I wonder what happens in the PC version if you import a save and then answer the opposite of what you did during the part that allows you to choose your past.

How short is Chapter 3 of the Witcher 2? The city seems quite small compared to the previous chapters and there don't seem to be many side-quests either. Though this isn't a bad thing as I wanted to complete it by Tuesday.

Also geez the game really just throws the best armor and weapons at you in this chapter huh.

I hope armor doesn't apply to traps in the Witcher 3. It was really weird in Witcher 2 since stuff like bear traps become completely harmless like halfway through chapter 1.

Let's get loving nerdy for two seconds;

The books state she's born 1251, the first game takes place in 1273. You may now math.

Only problem with this is that time flows differently in the other worlds. From the look of her I'm guessing she's gotta be at least 18.

Also, in Roche's path, Ves tells her story about the king and Dethmold, and Geralt tells Roche that he doesn't trust her. What is that about?

Iirc Geralt thought it was strange Ves wasn't harmed at all but it turns out she was just not telling the whole story because she got raped.

Something I never knew until I read it in the wiki: The name Roche gives to the guard in Flotsam is the name of the Nilfgaard emperor. Which makes the guards confusion make a lot more sense.

So I get why peasants hate the Empire, they see them as invaders, but why does Geralt always have such an attitude when he's dealing with people from Nilfgaard? I just spoke with the commander in White Orchard and the dude was straight up doing everything he could to help the villagers out and Geralt still gave him poo poo. It's like the game is giving me mix messages when we're supposed to hate the Empire but everyone we meet from there is friendlier than people from the North.

Geralt is rude.

Sign build rules, everything is on fire. Also a pleasant surprise is that you don't lose the regular version of a sign when you equip the alt version. You just hold the button to do the alt.

EDIT: I've heard there are fire elementals though, those will be...fun with this build.

Is there anyway to permanently increase the strength of your crossbow bolts(besides getting a better crossbow)? I thought the craftable ones would infinite like the default bolts but nope it only gave me 20.

Also alt Igni seems kinda bad, at least at low levels. I'll see if it gets better as I level up. Alt Quen is amazing and replaces the health regen ability though.

Just finished the Baron quest line. :smith:

There is one weird thing though they just kind of leave hanging (heh) and that's still the full deal with the tree horse ghost. When you come back to that village everyone is dead except the guy who cut off his ear, and he says everyone killed each other when the black horse appeared. But when you go to save Anna, you have to pick out which doll is hers to save her. One of the dolls has that dude's ear on top. My thought right away was that the horse ghost just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time there before heading off to save the orphans, and the witches took control of that one guy and he killed everyone in the village himself. There doesn't seem to be a followup quest now for any of that after the Baron hangs himself. Is it intentionally left ambiguous and you have to try to connect the dots yourself, or is there a followup quest to see what ultimately happens to the horse ghost/orphans? If yes, don't spoil it, just tell me if there is and where to get it (assuming it isn't something that comes up way later)

There's a book that elaborates a bit on the tree ghost. It was the witches' "mother" and they killed it because it went crazy and was killing everyone. Then they imprisoned its spirit under the tree. Both the witches and the tree ghost are evil but siding with the tree ghost results in a lot more death.

Not sure what the hell this game is doing with vampires. I haven't read the books but I thought lesser vampires like Katakans or Ekkimuras couldn't transform into humans, and higher vampires were one of the strongest creatures in the books and would wreck Geralt in a normal fight. Has the definition of higher vampire changed now or something?

EDIT: By the way I didn't do one of the statuette quests before Triss left so now I can't do it right?

I've definitely faced human vampires who turn into katakans, and even have the same loot table. Is it just a matter of CDPR not wanting to make a unique model and loot table for them? Even so it's weird that Geralt can kill higher vampires so easy, they should be a boss fight at least.

EDIT: By Statuette I mean the figurines you can find and bring to Triss, who'll reveal they're people who have been shrinkified. I did one of the quests but missed the other one before I sent Triss away.

Geralt fights and defeats a golden dragon, the most powerful monster in the Witcher universe, at the end of the second game so I don't think beating a vampire or two is that out of the question.

So hey, don't go into the sunken ship next to the one in the Queen Zuleyka quest. Even though you can easily jump into the hold, the ramp leading back up to the deck is blocked off by debris and is partly submerged, which disables hurdling or jumping over it because being knee deep in water counts as swimming. Hope you didn't save down there like me! :downs:

I know I'm gonna fall for this despite knowing about it now. Luckily I save before doing stuff like exploring sunken ships.

Yeah Alt Axii is bugged sometimes. By the way you don't need to hold it until the end for Alt Axii, you can just hold it for a sec and let go. Not sure if doing that affects the duration though.

I've got a story question for you guys who have read the books. I'm doing the Isle of Mists quest and I went to try to recruit allies from the emperor but Geralt refused the help if Morvran Voorhis was leading the troops. Why? What did Voorhis do to piss Geralt off enough that he'd refuse a banner of soldiers?
