Does anyone know if any gear from Witcher 2 saves carry over? Would be nice if they did.
It won't. in the last official gameplay stream they stated that there are tons of new equipment and armors in TW3 and there won't be any equipment import form the previous game.Does anyone know if any gear from Witcher 2 saves carry over? Would be nice if they did.
Just put your saves in the default location (C:\Users\[Your window's account name]\Documents\The Witcher 2) and all should work fine. this was exactly the case when importing TW1 saves to TW2.Sorry if this is really obvious, but I'm assuming we have to install the Witcher 2 with our save game files and TW3 will just locate them that way?
But i'll have to reinstall the Witcher 2 in full for that to work I assume? I can't just make a folder in C:\Users\[Your window's account name]\Documents\ and call it "The Witcher 2", add a "saves" folder and put my save game files that I've kept from when I played, I'm assuming that wouldn't work.It won't. in the last official gameplay stream they stated that there are tons of new equipment and armors in TW3 and there won't be any equipment import form the previous game.
That should work though, tbh it would be strange for it not to.But i'll have to reinstall the Witcher 2 in full for that to work I assume?

I have finished the game two times, one time helping iorveth and one time helping vernon.So according to several people on Neogaf forums the following questions are asked in game on non-imported saves:
Killed Aryan at the siege in the prologue or let him liveJoined Vernon or IorvethHelped Vernon/Iorveth or Triss at the endKilled/Saved SileKilled/Didn't kill Letho
We currently do not know what, if anything extra is added from imported saves.
Just what I was saying earlier:I have finished the game two times, one time helping iorveth and one time helping vernon.
what decision it will take from my savegame?
I'm tempted to not load my old savegame to let me choose what is the real decision I want.
Okay, I've done that in C:/Users\AccountName\Documents. I've then made a folder called "The Witcher 2" and so I then make another folder inside that called "gamesaves" and then another folder called "saves" (but it can be named anything). If that's all correct, I have a question on the files themselves, I've copied 392 bitmap and sav files, I'm assuming I don't need to add all of them to the save folder? If so, which do I copy and paste, the last before the game ended?That should work though, tbh it would be strange for it not to.
Technically it's Documents=Witcher 2=gamesaves=somethingsave.sav
Are we sure that if we don't import save game the game will ask all things and we don't loose any additional content?Just what I was saying earlier:
The game could potentially import the wrong save file or it might simply bug out and you will only realise that after you encounter specific dialogues or NPCs in-game after playing for potentially dozens of hours. It happened to a lot of people with Dragon Age Keep, so I definitely wouldn't want to have to start the game again from the beginning due to a save import bug!

I don't remember which is the save game whereWitcher 2 asked which file you wanted to use, so i suppose this game will too...
No we can't say with 100% certainty that is the case. However, logically it makes perfect sense. If something important was in the saved game where it could impact an ending in W3 then they would have created a question for it. Else all the XBox, PS4 and many new PC users would be screwed out of some possible endings.Are we sure that if we don't import save game the game will ask all things and we don't loose any additional content?

No the .sav goes in the gamesaves, you should not have a folder names saves inside the gamesaves.Okay, I've done that in C:/Users\AccountName\Documents.
