In Witcher 2, Act 1, in the town of Flotsam, near the blacksmith, two characters are discussing whether or not the witcher would be willing to listen to their offer. Their names appear as [PL] Mikolaj and [PL] Filip. I don't know the signifigance of the [PL] that precedes their names. If you talk to them, they want the witcher to try out an experimental potion and keep a journal for their research. You can refuse or accept their offer, but no entry appears in your journal.
Anyone know what's going on here? Perhaps an inside joke?
Thanks.
Mikolaj and Filip
