Newbie to the Witcher games.

Oh that stupid tutorial triggered me that was for sure, I did not know even to this day you were meant to fail it. 

Got to play some Witcher 2 earlier today and wow what an introduction. First that introduction of the King on his ship and that massive Witcher who moves like a cat and killed everyone was awesome lol. I start the game in a dungeon were some prisoners are playing dice, after some abuse from the guards Vernon Roche walks in and asks to have Geralt unshackled. He asks Geralt about what happened on the day of the battle. The game opens up and Geralt is in bed (like always) with Triss (she looks much better in this game. So does Geralt.) Anyway a guard interrupts their romantic moments and says that the King wants to see Geralt. Apparently there's a battle going on. I step out of the tent and the game looks so much better than the first and the music is just as great as the first one. Geralt walks around the camp exploring and meets these three bandit looking men called Reavers. They speak to Geralt about their past working together and mention there newest recruit simply called Newboy. Apparently he has a stolen amulet that is supposedly magical and grants the wearer protection. Geralt checks the amulet and it is indeed magical but not in a good way. It brings danger according to what the Reavers say since they first stole it. They gave Geralt the amulet.

Explored some more eventually found the King who looks much better. Apparently the battle is against a former lover and securing his illegitimate offspring. They walk around the camp talking and eventually the battle starts. Everything goes well, but later on the really armored knights gave me trouble. Anyway we fight all the way to the temple, along the way we meet the Baroness son and Geralt convinces him to stand down. Geralt and the King meet up with Vernon Roche I think at this time Triss is with them. The make their way to the temple where the King's children are and are attacked by a dragon. They escape the dragons fire and make it to the temple. Inside they meet someone from Geralt's past he talks some trash to both Geralt and the King. Geralt punches him and is told where the children are. The children are with a priest. Geralt stands by the window while the King is reunited with his children. As the children leave and Foltest walks away the blind priest is actually the assassin that killed the other King. Geralt suspects something but this time he is too late and Foltest was slain. The assassin escapes and Geralt is arrested.

Satisfied with Geralt's story Vernon Roche leaves a key on the table for Geralt. Before leaving Vernon tells Geralt about the report of how he died. Apparently he was with another sorceress who's name I don't remember, and they both were killed defending nonhumans and recovered and their bodies. Geralt says he remembered that event but nothing else. Later on Geralt is shackled and he taunts a guard into a fight the guard walks in, Geralt frees himself and kills both guards. Now he makes his way out of the dungeon along the way he meets the Baroness son. Geralt escorts him to an oil room and opens a secret passage. He tells Geralt to go on that he will stay behind. Geralt leaves and down the hall hears an explosion. The baroness's son sacrificed himself. Outside he meets up with Newboy who's guard. He tells Geralt how grateful he is for his warning, and makes a distraction allowing Geralt to get on a ship with Vernon and Triss. On their voyage Geralt asks questions about his past and the mysterious sorceress he was with when he died. They make it to a forest and meet the leader of this unit of Scoia'tael called Iorveth, after some back and forth between he and Geralt. Iorveth orders his unit to attacked. Triss puts up a barrier which exhausts her, and they all make their way to Flotsam. This is where I stopped for now. Later tonight I'll play some more.

I would help but I am currently using the 'Extra Talents per Level' mod, which adds two extra talents, so that way I have three talents per level.  The only other mod I'm using is a mod that gives Geralt his white hair.  Because when I played the tutorial yesterday I noticed his hair was grey and this bugged me lol.

Hey I have a question is there any way to cap the FPS in the game? Mine is going nuts (250+ at times) even though I have FPS capped at 100 on my GPU which has worked in every other game I have since I have had it.

What graphics card are you using?  If you are using Nvidia you should be able to set it in the Nvidia Control Panel.

I don't remember the Butcher part, maybe they said it during one of my all nighters which would explain it. When I first finished Mass Effect 3 10 months ago it was 4am in the morning, and when that star child gives you a choice for an ending I only heard one. It wasn't until I read on these forums that there were in fact three endings, but since I was tired I only heard one lol.

I have a GTX1070ti but I have already set the FPS in the control panel to 100max. that's why I don't understand why TW1 is hitting over 350+ at times.

Hey another question I just got everything I want from the Genie and uninstalled that but started to install the other mods I wanted using the Witcher Overhaul MOD then was going to do the Item Stacking MOD but it says never to have MOD folders in your override folder yet I have always done that.

Does this mean when it installs the folders I need to copy all the files in the folders it installs to the Override folder instead of in the folders the mod itself installed?

Thanks I thought I had set a global setting to 100FPS but hadn't I also thought V-Synch was on in 3D settings but it wasn't but nearly always turn it on in game which I had for TW1. 

Thanks re the MOD Folder info.

350fps…?

Now I’m tempted to install TW1 and see what my 2080ti can crank out.

Cheers I got the Genie MOD working before I installed any other Mods then deleted it and installed my other MODS. Got everything the Genie had to offer including 10,000 Orrens. 

Since the Witcher 1 was created on the old Aurora Engine by BioWare, installing mods follows the same guidelines as any of the old BioWare games.  Meaning most if not all of a mods files goes into the Override folder.  Can you post a list of the mods you are using?  You can either post it here or DM me.
