The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in
role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with
a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game
universe, the player takes on the role of renowned monster slayer,
Geralt of Rivia, in an epic, action-packed narrative in which his
decisions have a major impact on how the story plays out. The
Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant
world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like
no game before it.
Two new adventures included:
• "The price of neutrality" - Geralt comes back to
Kaer Morhen for winter. He finds a small camp near the stronghold
where he meets a nobleman and a sorceress Sabrina Glevissig. They
came here to find Deidre, a young woman, who is staying in the
witchers’ stronghold. She is Eskel’s surprise child, born
under the Black Sun (ancient prophecy says that such children
would ruin the World). It turns out that the nobleman is her
brother, who wants to make sure she will not have the crown.
Sorceress Sabrina wants to kill Deidre and examine her body to
find out the truth about Black Sun curse. Geralt has to decide to
whether defend the girl or stay neutral.
• "Side effects" - Dandelion gets into trouble in
Vyzim. Geralt has to collect a certain amount of money to buy him
out and pay for his excesses. He collects the money by completing
various tasks. Player can join effects of one task with another.
For example: in a fistfight competition he can win cash or a
bottle of alcohol. If he chooses to take the booze, he can use it
to get one bandit drunk. Then he will give Geralt a key to a chest
with loot. The mood of the story is similar to Dandelion’s
incidents with Vespula and Bibervelt’s economics.
