All missable quests/Activities to be weary of?

[Prenihility]

Alright. I love The Witcher but I also hate this one thing about games like this. Missable quests and activities. I don't want to miss anything. I started chapter 2 and got out of the sewers and had to load an earlier save from BEFORE I saved Abigail and slayed The Beast. I didn't pick up Brogg's package. Now i've got it. I read that The Rat can be missed if you go to the Detective before talking to Coleman. Anything else like this? I'd like flags for things like this.

And honestly, I'm a little paranoid and hesitant to go out and do whatever in whichever order. I stumbled into the swamps now in Chapter 2 and I love the environment. But i'm scared it'll trigger some things I shouldn't have come across yet. Might sound silly, but this game has quite a lot of content.

Suggestions? Advice?

Best advice I can give is just to be really careful and keep multiple saves. There's not that much risk of spoiling things in the swamps, as most of Chapter 2's major events occur in Vizima.

Well i'm talking about the game in general. The entire game, not just Vizima.

In that case, save often, make multiple saves, and take notes about each save. That way, you'll have a rough idea about what's going on and how things are changing each time you save, so if you think you might have missed something, you'll be able to go back to earlier saves until you find one you like.

In the folder in which the game is installed you will find a pdf called WitcherEE Guide US, which is an official game guide containing all the quests and directives and is relatively spoiler free. You can use as a quests checklist.

I have the disc version, so that's probably why I can't find it.

Turn in the Swamp missions for Yvael (or something) the dwarf asap,
Do the chapter 4 bread and caterpillar quests before killing Dagon.

Don't miss going inside the blacksmith's house at Murky Waters to talk to his wife for a quest.

I'm at Chapter III FINALLY.

Anything I should worry about there?

This is why people that brag about beating the game in 30 hours miss things...if you find stuff yourself it's far more rewarding.

Make sure you go Siegfried's missing people quest and Yaevinn's elf ruins quest before the Salamandra stuff or there will be a point where you're locked out of them both.

I'm doing this more so I DON'T MISS THINGS, as i've said. At what point did I say I wanted to beat the game as quickly as possible? I love taking my time with it and i'm enjoying the hell out of it. If it takes me until Halloween to get to Witcher 2, then awesome.

Ok, will do.

Also I hope you kept a Barghest skull from Chapter I for the dentist.

I've got like... 20. :D

I don't know what to do with and how to offload extra junk. Like who even buys the skulls or who buys excess potion materials and whatnot.

Also. I take it the performance in the Trade Quarter marketplace is just lower for EVERYONE? Just one of those things? Like in Bethesda games? Because I figured as much. On a modern system, this game is nothing...

Kalkstein buys ingredients he's in the Swamp Tower in Chapter 3, the dwarf antiquary buys books and the jewelry merchant buys jewelry and gifts, they're both in the slums, there's a weapons dealer in the trade quarter that you can offload weapons to regardless of your faction allegiance, and don't forget you can offload stuff at any tavern

A lot more NPC's in view then the slums so it's a bit rougher, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Check your directory where you saved the Witcher game for "goodies" along which you'll find a game guide which lists all the quests.

Exploration is key here, and personally, I like these kind of games which reward you and respect you as opposed to modern day games like AC and Watchdogs which hold your hand the entire way. The replayability factor is high this way, which suits my style.

Cheers.
