I heard that it’s because some of the shops are waiting for the boxes – they HAVE been shipped 16th but it’s the problem of the retailers now to start selling game as quick as possible

Thanks for the official response vanworden

Where do I go to download my free because I already bought the game enhanced edition? I looked around but I don't see any links for a free enhanced edition yet.

Look at: http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=16536.0

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!

More waiting! It's okay. Thanks for the help.

Escorted? Just imagine pirates capture the ship, steal all the EEs and the retailers wait in vain. I keep my fingers crossed nothing like that happens eace:

Just played Russian EE from ND Games.Well, I didn't check other voices (yet, but don't worry all of them really exist), but russian version became even much more worse. Somebody made new Vessimir's voice and it is really suck. I mean WHY? It was best Vesimir from all voice version and now it is some passive 20 years old gay... Also nobody work with old dialogues. They are same awful in the prologue, episode 1, epsiode 5, epilogue.ND Games Failed. Shame.P.s. BTW what protection will be on CZ\PL versions? Cuz on RU it was StarForce 5.5... Crappy things, easy to crack for gaming, then prevoius versions, but still doing a lot of nasty things with PC. I prefer to buy it with safedisk, Targem also be fine.

DOES THE ENHANCED EDITION GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO WALKAnd I'm not talking about the keeping the mouse close to the character and making him walk slowly that way. That simply does not cut it. I can NOT play this game running around like a maniac everywhere I go. PLEASE tell me does the Enhanced Edition have this feature or is there some way to mod/add it? I know I sound desparate but I'm one of those people that need that immersion factor in a game or I can't play it lol. Thanks! Merged threads. Do not start new threads for existing topics. Do not use all caps in new threads.

Alright, I read the most of the topics pertaining to the Enhanced Edition and what is going to change.From what I understand, aside from the things in press releases accessible everywhere:

• Nudity is still censored in the NA release.
• Bare breasts and several models were taken out.
• The dialog that was ridiculed on some sites has been re-recorded, re-worked, and now we can expect the more mature dialog trees we expected.

My questions are:

• Is it true finishing moves were censored/deleted?
• Is it true you are thinking of releasing an official patch to make the NA release uncensored such as the EEU release?
• Does the Steam version have copy protection besides the Valve protection?

Maybe I missed the answers to these questions. I honestly tried to sort through huge amounts of threads, so please excuse me if this is the case. I really tried to find these answers myself.Really I could care less about pixelated nudity, I was more concerned about colorful dialog (which adds much more believability and color to the world) and censored finishing moves which, for me, would feel like being treated like a child. I instantly bought this game when it came out on Steam, because I could see it was quality, but I am just curious what is in store and what I am potentially missing out on.

I hit four retailers today. Fry's electronics simply stated that it had not been released, Best Buy says in a few days, PC Stop said "maybe" tomorrow, and even Target didn't have it. I also noticed that Amazon changed from the 16th to the 18th. So much for getting it physically in the States on the 16th.

I want to buy the uncensored version of The WItcher Enhanced Edition.If I DL it from Steam is it the censored version?If not where can I order it from online (game disc, not download) that will ship to Cnada?Thanks

Hiya,1. Yes that's true for any but the Polish version. However, only two moves with particular amounts of gore were censored. Its possible that the EE alleviates this as improved and revised combat animations is part of the pack.2. Can't say that for sure, but there have been talks with Atari about publishing it uncensored, but for the moment at least, the cards and the dryad model remain censored (everything else is the same)3. Hmmm I don't think so, since they also sell the DD via Impulse (Stardock).

If you download it from Steam, I believe you might be getting the NA version (cards and dryad model slightly covered up). You can I believe order it retail from say amazon.co.uk to get an UK version shipped to Canada. Play.com or GoGamer should have it too.

Will patch 1.4 have all older patches included in it or will we still need the 1.3 patch ???...thanks.

 

[st_ghost]

Should have everything included so you can go right from 1.0
