Finally finished the game, really pleased with how it all wrapped up even if I think I got a 'bad' ending.

One thing I was curious about is if Joachim von Gratz appears at all in other Witcher stories? I know he's not in the Witcher 2, and I assume not in the first either, but what about the books?

He's such an interesting character I wish there was more to learn about him. It'll never happen but a game where you go about practicing Preventive Medicine would be cool, anything to spend more time in that world.

Also, not related to him, but I'm pretty sure I missed out on the chance to romance Triss simply because I didn't kiss her during that masquerade party. And as much as I wish I could've I'm okay with that. My Geralt ain't gonna mack on drunk girls.

Yeah I really liked Joachim and that questline a lot as well. I don't believe he's in any of the books though. God this game is so good.

I also finished the game a couple days ago and I don't even remember this character...goes to show how much certain quests just stick with people.
