Most of my time in this session has been spent walking around the temple district of Vizima and talking to people, trying to track down anyone involved with the Salamandra. This is something a lot of modern RPGs are badly missing. I managed to actually get two levels of experience just by talking to people and solving quests that way.
I ended up talking to most people outside of the slums and getting plenty of quests I’ll be able to do later. Pretty soon, the day was over, which meant I could spend most of the night killing stray dogs. It’s not something I’d do in real life, but hey, there was a quest for it and Geralt really doesn’t seem the type who would take pity on a dog. It’s role playing, after all, which means I’m supposed to play a role that isn’t me.I went to a local private detective who pointed me in the direction of several notable people in the district. Most of them had minor dealings with the Salamandra, but nothing that would actually indicate they worked with the organization.
Once the day finally came back, I got some information which indicated Kalkstein might be involved with the Salamandra, so I decided to go talk to him. On the way there, I stopped by the merchants to sell excess loot and then the game crashed on me.
It seems the Enhanced Edition isn’t completely patched yet.
