As with most delays, it makes us sad that we don't get to play the game sooner, but it's almost always worth the wait to play a more polished and complete version of the title in question. With The Witcher, however, that isn't exactly the case, since the original game has been out for quite a while now.
Many of you have already given The Witcher a shot, but for those of us who haven't yet done so, holding out until the improved version was released sounded like the smart thing to do.
As it turns out, we're going to have to wait longer than we'd hoped for: CD Projekt has announced that The Witcher: Enhanced Edition will be delayed (exact date to be announced soon) in order to make the game "as close to a flawless product as possible."
To learn more about the improvements being made over the first release of The Witcher and why this delay isn't really all that bad after all, head on over to game's official Web site.

Please tell me it's happening, since I didn't win the Turning Point rig, I will never be able to play it.
hmmm sounds like I should try that :-)
BIGGER TITS!
Also, it's a good thing they threw in that last line about it being free for existing owners. I'm already paranoid enough that I wait a good two years after a game's release before picking it up for all the kinks to be worked out. I don't need a second release six months after the fact that's the Bug Fixed Version With Fun Bonus Toys.
is just a more verbose way of saying "our story and voice actors sucked. Dicks."
Not really, Atari made them rush the english version of the game so a lot of the story got cut and some things didn't make sense because of it. There where mods to get the cut dialog in there through the subtitles. I'm glad they're now putting that in with voice acting.
The good thing about this game is that you obviously can see it's not done by an English language developer as it's themes are a lot more mature. The fantasy world is a lot more believable and comes closer to what such a world would be if it really existed... No good, no evil, just shades of grey. That everybody is just staring at the sexual content in the game is just because people (especially Americans) like to make such a big deal about anything sexual... just look at Mass Effect's sex scenes. The only games that came close in real mature themes where the Fallout games and Arcanum. (From what I've played)
I'm glad CD Projekt is going this far with supporting the game as it shows that they didn't like how they had to rush the game and want to deliver their own vision of the game even though it has been released already. It's also nice that this version will be free for people like me, who have already bought this game.
And EA
And Ubisoft
And, well, a lot of other people
Thats great they want to fix everything with a rerelease a year later but a year too late for this RPGamer.
I barely know anything about this game. I doubt I'll buy it.
I sort of reviewed the game last year. Demtor pointed out the flaws of the game that eventually get me frustrated and made me leave it in the corner (the voices in my head, always the voices). But the story was nicely driven, the story for example. I didnt liked the UI, the potion making was a pain in the ass, getting the mixes, etc.
I will try the new version because of the fewer loading times that were a pain in the ass too.
The game could have been great, but it was probably to complicated for me.

I'll just be blatant about it:
