Still haven't managed to find this game in Montreal. I guess I'll have to order it from the states, or from the UK. Meh.

and this was the only difference right? ....nudey cards in uncensored version?
Played for about an hour last night...enough to get up to the 1st Chapter and nail Merigold
What I really dig about this game is how much it reminds me of oh so wonderful Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Ya, the only thing censored is nudey cards, and I think 1 character model of a Dryad losing her nipples.
The first ~hour is the tutorial, the 1st Chapter takes place in the Vizima Outskirts, and it's pretty obvious where Chapter 2 will take you. Just remember to do all the things you are interested in while you're still in Chapter 1 because you can't get back there. Chapter 1 can be around 10 hours depending on what you do, and how many times you die/crash.
Autosave is great because it never creates more than 3, and will write over previous ones. This is unlike Crysis Warhead, where I now have 80 autosaves because they just keep on going.
Finished the prologue and I'm a few hours into Chapter 1. I'd be in love with the game if it wasn't for the incredibly distracting blurry graphics bug shown here (not the cutscene pixellation, I fixed that).
Is there any word on a fix? Setting lighting to low fixes the problem but that's kind of a shitty solution.
I want to be in love with your game, CDProjekt. Help pls!

Oh good, I can play this game again now.
F'ing Steam, my internet went down Wednesday (bad connection outside the building) and it took Shaw until today to get it fixed. The true evil of DD smacked me around as I have 5 vacation days starting Thursday (my bday) which meant I had all day to play Witcher... except I couldn't because Steam couldn't phone home. Tried starting Steam in offline mode but that never worked either (Steam kept trying to update, then said there was an error when I told it to start in offline mode) so I couldn't even see which games I COULD play offline. Very irritating. And I couldn't download Wipeout HD, which sucked.

I'm probably about half way through Chapter 1 right now. I'm really enjoying the game, but I have a few questions:
1. When a quest says it requires a bestiary entry, does that mean I have to read the book containing information on the monster? I'm assuming so because I've killed a few Ghouls, I remember gathering their blood, but it's not in my inventory.
2. Do the non sword weapons ever come in handy? I've been carrying a dagger and mace around for a while, but I've never used them. Is there a point to having these?
3. I picked up 4 boxes of dice and one of them disappeared after talking to a Dwarf (Zoltan, I think) but the other three are still in my quest item inventory. Is there someone else I need to talk to to get rid of them?

1. You need to learn about beasts/planets before you can harvest useful parts from them. You can get the journal entry by reading the appropriate book, or having villagers tell you a story that does the same thing. There are some things you have to get from reading books. Villagers generally don't tell you the story unless you give them what they want, and it's easier to just keep track of books since it tells you if you've read a particular book before. Just spend money buying books about plants or particular monsters (but skip the history ones or ones about humanoid races). There isn't much else to spend money on.
2. The only 2 weapons you will ever use are Steel and Silver swords. The Axes/Hammers/Knives are useless and just sell them for money.
3. I forgot, but I know you only need 1 box of dice to play. I'd just keep them for now, I think the quest item inventory slot may have unlimited capacity, but I'm not sure. If you ever find you can't pick up a quest item, then ditch the excess dice boxes.
Okay so I'm about 5 seconds from finishing Chapter I. I missed a few quests apparently, but I don't really care, I don't have to get everything. There are no achievements :lol
This is my first EE playthrough. I got to the early parts of Chapter III in the original version before I stopped because I heard about the EE. I built a new computer since so I didn't have my old save file to continue from.

Almost done the game, about half done Chapter V. I have tried to do every side quest I could find and have probably only missed a handful, and now Geralt is a fucking killing machine. :lol I love having him a wee bit overpowered now, there are seemingly eternally spawning enemies at points in this chapter and I spent like 10 minutes just killing fools, I had killed at least a hundred or more (couldn't loot corpses sadly) and they could barely damage me at all.
Truly one of my favourite games this year, it's the perfect blend of RPG and action/adventure for my tastes, and the setting/characters are a welcome change of pace for me. Call it goofy, but I like the fact Geralt beds damn near every female he crosses paths with, infinitely better than being another spiky haired Cloud clone moping around and bitching about his fate.

auto-loot is the best addition to the game, seriously
man those "music inspirted by The Witcher" tracks are sooo bad, one or two are good but the rest are really, really bad.

What is the auto-loot feature?Prime crotch said:
Is there a nudity patch for the american EE version?
All of the reviews that I've read say that you can play the game however you want. With that said, is there any way I can screw up my characters talents?

I've restarted my game with the EE installed, mapped the keyboard keys on the 360 pad and I am playing the game on my 44" TV with 5.1 sound.
I really like the game, its atmosphere and the characters. I haven't encountered any crashes yet and I was alt-tabbing a lot and playing the game in a window.
And it's really sad that the EE isn't available in Montreal. Nothing at EBGames, Gamestop, Best Buy or Future Shop. Even the regular version is hard to find. I bought mine at Walmart.

Press CTRL and loot something, it will pick up everything without opening the menu like before.Kestastrophe said:
