The Witcher Enhanced Edition Released

By Joe Haygood | September 17, 2008

For those that did not buy The Witcher when it was released in late 2007, they truly mised out on a great RPG.  Despite its flaws, it told a great story, and for once, had real time encounters with NPCs.  Wait too long, and you would miss out on the person you needed to contact.

However, the game shipped a bit buggy, and of course, because Americans can handle tons of violence, but cringe at the sight of a nipple, the US version was censored as well.  Throw in a rather cryptic potion system, and it was a bit much for the average gamer to swallow, no matter how well the game was raved and reviewed.

Now with the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher, you can be guaranteed, that this version is “Witchy Enough”.  You get a music CD, hint book, art book, and other assorted goodies, for a nice price of $39.99.  The game has been graphically tweaked, completely re-recorded dialoge, and the uncensored playing cards are back (yay!).  The game can be found on Steam and in retail outlets for $39.99.

Also, if you bought The Witcher last year, and feel like you got screwed over by this new, completely Witchied edition of The Witcher, don’t feel bad.  Previous owners will be able to download all the new content for free on September 19th, which is the European launch.
