I've heard the Witcher EE is out

[Heresiarch]

Anyone got it yet?

 

[OSK]

Ooh. I forgot all about it.

 

[HanoverF]

In before someone doesn't physically remove anything from inventory and someone bitches about piracy

 

[RandomLurker]

It is out, but only in the US (or the whole NA? I'm not sure about this one) and only as a complete game - the release of the international version and the enhancing patch are both scheduled for 19.09.

 

[Longshanks]

I have no idea when it's being released here. Probably not enough trailers.

 

[Zhuangzi]

It's coming out on the 2nd of October here in Aus. According to both EB and Game here in Perth.

Just launched witcher site. Entered my profile. And it says I don't have any game registered. Wtf?
Is this the situation where piracy is no wrong, yes/no?

edit: I have sent request in support.

WTF indeed. It worked for me. Still, no EE yet.

 

[Zhuangzi]

What the? I'm not 'registered' either because I haven't played The Witcher yet, but that didn't stop me from joining and posting on the forum.

 

[Trash]

I'd say we'll have to wait till saturday before they put the patch and extra content on-line.

Did you simply register on the forum or also attach your cd key?

 

[Suicidal]

I tried registering the game multiple times but it didn't work due to some browser error with cookies. I asked for advice on forums but nothing they said worked, then I e-mailed the tech support and they said that it's a known error and that if nothing worked then the only way to fix it is to reinstall windows.

I didn't try that, not worth the effort, IMO, but I was wondering if anyone else here had this problem.

What CD key? I haven't got the game at all yet.

I wasn't registered either, but if you still have the game installed, run register.exe in the game directory.

Yeah I had that problem, can't remember if I got it fixed (I sure as hell did not and am not reinstalling windows!)

Is it a pre-requisite for getting the EE patch?

Its cool that its shipping.
I just visited gogamer and they have two enhanced versions for sale , one they claim is an uncensored enhanced version (import) and the other they claim is cencesored/vanilla enhanced.
Uncensored Version is listed as being published by CdProjekt while the vanilla enhanced is listed as being publish by Atari with two different release dates and prices.
Uncensored : September 22nd
Censored : September 19th
The censored version is of course cheaper by like 4 dollars, i am wondering if i am paying more because its an import or if its because its uncensored, usually the imports gogamer sells are cheaper than the non import version.

 

[Fez]

The real issue is whether or not you are willing to pay four dollars for the occasional flash of titties while you play.

 

[WalterKinde]

Its not really about topless female computer generated images
Heck the internet is there ofor that but the word "uncensored" implies there may be bits of the game cut out because it couldn't met the censorship standards not talking about nudity only, maybe theres something else.
I remember Sacred the import version was also listed as uncensored because of more blood and gore and an extra quest, but like i said strangely enough it was cheaper than the vanilla version of sacred.

 

[Lemunde]

It's up on steam right now with a release date of sept 16.

I've been playing the EE version a bit now, god bless teh internetz (I have the original though, but didn't feel like installing it and waiting until the 19th for the patch).

The changes feel fairly subtle. Autosorting the inventory seems like such a simple thing, but it's quite a blessing. New models, well... I can't really remember all the models from the old version, so I'm not sure how many new ones there are. The animations seems to make things a bit more lively, but they are very unconvincing on their own. The animations often don't seem to mix with what the character is saying, and there is quite a bit of clipping with hands going through stomachs and so on.

The dialogues (talking about English here) are still pretty disjointed at times, but they do feel a bit more natural and are sometimes much more elaborate than I remember the original game being.
It's still not exactly amazing dialogue, but in my eyes it has gone from laughable (though there are still some really weird dialogues unfortunately) to OK, which is a pretty good step. It's actually probably the most important thing and while it is a fairly subtle change it has made the EE much more enjoyable for me.

Can't really speak about performance changes as I've gotten a new computer in between playing the old version and this. It runs and looks fine at least, heh.

Definetely gonna be worth the download if you've got the game and liked it before. And of course, the multilanguage setup is gonna be great since I think you can put on the original Polish voiceovers and have English subs if you wish.

Yes, I've heard you can only download the EE for free if you had the game registered before its release.

I might join you. I didn't register my copy when I installed it (I've never registered a game, ever) and if I buy the patch in box, it's gonna have to be cheaper than the $65.00 AUD price (New games are typically $80.00 - $90.00). I'm not paying that much for a patch and a gold grinding mission.

 

[yes plz]

I've been playing it for a bit. Just finished 'The Price of Neutrality' -- it was alright. You could probably beat it in about an hour if you don't muck about and all the choices that seem to have any effect are saved for the end, thus allowing you to make a saved-game right before you pick who to side with. There definitely seems to be a 'best' ending amongst the ones I saw.

English spoken dialogue still appears to be wooden. Like they recorded each line separately and then edited them together, making most conversations still feel rather disjointed and odd. I actually ended up just switching over to the Polish voice overs.

Can't really say much about performance. The original version ran well on medium settings for me and the same holds true for this version.

 

[Heresiarch]

Is the Polish voice acting really that better than English? I really don't know which can destroy my mood to play the game worse, badly spoken English that at least I can understand, or decently spoken Polish that I don't understand shit. Mind you I've already beaten the game even before patch 1.2 was out.
