The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut, the highly acclaimed RPG by CD Projekt RED, will come to GOG’s storefront with tons of exclusive free goodies on May 10th for a regular price of $9.99--but we're offering a special discount in commemoration of The Witcher 2 coming to GOG.com. The game will be available at a 50% discount from May 10 until May 24, and will cost only $4.99!

The Witcher is an action RPG based on books by popular Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski. The player takes the role of Geralt of Rivia, the witcher (a professional monster slayer). GOG's version of the game is the most complete and comes with loads of free goodies including: game guide, soundtrack, music inspired by the game, The Witcher story, The Witcher "sexy" calendar, artbook and more!

Speaking of The Witcher franchise, starting from 10th of May all GOG.com users who want to buy the highly anticipated sequel to Geralt’s adventures, will have the opportunity to pre-purchase the game and pre-download almost all of it, so on May 17 when the game is released, they can play it almost instantly! Thanks to the brand new GOG.com downloader the pre-download will go fast and easy.

Pro Tip: The Witcher 2 preorder offer on GOG.com ends on the 16th of May at 5:59 p.m. EDT, so anyone who wants to take advantage of the incredible preorder offer should make a point to visit the pre-order page before then and snag their copy of the game. Also note that if you’ve preordered The Witcher 2 from GOG.com, you will have until the end of May to purchase the game and receive all of the preorder goodies, so don’t forget!

orcishgamer: Did GOG ever decide what they'd do for a bonus game for people who have all 5 of the options?

nondeplumage: They had said they'd pick a different game, or let you pick a different game, or something along the lines of someone and definitely a different game.

Had that changed somewhere along the way, that's it not certain anymore?
Straight from the FAQ:
What if I already own all the available free titles?
If that is the case, contact our Support team as soon as you purchase, or pre-purchase, The Witcher 2 and they'll sort you out with an alternative gift.

An alternative gift?

Hookers and blow counts as a single gift, right?

mcneil_1: I had to do a double check on the store page to make sure as well.

The good ol' capital Wellington, man that was a doozy of a twister up in Albany the other day.
Sure was, sad I missed it live. Are you buying your Witcher goodness from here?
NZ market is so poor and prices so high.

Yep (both the EE and Witcher 2 from GoG) downside to getting the witcher 2 from GoG though is my annoying bandwidth cap.

The Witcher 2 is available as pre-order only or we can also buy it later after the release date?

You can pre-order now (for free), and you have the chance to actually purchase it from May 10th to the end of the month. So even after the game is released, you still have a chance to see public opinion before jumping in.

No. The bonuses for pre-ordering (free game, lower price etc) is for a limited time, the game itself will stay in GOG's catalogue.

@GoG

Can't you use your magical device to fast forward the time to 10th May? I just can't wait anymore!

thenoledawg: Supposedly there has been minor alterations to the game to pass censorship in Australia. Will Australians who buy the game off gog have the game censored too?

Kabuto: GOG only sell one version of any game they list for sale. So have no fear, you can fully experience all the sexual content an innuendo Witcher has to offer.

I have a question also. When I played the Witcher demo, the camera was driving me insane. Was it improved in the EE version. Between the camera going nuts and clicking like mad and him not attacking, I quivkly lost interest. I think I understand the combat better but I'm still quite hesitant to take another stab at not only an RPG, but one where I can't control who or what I;m looking at.
I played the EE version and don't recall any camera woes, but that was a while ago... I may have just forgotten. I doubt I would've forgotten that, though, as the inability to control the camera is one of my major pet peeves in games. I'll check for you tomorrow if I remember to, for now I'm off to bed.

I know, I may have to top up in order to have enough. 20$ for 10gb, it's a theft!
But I've missed so many great games on their release, either cause my pc was crap, or cause I didn't have money to buy it.
Everything will be perfect for this one god dammit!

Actually, that's not so. GOG have indicated over on their facebook page that they will be providing us Aussies with a censored version. They point users at downloads based on IP address.

This is such a shame.
Any (legit) way around this at all?
