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?

roaringarse: I think The Witcher combat system is excellent, it just has a steep learning curve. Once you get used to the rhythm and the look of each attack. you can string combos together easily by watching for when he finishes each move in a sequence.

Trilarion: if you keep the difficulty on medium it's fairly simple. Choosing fighting style according to enemy type. Click whenever flame symbol appears. When aard (mostly igni) is loaded again, right click in direction of enemies.

But I really licked it. Not the usual clicking orgy but a simple timing game. Actually over the years I got less and less attracted by combat in rpgs. I just realized that such combats are always quite boring.
I still kind of prefer easier combats to ultra difficult where you have to use tricks like making the enemy get stuck behind a corner or shoot it in the head from a rock ;)

many people bought the game during the previous Steam christmas sale

However now that the game is on GOG there is little to no reason to go for the Steam version now

Especially considering the fact that the game on Steam costs 17 Euro while on GOG you can buy it right now for 3.5 euro, and of course I'm not even talking about the buttloads of extra stuff you get with the GOG version, that's what I call value for money

Thanks guys, I just bought the GOG version too. : ) My old copy was the un-enhanced original so it will be interesting to see how improved it is. I always thought it was an amazing game anyway.

I feel like an idiot for passing up this deal. I had just splurged on a few games a week or two ago and I figured I'd give my conscience some time to feel less guilty when I'd buy this. Well, sure enough my power went out yesterday :-( and I didn't purchase this in time. I already have a boxed EE copy, but I wanted to repurchase this so it's DRM free and fully patched/up-to-date.

Bah.
