Am I right that you want to import a Witcher 2 savegame?

Importing saves via GoG.com / Galaxy

If players went through the previous Witcher games on the GoG.com platform, their saves should automatically be detected when beginning a new game in The Witcher 3. If, however, the Witcher or Witcher 2 were played on Steam, those save files will need to be manually transferred to a file location that GoG / Galaxy can register.

Steam saves are typically located in:

[Root]: \ Users \ [Username] \ My Documents \ The Witcher 2

Copy these files, then transfer them to whichever drive you have your GoG games installed to, then into the Witcher 3 folder. Typically, this is:

[Root]: \ GoG Games \ The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

Once the files have been copied, re-load the game and you should see an "Import Witcher 2 Save" when starting a new game.

If this doesn't work read this:

Q.: I cannot import my saves from The Witcher 2, even though the save games are there.
A.: Certain games (TW3 included) cannot handle special characters such as diacritics in your username, so what we do is:

1. Create a new user with administrator privileges
2. Import save on that user
3. Save the game
4. Move the saves folder back your default user directory

Good luck!

Why bother? Seriously, why even bother? There are only a few plot points even considered and they have almost no impact. Unless you really want that TW2 tattoo just answer the short questions posed to you after you leave White Orchard.

Is this for the achievement? What is the reason you want to do it?
