Please allow to reset that setting up to the point where it is relevant.

I like many other was not sure what the setting meant. Now I am at the location where it matters and I realize that I want to have it changed to "off". If you use google to see that many players have the same problem in one or the other direction. I don't want to start a new game.

I would like to load before the relevant scene (where you get all the questions) and change the setting to "off". Others want to have it in the other direction.

I looked at the save game with a hex-editor, but no chance to fix that manually for me....

Give us some help please. E.g. a hint about how this is saved in the file so some computer wizard can create a fix-it tool.

Or tell us what the decisions are that "simulate off" takes to that we can know if we are happy with that or can emulate that.

Regards by me, one of the thousands that did not understand the on/off option correctly

Why would you need a reset? You can choose yes on a new game, then after the prologue you choose what happened. Seems simple enough to me. If you are already 30 hours in on the game and didn't pick yes, then go make a new character if it matters that much. Of course you could realize you are already having a fun time, enough to spend that many hours on.

I already spend a lot of time in the prologue (doing everything and looting everything). So I needed over 10 hours for the prologue. My later games will never be to that perfection.

But I think I solved it:
- Open save game with hex-editor. Search for 'simulate_imp', then override that string e.g. to 'xxmulate_xxp'
- Seems to work for me, questions section does not occur if I load this save game. (I hope this does not break the game at other locations.)

Edit: Just to be clear: this let's you change from "simulate on" to "simulate off". The other direction is much harder...

Err, so what does "simulate" do if turned on? Still don't know.

With "on" you get a dialog after the prologue where you answer what you did in witcher 2. But I wanted to get "standard" witcher 3. So I did not want to answer these questions because we don't know how you have to answer to get "standard" witcher 3.

E.g. you must say if you killed Letho and other characters. So Letho will live if you say you did not kill him.

Interesting. Thanks. Who does the dialogue?

While you get shaved, before you meet that important guy. The 2nd guy (army guy?) in the room asks you.

If you have "simulate off" he just asks a single question that has nothing to do with Witcher 2 (don't even remember what it was, but he kind of says "now that you have a knife at your throat is a good time to ask XY"). With "simulate on" you get a bunch of questions about Witcher 2.

Edit: I think with "simulate off" he asks what happened to his men...

yeah i didnt get to do this either, maybe i used the wrong save file, but the whole reason i had to start 2 in the first place is the question at the beginning can be interpreted either way. so +1 to this i hope CDPR lets us hack the game/alter it so we have the proper responses set up...

Bumping this as I have the same issue :( Clicked the wrong option at the start and now have just completed the prologue. Don't want to restart as I was very thorough in the prologue and explored and did everything.

I can't seem to find the simulate_imp option that the user above writes about, using a hex editor. What specific hex editor did you use? Thanks...
