I just finished Chapter One, and I have to say this about one of the characters:

Seriously, who doesn't love a no-nonsense badass like Vernon Roche? The guy gets the job done, no matter what, and is intensely loyal to his country, no matter who is on the throne. He is the only true patriot in the swarms of hypocrites and liars featured in this game. In some ways, I find him very refreshing.

So, I nominate him as one of video gaming's best sidekicks for 2011.

Well, there is the racism. But the elves are the same, to be fair. They just lost.

I just beat the Draug. Awesome fight.
Wish there were more in games like that. So, after 20+ hours in the
game, I'm actually going to give my pro/con list (for no real reason
other than I feel like writing one):

That savepoint needs to die 10000s of deaths. I hated the pre-draug fight moments where you control other characters so much, because it forbids you to roll and it removes signs, which as a mage build on hard = death.

@Cos Sarah
Craft it from normal cloth would be a good idea.

I don't seem the have the diagram for robust cloth, wonder where I missed it at.

You want the diagram for "solid cloth" I believe. Kinda confusing. 

Thats a small error they seem to have made, the requirments for items are for robust cloth, but there is a diagram called solid cloth that is the same thing. So it's easy to think that one does not have the robust cloth diagram.

Where did you find enough robust cloth? If ya don't mind me asking.

There's a translation error.

Solid cloth (the formula) = robust cloth (the item).

I'm just starting to replay it, and it's cool to see how much the game changes. I wonder how different Chapter 2 will be based on a particular choice.

I really enjoyed the Claws of madness quest. Love how spirits are depicted in this game.

I really like the new Wraith models look great with all that smoke and mist.

I *just* realized this and finally made my kayran armour.  Late, and in Chapter 2, but I now have it.   Wish I would have thought of that sooner!  I've been looking for hours.  lol 

There are a number of striking similarities between Da2 and TW2 actually.    A couple of great pokes at other popular fantasy genre stories too, which were funny. The one between Geralt and Iorveth had me smiling.    FInally heading to bed, 3 hours late again. Addictive game, not great for the beauty sleep

Well no, I meant the diagram to make robust cloth. Which is called solid cloth. But you're right, the merchants sell units of robust cloth as well. 

You're right too. The diagram for "robust cloth" is called "solid cloth"... someone made a mistake there because all the other diagrams are named after the final product! hehe

  Which actually speaks to the overall strength of the translation, that until you said this it honestly didn't even occur to me that it could have been a translation error. I was assuming some dev got a few entries in the item name tables crossed.

Someone posted this build and bonus guide on Gamespot, thought it might be useful.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH DO NOT USE MUTAGENS UNTIL YOU HAVE BOTH GREATER AND 2 IN IMPREGNATION

Training tree 6 points (why because its mandatory... sigh)

0 Hardiness - Why because 10-50 vit is useless compared
1
Dagger Throwing - Why because a quest requires this... get 2 if you
want to use quen or want to play hard/insane (throwing daggers chews
most bosses down)
0 Vigor Regen - Why because its the least of the useless skills...
1
Parrying - Why because you want mutable skills, and this is a prereq...
get 2 if you don't plan to ever cast quen or you want to play
hard/insane
1 Arrow Redirection - Why because its mutable
2 Fortitude - Why because its mutable and one extra vigor means a lot

Leaving you with a choice to get 2 in parrying or 2 in dagger throwing

after level 7 go to

Alchemy
1 Synthesis
1 Spec: Pot
1 Harvester
1 Spec: Oil
2 Impreg (35% boost to 10 mutagens is what it says, in effect it doubles all mutagens)
1 Taster
1 Metathesis mutable
1 Condensation mutable
1 Beserker mutable
1 Mutant mutable
1 Amplification mutable

after level 19 go into

Swordsmanship

1 Position - Pre-req
1 Violence - Pre-req
1 Whirl - Pre-req
1 Hardy - Pre-req
1 Finesse - Pre-req
1 Invincible - mutable
1 Combat acumen - mutable
1 Whirlwind - mutable

This unlocks 10 mutations by level 28

after level 27 you can choose, dependant on your mutations choice

If you choose Critical Mutagens get 10 x 6% = 60% base critical effect + bonus from skills

2 Finesse
2 Whirlwind

and have 100%+ base chance to inflict any critical with an attack... this is the MOST powerful sword based killing tree

And you are free to take whatever from 29 on... you basically instantly kill any human and cripple any monster

If you choose Power Mutagens
get 10 x 3 min and 10 x 6 max damage for 30-60 bonus damage (basically
like having the best weapon in the game doubled) + bonus from skills
mauling any enemy you hit with ease

2 Violence
2 Whirl
2 Percision
2 combat acumen

And you are free to take whatever from 32 on... you basically deal some INSANE damage per hit

If you choose Strength mutagens
get 10 x 4 armor + 10 x 1 vitality regen for 40 base armor and 10 base
vitality regen + bonus from skills... makes you basically invincible to
anything

2 Tough guy
2 Invincible
2 Combat acumen

And you are free to take whatever from 31 on... you basically a walking tank that can take any beating in the game...
Sudden Death - a good skill to take with the armor build as it will allow you to kill somewhat faster

