"CD Projekt RED is pleased to announce that in May of this year, a new and improved version of The Witcher will appear in stores, a game already considered by many players and media to be the best PC RPG of 2007!"

List of Changes and Additions:

"Mod: "The Price of Neutrality"

Number of Quests: 3 (1 main quest, 2 side quests)

Overview:

  • Completely new adventure featuring Geralt and an intriguing new story.
  • Placed in the surroundings of the Kaer Morhen stronghold, in a location not used in The Witcher storyline.
  • New graphic assets: 2 NPCs models, one tent model, 2 new erotic cards, 2 new flashbacks.

    Concept: Geralt comes back to Kaer Morhen for winter. He finds a small camp near the stronghold where he meets a nobleman and a sorceress, Sabrina Glevissig. They came here to find Deidre, a young woman, who is staying in the witchers’ stronghold. She is Eskel’s surprise child, born under the Black Sun (an ancient prophecy says that such children would ruin the World. It turns out that the nobleman is her brother and is intent on keeping her from the crown. Sorceress Sabrina wants to kill Deidre and examine her body to find out the truth about Black Sun curse. Geralt has to decide to whether defend the girl or stay neutral.

    Mod: "Side Effects"

    Number of Quests: 5

    Overview:

  • Simple, yet amusing gameplay-oriented storyline.
  • Several ways to complete the MOD.
  • Shows how to create adventures exploiting various gameplay features.

    Concept: Geralt’s good friend, Dandelion, gets into trouble in Vizima. Geralt has to collect a certain amount of money to bail him out and pay for his excesses. He collects the money by completing various tasks. Player can join the effects of one task with another. For example, in a fistfight competition he can win cash or a bottle of alcohol. If he chooses to take the booze, he can use it to get one bandit drunk. Then he will give Geralt a key to a chest with loot. The mood of the story is similar to Dandelion’s incidents with Vespula and Bibervelt’s economics in the books of Andrzej Sapkowski.
