| |  The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Fact Sheet
CD Projekt's Tom Ohle sent out a fact sheet this morning containing all the details we need for The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
PRODUCT FACT SHEET
PLATFORM: Games for Windows
RELEASE DATE: September 2008
DEVELOPER: CD Projekt RED
PUBLISHER: Atari, Inc.
GENRE: Role-Playing Game
ESRB RATING: RP (Rating Pending)
Game Description:
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is the ultimate version of the ultimate role-playing game. The Witcher, which was released in October 2007, has won more than 90 awards and has sold more than 800,000 copies worldwide, and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition brings the game even closer to perfection with a number of technical and visual improvements jammed into the value-packed retail box. The enhancements introduced in this version include more than 5000 lines of re-written and re-recorded dialogue, more than 200 new dialogue animations, a new character differentiation system for NPCs, an enhanced inventory with improved alchemy, reduced loading times, improved combat responsiveness and much more.
In addition to the in-game updates, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition will feature premium packaging loaded with value, including the multilingual game disc allowing you to play with any combination of voice-over and subtitles, two new adventures with full voice-over, the D’jinni Adventure Editor, the Official Soundtrack CD, a Music Inspired by The Witcher CD, an official game guide, The Witcher short story by Andrzej Sapkowski, a Making-of DVD with behind-the-scenes video footage, and a map of The Witcher’s world.
The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game universe, the player takes on the role of renowned monster slayer, Geralt of Rivia, in an epic, action-packed narrative in which his decisions have a major impact on how the story plays out. The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it.  |

Personally, I'm looking forward to buy that game. Every game has issues, but not every game gets a 90% review at GameBanshee.

| A gross overstatement. I find the game good, but not that great. Issues such as poor translation to technical problems held the game back.
Anyway, I doubt I will be willing to play the game again, even if the voice have been re-recorded or some changes have been made. Watching the E3 preview gave me the impression that nothing much have changed aside from Leo's voice and some clothing differences.

Must be the same guy who wrote "completely non-linear gameplay" and "utterly unique and customizable combat system" in the first press release. It should read "Now you can pay extra for a dumbed-down version of Neverwinter Nights with nudity - fnarr-frarr -and you will, because it's sadly the only thing on the market. Did we mention it's got nudity, and swearing too! We're geniuses!"