Mutagen List
Vitality is +10
Critical is 3% to all (directly stacks on each other)
Power is 1-3 to sword damage
Strength is 2 armor and +1 vitality regeneration
Concentration does not appear to come in a greater format...
Range is does not appear to come in a greater format...
Enhancement is 5% bonus adrenaline on hit

AFTER level 2 impregnation you get... ALWAYS get impregnation BEFORE using ANY mutagens... ALWAYS

Vitality is +20
Critical is 6% to all
Power is 3-6 to sword damage
Strength is 4 armor and +1 vitality regeneration
Concentration does not appear to come in a greater format...
Range is does not appear to come in a greater format...
Enhancement is 10% bonus adrenaline on hit

They come in 3 levels
Lesser
Normal
Greater

Always use greater... ALWAYS

Sword Enhancements
Various runes, the best of which is the +7% damage +8% bleeding one
Armor Enchancements
Unless you are a mage any +2 armor one is good... the other effects don't matter enough
If
you are a mage one unique armor one gives +5 to sign damage, and the
Wraps at the end of the game give +3 (both have +2 armor as well)

Best
Swords seem to be the one forged from the gargoyle quest (act 3) and
the silver sword found in the chest from the gargoyle quest (act 3)

Best Armor seems to be the one you can buy in Act 3
Best
leggings / gloves seem to be forged ones, but they don't really matter
much, best leggings I found gave 3 armor, best glove 2 armor (and
sometimes the Act 3 humans drop nice things!)

Best Trophy
Troll +9 damage
Arachnid thing +8 armor
One of the boss monsters +5 armor +55 vitality and + something else

the prologue) - Stays at level 1

jail you carry him to the exit of the Dungeons of La Valettes - Stays at
level 1

lot of magic - Mine stayed at level 1, but I didn't cast spells, I
assume it goes to level 3

town fight very early on - Stays at level 1

Thrower
Act 1 increases thrown weapon damage by +5 - requires dagger throwing -
and then beat the guys in the 'party' quest at throwing things... I
think it stays at level 1

Anatomy Lesson +10% damage to humans - Checking the bodies in act 2 with the surgical equipment and recover the metal shard - Stays at level 1

Sweet! I'll use something like that but only after 1st run is done! =)

Asked a question earlier but it got lost in the troll fight, so I'll apologize for posting it again;

A question if I may to all you lovely people who have finished the game; is there a way to avoid the Triss romance subplot? Ever since reading the books I vastly prefer Yennefer over Triss, and in TW1 it irked me greatly the way she keeps worming herself in Geralt's heart despite knowing whom he really loved.

So, is there? Pretty please?

[DragonRageGT]

Yeah, I think you can break her heart pretty good at some point... and be free to plough all the other! Couldn't bring my Geralt to do it on this run though. Triss has genuinely showed me love! =)

In Vino Veritas became In Cervezia Veritas? ROFL!  Cerveja rules, 'cept in the UK where they drink it warm! =)

So I just finished some.. errrrr.. 'ploughing'... in the elven garden baths.

Since TW1 Triss is my Geralt's heart belong. Yennefer has changed significantly since the Wild Hunt according to Letho's word. So the reunion of whit wolf and her could be a tragedy in TW3?

Well I've read the first 2 books after playing TW1, the way Triss rubbed off on me in both the game and in the novels really rubbed off on me.

[panzerwzh]

@Anathemic
Triss is a sorcerer. Plotting & Manipulating is part of her. At least she show where her hearts belong "honestly" in both TW1&2. That is good enough.

[J.C. Blade]

Oh, I have no doubt that Yen's and Geralt's reunion will be a tragedy. It was said in the books that the two will never have a happily ever after (despite them being soul mates and what not) so tragedy doesn't bother me. Of course, that all goes if the guys in the company stick to the lore - which they probably won't but I can hope

It's just the way Triss is so forced in the game that beguiles my mind. In the books she is a weak but good person while in the game she acts more like Yen than as she was in written medium.

[DragonRageGT]

Aw well... I feel like I'm playing Origins again. Haven't been this excited with a game since. Deleting my current run at Level 17 and starting a fresh one in Hard.

Normal became too easy and I never ever just switch difficulty, plus I want the chance to correct few mistakes in my talents distribution, very much like I did in Origins! Still won't face Insane unless I'm sure to survive or they make a Heroes Cemetery at TW2 forums when they reopen!

And I just love doing that. I love long long tutorials and this first 1/2 run has been just a big fraking great tutorial! Now let's get down to witchering business!

You could simply image Triss in game is Yennefer with a red hair job done.

[J.C. Blade]

I could but I'm too attached to raven-haired, violet-eyed sorceress who always dresses in black and white Beside, I so want to see how she would look in TW2 game's engine.

Good stuff!

[panzerwzh]

She will be in TW3, either as a hottest sorcerer or toughest Boss.
So it is only a matter of time.

So. My ancestors are from Poland, primarily. Our last, last, last name is Stepien. We just added an 'n' in there in them modern times.

I really want to talk family geneology with the lead writer/designer now.
