* MonsterAndTheMaiden: Seems to be the case with the elf [[ArcherArchetype Iorveth]] and the human leader of the Aedirnian resistance [[JeanneDArchetype Saskia]]. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted, when we find out that Saskia was actually a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon taking a human form]].]]

* FanDisservice: There's an OptionalSexualEncounter. A nice romantic bath with soft lighting and lots of roses all around, a [[HeroesWantRedheads gorgeous redhead]], a really cool stripping scene... followed immediately, just so you don't get ''too'' excited, by a close-up shot of a corpse with flies buzzing around it... of course then it cuts back to the love making.

* BonusBoss:
** [[spoiler:Letho]] is entirely optional.
** The Vran creation known as ''the Operator'', should you manage to complete the "From a Bygone Era" quest in Chapter 3. He's extraordinarily difficult, becoming invincible after he takes a certain amount of damage and summoning incredibly powerful gargoyles.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Many of the human peasants in Vergen. They claim that want a land without kings and where all people are equal. All people, that is, except for nonhumans, who should just get their own "nonhuman land." Even after you hear those racist comments it's still the most tolerant city you'll see in the Witcher 2, which goes a long way in showing how bad things are elsewhere.

* GlassCannon: Equipping the Dark Mode Outfits turn Geralt into this. He can diss out absurd amount of damage but normal enemy still hit you for a third of your health bar and bosses' can outright OneHitKill you.

* GuideDangIt: It's not possible to completely finish the quest "From a Bygone Era" in Act 3, unless you decide to search a certain unassuming wooden shack near the Kaedweni camp in Chapter 2, and even then you need to know that the barrels behind it hide a cellar entrance. This is especially difficult to those who choose Iorveth's path, since this is the only thing of any interest on the other side of the wraith-mist apart from the main quest, and is possible to completely miss even if you take your time looking around the area you can never return after completing your objective there.

* PublicExecution: One mission involves a number of people about to be [[HangingAround hanged]], including [[DistressedDude Dandelion]]- whereas most of the condemned were being executed for collusion with the Scoie’atel, Dandelion is on the gallows for debauchery. Geralt’s goal is to save Dandelion from the rope, getting into a fistfight with the guard in the process. Should he beat the guard, Dandelion will be set free, but the rest will dangle. But if the player should somehow lose the fistfight, the result is a NonStandardGameOver, in which Geralt will be strung up as well.

* OutcastRefuge: The Pontar Valley, a territory disputed by both Kaedwyn and Aedirn, is de facto ruled by a collection of dwarves, elves and human peasants who want autonomy from both nations. With non-humans being discriminated against in most of the Northern Kingdoms, the Pontar Valley has been turned into a safe haven for them to live in relative freedom.

* OldSaveBonus: Importing a save from first game can give you better starting equipment, and various characters will reference choices you made in the last game (the decisions carried on from the previous game are whether you romanced Triss or Shani, [[spoiler:princess Adda's fate]], and the faction -- or lack of -- you supported in the late part of the game). For instance, if you supported the Order of the Flaming Rose in Witcher 1, you can have a brief, but friendly conversation with Grand Master Siegfried in ''The Witcher II'', chapter 3. If you romanced Shani in the first game, you'll start the ''Enhanced Edition'' of ''The Witcher II'' with a journal entry telling about Geralt and Shani's short lived relationship and eventual break-up (to justify Geralt dating Triss anyway at the start of ''The Witcher II'').
