When am I supposed to get a list of suspects from Raymond?

Go get your stuff back.

Did so, no list :/

Did he tell you to come back later? Because if he did, just go back. Whenever someone says that, you just gotta reenter the room.
If that wasn't the case,just follow the breadcrumbs. I.e. Jethro in the cell should tell you where he got the sword.

 

[Storyfag]

After talking to Raymond, I can do w/e i want tho?

I... think so. Not 100% sure if there isn't some shady trigger for some other stuff down the line.

What's the special reward for collecting all cards?

The shittiest long quest is the one for the dentist - takes a whole game to complete and the reward is totally meh...

Eh? The best steel sword, by far, is meh?
Sure some teeth may be easily missable/used up by alchemy, making it possible to fail this quest, which can be annoying. But complaining about the reward? Really?

It only has pure damage, no bonus to effects. I thought effects were teh shit, because everything died fast anyway? (at this point in the game)

Beat Chapter 2.

Darn it, that Javed boss music was so awesome.

Also, are any of those additional scenarios worth a play?

Quite a bit. Some of them developed by CDPR themselves and included in TW1: EE and I'd personally recommend to check them first.
Here's the list with short review of each at CD Projekt's forum:

Did he get the jump on you? Or you on him? ^^

I did Tho, I was wondering what would happen if i didnt bust him.

 

[Storyfag]

Haven't run exhaustive tests, but I think the fight would have been minimally harder.

 

[thesoup]

Raymond.

He knock you out and steal all the stuff from tower.

Spoiler

He use it to cast a spell on Magister, when you fight with him in Wyzima sewers.

I'd only recommend the two official ones, really. "The Price of Neutrality" is by far the better of the two, essentially an alternative telling of Sapkowski's short storyThe Lesser Evil. "Side Effects" is kind of fun, but you won't really miss out on much if you just skip it. All of the fan-made modules I've checked out have been garbage, some more than the others. Maybe give a shot to one or two of the most interesting ones and see if they can hold your interest.

And how long are they on the average? Thinking about giving every single one included in EE Directors cut a shot, just for completion's sake.

 

[Carrion]

The official ones are a couple of hours each at most. In general they're something you can complete in one sitting, although I think there are some longer ones among the unofficial modules.

One sitting is what i hoped for. Well, Ill def beat official ones, and we'll see about those 3 or 4 CD Projekt decided to include.


Also, am I the only one who's maaaadly triggered by the fact that Thaler appears in Witcher 3, even if you imported a save from 1 to 2 to 3 where he's dead af.

 

[Frozen]

From those separate adventures only The price of neutrality is worth it, everything else is a waste of time, garbage.
And they are all short so that's at least a good thing (couple of h each at max.)
I mean you can play them if you like TW1 gameplay lol but only that 1 adds some story elements that fit nice just before TW2

 

[v1rus]

I really dont know which of the sides too chose

No way I'd join order, tho I'd like to continue the bromance with Siegfried, and to see him in Witcher 2. Scioatel are ok I guess, but I seriously dont want to kill Siegfried.
neutral is teh best, but I feel like it doesnt contribute anything to Witcher 2 :/

 

[Storyfag]

Do not consider it siding with the Order, consider it siding with Siegfried

 

[v1rus]

Do not consider it siding with the Order, consider it siding with Siegfried

Ow, dammit, now I know who to choose even less.

Which one was most satysfing, plot wise? Also, as I understood it, you cant side with the faction you didnt choose during bank robbery, right?

Well. There is no follow up involving Yaevinn in TW2. Plus... ask Zoltan about the Scoia'tael. You trust your old pal Zoltan, don't you?

Exactly.

Darnit, Im going full Deus Vult Eternal Fire fill my heart, am I not?

The response Siegfieid gave me after Golem battle broke something in me

 

[Krivol]

Why not sitting on the fence?

He says something after that battle?

Btw men if you're like me and you mash that f5 button lkke there's no tomorrow, remember that the game always creates a new save file. This can add up and by chapter 4 I had 476 save files that took up a total of 8.22 GB. Whenever I'd fire up the game, just loading all those save files after pressing the load game button in the main menu would take over a minute.

So if the main menu to load menu transition feels sluggish, I highly recommend visiting your save folder and deleting everything but the last few saves.

The thing is TW2 doesn't give a fuck about your TW1 choices the same way TW3 doesn't care about TW2 choices. This is the worst thing in the whole series. I have completed TW1 three times at least (a long time ago), bought TW2 on day one and completed it just a few months ago because I have been pissed so much about the beginning I couldn't go on (plus I kinda hate combat in TW2 - it feels like playing as a snail or a turtle).

Well, The Witcher 2 cares a bit more about TW1 choices than Witcher 3 about TW2.

Spoiler

At least Siegfried is in here unlike him and Iorveth in TW3 if you played your cards right in TW1

And I feel that The Witcher 2 did better job at siding Triss with Geralt unlike The Witcher 3 with black & white wench.

My all-time Witcher crush will always be Philippa Eilhart. Fuck Triss, fuck Yen.
