Thiefgasm.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Typical Inferno experience:
There isn't a picture for reloading a game when you have a mob of invulnerable minions arcane enchanted jailor fire chains scavengers in the entrance of a main quest dungeon, sadly.
Also, let me save you some time:

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Just finished 'Witcher 2.'
Overall, I really liked it, but I'd like to know if I could have made the ending a bit less... negative. I felt like I was making all the right choices through the game, but ended up having to kill

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

That's in theme with the books, I'd say. No perfect solutions.

Yeah, I've got no problem with the way it finished, I just wondered if I'd made different decisions I could have made a better outcome? I followed Iorveths path, I let Henselt and the other King/Prince live, and I chose Triss over Saskia. Oh, and then I killed Letho. If I had let Saskia live instead, would Triss have been kiled?
I mean, I liked it, but I'm not sure about playing through again just to see, especially if the outcome would be the same.

Well, shiit. I might just have to reload and do the alternative ending then, cheers.

Out of curiosity do you have the vanilla version or the Enhanced Edition?

It's the Enhanced Edition. I just reloaded a save, and finished the game again having saved Saskia. it turned out better really, as Iorveth made it too. i'm still annoyed that by taking Iorveths path earlier on meant that Loredo got away though.
I mean, choose to catch him, and let the women burn in the tower; or save the women, and let him get away... that's harsh. I saved the women, but ulitmately he kicked out all the non-humans, and sold the town to the Kaedwani.

Yeah, that's the one bit where Roche's path seems better. This, and Act III
Having done a Iorveth playthrough, though, I don't think I could go back. The story is just much richer, the contract is better, and the Succubus beats the crap out of the ghosts in terms of sidequesting goodness.
