolt] had to redo the whole lilies, scribe, adn crown witness shit just to prevent farming harpies for hours...will take longer to redo everything, but at least more interesting and usually fidn something I missed....got the werewolf tropy by going back for crown witness thi time when missed it last..

[a secret-boss]

finally finished it really enjoyed the story. Geralt's history and the Wild Hunt.

I was gun-ho for the final battle (potions, oil, and strong swords) and then went with the anti-climactic ending I just find it reasonable after everything was said

Iorveth choices

Saskia and Triss r safe
Phillippa and Sile r safe
Aryan got out of that burning castle
Letho walked away

I'm a nice witcher (got the sensitive guy achievement)



time to play the other side now

[SamVimes]

To all the people planning to play The Witcher 1, remember that the first act is the worst but it gets really better after that.

[Berto]

I'm really enjoying Iorveth path, even more than Roche. Some awesome side quests.

[Apostate]

Started it a while ago. Just killed the barghests outside of the inn, so far I like it.

[Ciastek3214]

New poll. Which of the Witcher 2 women would you take with you to a deserted island. You can vote for Saskia of course.

Oh god, i laughed so hard at a World Cup reference yesterday.

minor act 1 side quest spoiler

I did the fight club quest, and threw the fight. Dandelion comes up to me and says.
How could you lose? Even the mini Kayran predicted you to win with his mini tentacles.

[Infinite_Daremo]

Completed the game again. Still didnt reach level 35. 200 xp off. I did every single side quest too. What the hell am i missing here? Is it possible to grind?

lol, I won so I missed it.

[nluckett]

So, Im a bit stuck and I need a little help. Im in Flotsam and about to go fight the Kayran, but I think I might have a bug. Or just be an idiot.


I have the option now to either go fight the Kayran myself or find Sile... but I cant find Sile. I figure it's better to go fight with her at my side than by myself. I have the quest selected on the quest screen, but it just leads me to the Inn and all I can do there is talk to Triss, talk to whores, do the fighting mini-game... but Sile is nowhere to be found there. Maybe Im just missing where she is supposed to be. Anyone know?

yes, I had the same problem. Go to the second floor of the inn and open the last door.

[Solo]

Sile is waiting upstairs for you to plough her with your trouser kayran.

[Hammer24]

yes, I had the same problem. Go to the second floor of the inn and open the last door.

I searched HOURS how to get there - the steps are outside, there is no way to reach the second floor from inside the Inn.

[Sunflower]

Sile is waiting upstairs for you to plough her with your trouser kayran.

No she wasn't. Someday I will! I promise you this Sile!

[gdt]

Just did the Succubus quest.

Such a weird boner.

[RedSwirl]

When you patch to EE through the launcher, can the upgrade be resumed if interrupted?

[ced]

Finished it last night on the Iorveth path.

Really awesome game, it does have its annoyances though. I hope we see the consoles get 3 day one. This was one of the few games that I actually read all the lore and listened to all the conversations. I usually just skip through all the RPG BS conversations, the characters in these games are great.

Disappointed I couldn't poke Saskia, made so many sacrifices for nothing.

[LongMuckDong]

Hmmm, my Envy 15 might struggle with putting Witcher 2 (PC) up in 1080p... Am about to kick off a Witcher EE (PC) then Witcher II adventure - might shoot for the safer bet with the Xbox version, it looks A LOT better than I expected it to look.

Kudos CDPR!

[Infinite_Daremo]

Obviously yes.

Where though? Do monsters respawn after X amount of time? I dont think i waited once in the game.

Chapter 1 - Nekkers and Endregas didnt respawn
Chapter 2 - Only harpies seemed to respawn but that was quest related
Chapter 3 - Nothing much to kill here

In chapter 1 do monsters stop spawning once the notice board quests are finished?

[RedSwirl]

Also, the launcher stopped asking to update the game. How do I get it to auto-update again?

Chapter 1 - I think the Nekker cave for a certain side quest Melani (sp?) respawns
Chapter 2 - the harpies will respawn if you don't set the traps. Start at the cabin at night and work your way to the bottom. Run back up and meditate to Midnight, rinse/repeat. I'm currently farming this one myself.
Chapter 3 - I've heard to make backup save before completing the Gargoyle hunt quest just in case you don't make it to 35 by the end. Haven't gotten that far yet to check for myself though.

[DeathGlobe]

Monsters do respawn I and currently farming nekker in both caves in chapter 1

[Perkel]

Undead respawn near Hanselt camp even if you burn boddies.

There is a Troll who respawn near hanselt camp.

BTW i love trolls in Witcher 2. Damn awasome quests with them too.

Best quest for me was helping triss in Act3.

[IblisGinjo]

Also, the launcher stopped asking to update the game. How do I get it to auto-update again?

Try uninstalling/reinstalling, if possible. I think there were some posts back that had this problem.

[SoulClap]

Does anyone know the name of the song playing when you're sneaking around during the indecent proposal quest in act 1? That and 'A Quiet Corner' are my favorite songs in the OST.

[Grisby]

Wait, you get xp from killing enemies? I thought I didn't see the bar move.

Also, CH2 question: I found a troll who attacked me near the front end of Henselt's area. I ran but when I went back later he was gone. Does he throw out a quest or anything?

[Ciastek3214]

Shadows and Conspiracies, it's in the OST from GOG.

Also, destroy the straw dummies. Once you kill 10 of them, you get a 10% XP bonus. 5 to start the game, and then you can kill 6 as soon as you get to Flotsam.

[macfoshizzle]

it always makes me chuckle when you're saying i'm the fucking witcher, lets get it on and get your ass kicked aftwards.

[Ciastek3214]

After that, CDProjekt is free to make different games.

But I don't want The Witcher series to end, neither do thousands of fans.

[burgerdog]

Amazon has the game @$45 for 360.

[macfoshizzle]

i'm so glad this game has a storage to put your shit instead of forcing to sell it.

i just changed my hair style! didn't know i could do that

[Hero_of_the_Day]

But I don't want The Witcher series to end, neither do thousands of fans.

Yeah, but it'd be shitty for them to just be stuck making Witcher games until the end of time. Two felt like it was building towards a conclusion. I mean, if he finds Yennefer and solves the mystery of the wild hunt, where else is there to go story wise, outside of just starting over with a whole new plot? Obviously with the basic setup of the main character being a traveling monster hunter, it'd be pretty fucking easy to just keep the series going forever. Just not sure that's what I would want, story wise.

If you're on PC, that's something they added with one of the earlier patches I believe. So if you played it around launch, it may not have been there.

I believe you can outlevel monsters, at which point you'll stop getting XP from them. Not completely sure, but that's what it seemed like to me. So, by the end of chapter 1 nekkers weren't giving me XP any more, because they were beneath me.

Don't remember running into your tagged question, so I can't help you there.

Hey, as long as they keep up with the quality writing, I'm all up for it.

[Darklord]

I still can't get it to install. Keep getting at error at "bumpers_NA.usm". Can't find the part to replace either ffs.

[Xander51]

Also, destroy the straw dummies. Once you kill 10 of them, you get a 10% XP bonus. 5 to start the game, and then you can kill 6 as soon as you get to Flotsam.

Craaaaaaaaaap. Maybe I should start the game again.

[Chinner]

i'm happy to keep buying witcher games as long as it makes sense and as long as they're quality games.

i don't mind if spend 5 years or so branching out into a different i.p.
