And potions well... in the end also I did not bother to produce more than the basic three..., Swallow, the one which improved the energy (don't know the English translation, it was Owl in Polish) and Withe Mead... Why bother with so many potions when you can only drink three at most? OK, Cat also was useful in some locations, but hell, what is gamma correction for?
Anyway, I am replaying it now to check other dialogue options, to chek if the gam is really non-linear as they claim. And the video at the end was really worth watchig, BTW

BTW, what is the name of the bard, Geralt's fried, in English version? In Polish his name literally means the yellow flower "buttercup" and I am quite curious what did they do with this quite tricky translation.

Deleted the game, by the way. I've grown tired of the loading screens. And the faffing about in the swamp. It's just... boring. I think I'll get back to good ol' Gothic 2.

I agree with the name. It's rather flamboyant, but he is a minstrel. As for deleting it, your loss I guess. I've never played any of the Gothic games, but I picked up a copy of the third one for $20. I'll get around to playing it soon enough.

To be on-topic, the combat is almost as quirky in that game as in The Witcher.

Maybe I'll get around to the Witcher at some point soon.

BTW Sime, did you manage to turn the Striga into princess or is it totally impossible? I tried not to kill it and spend the night meditating in the dungeons, seemed to have no effect whatsoever, so I get tired and killed her.. But maybe there is a way to lift the spell.
Also, At the very beginning of the game I followed Vesemir to kill the monster, not Triss to the laboratory.. Seems to have rather interesting effect quite early in the game, I recommend to try it.

The Striga thing is a pain, as it's not explained too well. When they say spend the night near her sarcophagus, they don't mean just in the crypt, but in that actual room with the thing. You have to wait until about midnight, then walk into her room. She'll attack you. I recommend downing a tawny owl and using aard to keep her off her feet. As you run around the room, the candles on the sarcophagus start going out. When the last one goes out, she reverts to human form. If you leave the room, the candles all relight. One good thing is, whilst you're in the room time goes faster, so you don't have to wait the full 30 minutes from 12:00 to 6:00.
