If you sell pretty much everything you pick up, then your money problems pretty much go away. All the books, scrolls (once you've read them, they're useless) , most of the food, any spare weapons (axes, knives and swords can all bring a decent amount of money), and if you go to people who forge weapons, and ask them to forge something, you can sell pretty much anything on the purchase screen. And just pick up the remains from all the monsters you come across. You'll be swimming in money. You never really have to go out of your way to complete those quests.
So for anyone who hasn't picked this up yet, it's on sale over at Impulse this weekend for 9.99.
And since the second game looks like it's gonna be awesome, of course I have to replay the first...anyone have any words of advice for a hard run? (I'm guessing mixing pots is going to be really useful...)

Seriously, is CD Projekt the only guys with an imagination anymore? I want some of this.
No, but they're one of the few where management will allow it during work hours.
Sometimes, games just have ridiculous and/or amazing press kits, though, as Giant Bomb has been knowntoshow.
Seriously, that Final Fight kit at the end of the second link there includes, among other things, a cassette soundtrack. I don't even know where to start on the Bulletstorm one.

Only that you keep your savegame, since apparently you can import it to keep your story decisions.
Although unlike Mass Effect, they're apparently going to have a system where if you're not importing, you'll basically just get to choose which answers you made / would've made, some time at the start of the second game.
Anyway, in the middle of doing fedex quests in Act II and my biggest complaint about the game, thus far, is that.
The needless quests. All the "collect 5 drowner tongue" quests are totally worthless and add nothing to the game at all. There's enough combat in the actual main story that adding in that crap just isn't necessary. I really feel like they could just straight up remove every single bounty board mission and several of the side missions and the game would lose nothing for it. They could just scale up the money and xp rewards from the rest of everything to compensate and it would be a much better game.
Maybe it is just me but I love a decent amount fetch quests. I love it when I get quests that say kill 5 X monsters or gather 10 X items. As long as they keep it within reason. I never felt like Witcher had me doing too many of those though.
Getting pretty excited about Witcher 2 now.
Me too.

The Witcher is back in my drive. Wonder if I can get into it this time.
Oh for people who get tired of all the fucking Drowners all the time: there's a drowner repelant trinket that scares them all off. Allows you to traverse the swamp superfast.

Okay, so it turned out I lost interest right before act 1 got interesting. Now I'm fighting the Beast, and getting my ass handed to me. Any tips?

aard.
and between walking out of the cave and the fight starting the time gets moved forward to night-time, so that's a few hours if you don't watch out. Your buffs may have expired by then. Best to rest up in the cave first until it's *almost* evening and then quaff your potions.

Specifically, I believe it goes to midnight. If you're just after midnight, the game will skip to midnight the next day, which will probably run through all your buffs.
Neutral is also the Witcher way. It's also the best way to get a chance to shove your sword down the throat of both sides of the conflict, which feels really damn nice after all the shit they put you through during the story..
And moving along in Chapter 5, I have a feeling this is all going to end badly.
Poor White Rayla. Saw it coming though.
The ending is great.
Killing the King of the Wild Hunt at the end gets you the best last words from a boss ever. That sword is for monsters.

Does anything change if you keep Berengar alive after the fight? Because dang that's hard to do.
It might for the sequel, but it doesn't for this game. Also, you might have a potion that makes you immune to stun and knockdown by this point. Which makes that fight easier.

Invest heavily in Aard.
edit: Man, aardouken is real good.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
I can't wait for retail!

I stuck with the Order. Not that I don't like the Elves, but
you know you can choose neither side and take the witchers path of neutrality
I'm thinking you're not so clear on the whole 'genocide' thing.
the best card.
Is it really genocide when it's a world with such massive silly geese on all sides?
The answer is still "yes." But geesery on the scales we see in the world should imply asking for it.
