The Witcher Director's Cut Patch Brings Joys of Nudity

I find it hilarious that I bought this at an Australian retail store completely uncensored, at an MA15+ rating, even though we have a history of having an anal censorship committee and no R18+ rating.

While you Americans are only just now, something like a year later, getting a tiny patch to bring back a few boobies and swear words.

There's something seriously wrong with a nation that legally carries around semi-automatics while acting so immature.

The protection on this game is RIDICULOUS.

I got this game free with a videocard purchase. I installed it with relatively no issues, but couldn't register because the game didn't come with a key... Or maybe it was on the sleeve and I lost it. When EE (enhanced edition) came out, I wasn't registered so I couldn't update. I contacted Atari, and they sent me a new key. This was about a year ago. It registered fine and I played and had fun etc.

Anyway, last march or so, I formatted my PC and put Windows 7 on there. When I tried to reinstall Witcher, it wouldn't let me update because it said I wasn't registered. So, I put in my login info that I originally registered with, and it asked me for my key, so I put in the key that Atari sent me about a year ago. Then, it says that my key is already in use by another account. WTF? I'm using the same account I originally registered with, same login and password. So, I'm stuck with vanilla Witcher, can't patch, can't upgrade to EE. I've tried contacting Atari twice about it in the past couple weeks, no response whatsoever.

I've pretty much given up on playing this game. It sucks because I legally own it.

this is fustrating I want to try these patches but I lost my manual with the cd key :(

Is it up on steam?

Does the DRM in the retail version of this require you have your disc in the drive?

It's really time I play my copy of this game, unfortunately I *think* the DVD drives in my main computer don't work right. I guess that goes to show how often I use them. I just remember upon buying the uber extreme version of Fallout3 having to work around using a local disc drive.

Maybe this will make me throw the extra drive I have in there.

it's not just nudity restored btw. Don't know if the patch specifies it, but there should be some dialog changes as well. Conversations with some NPC's are a bit more "colorful" in the import version than in the original US release.

Every time I hear about The Witcher, I get very interested, but have just never picked it up. If you were to compare it to a few other games, what would it be like?

I'm just finishing up Act 3 right now, have I missed any crucial nip?

Also, concerning this final battle in Act 3, how many of these dudes do I have to kill? I must have slaughtered a hundred before the game crashed on me.

Hmm...I still haven't played through this game even though I bought it on release. :(
