<a href="http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/901/901689p1.html">IGN had a look at The Witcher's: Enhanced Edition</a> over at the Leipzig Games Convention. Here's what they noticed:
<br>
<blockquote>There's a long list of features being added to the title, but the one we noticed most were the improved load times, which were definitely shorter than the original release's. CD Projekt RED has also taken steps to add to the sense of variety in the game by making monsters and village-dwelling NPCs seem more varied. From the demo we got it seems as though townspeople, though they'll still share the same model, will wear different colored clothing and have a variety of haircuts. The same type of color variation has been applied to monsters as well.</blockquote>
<br>
Multi-coloured peasants will really enhance the town experience. They also talk about auto-loot, the ability to mix and match over nine different audio and subtitle tracks and mention that save games are fully compatible.

Rats, for a moment there I thought I was going to get a Fable-like fashion shop I could send Geralt to and dress him up in pretty costumes.

I want to role play a cross dresser, this game fails.

So stylists will be opening up across the towns and dungeons? Can we look forward to monsters with the most fabulous hair this side of RPGdom?

 

[Micmu]

Pink bunny slippers for Geralt pretty please!

Don't underestimate the power color can have on diversifying visuals. I have a side project game I'm working on that exclusively uses grayscale images and colors them in-game. It's a very simple technique that goes a long way in adding variety to a game without busting the budget on artwork. I don't know why more games don't take advantage of it. That being said this is something they should have added from the beginning. Like I said, it's not hard to do.

So many of the NPCs were identical that it hindered the precious immersion. I'm happy with this.

Oh, look at all those people! Do they have to be so colourful and variant? Almost like each one of them got a stylist in the family. So unrealistic and mainstream.

GO CHINA! Keeping it hardcore!

 

[Serious_Business]

How come there are so much chinese. :

Different hair cuts and coloured clothing won't help much if they still all have the same face.

Different hair cuts and coloured clothing won't help much if they still all have the same face.

Since they all wear glasses that might be the key.

 

[Trash]

I'm just going to pretend that they are asians. They all look the same anyway.

 

[Thrasher]

I'm soo gald I waited buying the witcher for this!

[Fez]

Wow, that EE sure made all the difference.
