The Witcher - More Enhanced Edition News

A bunch of updates at The Witcher site and elsewhere in ancticipation of the imminent Enhanced Edition release.

• A video comparing old and new dialogue samples
• Article at GameDaily on redoing the dialogue
• Diary entry at IGN from PanKarol on teamwork at CD PRojekt Red
• Video diary from Maciek Szczesnik, project lead on the Enhanced Edition, introducing some of the major changes

...and specific details on the download edition:

Wipe away your tears, little one, because we’ve got a nice treat for you. If you bought the original version of The Witcher and registered it at thewitcher.com, you’ll be able to download all of the great content from the Enhanced Edition for free starting September 19!

That’s right – FREE! No strings attached, just good old-fashioned FREE. Log in and download.

You may be wondering – “What do they mean by ‘all’ of the content”? This is what we mean:

-    Patch 1.4 (which turns the standard edition into The Witcher: Enhanced Edition)
-    D’jinni Adventure Editor v1.4
-    Two new adventures (“The Price of Neutrality” and “Side Effects”)
-    Making-of videos
-    ‘Inspired by The Witcher’ music CD
-    Official soundtrack of the game
-    Game manual
-    Official game guide
-    Map of The Witcher’s World
You may notice that “all” in this case doesn’t include the short story that is found in the retail version… unfortunately getting that released online would be some sort of massive undertaking involving numerous book publishers around the world. So it’s almost everything.
Pretty impressive, isn’t it?
So, let me suggest you that visiting www.thewitcher.com should be – no, more than that - it must be the very first thing you do on the 19th of September!
