Chapter 3 was in the city. 4 is in the outskirts with 5 being a short stint in the city. But yeah I love Dandelion.

I like the Witcher 2 better than the Witcher 1 overall, but chapter 4 of the first game is among my favorite game segments period.

If I remember correctly, in an interview CDProjekt said they actually asked female employees how they could make Geralt more attractive, and they near unanimously said "Beard."

There's a reason why the NHL Playoffs draw a higher female viewership.* Playoff beards *This entirely made up but must be true, because beards.

In one of the books Geralt states that he hates beards because they irritate his skin.

He's clearly using his beard to fuel his rage thus making him a more effective combatant.

So having finished the game, what is the difference between rescuing Triss on Roche's path versus Iorveth's path? Overall I liked Iorveth's path though as others have pointed out, you don't get the whole story from either path.

So, I'm going to replay this game (first time was non-EE, normal mode). I'm thinking of going through it with the FCR 2 mod and on dark mode. Since apparently dark mode is really hard and I'd like to explore more of Geralt's skills, I'm thinking of adding the two talents per level mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/mods/681/). Anybody know if this is a good idea? Will it break the EE + FCR 2 edition? Any other advice? Kalenden fucked around with this message at 14:26 on May 31, 2014 |

I don't actually think FCR is that good. It's got a lot of good ideas and some improvements that are really good, but on the whole I don't think that it meshes well with the overall game. For example, FCR changes how you regenerate health, so you don't really heal unless you have a potion. But in the prologue you can't drink potions until the third or fourth fight, so if you get injured before that you are hosed. It also changes blocking/quen in ways that make sense from a paper-design perspective but are actually cumbersome and obnoxious when applied to the W2 UI. The author works down the hall from me, so shhhh.

I keep crashing to desktop. It's right after I re-spec with the Operator. I go through the portal and about 30 seconds later the game crashes. Any ideas what could be wrong? Using Gog version Windows 7 64 bit

The usual first suggestion is to delete all your old autosaves. The game engine starts to get slow and unstable if you have a large number of save files; this is made worse by the way the game doesn't overwrite autosave files.

But in the prologue you can't drink potions until the third or fourth fight, so if you get injured before that you are hosed. I don't remember that being true. You can mix up some potions and take them immediately after the first fight of the prologue, right after you get off the siege tower. I went into the second fight (the ballista) after drinking 3-4. As for blocking, I found it worked a hell of a lot better in FCR. You only need to hit the button to block heavy or monster attacks. Otherwise you can just keep your guard up and strafe around enemies. One thing it DOES require is that you use the Walk button, which stops you from turning your back on an enemy.

Comte, please lobby against the excessive sharpening in The Witcher 3 inside the offices, it's the only part of the game's visual presentation I don't like. Thank you very much.

Additionally, Polish is considered so difficult that the locals don't mind that much if you never learn it. EDIT: The company offers free lessons too, and there are a lot of expats here who are also learning.
