We've been announcing this to all and sundry, but if you still didn't know - The Witcher Enhanced Edition is now available on GOG.com! And because, we here at GOG.com like to stir things a little, so to show you how much we love The Witcher franchise we’re running a two week promo starting now.

Before venturing into [url=http://www.gog.com/tw2]The Witcher 2 world and continuing Geralt’s epic story, stop by and check out how it all began with the award winning CD Projekt RED's foray into PC game development. The Witcher is an action-RPG, based on a best selling fantasy saga written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The game features the titular witchers who are monster hunters for hire with supernatural powers. You will be controlling Geralt, one of the witchers, in the rich, deep and enthralling medieval fantasy world created by Sapkowski. Starting the game, Geralt remembers nothing. Kaer Morhen, the last remaining keep of the witchers, was attacked by a mysterious organization, and although the attack has been repulsed the secret recipe for the mutagen, a substance required to create more of your kind, has been stolen. You know what you have to do right? To give you a tip, we'll say you will be fighting ferocious monsters with the help of a revolutionizing and award winning combat system and saving damsels in distress.

During the next two weeks we have a special promo and The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut is available for you with a 50% discount and will cost you only 4.99$! Can you really resist such great deal?
I hope the GOG Downloader joins chunks for every 2GB part separately, and i don't need 2x8.4GB on my HD.

For some reason it didn't do that with part 3 for me, but maybe it was just one-time bug.
Please tell me the game .bin files are broken into nice chunks that can be put on two dvd's and not three.

StingingVelvet: Well I mean instead of a boxed copy, which comes with some stuff but not the art book. The Witcher 2 is really challenging my box collecting brain... less DRM, available sooner, more extras and all the money goes to CDP. Hard to argue with that really for some paper.
Not if you get the collector's edition. Much harder to argue against a nice bust, a card game with rules, a set of dice, two coins, stickers, etc.

I did notice that the screenshots of the collector's edition did not have the papercraft displayed - odd.
Borrowed this off a mate not long after the release and... Didn't get along with it. A bit odd, as I thoroughly enjoy RPG's... I think I blame the poor translation/voice-work of the original release Never tried the Enhanced Edition, and so I just picked it up - For the first time.

But does he join as soon as he downloads a part to save space? Or starts joining one part at a time after the download process? I'm really low on disk space.;)

After my download was completed, I was also left with all the chunk files for part 3.
Word of advice for those about to jump in...
The first few acts of this game are fucking garbage. Give it time, though, and it gets good. Really, really good.
Got it! Put it on the downloader! Waiting! Can't wait to play it!

I just tested it with another game and it seems it joins the chunks after downloading and then deletes them. So apparently at one point you have both all chunks & combined file.

It's not that bad. Act 1 is quite enjoyable if you talk to everyone and don't rush through. I don't get why so many people dislike it - it's a nice little town, it lets you discover alchemy properly, has a few dens, a few side quests, and it all gels together in the end. I loved the little touches - like the dog barking after you kill those big plants in the garden - plants which, you can discover, only grow on the graves of murder victims. There's many little clues like that around.

So that makes the HD space requirements double for GOG downloader. Damn.;/ We'll, i'll check what happens when You don't have enough space. Wasting time, so others don't have to. Yay. ;P

If you're that low on the HDD space, how do you plan to install it? ;)

Download to one, install on another!:)
I could move stuff from the 'download' drive, to the 'install' drive, and then move them back when the DL has finished, but that would cause senseless fragmentation. I'll see what happens first, hopefully the chunks won't get deleted when GOG Downloader tells me there's not enough space.;)
Just to have a little fun, the first person to send me a PM today with the name of the current coach of FC Porto (a Portuguese soccer team), gets a free copy of The Witcher Enhanced Edition.

Done! Given to lackoo1111! Have fun playing!
