I just finished my first playthrough of TW, and have some questions on seemingly unresolved matters:

1. At the beginning of Chapter 3, you see Triss talking to another woman in a mirror, seemingly talking about Geralt. This event nevr gets mentioned again later in the game. What was that about? It looked like Triss was planning something...

2. Is Alvin the Grandmaster? Has this been commented on by any devs? I noticed the grandmaster was always talking about Geralt as if he had known him previously.

3. When Princess Adda was working with Slamandra and attempted to execute Geralt, was she under the influence of a spell? Or did she betray Geralt on her own terms?

4. In the ending cinematic, is that assassin a Witcher? IF it's found out in TW2, however, forget this question.

5. Just to clarify, Salamandra was involved in the Grandmaster's scheme for the coin, right? And the Grandmasters plot was to create superhumans that will lead humanity into a new age, or something like that?

Much appreciated to anyone who answers.

Trying to keep it spoilers free,

1- Triss was talking with another sorceress. The sorceresses have their own agenda, you'll find out quite a bit more about them in TW2

2 - It's up to your interpretation. I'm not aware of the devs stating anything to confirm it (or deny it) though.

3 - Up to interpretation too i guess. To me she really did tried to kill Geralt, she's not the kind of gal that needs to be under a spell to kill those in her way. She was being played, yes, but she acted nontheless.

4- You won't find out much more about him in TW2 but you will get at least the answer to your question, so...

5- Basically, yep.

All of your questions and more have been asked on the official forum and discussed at great length . Some real thought when into some of the interpretations that they came up with . Maybe when the forum comes back online you can drop by and check them out and add your two cents as well

According to CDPR they are hoping to get the official forum back online the last week of July

Namur answered your questions very well and i can not see adding anything further without giving away spoilers .
