Yeah it was mentioned against in Book 7 too.
To confuse people, lets go to Camelot and see Merlin.

Regarding the save import, does anyone know if there's any (or how much) previous decision elements that are missed if you 'generate' a witcher 2 save. Decisions like if you saved X from the Striga in Witcher 1, or if you made a number of other decisions in W2 that aren't part of the 4 or 5 main questions from the in game generator.
I know with ME 3 there was a number of little meetings and occurrences that only popped up if you did the quests in ME1 or ME2 and imported a save. They either didn't show up in 3 or were set automatically to a certain disposition.
I had a just about perfect 'Witcher 2' end, where I did 1 in Neutral and did pretty much a complete playthrough and then had a Iorveth W2 playthrough but it was lost in the early days of steam clouds. Wondering if I should track down my W1 save and do a W2 run through before going full into this one.

I'm pretty dissapointed in the lack of graphics settings, they keybind thing I can live with but I never thought CDPR would do that. Seems like another case of playing to the consoles again. The crash/freezing issues prevail however. Last night I managed to keep it running for a couple hours with the driver set to "Prefer max quality setting", thought I'm thinking it's less likely a video driver problem. It's a very common problem from the look of the steam forum and CDPR forum.
Overall I kind of expected the game to look and run better, granted the 2nd map is pretty big with many places to explore, but it does only look like a slightly modified Witcher2. I'm enjoying the story though.

From my research so far the game does NOT handle overclocks well at all. I pushed my 970 down to stock nVidia levels and played for 4 hours straight last night without a single crash. Compare that to last night where I had 3 or 4 crashes/lock ups.
If you do some googling/reddit you can see other people are coming to the same conclusion. I dont really understand why this is the case as it doesnt make sense logically on any level...but whatever, it worked for me.
I've been a big RPG fan since the early days of Wizardry, Ultima, Bard's Tale etc etc and I've yet to play a Witcher game. I think I tried to play it once but couldn't figure out the controls and just gave up on it. I've always heard such good things about the series so I'll definitely have to check it out one of these days.
Haven't started playing yet, despite this being the only game(/series) I've been truly interested in the past few years. Figured I should get my CPU OC in order first.
I have, however, been seeing useful links for the game making their rounds on various forums:
Graphical editing via ini
-Link to info
-Results here
AMD CCC tessellation tweaking to activate Hairworks with a smaller performance hit
http://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/comments/36jpe9/how_to_run_hairworks_on_amd_cards_without/
Also note there is an ini setting for anti-aliasing that can be tweaked for further optimization for everyone (not just AMD) if you are having performance difficulties. Some people seem very angry at the poor Kepler (and earlier) performance compared to even mid-range Maxwell cards. I suspect Nvidia will want to sort this out rather quickly.
The first game is very difficult to get into, and incredibly dry until you get halfway through the first little hamlet you encounter. It picks up significantly after that. It took me 3 - 4 separate attempts to get that far, and I've been in love with the series ever since. The combat system is drastically different in the second game, but still a source of annoyance for many people.

I have played the game off and on most of the afternoon/evening yesterday and never ran into a single crash. Mind you I am running at stock on my 980 so that may be why (Sagath mentioned stability running stock). I am playing on Death March difficulty and just killed the Griffon....man was that one hell of a fight. Had to do it a few times and you really need to throw EVERYTHING at it to kill it. I even changed around what my two current active abilities were in order to be able to have the Quen shield up since that thing can drop you in two hits.
I never had any issues getting into the first game though different strokes for different folks. The thing that a lot of people did not like about the Witcher 1 combat is that you have to 'time' your attacks in order to go combo'ed attacks that do more damage. In Witcher 2 (and 3) they went away from this.

I think it's important to remember that driver updates can sometimes push hardware a bit further and subsequently break previously stable OCs. I would imagine most people swapped over to the latest Nvidia driver available. This is in addition to games that push hardware breaking what was previously thought as a stable OC... and if course it's just plain inefficiencies or glitches in a particular game engine.
That click fest in Witcher 1 is horribly banal when Geralt has absolutely no moves at the beginning of the game. Once you start gaining new attacks and switch between swords depending on enemy the game opens up. The story begins to reveal itself by that point as well...
I've enjoyed the combat style of both 1 and 2. I'm sure 3 is a more refined version of 2, so I'll enjoy it too!

For the record I have nothing overclocked, 970 at stock, cpu is a 3570k at stock speeds. I did install the new driver before running the game first time, in fact GTAV felt like it ran much smoother with this Witcher driver, but I did notice that my idle temp for the 970 was higher after using this driver and it took alot longer to come down with extra fans in the room. I'm going to revert to the previous GTAV driver and try W3 again.
@Nodscene, you should grab the first two Witchers next time they're on sale, and blow through them on easy mode just for the story alone. By then the third game will be going on sale and you can complete the story. From the little bit I've seen of this one there's alot of references from the other games.

The game does run my GPU crazy hot. Saw 44C on my 980 yesterday! That is the highest it has ever seen.
The only crashes I get are the occasional lockup while in inventory. Setting to 'Power management mode' in Nvidia Control Panel to maximum for the game seems to help. Only locked up once in the inventory all evening yesterday.
I see no reason to start modding the appearance of the game. I think it looks pretty good. I get 75 - 95 FPS almost steady and for that low-ish (to me) frame rate it still looks very fluid. Even most hair w/ Nvidia hair off looks better than any other game.
