Meet Morvran Voorhis
If you chose to simulate a Witcher 2 save when starting the game, Morvran Voorhis will ask you a series of questions regarding the events in Witcher 2. Your answers will impact certain quests and dialogues later on.
Otherwise, he will simply ask why none of his soldiers survived while escorting Geralt and Yennefer back to Vizima.

Should You Simulate a Witcher 2 Save File? And Questions
Imperial Audience Bow Only Affects Dialogue
Choosing whether or not to bow to Emperor Emhyr only affects the immediate dialogue after. Bowing surprises Emhyr, while refusing to bow doesn't seem to bother him at all
