superstande: hey guys it's the 'out-of-the-blue-question'-dude again :p

Hope things are going fine or towards fineness and nobody is wallowing in self-pity or self-pity-like-artificial-substances.

I'm just getting into witcher saga now, went through first one just recently...
Loaded my 1st one's save to the witcher 2 (lovely thing to get it free from gog some time ago)... I was wondering does the save affect the second game in any particular or special way other than that I got some of my old items transferred along?
Whoops can't say anything more actually, even this is bordering on spoiling fun if someone has yet to play these games.
Maybe I shouldn't be asking this stuff here and I don't mind if no one answers, just feeling rather good today for some reason.
Anyhow. Spring. The Scandinavia is getting some warmth! Fi-nal-ly!
I haven't tried it myself, but I read the changes on The Witcher Wiki. Aside from a few items you get to keep, there may be a couple of different journal entries, there are 2 or 3 small parts where the dialogue is different, and you might run into an old character (all depending on choices you made in the first game.)

LaPtiteBete: You are right not to let these things bother you... I'm glad to know you got your smile back !! :-)) That's good news.
Chatting to my partner and the lovely people on here are sure to put a smile on my face. :-)

FearfulSymmetry: Yep, I'm doing just fine! I'm still planning on going, yes. If all goes well I'll go there around the middle of May, so that'll be pretty soon.
Hopefully the weather will be nice for you when you visit, and hopefully you will get to see some wonderful plays.

adaliabooks: Ditto :)

I've never really done the getting drunk on Paddy's Day thing, largely I suppose because I haven't lived in Ireland since it was legal for me to drink...
And I've never been passed out drunk at all, Paddy's Day or not.

But as it is Paddy's Day I will share my two favourite books about Ireland, ironically written by an Englishman:

McCarthy's Bar
The Road to McCarthy

They are hilarious and really give a (worryingly) accurate picture of Ireland. So if you have any interest in Irish culture (or any Irish heritage) buy them and give them a read :)
Never being so drunk you passed out? Are you sure you are Irish? I guess that must be your Italian blood. :-)
I see that the unbundling has taken effect on my account?
And D,how's the partner? Do you tell her about the peeps here of the thread?
Hey, everyone. =)

Know what sucks about stress balls? You can actually hurt your hand if the ball is too small for your entire hand to squeeze the crap out of it properly. Learned that one the hard way. -laughs-

Also, pretty sure I'm slowly destroying the thing. Didn't even think that was possible.

I addition to to the better equipment you might also have a little more money. Otherwise some subtle things change, for instance some dialogues will refer to choices you made in the previous game - i.e. right in the beginning King Foltest mentioning his daughter Adda.

Oh... Are you supposed to squeeze it ? I always thought I just had to throw it at random colleagues heads...

Ya know...I think you've got the better idea. ;)

Now where's a colleague when I need one...

I just use paper wads and my cat. :-)

-laughs- I could do that, but the cats would just look at me as if to say, "Why are you bothering us during our ninth nap of the day, you asshole. Go away."

Mine loves it, gives her something to chase that the dog won't eat.:-)

Edit: I wish they'd get these games split up, I'm so close to 400 that it hurts. ;)

-laughs- I can see why the cat would like that. Hard to play when your toys have been devoured.

The cats here don't even play with toys. They start trying to go outside around 4 am every day, run around back and forth after sunrise, go in and out of the house 3 dozen times a day, then they come in for attention, food and their cat beds to sleep in.

You'll get there. Hell, you're almost done.

Avernum's been out long enough, it might go on sale during Summer, I'd be pretty shocked if Original Sin isn't as well, Hot Tin Roof, Oceanhorn and the Escapists aren't super expensive even at retail, MAX will be 3 dollars during Summer, the wave two Star Wars stuff might be half off by Summer, and Tex Murphy has gotten 75 percent off bundles more than once. Pillars is the only one that feels like it won't have a discount other than a small introductory one (maybe) on release.

I can wait but the splits should more than cover me, for free none the less.
I see DD actually got a wiki page, she has a very nice collection, for some reason I expected about 20 games. :-)

Good catch, didn't even notice that. =)

Figured it'd be some time before she did that, if ever.
And once again, Original Sin makes an appearance. Whenever that goes on serious sale, there's going to be at least half a dozen thread people picking that up.

I really hope it lives up to it's reputation, otherwise we're all going to be very disappointed when it finally does get a decent sale price...

-laughs- Yeah, that'd be bad. A thread full of people who are all pissed off about the same game simultaneously...
