The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Released2008
Based on the novels by a popular Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher is an action-oriented, epic fantasy RPG that takes players on a journey through a world which in many ways mirrors our own. Take on the role of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter, as he embarks on a quest of self-discovery and revenge. The game's time-delayed decision-consequence system ensures that the consequences of your choices will become apparent only in the following chapters of Geralt's story, discouraging returns to a previous save point. The Enhanced Edition includes technical and gameplay improvements that bring shorter loading times, more natural animations, and improved inventory, among others. Two new adventures titled The Price of Neutrality and Side Effects will extend players' enjoyment of the game. Finally, the "D'jinni Adventure Editor" enables players to create their adventures and shared them with others.

About This Game

Set after the events of the Witcher novels, the monster-slayer Geralt of Rivia turns up at the foot of the legendary witcher stronghold, pursued by a mysterious force — exhausted and stricken with amnesia, remembering almost nothing of his past. His fellow witchers and a familiar sorceress nurse him back to health, but before he can begin reassembling the pieces of his former life, the fortress is stormed by bandits led by an enigmatic mage, who make off with the order's closely guarded secrets and strike down one of its members. Bent on vengeance and the recovery of their stolen knowledge, the surviving witchers scatter across the world — and Geralt heads south, toward the kingdom of Temeria.
