Like this Kotaku article that introduces the happenings in the previous two games is really good for people who haven't played the games want a refresher: http://kotaku.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-the-world-of-the-witcher-1704506152 These things just keep coming to me one at a time.

ZearothK posted:So... Turns out I won't have the time to replay 2 before next week and the guy who put up all those saves had the tattoo removed...Would any goon have a handy save with Adda's curse lifted, Aryan alive, Blue-Stripes Tattoo, Iorveth's path, Stennis alive, freed Saskia and spared Letho and Sile? I have this with completionist autism on sidequests. But I did not save Saskia (she's alive but still mind controlled or whatever), I saved Triss. But I did get the dagger with the Iroveth mini quest after the fact (which means potentially can be saved later and the city doesn't turn into a blood bath and you get to kill all the Nilfgaardians). I can upload it if that's close enough. Archimago fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 15, 2015 |

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.

turtlecrunch posted:How is saving someone with plot armor the right choice? When the Saskia DLC comes, you'll be sorry! ... Well, without ~metagaming~ you have no idea that Triss is going to be okay if you don't rescue her. Also, unless I have a terrible memory (I do), you do know without metagaming that you need to go to Triss to get the dirt on Nilfgaard or all hell is going to break loose. You may not know a full on mage murderfest is going to happen, but you know that you need to go there to get information. Going in blind, I don't really see how it makes any sense to not save Triss. Also, even with metagaming, if you save Saskia, all you're doing is making it so one dragon/cutie pie isn't mindcontrolled (when you can still get the dagger to free her when you go to save Triss), and you're sacrificing the lives of all the mages + anyone else caught in the crossfire that happens in the bloodbath that results because you go to save Saskia. Needs of the many bla bla. Granted, all the sorceresses are self-serving twats, but think of all the innocent children and innkeepers and men with no pants. e. Also, with very few minor exceptions to "clean things up" those choices match my first blind playthrough, so it's my "honest" playthrough too. MY IMMERSION.

Rukus posted: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. Yeah, that's in the OP, but The People demand Tattoo Saves as part of The One True Path.

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.

First they came for the Tesselation, and I did not speak out— Because I could live with that. Then they came for the Ambient Occlusion, and I did not speak out— Because I own a GTX 360. Then they came for the Volume Based Translucency, and I did not speak out— Because I was not entirely sure what was. Then they came for the polygons—and there was no game left to play.

So in TW3 do you guys think Emyhr will be called "The White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of his Enemies" or "The White Flame Dancing on the Graves of his Enemies"? Personally, I think the former is cooler and more poetic but maybe they'll change it so console simpletons don't have to Google the word barrow? Thoughts? e. Typing is hard.

thebardyspoon posted:Right now, it's kinda pissing me off and making me think it wasn't the 360 version that was putting me off. I'll keep playing tomorrow but I'm about to get into the same area I got too on that attempt (swamp area) so we'll see I guess. I already bought Witcher 3 so kinda stuck with it now (don't think refunds are a thing where I got it). If you're just interested in the story play it on Easy/Normal and you'll blaze right through it.

Apparently some mom and pop stores in New Jersey broke the release date. Which makes one reason to leave in New Jersey. e. Apparently also in a shady neighborhood. Also apparently in Norway too. Or so says Reddit (I don't read Reddit).

Should be the highest number in the series as well. Also, I'm guessing it will only let you import endgame saves

Anti-Hero posted:I know this is from the first page, but first off thanks for the save file. It mirrors my first playthrough choices minus letting Sile live. However, when I copy the save files in to my save directory I absolutely cannot seem to have them show up in-game. This may or may not be a problem come tomorrow when TW3 unlocks, but should I be worried? Is your TW2 a Steam version? If so, are cloud saves enabled? If that's enabled, the directory it looks for saves changes, but I'm not sure to where. Probably somewhere in the steam folder. You could try finding that folder or disabling cloud saves. I was using mods for that playthrough but only texture ones, iirc. Even if I was using some others, it shouldn't affect the save files at all. I'd wager it's the cloud save thing.

Anti-Hero posted:Yes, I'm on the steam version. At one point I used steam cloud, but then disabled it. I found my saves in Steam\userdata\XXXXX\20920\remote but still no luck putting your saves in there and having it show up. Are you on the GoG version? No, steam. You tried putting them in Documents/WItcher 2/gamesaves, right? Make sure it didn't extract to a sub folder and it's just gamesaves/.sav files? A random thought I just had...You have to beat the game on Hard to get access to Dark, right? I don't actually remember. It may not be showing up because it's a dark save and you never beat the game on Hard? (Assuming that's the way it works, I don't remember.) I don't even know what happens if you try to load the final autosave, I've never tried. but the manual save should load. e. ALso, are you copying the .sav files and the .bmp files? I don't know if that matters, but it might.
