Where to put The Witcher 1 saves on Mac so that they can be imported to The Witcher 2?
I have finished The Witcher 1 on PC a few years back and still have my final save I would like to import to the sequel. Now I'm playing The Witcher 2 on Mac, version downloaded from GOG.
Where should I put my Witcher 1 save so that it can be imported?
Best Answer
The above directions are correct, for the MAC, as of around 2012 (these are my files). In 2014 however, using The Witcher from Steam, the location of saved files is "~/Library/Application Support/com.cdprojektred.TheWitcher/GameDocuments/The Witcher/Saves/".
For The Witcher 2, i.e., the place to copy the saved W1 file into, the location is "~/Library/Application Support/com.vpltd.THeWitcher2/GameDocuments/Witcher 2/gamesaves/".

Importing a save is nice, but it's not that important. My imported save gave me the Aerondight as a starting silver sword which isn't that great in Witcher 2 (it just saves you from having to craft a silver sword early on in Chapter 1). IIRC it may also give you slightly better armor.Where do I put Witcher 2 saves?

Something I wasn't getting was that your Witcher 1 saves must be copied into the default Witcher 2 save file location.

For the Macbooks. If you can't find the folders with the search bar: 1. Open a Finder window. 2. Press "Go" at the top. 3. Go down to "Go to Folder..." 4. Paste Folder Directory in the space and OK.
