For some reason, Eriash chose to quote my self-description on ModDB rather than give you information about "Medical Problems." [
Edit: This has been changed now.] :whatthe: :wall: Well, he's a very busy man.But there IS information about "Medical Problems" -- here's what you were
supposed to learn about it:
[size=10pt]"Medical Problems," a new, fan-made adventure for The Witcher, is now available![/size]
Description: Shani needs help fighting an epidemic of a new, unknown sickness. But what could a monster slayer possibly do about a medical problem?The game has several different possible endings, depending on which choices you make while playing. Three choices* each have consequences, making eight different paths through the game, and which ending you get depends on the combination of choices. Geralt has monsters to kill, human lives to save, a mystery to solve, and witcher contracts to fulfill. There are also some ladies to woo, though all but one of them are optional.
Play-tester Whisperwind said this about "Medical Problems:" "It's amazing what only one person can do, how full that little village is, and how interesting was that story. Thank You, Corylea, for this amazing adventure!"Play-tester Secondchildren, when asked what she'd tell people about "Medical Problems," said, "A well depicted environment, with a characteristic atmosphere and the taste of magic and myth. A big tragedy in a small community, a thriller, more sexy women and nasty creatures... sounds interesting enough, right?"There have been several player's reviews of the game, including one by
A.D. fantasta (one of the authors of the excellent adventure "Entrapped"), one by
Sayne (a member of the Ifrit team), one by
DelightfulMcCoy, and one by
Lyonesse.*(
Post #2, in the
"Medical Problems" Questions, Comments, and Hints thread, talks about which choices have consequences and what those consequences are. A lot of it is under spoiler tags, so you can pick and choose what you want to know.)
Features: * 12 quests (only 11 of which can be completed in any one game, since two of them are mutually exclusive) * 45 NPC's, all of which have names and conversations of their own. * 18 explorable areas plus three special areas, with 19 new loading screens * 40 monsters to kill * 6 sex cards to get, including one new one and 5 recolored ones * Many, many recolors of clothes, items, and even some areas * Several new items * Approximately 5 hours of gameplay
How to get it:There are two versions of "Medical Problems" available; choose the one that best suits your needs:1. For everything you need in one file, download the version available from The
Official Witcher Website ORThe general modding site
ModDB OR The first of the two versions available on
the author's website. The version on the official site is the easiest to get; the one on the author's site will be the most consistently updated. a. Download the all-in-one version. b. Unzip the folder. c. Follow the installation instructions. d. Play. 2. For those who are comfortable moving files around on their hard disks, the version available from my website (http://corylea.com/) has the adventure and the movies in two separate files. This should give you somewhat faster loading times. a. Download the no-movies version. b. Download the movie folder. c. Download the main loading screen. d. Unzip the adventure. e. Follow the installation instructions for the adventure. f. Unzip the movies folder. g. Put the movies folder into the folder where your other Witcher movies are. (On many computers, this is at The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data\Movies, but the location of the folder varies, depending on whether you installed the EE from a disk or upgraded the original edition to the EE via patch.) In any case, if the folder has files like "cs_sex_abigail1.bik" and "intro.bik" in it, it's the right place. h. Put the ls_load.dds file in The Witcher Enhanced Edition\Data\Override. (Remember to take this out of your Override folder when you play the main game or another module!) i. Play.
How to get help, ask questions, and make comments:"Medical Problems" comes with four text files:1. An installation manual2. A hint sheet3. A list of cool things to be sure to see4. A walkthroughWalkthroughs take half of the fun out of a game, so it's only there in case of a playing "emergency."
If you get stuck or have a question that isn't covered in the installation manual or the hint sheet, ask it in the
"Medical Problems" Questions, Comments, and Hints thread, and I'll answer you.Oh, and if you think you can make a better adventure for
The Witcher than "Medical Problems," please do!
