Let's Play The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition

Blind let's play The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition (PC).

Using imported save file from my The Witcher LP. Played, recorded and uploaded on PC, ultra graphics max settings, no ubersampling and 1920x1080. All videos on the playlist are uploaded with high quality 1080p Full HD.

This is a blind let's play: I haven't played the game before, not The Witcher 2 or the Enhanced Edition. I don't know what to expect, and I don't want to know.

No spoilers in the comments of this video or any other video on the let's play. Note the difference between hints and spoilers thou, gameplay tips are fine, revealing anything about the story or possible secrets is not.

I play on Hard difficulty, but that doesn't mean I'm any good at the game. Any glimpse of skill on my part is accidental and/or luck, and isn't proof of things to come.

The Witcher 2 Signs & Magic

In The Witcher 2, Geralt has the knowledge of signs from the beginning.

Aard – a telekinetic wave that can throw back, knock down or stun an opponent. This sign can also be used to destroy obstacles, for example crumbling walls or stacks of barrels.

Igni – fire magic, throws flames that wound opponents & make gas (from bombs) explode. Upgraded Igni sign has a chance of incinerating opponents and also has a larger area of effect.

Yrden – a magical trap placed on the ground (wounds & immobilizes opponents when triggered). The sign's basic level allows you to place 1 yrden sign on the ground (With upgrade, up to 3 yrden signs at a time).

Quen – a protective shield that lasts for 30 seconds at the sign's basic level. It is a sign that Geralt uses on himself – quen absorbs all damage directed at Geralt, and the upgraded version reflects 50% of the damage back toward to enemy. While quen is in effect, Geralt cannot regenerate vigor.

Axii – charm an opponent. When the charm is successful, the enemy becomes an ally for a short while, fighting for you.

Heliotrop – not available immediately, needs points in the magic skill tree. The Heliotrop Sign creates a temporary immobile circular force-field area around Geralt, which considerably slows down everything inside the field except himself.
