I don't think you're considered a person if you have that opinion. Playing through with Iorveth right now, but I guess I'll have to download a Roche save since I can't find mine :(.

I've been enjoying rereading the quest log of TW2--it is very good. Also the soundtrack is pretty great (although I think I may like the first one more).

God, I want this loving game to come out now.

Is there any save editor or something so I can check what choices I made in my primary save? I don't remember what I did in that very last choice.

So anyone got any saves to share? I lost mine long ago. I would prefer a save with the Blue strips tattoo pleaseee.

I have a Roche and a Iorveth save, both with the tattoo
Roche:
- made Aryan surrender
- let Roche kill Henselt
- saved Triss
- let Letho go

Iorveth:
- killed Aryan
- killed Stennis
- saved Saskia
- killed Letho (but I do have a quicksave just before the final confrontation so you could choose to not kill him)

I just realized I hosed the North up completely in both saves :v:

You can also check the save game files section on the front page, though I'm unaware of any save game editor.

I just checked, and the dude with the 16 saves said none of them have the tattoo.

You are required to remove the tatoo in order to meet the White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of his Enemies, otherwise a scaffold with Geralt name on it will be prepared by the Nilfgaardians (game over)

There is a descision picker, it's optional though and doesn't include all the possible options. Pretty sure the tattoo is not included in the picker since I've never seen it (but I've been told it is in the game, but only from a save).

I assume it only has the major choices; Did you side with R or I, did you kill L or not? If you can say, does it include anything from Witcher 1, or just 2?

Comte, can you say anything about the UI and the save system? These were two worst things in W2 for me. Most of the text didn't scale with the resolution and it was tiny at 1080p, the inventory was just bad and there were no save slots so each time I ran the game I spent few minutes just deleting the old saves.

This is my old save. It's actually saved before the Letho fight. My Dark Mode save is just threw Stennis to the peasants. He didn't make five steps before he got bludgeoned to death. It was glorious.

There is a button on there that says "Oil weapon" so I assume it'll be;

Open Menu > Select Oil > Select Weapon > Go

Presumably you will be able to put oils on a quick item slot so if you only wanted to use 1-3 different types of oils it should be quick to use them.

I never actually got around to killing Stennis. I was very tempted to but considering how hosed the north is from losing two monarchs, I decided that it might not be in its best interest to lose a third.

The north is going to get rolled no matter how many kings are currently decomposing at the time of invasion, so I say stab everyone who pisses you off and let that world's dead God sort them out.

You actually don't need to even select a weapon, I'm pretty sure, since most of the oils are creature-type specific they only apply to the sword that works on that creature type. Necrophage oil, for example, only goes on your silver sword since the steel sword doesn't work on them. (Doesn't work well.)

That's one way to think of things. My version of Elf-Lover Geralt doesn't share that view.

rear end in a top hat Geralt, however, does. Everybody is going to loving die and Anais is going to Redania!

I have fairly autistic/completionist playthroughs of both Iorveth and Roche's path. I believe only the Iorveth one has the tattoo. I can check if some Goons wanted to use my save files instead of that dude on the CDPR forums just for the tattoo.

Iorveth:
-Saved Aryan
-Saved Stennis
-Saskia still bound to dagger or whatever but not dead
-Saved Triss and went murdertown on all the Nilfgaardians
-Sile alive
-Letho alive
-Little sidequest in Epilogue to save Iorveth completed
-Tattoo not removed
-Trolls not murdered

Literally every sidequest/other thing done in a neutral/good/not-an-rear end in a top hat manner. It was a Dark playthrough and I think I have all the dark equipment, or maybe just the last set. I'd have to double check.
