Hey all

Will my saved game from steam transfer to the witcher 3 if i buy in here on GOG? or will i need to replay it after redeeming it?

Thanks

I don't think you will need to replay...

Steam version of Witcher 2 has only one difference with saves - and it's location and only when you enable cloud saves. I played steam version to get all the achievements and switched later to gog with no problems. I enabled cloud saves just tot test it and when I disabled them Witcher 2 still made saves in "cloud" location (somewhere along steam client's program files in "remote" folder or something like that). I had to move saves of course, but that's all. I think we can safely assume that just as saves are working for both versions of Witcher 2 that will be so for the third.

Actually, it seems like no file importing will take place:
"- Save imports will be handled in a manner similar to Star Wars: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II's. During the course of the game, Geralt will encounter a character that will recount his past exploits and will be able to correct him/her to set up the proper variables for the game."

The editors from Gamestar (german PC gaming magazine and website) wrote in their last Preview, that savegames from the Witcher 2 can be imported. They did not state how, but I reckon it will be equivalent to the savegame Import in the Witcher 2.

The whole paragraph (with a slight spoiler) goes something like this: For those of you who can read german or are disgusted by my poor attempts at this translation, here is the full paper (the Import-part is the second "info-Box" on the first page.

P.S. Again, for those fluent in german, try the Angespielt-Video, it's quite entertaining.
