DarkAngel Thanks for the response!But under your DL section I only see 2 links...1) for the uncensored movies and 2) to put the movies in original game.....so where are the files to add (I guess) more gore and executions?
Ok, I've downloaded the files, extracted them, and replaced the original files in the /data/ directory.Does it make a difference if I have extracted main.key using bifrip005?
Be sure you don't leave your backup in the Data directory. It might interfere.Additionally, you could create a Override directory in your Data directory. Extract the localized00.bif to it, and you are sure everything in that directory is loaded by the game. Use BifRIP for that (see the Wikia). I'll make a package for you that does that, link will be in the e-mail.rednals said:

Done, override files package has been added to the e-mail including instructions on how to install it.Cheers.
As a citizen of the US, I can somewhat answer this one. Even absurd levels of violence will typically earn a game no more than an M rating. This is seen as a sign of "edginess" by many consumers buying games in the market, and as such is a coveted rating for games to earn. (Compare the "T" rating, which tends to carry connotations of child-oriented gaming - that's a "kiddie" rating.) On the other hand, full nudity (generally exposed nipples or genitalia) immediately gets games marked AO or "Adults Only", and restricted to purchasers who are 18+. See also "Grand Theft Auto" and "Hot Coffee", or the hullabaloo-about-nothing when someone found an unused female naked torso skin in Oblivion's on-disc content - prefix GTA3 copies were retroactively re-rated AO, and there was a time when people thought Oblivion would follow suit (no genitals depicted and being unused is a big part of my guess why they did not).In the US, an AO rating is a literal death sentence for games seeking release in the market. Many (indeed, nearly all) US retailers will not carry or sell games that have the AO rating, and those retailers who will carry such content are typically those already involved in selling 18+ content: purveyors of other forms of pornography. Games don't sell as well in these venues as they would in major retailers, for obvious reasons, and games that are not sold in major retailers will not earn much revenue for their developers. This presents developers with a problem. They cannot use their uncensored world-release content in the US market, because the rating "M" is the highest one that will be carried in major stores or seen by a wide audience. They are thus left with the choice of either compromising their original vision to have an opportunity to sell to the US market, or not compromising their vision and drastically reducing their sales potential. (I'm not an expert, but I'd bet the US market is a significant chunk of the Witcher's sales, for a close-to-home example.) Developers are businessmen, and thus money is the usual winner, and I'm not faulting their decision, I note.Since I've been old enough to see real naked breasts legally in strip clubs across the nation for nearing a decade-and-a-half, the whole thing seems a bit silly to me as well. I wish that AO games (as the uncut version of the Witcher would be) were released here, but the truth is that I'm likely to be forced to alter my games with after-market content from other releases (if such exist) on any such title I might buy in the future. America loves its guns, but hates boobies - and gamers who might otherwise buy AO games are the minority that suffers from this cognitive dissonance in the end.Hope that helps explain it.To the original poster: I haven't opened this stuff up and installed it just yet. Is this content from the UK release, or will I have to get used to Polish and subtitles? Regardless of that, you have my thanks for trying to help those of us who are being handled with kid gloves in the US.Aruna said:
Kudos to NamelessOblivion for neatly summing up the American cultural dichotomy of attitudes toward sex and violence. Personally, I think it's more than a little disturbing that insane violence is fine for a juvenile audience but activities between consenting adults--or even showing nipples, for gods' sake--are not.Yes, it's daft. A lot of people don't agree with it. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to make a bit of difference to those who make the rules.Thanks. It's bothered me for a long time, but I'm hardly situated to take on the culture of an entire country singlehandedly.Tierce said:
Actually, what bothers me is that it's not the violence or the sex, per se, but it appears to be a trend towards shielding games (and in some cases other media) from anything that might be considered adult content, whether that's jubblies or coffins returning from the middle east. Violence alone doesn't count - the Coyote and Roadrunner are staples of Saturday morning - but seeing the real consequences of it, on the other hand, is very nearly taboo.
I fear that were the rules to change now, they would not change for the better. Retailers are no more disposed towards carrying AO titles, so the only way the rules change is either to do away with the AO listing (never happen, for fear of another Night Trap media scandal) or to make it apply more broadly, ie. making it apply to violence more often. Since that's negative, I'm not sure I should even hope for change. :'( That said, this discussion is a pretty wide derail, so this will be the last time I mention the topic - I have no interest in taking the attention off the effort by the OP to help others enjoy the original creation.
Hi LennardF1989,I would be interested in discussing this link with you, as I currently have concerns that the helpful materials regarding the uncensored fix on my site, thewitcherworld.com, may be no longer relevant with the enhanced edition. With your consent, I would like to add a reference to your generous resource on my downloads page.I could also perhaps then be helpful with regards to aiding the unfortunate Americans with a censored version of the game (yet again), courtesy of the Puritans who want to dictate our morality and what we can see. .If interested, could we perhaps PM about this?Many thanks for your gift to our community.- Starwolf
Hey LennardF, just wanted to say thank you...I finally got everything installed and running correctly (the problems were my mistakes, not yours) and it's great. I appreciate your work to circumvent the hated censors. I would give you orens, but since I don't have any myself I am not allowed to give them out. So, cheers , and if you're ever in my bit of the U.S. I'll buy you a real beer.P.S. And sorry for almost hijacking your thread with my anti-censorship rant.
, and if you're ever in my bit of the U.S. I'll buy you a real beer.P.S. And sorry for almost hijacking your thread with my anti-censorship rant.I just recieved this mail from Filefront because I tried submitting the files to the global database:
I somehow feel ****ed up about it.Is there a chance I can get permission from CD Projeckt RED? I never intented to do something illegal nor do I want to get sued for it.It's a kinda lame accusement, especially since most mods are edited "copyrighted' files... This would make my blood mod illegal too.I guess I have to drop the FileFront mirrors unless I get permission which I can put into the RAR's to make my action "legal".Any moderator/developer advice?
If this is alreayd illegal, thats even more. Besides, I won't run a tracker on my server.rednals said:

Filefront removed it due to it being illegal (according to them).krikri said:Is the Filefront link not working for anyone else? I am getting 50 k/s from sendspace
