Where is the quest with the operator on Iorveth's path in chapter 3? Did it have to start in chapter 2??

Does the Arena always start you off with everything on reset?? You don't get to transfer over your new items and stuff from your game save?

Am I the only one that found those wraiths in the hospital annoying? Died so many times I actually laughed at how easily I died sometimes. I even used specter oil. I was so happy when I finished that quest I didn't even think twice about feeding those guys to the ghost at the end. It was a good way to vent.

So glad the troll gave up when it was half dead, I didn't want to kill him but I needed to progress the quest. Chorab wasn't so helpful.

Just started my first new game, I wanted to know which skill tree to upgrade more. Would the magic one be better in terms of using signs during combat or the alchemy tree. Kind of new on the alchemy stuff tho, so I might not be taking full advantage of it even if I chose that tree. Any suggestions??
