You should check out the walkthrough by Dan Simpson on gamefaq.com. In it you will find a section written by a fellow named JFrazz with his incredible build. I tried a modification of his consular/master built and it's spectacular. Instead of a consular I went for a sentinel because they are able to ...

Problem with TSL restored content mod

Namely the movies do not expand to the full size of my screen, just playing in the small patch in the middle. It's a minor annoyance but still. Any fixes?

Also, why is it that I am posting under my account name in the forums but a chosen alias in the news comments? That also applied before disqus.

Also, I am giving it every chance. It's a bunch of other people who are not.

Alchemy in Witcher 2

Really didn't like the treatment it received in the game. I found it to be nearly superfluous playing on hard difficulty. Anyone tried an alchemy-based build?

New GB homepage design....

..Added nothing new, did not improve functionality, made the whole thing less personal, and resulted in an apparent (imo) drop in the number of @news comments. Picking between disliking it and hating it I will go with hating.

Witcher 2 character info

Certain quests grant new abilities as per GB walkthrough. Is there a way to see that in the game? There is no freaking character sheet; very annoying.

Capn Jean-Pierre

Is a tough mother. I was under the impression that witchers were the best of the best to begin with and possessed the capacity to consume highly toxic potions. I could not take this bastard at lvl 37-38 on an equal footing which is to say without using signs, or potions, or applying something to the ...

Perhaps it's a translation issue but it definitely raised some questions for me. Also, Sapkowski's world is nothing if not gritty if The Witcher is any indication and doesn't shy away from illustrating extremes of human nature.

Interesting bit I noticed in the Witcher (spoiler)

In chapter 5, if you romanced Triss the king inquires as to the nature of the relationship. I chose the 1st option which was we are close and its no one else's business. The king's reply was: no need to be rude, I too loved Adda's mother, they forbade me from marrying her but I hope you fare better ...

Does it matter whom you romance? Or which factions you joined? End-game equipment?

Problems with the GOG version of PT

At some point after I left the mortuary, any order of eastward movement results in the Nameless One moving backwards. Same goes for the area NPCs.
Is this common?

I was thinking berserker/swashbuckler or assassin. And both classes' HLA are basically combat oriented.

Yeah, unfortunately if you want to use SK to change kits you have to apply their special abilities by hand, copying the effect (a series of numbers) from other characters or typing them in if you know the codes.

As for backstabbing, if I recall correctly, the only two-handed weapon you can ...

Want to dual to a thief and that 1/2 attack at 13 sounds useful.

Does backstabbing with a 2h weapon make for a more satisfying effect than with a 1h weapon? Wondering if I should wo with single or 2h weapon styles. Usually like dual wielding katanas, which is cheesy, but wanted to try something new.

Also, what's a good level to dual at, considering I prefer full ...

I tried looking for the portraits in the IWD directory, unsuccessfully. And wouldn't know what size is compatible with the game.

Also, I am sure Ben Stiller and Seth Green would resent being in the halflings section.

Any place to get additional portraits for BG 2?

Such as the ones from IWD 2j. BG 2 selection sucks.
