Hello! This is not working for me. Can anyone explain how it is done with more details? I may be doing something wrong. I am no expert in these kinds of things..
This is a nice bug fix. I'd suggest you to make another file without the additional XP reward for those who want a more vanilla bug-free experience as commented earlier by you. Making both the files available would be great.
I installed the .w2phase file in the CookPC directory, but it's still not giving me the additional dialog option with having the real formula, any thoughts?
Hi, This is from the official Witcher Wiki https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/The_Scent_of_Incense
Minor spoiler alert. ------------------------------------------------------ If the formula was real, then the alchemist offers him the reward from him thus completing the quest and Geralt can leave things at that, or Geralt can bring up the fact that he recalls exactly what Bleinheim did in Vizima and kill Pugg and the guards (There appears to be a bug in this part of the quest. For unknown reasons Geralt is not given the option to kill Pugg and the guards if he has given him the real formula and was *not* blindfolded. However, one can still choose to kill Pugg and the guards in this situation simply by drawing your weapon at that point. The guards will attack and all, including Pugg, can be slain). ------------------------------------------------------
In this particular branch of the quest, if you decide to kill Pugg and the guards before leaving the cave, my mode will update the journal correctly so the journal will mention that Geralt killed the bandits and in addition it will give you a small xp boost for giving justice.
Personally I consider this a bug fix because I wanted to punish them for working with salamandra but the game does not give you that option if you have the real formula and you chose to not be blindfolded.
If you want I can upload a version without the aditional 200 xp reward. Let me know.

Your hard work and attention to detail is worthy of a Kudo and my full Endorsement.
