C17: Obviously you are misinformed of the gameplay mechanics of the Witcher series. The silver sword is for monsters only. Ready the books, play the games... its all the same.
bet i could bludgeon you to death with a silver sword faster then with a butter knife

Lore and Books won't fix that it doesn't make sense when applied to humans. The silver sword is only not used against humans in the books because its rare and precious. Not because it wouldn't do the same damage.

Sidenote: I haven't actually read the books, i just hope thats the reason ,p

You do? Mhmhmnhmnhhh.... I am fairly certain in my playthrough Alvin is alive. You do kill the grandmaster of the order with it though.

Yes, maybe because the silver sword is used to kill creatures of magic...

then why does it not work on... you know.. mages

silver does not react to magic, the monsters you kill are not magic.

I don't know, it could have something to do with the Source. And his ability to use it without any training.

Potentially.

!!Spoilers!!


Alvin and The Grandmaster.

Also most monsters are touched by or products of magic.

Fayth: Once all the game breaking bugs/issues are fixed, they really need to start working on implementing a small crosshair like the one that was present in TW1. The current system is so inaccurate and annoying. I can't count how many times I've initiated dialogue with the person standing next to the person I want to talk to.

And when I say implementing the crosshair, I also want the ability to hold a key that shows the names of everything above them, like in TW1. Hell, crosshair for combat instead of auto target pick would be nice as well.
Agreed. I was asking about this pre-launch and never got a response from the devs. Looting is a hassle.

The Grandmaster IS Alvin.
To be honest a Silver sword will probably bent under such stress. Too Maleable.

the sword is not fully made of silver, it has a steel core. (at-least that's what it says in TW1 when you do the quest that you get for getting the first silver sword)
