IGN has posted a new text dev diary from CDP RED’s Daniel Sadowski and Karol Zajaczkowski that discusses some of the visual improvements that have been made in The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. Also, if you want to see how some of those changes play out in the game, check out the exclusive video once you’re done reading. Or the other way around. Or just watch it, then read later. Or read now and never watch. Just think of the different possibilities!

Just saw the video.My hype-meter was to 100%.Now it it OVER 9000%.The monsters look kick-ass and i can;t wait too see the new characters!

Tom Rules  ;D

huh...well it's nice and all that... BUT : from the bottom of my heart I hope that soon enough a kind modder offers a tip to restore Carmen original look : I'm very familiar with the first one and that "Jennifer Aniston" thing... it's just not her  :wall:

Conservative! ;D

And Jennifer Aniston is fine!

Agreed makes them all the more special

Looks great but...Games for Windows? The older shots of the Enhanced Edition box looked stunning but the Games for Window logo just ruins the whole cover. I was going to buy the EE but now I think I will just download the extra stuff. Just to be clear, I merely wanted to express my opinion and not try to flame or anything, I like The Witcher a lot and these new changes will undoubtedly make it even better - a lot better.

I agree, it kinda ruins the image, but I'm gonna wait and check the download size before I get too set in my ways  :) But the vid looks brilliant, now I'm all excited! Again! 2 weeks to go!  ;D

Yes? :)

I gots me a hankering to go hunt some drowners, now, after watching that video! :)

Out of curiosity though - are the randomised colours persistant or regenerated every time one enters the region for non-primary characters?

Eg: You go to the brickmakers village for the first time and you have a guy in a green shirt. You go back to Vizima, then return to the swamp again - does he still have a green shirt, or is the colour regenerated again (now he's wearing a pink, orange or purple shirts)?

It wouldnt be a problem for the "generic NPC nobodies" inhabiting the city, but for some secondary NPCs using generic models (the novice nurse, the bandit who lures you to the 'haunted house', Shani's landlady, the Vizima gardener, etc it could cause headaches.

Though from the video - actually having some variety of drowners actually make me somewhat happy to face them again. :)

C'mon guys, we can do it....
WE CAN WAIT!!! :wall:

Wow, even drowners look different. ;D

Btw., Geralt still can't walk forwards. Not that I mind, but many people seem to do... :P
