    Anyone else think it's crazy the game gives you such overpowered item from the DLC and Import? I imported my TW save and got, from what I hear, The best Jacket, Steel, Silver Swords.

    the only thing really OP is the herbalist gloves, which gives you x2 ingredients when you harvest something. I NEVER ran out of regents. I even made 50 zerrikerian sun bombs or w/e :P

    @SmashedControllers: they aren't that powerful if your talking about the Raven Armor and Aerondight silver sword, etc.     They get replaced pretty fast and  they are only a minor upgrade over normal starting armor.

    It cant be as bad as Dragon Age 2, where the DLC items will carry you right up to the end.

    yah i imported that g'valchir too, they will be too weak in chapter 1 where you will find significant upgrades.   The raven jacket will probably last alot longer if you don't craft anything to replace it.

    Items from The Witcher will only last you until the end of Chapter I. That being said, I had Mage's trousers until I got the best trousers in the game.
     

     
    But yeah, the time intervals where you receive upgrades for armor (Chest pieces are excluded from this, I think they're very well done) is kind of ridiculous. You have to roll with the same gloves/trousers/boots for the most of the game and then right before the very end you get the best items. Unless I am missing significant details here.

    The only thing "overpowered" in Witcher 2 is Quen. <3 Quen.

    They will only last to about halfway into Chapter 1 before they become obsolete. And you can always choose not to use them if you really don't want to.

    No, they are not that powerful and get replaced partway through the first chapter.

    The joke is that there is no shortage of ingredients in the first place.

    There are several small gloves/boots/trousers upgrades throughout the game.

    The worst part is that you make the best armour/weapons, and pretty much never get to use them.

    I thought I'm gonna spend a lot of time in the darkness so I put some herbalist gloves on and searched for ingredients. Now I've got like 30 of cat potions. :|
