^ It depends on the progression of your character. I only had 4 magic slots by the end of the game. But, maxed the Swordplay tree.

Quen for me. It is such a blessing for hack and slashers. Really eases the pressure off.

Just started The Witcher 2 yesterday and it seems to me that the game is running a little slower than I expected. I'm running it at the 'High spec' configuration set with 'Vertical Sync disabled' @1600*900 and I'm getting around '25 FPS' all the time. Is it OK or should I expect more from my system

My system specs are given below in my siggy...

Your performance with the GTS 450 is just fine.....

That was informative...Gives me peace of mind...Thanks a lot

BTW I finished the prologue. I haven't played Witcher but the prologue gave me a fair idea about what happened in the first game. Also it was a bit difficult for me as I'm not used to the combat system and it's kinda frustrating experience for me ...But the game is awesome...very addictive

[damngoodman999]

Oh my god i finished the game !

[rhitwick]

Just started Witcher2. Now into Chapter 3 (I guess) i.e. the village where Geralt saves Dandelion from hanging.

Question is that, why can't I upgrade my magic, alchemy and sword fight abilities? I could only upgrade the Witcher training section only...

I played Witcher 1 and let me tell you, the combat in Witcher 1 was far more tough. Witcher 2 combat is easy and the camera angle is fixed at least now. But I would still love the camera angles of Witcher 1, makes combats easy. TPS view is not for this game, at least not always...

Yeah I'm facing the same problem too...All other paths are locked

well for ur kind info...u r not in chapter 3..u r at the very beginning of chapter 1 where u have save danelion and zoltan from hanging.GO to the guard standing near the platfrom and start the conversation with him auguring y they r 2 be hanged ... n then u have interrupt the execution.u have to then engage him him in fist fight, first with the main guard then with the executioner himself.... and about the locked skill well u wont have access to them at very beginning untill u have put single points in each training skill tree.i.e u have reach lvl 5 to unlock other trees.

combat in witcher 1 was timing n predefined styles based and here in witcher 2 its also timing and quickness based ..a little bit like batman Arkam aslylum game...free flow i mean...they have taken inspiration from that game's combat which is the best

[rhitwick]

^well got mixed up with chapters I guess.
But my other three skill trees are locked and I'm in level 6 now.

About combat, Witcher 1 had unique but Witcher 2 kind of follows the combat of console gaming style. Button combos (I hate 'em)

Query: Arm wrestling tip anyone?

[saddy]

^^ u have to put one point in each skill in Witcher training path.just put 1 point in each of these confirmed in the "Training" path: Dagger Throwing, Fortitude, Arrow Redirection, Parrying, Hardiness, and Vigor Regeneration. u can also mutant two skill in that path .then u will unlock other paths as i have seen.I wasnt sure at want lvl they unlock but after i place single point in all of these only then my other paths such as swordsmanship, alchemy and magic path unlocked..try to do side quest first.they offer good source of xp and orens . Get them from notice broad beside the inn.
About arm wrestling first u have to it with zoltan.try to keep the arm icon in yellow zone .BTW i found fist fight fun n challaging rather than arm wreslting nd poker.

[JojoTheDragon]

Killed the Kayran and built the Kayran armor. Man this game is awesome. Worth every penny.

[Lord073]

In the 2nd chapter now...At level 24...On my way to a battle with some ghost within the mist

Ok, just unlocked my other paths. I had already upgraded all the points in "Witcher Trg." path, and then "Vigor Regeneration" took another upgrade to unlock other paths.

And, learned arm wrestling aftr two three tries. Fist Fighting is fun...

[axes2t2]

Fist fighting is easy in the game but I couldn't get around the arm wrestling.

[vamsi_krishna]

Arm wrestinling was a piece of cake for me. Except for that encounter with a giant in Loc Muinne (chapter 3). I had to Intimidate him with trash talk to be able to defeat him.

[JojoTheDragon]

Total time taken to finish Chapter 1 including all its side missions was 24hrs. Now this is awesome.
The longer the game lasts the better.

[v.Na5h]

^ Unless u have got loads of backlog left to play....like me!!

[Lord073]

Finished the game...Chapter 3 and the Epilogue were quite short.

[rhitwick]

Where is the damn "Kyran" I'm waiting for him like two days.

Right now I'm in the Inn beside the river. A Quest item shows in the kitchen where the inn manager sits.

Help guys, do I need to talk to a particular person to bring the monster back to shore?

[JojoTheDragon]

^Have you read the journal?

Anyway, finished the game yesterday. Clocked 44 hrs in total. An epic experience.

You have to go talk to the sorceress Shile.

And am I the only one who didn't fight the last boss coz he gave me vodka.

[rhitwick]

Well, got to Kyran last night and game crashed. Will try again today.

Lol, why did you take the bait, that last boss fight was awesome. Load your savefiles and play. It must not be missed.

You are not alone here. Even I spared his life.

Although I backed up my saves and played the episode again.. this time, kicking his butt. I already experimented in the last chapter.. and got 4 different endings. In my first playthrough. In which I took the side of Vernon Roche.

Already started the second.. This time.. I will go with Iorveth.

how did you count your time? Xfire/Steam/GoG? Because, in game save files lack that counter. Which is an epic disappointment.

[JojoTheDragon]

^ The steam client did the counting.

At last killed Kyran after trying for two days. Damn, it has 4 tentacles and had to destroy three of them to bring it down.

Initially when the game was loading I started going on the left side. Destroyed the two there and then go to the right side. This just did not work at all for me. Then tonight started from right side. Within three tries I killed it.

A great satisfying fight.
