had a quick go and was rather annoyed by how pointless importing a save is. imported a save game where Geralt sided with the Scoia'tael and chose Shani yet the game starts with him in bed with Triss and a few bits of dialogue suggest he's on less than friendly terms with the Scoia'tael...
I knew already that Shani wasn't in the game (which was disappointing enough) but expected at least some acknowledgement of the choices
so anyway I decided to put Witcher 2 aside for now and replay Witcher 1 choosing Triss and Neutral so it fits better with the bloody damned 'cannon'
