Now available on FileShack is the 1.3 patch for The Witcher. Coming in at 323mb, the patch fixes a few bugs but more importantly, includes the Price of Neutrality module developed by CD Projekt. The new adventure, said to include about two hours of gameplay, takes place on the outskirts of Kaer Morhen. Here Geralt will find out more about other witchers, which were featured only briefly in the main game.
