The Witcher: Outcast Cancelled Add-On?

A website called Unseen 64 that reports on cancelled/suspended video games has released information an a supposed Add-On for the first game called "The WItcher: Outcast". I don't know how reliable the site is and if any of the information is true, but they have some low-resolution concept art with the article and a lick to a design document.http://www.unseen64.net/2010/04/13/the-witcher-outcast-pc-cancelled/The add-on sounds really great.

The story sounds interesting - and from the associated files it looks as if they had begun to render the characters and main settings. Maybe some of this storyline will appear in TW2?

I hope they do. I do wonder why it got cancelled?

Financial reasons, as far as I know.

Ausir! You're still alive! It's good to see you again.

I was under the impression that it was due to clashing opinions about the storyline -- how they envisioned it was supposedly not the way CDPR approved of. I could be wrong, of course.

There were clashing opinions about the first version, but the final version of the story was approved by CDP.

I understand that this thread is ancient and I apologize for the thread necromancy, but I'm just finding it now and I'm more than a little wowed. There were only 8-10 individuals who had a copy of the full design doc. I suppose it only takes one to leak it, but... yeah, the issue was not storyline approval in the end.Despite that RoXidy went down the drain for it, I'm a little bit glad. The original story concept was way better, IMO.
