The one that lurks in the corner saying he has a "holy relic he doesn't understand". Offers to let you have it if you beat him at poker dice but when you do beat him he still says "sorri tuf TT, u iz nut lukky enuf".

I'm currently winning him 7 - 3, but he still won't give up that "relic".

Just how do you get him to hand it over. (Shame the game disallows the extreme violence tactic in this location!)

It used to be a promo that redirected to a website with discounts on GOG. It doesn't do anything anymore.

Ah I see! By rights CDPR should have removed it IMO, but hey, he's not doing any harm neither! Except waste me an hour or so and a few orens!
All of us who have played The Witcher 2 long after its release go through this slight disappointment I guess. If I had been in CDPR's place, I would have replaced the reward by an item that could pass as a "relic", maybe a runestone.

Surprised me when I saw it was released as far back as 2012. Thought it later than that. The PC I had at the time in 2012 was no potato back then (though it would be now) would not have run this well even on minimal settings. The Acer Predator I had next couldn't run it well on even medium settings and was a slideshow on high settings. That was meant to be a mid-level gaming PC 2014 era! That was well above the recommended specs shown on the store page, and ran this game like crap!
At least the new PC I got a few months back can at maximum!

PS/ The Acer died whilst playing this game. Right in a cutscene at the start of Chapter 2 when a bright magical yellow flash effect occurs. The harddrive popped!

You just had to disable supersampling or something like that to have a huge fps in an old gpu, current PC can run it without problem but when it was first release it was a big performance lost if you let it enable.

If I recall right, turning that supersampling off was but just one reduction I needed to get a decent frame rate.
Shadow detail had to go for certain. Many of those eye candy "bloom" and "antialias" effects also. Dropping the resolution down from 1920x1280 also. Had to do quite a few things to get what seemed liked 40fps or more. Everything on full was about 3fps. That was with an i7-4770 CPU and GTX 745 GPU (which was already six year old and well used - was probably worn and on it's way out - but the HD beat it to it!)
