Interesting, I guess she's used to it though. (I was with Shani in W1 for this current import were I aided the Scoia'Tel plus I "collected" cards wherever possible, haha.)

EDIT: Updated that modification in my last post, no longer includes other stuff and added a tower choice.

That does bring up a good point as well, I guess that particular path will be explored and concluded better in a future expansion, though I killed that spectre in the end of W1 already, maybe there's more to it though. Smile

Haha I think I'll just let it be, also I just uploaded the third version which removes even more clutter I had there, now only 750 KB and only includes the modifies files.
(As said though all choices are disabled as the folder are renamed so the only active thing at first is the no-intro attempt albeit the folders can be renamed as suited.)

Well fuck me dearly, I finally managed to get it running. The solution? Very large texture size with no compression. Not large, but very large. Awesome QA right there - not my CCC settings, not a bad driver, but a fucked up option which just doesn't make sense at all.

Like with the first game, both sides are a bunch of dicks. It really boils down to whether you agree with their methods or not. There's no cliche bastards and victim here.

Maybe CDProjekt will fix this flaw on their next game. I mean, this is not realistic at all.

I agree, Bioware's methodology is much better. In their games you know who to kill and who to protect. This game is too confusing Sad

Both sides have "bad" methods.

And actually, the scoia'tel ARE the victims. But still their goals and methods suck. Just like Vernon.

I guess I'll just choose who makes the most practical sense? But in that case there is not much of a clear choice either. Both have good reason to be able to track down who needs to be tracked down.

Mind Control someone.
Use Aard to push them back. Sometime you can stun them and it leads to an instant-kill.
Use Samum, a bomb that can you craft through the alchemy screen (when meditating, press Ctrl) to stun them. Stunning them makes it easy to mind-control one.
Use Quen (or w/e is the real name) to get a shield to protect. Warning : using it stops vigor from regenerating.
Use Parry (requires vigor) to avoid getting hit.

Once you get use to the combat system playing it a second time on hard is actually easier than playing it the first time on normal.

You're not really supporting Ioverth, you're supporting Saskia to form a place where everyone is equal.
But this game hates happy endings and will screw you whenever you come close to a victory, so just go with whatever you prefer.
(No seriously, cutscenes are you biggest enemy. Whenever you finish saving the world a cutscene appears and destroys everything you hold dear.)

Real life is not black and white, it's full of confusion and hard choices, bad guys don't wear mustaches and black hats.

I win every single game, does it carry through from the first if you win all the quest games giving some sort of bonus?

The first game I would lose a lot. They'd pull 5 of the same dice all the fucking time.


I can't imagine how. Unless you're save scumming after every game. It's totally random, and they have serious horseshoes up their asses. I roll 3 of a kind to start, they roll 4 of a kind.
It's pretty big bullshit and I expect I'll be ignoring this aspect of the game.

The NPC's models are in /characters/ but some of them are different as extension .xbm, I doubt they'll will work same as .w2ent, haven't tried yet anyway.

Edit: Imo, dunno why I think those are textures .xbm

Edit: Yea, textures.

Report from second playthrough:

Choices have yet to have any serious consequences, my decision to kill the baron La Valette hasn't been mentioned since Act I, and my previous alliance (in The Witcher 1) has not affected my relation with the Scoia'tel in this part. Iorveth has no additional dialogue option and my starting position is unaffected, in spite of trying to save Iorveth.

It might be that the "multiple choices, and dire consequences" are but a ruse, gentlemen.


Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

It seems the dither issue might be a bug, opening the PCUber.ini preset file for example shows different values than applied.

I use this User.ini for example.
Code:

[Engine]
CustomRenderingSettings=1
PerformancePlatform=3

[Input]
KeyboardLayout=QWERTY

[MouseInput]
SensitivityX=0.5
SensitivityY=0.5
Smoothness=1

[Rendering]
AllowAntialias=1
AllowBloom=1
AllowBlur=1
AllowCutsceneDOF=1
AllowDOF=1
AllowDecals=1.0
AllowMotionBlur=1
AllowRain=1
AllowSSAO=1
AllowScatterDOF=1
AllowShafts=1
AllowSharpen=1
AllowVignette=1
AtlasTextureDownscale=0
CharacterLodGameplayDownscale=0
DanglesLimiter=0
DetailTextureDownscale=0
FoliageDistanceScale=2.0
Fullscreen=1
MaxAtlasTextureSize=4096
MaxCubeShadowCount=4
MaxCubeShadowSize=2048
MaxSpotShadowCount=4
MaxSpotShadowSize=2048
MaxTextureSize=4096
MeshDistanceScale=2.0
ShadowQuality=3
ShadowedLights=3
TextureDownscale=0
TextureMemoryBudget=1800
TextureTimeBudget=30
UberSampling=1
VSync=0

[Viewport]
Height=1050
Width=1680


(2048x2048 pixel shadows instead of 1024 and 512 as that file says, Uber.ini also states 2048x2048 but it's not applied, number of shadows also set a bit higher.)

EDIT:


It does not fully solve it but I think it's improved.
