GRIN_Wolfsong Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ok. We are looking at a new Witcher sneak peek patch on March 14th and a new Enhanced Edition release of the game on May 16th. This is the new contents of the patch: D'Jinni - MOD Editor - Allows users to make own adventures in the Witcher World - Does not allow user to modify the game itself - Only in English MOD: "The Price of Neutrality" - 2 hour game time - 1 main quest and 2 side quests - Completely new Geralt's adventure with intriguing story - Placed in the surroundings of the Kaer Morhen stronghold, in the location not used in the Witcher storyline - New graphics assets: 2 NPC, 1 tent, 2 erotic cards, 2 flashbacks - In Polish and English only And this is the new contents of the Enhanced Edition: All contents released in the 3 patches. MOD: "Side Effects" - 3 hour game time - 5 quests - Simple, yet amusing gameplay-oriented storyline - Several ways to complete the MOD - Shows how to create adventures exploiting various gameplay features - No new graphics assets - In Polish and English only Fixes: - Corrected English translations and voice work (over 5000 dialogue lines re-written and re-recorded) - Corrected German translation and voice work - Loading times reduced by 80% - Improved game stability - Improved combat responsivness - Improved AI for Dice Poker mini-game - Improved weather settings for locations - Vitality indicator problem resolved (did not display at times) - Inventory and map texture caching (accelerated map and inventory load/display) - Animation improvements: Draw/sheath sword animation accelerated - Animation improvements: Greater clarity of sequence failed animation - Improved character model for Triss Merigold New In-Game Features: - Improved Inventory: Filtering of alchemy ingredients by content - Improved Inventory: Auto-sorting of items in satchel - Improved Inventory: Special slot area for sorting alchemy ingredients in satchel - Auto-save option (on/off) - Character differentiation mechanism (effectively generating approx 50 new appearances) - Look-at feature (characters look at Geralt, deepening player immersion) - Auto-looting of containers (player may collect all contents of a container without opening the container panel) - 100 new gesture animations in dialogues and cut-scenes, giving more natural feel of conversation with NPC - Improved facial expressions And check this out: YouTube clip Notice that they say in this video that a 5 hour long module made by a Canadian mod team will be included... I wonder if that is my old friends at DLA? I could bet money that it is actually... Also, Forbes lists The Witcher as one of last years "10 future classic games". Not bad. EDIT: I got info now that the extra content for the Enhanced Edition will become available in another patch in May for the users who already own the game. So I guess I won't have to buy another copy after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIN_Wolfsong Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Official sources has not said that the Canadian made mod will not be included in the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher. But that still confirms that another official mod for the game is in the making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgie Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 This game seems mildly appealing but the demo only had third-person. Can the Witcher be played in first-person like TES and so on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
