Do you happen to know if they said how Iorveth got his scar in the game? I think I read somewhere that he got it from the Spear of Destiny or something like that, but I don't remember it ever being talked about in the game.

Quite right! :D  If you play Roche’s path in chapter 2 and speak with the relic peddler in the Kaedweni camp during the Blood Curse quest, he will inform you that ”the spear was supposed to kill some Scoia’tael big shot [guess who :D] who survived and is ‘with that vixen from Aedirn’ [Saskia]”. He also mentions that “the shaft cracked as if there’d been some fucking jousting tournament”.Iorveth keeps the spear head (some strange lucky charm, maybe?), and you have to get to Vergen to retrieve it. In Vergen, Saskia informs you that Iorveth has since lost the spearhead in dice poker against Skalen Burdon (you have to win a poker game against Skalen to get it).Speaking of Iorveth’s scar, here’s the 3d-render (no texture):

That’s a pretty serious scar.
