I would advise everyone to do this before the 17th.. as this is a ~10GB download.

Should I play the game as is first and then upgrade to the EE or at this point should I just wait until the EE is released before playing?

EE adds 4 hours of new campaign IIRC. I recommend you to wait until the 17th when the only version of TW2 will be the EE.

Thanks for the reminder. Will do this when I get home.

The download says it's over 20gigs for me.

Woah, what's up with the enhanced edition? Witcher 2 was amazing and ranks up there as one of my favorite rpg's of all time. I was kind of dissapointed in the ending however. I was planning on playing through it another time going through the other story arc....
Any summary bullet points on what this will give us?

11gb later the files are all sitting waiting for the 17th. I must say I am very excited about this patch.

This is all the info I can get..

New major adventures set in new locations. These consist of an underground system of chambers beneath Loc Muine and a temperate coniferous forest in the Loc Muine mountains, and a secret cave passage. These new adventures will add several hours of story-based gameplay to the game.

New major characters to the Witcher story. One of them is Brigida Papebrock Dame. This noble woman comes from the Temerian family Papebrock and is a 30 year old lady-in-waiting of the Temerian court. The other characters are secret--for now!

All new animations and cut scenes, including a new, three and a half minute pre-rendered cinematic depicting the assassination of King Demavend of Aedirn. BAFTA Award winner and Academy Award nominee Tomasz Baginski brings this key historical event to life, setting the stage for the story told in The Witcher 2.

God I love CD Projekt Red...:wub:

If only more developers were like them...

This.

Their next release I'll be picking up the full blown collectors edition to give them more of my money. They deserve it. I would have done the same for The Witcher 2, but I didn't find out about it until October last year.

Well in their defense it wasn't really an ending since this game is based on a middle book in the series.

"We still have at least one big title ahead of us in The Witcher franchise," he told us.

The end of the game did feel abrupt, but the ending fight was just awesome. I remember some real OMG moments with that game.

I honestly wish Witcher 2 won RPG of the year, not Skyrim.

Skyrim had more money behind it. It was always going to 'win'.

 

[Barfo]

can I preload it if I haven't bought it?

Yes, but there is no point in doing that anyway.

[dumb question]

Won't Steam do this automatically once the EE is released?

Yeah but I feel like the whole cutscene at the end seemed a bit rushed and didn't feel as grand as many other parts of the game. There was a ton of omg moments for me in the game all through out. I rank Witcher 2 one of my fav games of all time.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

meh. I think I am one of the few folks here who thought that TW2 was . . . less than stellar.

The combat is FAR from fun, but the story was good IMO.

moar bewbies!!

 

[The Green Bean]

This sucks, I need to download the original game again because I changed HDds and now it thinks I don't have it installed. Will take ages on my connection!

I thought the combat was pretty intuitive and a blast. The combat in TW1 on the other hand was kinda garbage.

The combat in the Witcher 2 is quite possibly the best RPG combat I have seen. It has the combat mechanics Skyrim should have had. After playing TW2, the combat in Skyrim was probably my biggest disappointment in that game.
