[QUOTE=EliteGuy;30225245]The price of the game dropped to 39.99 on Steam, probably because the game sold so poorly. :frown:[/QUOTE] It was promo'd with tf2 items so its impossible for it to have sold poorly
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;30225548]Got the old witcher 1 hairstyle, shit's dope. Also, I'm doing the Gargoyle Contract quest. This shit is fucking stupid, where do I find these places and what order do I press these signs?[/QUOTE] [sp]You need to buy four books of power runes from one of the merchants in the center of the city, and each spot can be found in one of the "corners" if you think of Loc Muinne as a square, except there's none in the lower left corner.[/sp]
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;30225245]The price of the game dropped to 39.99 on Steam, probably because the game sold so poorly. :frown:[/QUOTE] 400,000 copies have been sold so far. [editline]3rd June 2011[/editline] Also, i don't know what you're talking about because it's still 50 bucks on steam.

[QUOTE=DX_V;30201547]If you patched your game recently you should have gotten it.[/QUOTE] Alright. Guess I did.

[QUOTE=DX_V;30230038]What were the sales numbers?[/QUOTE] he's talking out of his ass, the game sold incredibly well especially for a pc game
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;30229772]I hope it sells more, also [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Sdzj6.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] :confused: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QL1BP.png[/IMG]
fyi the 400,000 sales is retail only and doesn't include steam/GoG sales
[QUOTE=benzi2k7;30231047]fyi the 400,000 sales is retail only and doesn't include steam/GoG sales[/QUOTE] I thought so, seems like with all the praise and forum chatter there would be very little chance that it sold poorly.
Can anyone help me choose the best grahpics settings? GPU: NVIDIA GTX 460M 1.5 GB CPU: Intel Core i7-720QM Yes, it's a laptop GPU, so the game can't detect the best settings. The GTX 460M is approximately of slightly less performance of a desktop GTS 450, but it has 1.5 GB VRAM.
[QUOTE=aydin690;30230898]:confused: [/QUOTE] [url]http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us[/url] Says 39.99$ Also, finished it yesterday. While it was goddamn amazing as a whole, it wasn't without flaws and ending just felt quite a huge letdown. Its like they ran out time/money and had to wrap this shit up as quickly as possible. Act 2 was building up for something huge and amazing and then it kinda vanished in last act.
I am on the beginning of the second act and I dunno...feel like the change was too abrupt...right when I was beginning to really feel at home in Flotsam. First time I have ever felt this way.

And maybe motion blur. [editline]4th June 2011[/editline] I have a 1 gb 330m and an i5-m450 to put it in perspective

First time I have ever felt this way.[/QUOTE] I think Iorveth's path is way better than Roche's. Vergen is better than Henselt's military camp. Also you get to know more interesting characters around Vergen, yet to fully understand the story it's good to pick the other path on a second playthrough.

I still like the game, but things like that better get sorted with a patch soon.
I thought the ending was fine even though Loc Muinne is the least interesting place. The thing I wonder about is all those HUGE decisions you make.. and I hope we don't have to wait another 4 years to see how all those decisions play out...
Did anyone else just not bother using potion in the game? I played on normal and I only drank one potion at the start of the game and realised how useless they are because of the negative effects they gave you. I take it they're more useful on harder difficulties, but they are mostly useless on normal and easy. If the potions didn't have such major negative effects then they would probably be useful, but the battling in the game gets easy at the end of Flotsam so there's no need for them anyway.

I don't even know if there are torches in w2 so the potion was the most logical choice. Not being able to drink in combat makes the whole system feel pointless. In w1 I would have died without drinking them.
Finished the game a second time, [sp]went with Iorveth, let Sile die, saved Saskia (and broke the spell, she still didn't reward me properly but whatever, she is the only one with honour and morals in the entire game) and did not fight Letho.[/sp] Have to say this path was way more interesting than the other. You also get to influence things a lot more, or at least that's what I felt like ([sp]helping Saskia (whatever her city's name is) win the battle, and then saving her giving the north the leader they will need against Nilfgaard (not to mention you also learn the truth behind the dragon, which was a pretty big question), actually getting to kill (well more or less) Detmold without having to lose Triss, Philippa getting her eyes pulled out and so on[/sp]). The expansion better [sp]either deal with Geralt finding Yennefer, or the Nilfgaardian invasion, or preferably both. I also better get some rewards (or punishments) for the endgame choices, maybe Letho helping me out sometime or having the extreme luck of a black dragon happening to pass by and incinerating some assholes that were giving me trouble?[/sp]
Where do I go to find Philippa in Loc Muine? I've been everywhere but all the doors are locked.
Finally got around to buying this game and holy shit is it infuriating. It's still pretty fun though.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;30241522]Where do I go to find Philippa in Loc Muine? I've been everywhere but all the doors are locked.[/QUOTE] Get yourself arrested, it's the quickest way.
How do I do that? Let the guards kill me?
[QUOTE=JesterUK;30241598]How do I do that? Let the guards kill me?[/QUOTE] Yeah, let them hit you a few times (be sure to save first, I don't know if you can get arrested by all guards or just a certain type of them).

I was like, ok, lets do some story related things and then, when it slows down ill do some sidequests. The joke was on me.
Can hairstyles be changed in-game?
Aha, I love how it drops 10 dollars the day after I buy it. Oh well, it's well worth the price.
Anyone know of the save import differences? If there are any that is. The armor and weapon bonuses were obvious and very welcome, but I was always curious if there was extra dialogue if I imported a save where I was on good terms with Triss.

Is anyone here using an Nvidia geforce GTX 295 because I got one for free as it was an upgrade but for some reason It can't run the witcher 2, not even on minimum very well. Keeps making a gfx card glitchy noise like 'kzzt'
