Stop the presses: Witcher Director's Cut adds nudity

by Xav de Matos on Jul 15th 2009 2:00AM

CD Projekt's role-playing game The Witcher is getting another update, adding to the content found in the 2008 Enhanced Edition release. Owners of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition will be able to upgrade to the game's Director's Cut free-of-charge via patch. The newest version of the game will also be available for purchase on TheWitcher.com, Impulse, Steam and Direct2Drive.

Along with adding updates found in the recent 1.5 patch -- which removed The Witcher's DRM and added new community-created content -- the Director's Cut will restore nudity previously removed from the North American release of the (overly buxom) Enhanced Edition. If staring at digital lady and man bits from an engine that got its original start in 2002 is your thing, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut is the definitive edition you seek.

is he wearing assless chaps or something

nope. Joystiq was just attempting humor.

i like when people specify, arent all chaps in the nature of their being ass-less? chaps just go over your pants, and when you say ass-less i guess your specifying the fact that there are no pants beneath, as one would assume that just saying one is wearing chaps they are also wearing pants... what where we talking about again?

This is what I've been waiting for.

When you bonk a lady in it, it gives you a card, which they removed some bubbles from. I can't say it sounds much fun, but hopefully they'll be equal and show some polish sausage.

Would you witch me?

I'd witch me. I'd witch me hard.

Oh no!! Western civilization is about to crumble!!

But seriously, good for them. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'd rather my kid see a tit than somebody shot in the face.

what about someone being shot in the tit?

Wow, for a children's superhero, you have a seriously warped mind, Mr. Wayne

children? Did you see TDK? A dude didnt have half a face, a clown guy lit a guy on fire on top of a pile of money, and then had his pals cut up a man and feed him to dogs! Comic books arent for kids noob!

Didn't Joker once kill off a baseball team...of kids, in one of the comics?

HOW IS BATMAN FOR KIDS!!

Burn victims? Children murdered?

Last time I checked, you had a uncanny resemblence to Adam West, rode in a red-and-black Batmobile, had shark repellent, invented the Batusi and had Robin around. Plus, Didn't Joker had a moustache ?

Let's rephrase. Batman WAS for kids.

So the Adam West version is better? A grown man makes a young boy wear skimpy tights and makes him respond to his every order? Yeah, that sounds like something that kids would be more attracted to. I'm surprised West didn't pull out the M&Ms and ask kids to get into his batmobile...

Actually blank mage, in the original bob kane things, they were certainly not for kids, very very dark. I even used to use a gun and killed people back then, and the joker's violence was fully depicted

And as for the Robin comment, just having him around doesn't suddenly make the stories cheerier and kid friendlier.

A Death in the Family anyone?
(for those less versed in comic lore, this would be the one where the Joker violently beats Robin to death.)

I think i might have to get this just to balance out the full frontal cock from TLAD.

I'm not up to speed on my acronyms, sorry.

The Dark Wayne is referring to the flip-flop from The Lost And The Damned.

Cocks are edgy, I guess. Remember when they first started doing "bullet time" effects in movies, and then evvvveryone was doing it for the next few years? Same thing with cocks. You just have to sit back, buckle in, and endure the cock parade until directors/game developers get tired of them and move on to something new... which I'm guessing will have to be something like colonoscopy minigames to really raise the bar.

Fuck vaginas!

test... my old account stopped posting comments... it kept saying "thank you an email has been sent to you" but i never got an email. and my email/password was alright. come to think of it... i had just changed my name... hmm...

see below you, meant that for you. \/

Ok-ay, that was weird....

That's one of the few good things about living in Europe. Sure we get screwed the release dates of pretty much every game and the nifty features North Americans take for granted are nowhere to be seen, but at least over here nudity and such isn't that big of a deal to most people.
So not many censored games in that department and no crazy people on TV screaming "Oh noes, teh boobies in videogames! Think of the children!!".

Yup. Take Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy for you stateside) for example. We Europeans got the sex scenes. ;)

That's what mods are for, so freaks can have nipple-less topless Barbie Horse Adventures PC Edition.

In North America, Violence > Sex. Look at how bad it was for Clinton to receive a sexual act from Monica (aside from the whole married thing). People were up in arms over that (some of the smarter people were upset because he lied about what he did and rightfully so ) - but when the VP shoots a friend in the face on a hunting trip, that's okay.

A better example is the contrast in outrage of the two following scenarios.
1) Invading Iraq with knowingly false intelligence or;
2) Having Janet Jackson's nipple show at the Superbowl.

Sitting back, you would think that invading a country, killing hundreds of people would spark more of an outrage but no, you would be wrong.

Nobody cared about Clinton and Monika. His approval rating during that time barely budged. Right wing media and affair totin' Newt blew it all out of proportion.

I'm still pissed that they canned the Console versions.

Tell me about it, The Witcher was one of the PS3 games I was looking forward to after The Last Guardian

I'd like to buy the Polish Collectors Edition which is the definitive edition with a ton of swag, like a trading card game, carrying bag, artbook etc.

Will the Director's Cut be released in physical box format with all the goodies the Enhanced Edition came with?

Sorry, didn't mean that as a reply.
I was hoping that if Witcher did come to consoles, the PC would get that version too since it would have had an all new combat system and what-not, which I would have wanted to see. At least the PC still has this exclusive. : )

I was looking for an excuse to get this game, and now I have one.

No more DRM.

The addition of the original art for the cards one receives whenever one, to quote Ethan, "bonks a lady" has been available for some time, although not officially. There is, I think, one character, a nymph or something, whose character model was nude in game so I'm assuming they're fixing that as well.

Regardless it's good to see that they've finally agreed that, if a player is able to handle depictions of decapitation they may also be able to handle depictions of breasts.

Not necessarily, remember Janet Jackson?

Nudity in video games? I find that completely unnecessary.

Is it completely necessary that you are forced to buy it for some reason?

Of course not. But I wouldn't buy a game because there is nudity in it. For some gamers, it's as close as they'll come to seeing a nude woman, but for me it doesn't add anything to the game, and something that doesn't add anythign to a game isn't necessary.

The PC fanboy in me says I'm glad The Witcher was cancelled for consoles. Let the dear old PC have its kickass exclusives too! : P

I bought the import version last year from GoGamer so I have been enjoying painted naked ladies and their painted naked boobies all this time anyway.

Xav, in your attempt to be funny, I think perhaps you missed this salient bit about CD Projekt Red's use of Aurora: "although the rendering engine was written from scratch."
