I'm nearly done with my replay that was SUPPOSED to be everyone possible alive, but I got to Henselt, heard the squeaky hinge line, and couldn't help myself, because gently caress that guy. If that's fine, I could upload it later today when I get around to doing the last quest or two.

Would you be so kind to make another save if you kill Letho with henselt dead in roche path? Pretty pleaseee?? It is just a quick fight!

Eh, sure, why not. Don't see why anyone would specifically want a save with someone dead, since that pretty much just means it will have no impact at all in W3, but it's not too much work to get it.

For those looking for save games to import, someone on the CDProjekt forums has posted all his save files: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/30709-%28SPOILERS%29The-Witcher-2-Save-Game-Files I think he's removed the tattoo in all of them, but you can double-check by loading up a save from the Act III list.

It's interesting because I've been hopping various streams of leaks/watching preview footage, and all the PC ones have said they are playing on "full Ultra".

Half look drop dead loving gorgeous, easily on par with the trailers/early game footage. Those linked screenshots for example look great.

The other half looks about on par with the various console streams, which doesn't look nearly as good. While faces/things upfront look good, there's basically no depth of field, and even basic textures are a real bummer to look at.

I wonder if there's a texture streaming bug in the PC version, or if the day 1 patch includes in a whole bunch of graphic options those people don't have available to them. Or if a whole bunch of people have been lying through their teeth about what they are playing the game on, and the difference between even High/Ultra is severe. Or if it's just another case of "Everyone who owns an AMD card gets hosed, wait two months for us to fix your problems/for AMD to put out new drivers. :smith:"

Anyone know of a good decision tree of important items from Witcher 2? Thinking of playing through it this weekend to build a save for 3 and figure I'll try and make sure I hit all the high points.

-TATTOO PRESENT :siren:
-Scoi'atel Path in TW1 (probably doesn't matter)
-Adda's Curse Lifted in TW1 (probably doesn't matter)
-Aryan Alive
-Iorveth's Path
-Saved girls, Loredo lives (but iirc it's heavily implied he dies later, or runs away into exile?)
-Stennis Alive
-Saskia Alive, but still mind-controlled. Have the quest item dagger (which also means helped keep Iorveth alive when he was on that cart or whatever)
-Saved Triss in Act 3 (all dem Nilfgaardians be dead)
-No Mage blood bath in city afterwards
-Sile Spared
-Letho Spared
-Operator defeated, have his staff
-Completed on Dark, have the dark items (probably doesn't matter)
-Birdman Harpy quest completed (hopefully matters)
-All sidequests completed (it's possible I missed the special armor you get from following the quest you get from the destroyed boat, I can't remember if that was this playthrough or the other one. Probably not important anyway)
-All Trolls spared (I am not a monster, dammit!)

That's all the highlights I can think of. If I failed to mention something important feel free to ask and I can probably remember or load the game up to figure out.

.zip includes two .sav files and their .bmp thumbnails, which I doubt you actually need but threw it in there anyway.

AutoSave_0313.sav is the one you want for import. ManualSave_0312.sav is right outside the door to talk to Letho, so you can load the game up and verify tattoo is there, go through that Letho infodump, or look at inventory/questlog/whatever.

Hope it is of some use to people without save files but who made all the Right Choices. :smug:

Thanks for this, that's my exact save but with the tattoo which I got rid of at some point :argh:

Drifter posted:

I mean, isn't it purely preference? For me, I'll always like it better on kb/m.

What a strange question.

Well, as an example, Dragon Age Inquisition has a pretty bad KB/M UI at launch, so the general recommendation was to use Gamepad instead. Skyrim's launch UI also works a lot better on Gamepad as well, so until SkyUI came out it was likely better to play with Gamepad there also.

That's all I'm asking about. It's something worth questioning in these days of simultaneous PC/Console releases.

Hopefully that one goon who made the save editor for Dragon Age and Mass Effect and rain down a Witcher save editor upon us.

Edit: I've done one playthrough on keyboard and I'm doing another almost done playthrough on pad for witcher 2. I like the pad better.

I had no trouble with DAInq's kb/m control scheme. it's what I used and felt it was very fine. Same with Skyrim's. The only games I think I liked better with a controller were Dark Souls and Alpha Protocol. Honestly, just wait and see what you prefer.

Witcher 2 works well now, so I'm reasonably comfortable thinking they've made necessary alterations to make W3 not poo poo right off the bat.

Yeah it's not a strange question at all, some games have incredibly bad KBM controls.

I thought I'd go back to my old save and amend my decision to kill the assassin at the end, only for whatever reason, I can't talk to him. the prompt comes up, i hit left click, and nothing happens. Prompt disappears and that's it.

Any ideas of the cause and how I could fix it?

It's a weird question because none of us have played it.

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I'm pretty sure Comte said he preferred a controller, but even if that's the case, YMMV.

It looks like some terrible fat finger screenshot when you reach for the Mountain Dew and Doritos while accidentally knocking your keyboard off your desk.

Seriously though, the foliage doesn't look great to me and the guy on the right looks like he probably isn't mocap but the tessellation is absolutely fantastic.

It does look better than The Witcher 2, at least. I'll wait till release before I cry downgrade or whatever, but hopefully CDPR isn't just bullshitting whenever they cite YouTube compression or old builds as the reason for some bad looking screens.

So first you posted a link with that screenshot and others but when everyone pointed out that literally every other screenshot from the link looks amazing you pulled the worst one out to completely misrepresent the point.

I get it, you think the graphics are bad or a downgrade or some other garbage. Great, you've made your point. Buy it or not, no one cares but stop constantly posting about it.
