Hello everybody,
so I recently started my third playthrough, and there seems something wrong with the way schematics are handled.
My first playthrough, everything was normal.
My second playthrough, I noticed the schmatic for Caerme in my inventory after the prologue. I also found a "robust red meteorite sword" schematic - might be that this is possible/intended for Act 3 and I just got lucky, but I would expect not.

Now on my third playthrough, the basic silver sword schematic is missing after the prologue. Instead, the game seems to have spawned an excellent leather pants schematic - nice, but this is counterproductive, as without pants I could at least flail the monsters to death with Geralt's humongous balls...

Well, anyway, I am pretty sure this is not supposed to happen. So:

-Has anybody else noticed this bug?

-And does anyone know of a good way to obtain a silver sword schematic in Act I? I know I get one after killing all nekker nests and endrega queens. But that is a tad difficult without a silver sword.
Funny you should mention something like this. I just finished the prologue last night, for the fourth time.

In the camp, I had on Raven's armour. I noticed a bit later that at some point, I had switched into the Blue Stripes armour, mage pants and alchemist gloves. I wasn't wearing all that in the beginning.

Also noticed that the books I picked up in the houses outside the castle were no longer there this time. I got one book this playthrough and about four the last time.

Books drop randomly i think, for example i came upon one book in olcan's quarters one time and after loading a save which was from a few minutes ago, this time i found 2 books.

You are right, you shouldn't come upon caerme diagram before chapter 3 as there is only one caerme diagram in the game and that is quite a bit hard to get.

Haven't noticed the bug myself, but if you need a silver sword early one. I think there are 2 schematics:
a) the first one can be found once you landed at Flotsam with Roche. It is in one of the boxes/chest (I don't remember which).
b) the second one (I think it is a robust silver sword) can be found in the storage quarters when sneaking around in Loredo's residence.
This is my second playthrough, and I'm irked that my "new game" Geralt is carrying the encrypted manuscript on his belt from the very beginning of the game (I didn't manage to pick up all of the ingredients, so never got the Caeme sword in my first play).

Now I'm worried whether I'll get the Caeme quest at all ... plus I'm just annoyed seeing that book when Geralt should it have it at this point in the game. :P. Anyone know why this is happening? Is it a bug? Is there anyway to drop the bloody thing and get it later in the game when I'm supposed to?
