Uncensored edition has all the nude parts kept in. This is esp. apparent in after-sex cards (you get a card for banging specific women) - it is heavy on nudity (but not porn), in censored versions the cards all show clothed women.
Get the uncensored edition - this was the Standard edition in Poland. The Witcher was created by A. Sapkowski, and nudity & sex is frequent throughout all of his books with Geralt. Trust me, the Uncensored verison is what the author would've considered "closest" to his books ^^. #thewitcher

You do get some physical extras (cloth map, etc.) with the more expensive editions, however. #thewitcher

At the end of 1990s/early 2000s they got hit with government probe - they used vague tax laws to re-import computers from Czech Republic and bypass the VAT. This was not against the law per-say, however Polish Tax System is very bad, with different tax offices having different interpretations of the same tax rules. In the end the Tax Office and the Court went with "if it doesn't go to State's pocket, it's against the law", and they fined Optimus for many millions PLN. Add to that losing market share to all the other Western companies coming in to Poland (HP, Toshiba, Sony), and now I haven't seen Optimus-branded computers in like 6-7 years now. #thewitcher

CDProject published it.
Yes, we're not very creative when it comes to company names in Poland. #thewitcher

So, my advice is either live without it or invest in a PC that can play it.

(note: I have not played The Witcher so this joke will be rife with inaccuracies) #thewitcher

If you had played the original, pre-patch version, you probably would've lost them in your inventory due to the lack of auto inventory sort features. #thewitcher

Needless to say I think Bash was trying to say CDP were bought out :) #thewitcher

The headline gave me the jist I needed to glide through the story though. #thewitcher

What's this about The Witcher being mediocre. The worse part is you mention it as casually as racism is on a KKK forum. #thewitcher

All sounds good.
As long as they don't mess up GoG.
Also "63 million zlotych" tutut, you can't use game currency as real money.
Next we'll find out SE bought Eidos for 500million gil.

Just all these weird currencies in use as real money and ingames stuff like Gil.
It wouldn't be surprising if they overlapped one point. #thewitcher

Also if you're getting the witcher for the combat system than this isn't your type of game. You probably want to stick with the JRPGs.

seriously. The witcher came out before assassins creed andis based on a series of books written long before that.

When I do get around to fixing up my pc really do plan on getting the latest re-packaging of The Witcher since it has all the fixes / extras that made the game excellent according to all of those who I know that owned the game.
