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.

Sure its warrior blood?
Oh, damn. I guess I won't be able to play this. Anyone else having the same problem?
Iorveth side ch. 2 spoilers:
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.
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.

Excuse me but Vergen has this:

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

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

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?
Obviously yes.
lol, I won so I missed it.
So, Im a bit stuck and I need a little help. Im in Flotsam and about to go fight the
, but I think I might have a bug. Or just be an idiot.
Kayran
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.
I searched HOURS how to get there - the steps are outside, there is no way to reach the second floor from inside the Inn.

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

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.

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?

Chapter 1 - I think the Nekker cave for a certain side quest
Melani (sp?)
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

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

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

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.

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?
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.
