The Witcher - EE Review @ Eurogamer

by Dhruin, 2008-09-17 22:46:12

Unspectacular but welcome is Eurogamer's verdict on the changes in The Witcher Enhanced Edition, with Kieron Gillen's review scoring 8/10:

All that's been tweaked, thankfully. Apparently over 5000 lines have been re-recorded, plus there are extra character animations. The results are not exactly overwhelming. The character animations are far better, but it's a case them now being acceptable rather than impressive. The translation changes are subtle and welcome, and result in rather less foot-in-mouth moments. To give one example, there's a scene in the original where the Head Witcher tells the others they should treat Love Interest Number 1 with more respect, before calling her "babe". In the new version, they've use the word "child" - so the paternalism they were aiming for now comes across.
