New version of The Witcher available, adds nudity photo

The Internet had a coming of age moment in late 2007 when the word boobs became a more popular Google search term than RPG. Coincidentally, 2007 is the same year CD Projekt RED’s non-boob-laden version the lauded RPG The Witcher hit store shelves. Think how popular it could have been if only CD Projekt RED thought to do a Trends search before releasing a censored version of their title!

It’s a moot point, now. Yesterday, the studio released The Witcher Enhanced Edition: Director’s Cut in North America via a plethora of downloadable services. This version of the title is essentially the European version with all the updates and tweaks Projekt RED has added within the last two years. Also, it has nudity. For the first time legitimate NA The Witcher owners will be able to see Geralt’s “sexual conquest” cards in all their sexy glory.

One caveat. According to The Witcher Web site, there is currently an issue with the Steam release of this edition. No ETA has been listed.

All this titilating The Witcher talk really makes ache for Rise of the White Wolf. Make it happen somehow, Projekt RED. We’ll take a non-booby version if we have to.

This game doesn't get enough love.

Every time someone tries to make the argument that moral choices in video games can't be done, or even worse, that games like Fable II "do them right", I want to buy them a copy of The Witcher.

I still need to play this game and stop being part of the problem.

I'd get this (European here) if it wouldn't cause my parents' heads to explode.

I like the game a lot... and I would like it even more if my PC could run it properly. Also, the nudity is not that big of a deal (I'm from Europe so I already know the stuff)...

Hrm, that's strange. I bought this game off Steam months ago and it was uncensored.

I agree with Magnalon, this game doesnt get nearly enough love that it deserves. Im a fan of this game ever since the Enchanced Edition work around a lot of issues.

Is a shame they didnt release it for console, I would have loved to get more people to plat this game.

If its coming on STEAM I will pick it up (another little issue, they never released the game on a digital distribution platform).

@ Cr0ssbow:

What's so great about it? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I really want to know.

It's essentially a Diablo fan's wet dream in addition to have a robust story and development system. Essentially, the game asks you to make interesting moral choices and doesn't explicitly tell you you're right or wrong. In short, it's a very rewarding experience that shouldn't be missed.

GOD DAMN IT I STILL NEED TO FINISH THIS GAME

Curses.

Oh! I forgot to add another point: value. The main storyline can take up to 50 hours or more, and some people have gotten over 120+ hours out of the game by doing everything there is to offer.

Yeah same here TewDee... I've been meaning to finish it for a while, but I've been putting it off. I've not even gotten past the first area :/

I can't register my game that I legally own, so I can't update/patch/whatever. Fuck this game.

I love Geralt. He's the reason I bothered to get a good enough PC to play games on.

It's not looking good for the console version. But screw it, I'd rather have the sequel anyway, which is already in the works.

Also, why wouldn't you be able to just download the director's cut patch and install it over the steam version, in the Steam apps directory? Other DLC works that way, such as Bringing Down the Sky for Mass Effect. Can't see why this would be much different. I don't know, though, for sure. Just a thought.

"It's essentially a Diablo fan's wet dream in addition to have a robust story and development system."

I am intrigued and wish to know more.
