replies: text: Can't agree. "Witcher" definitely puts pressure on gameplay rather than graphics. So you're not right :P Lothar25 00:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree either, now that the game has been released it really shows off, as a good, solid RPG that dosnt put all the focus on graphics?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.88.200.107 (talk) 22:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Love how the section on the pretty grafix is larger then one on Gameplay. 

message: This game has repeatedly crashed for many Vista users and has become a major issue reguarding game playability.Crescentia  —Preceding comment was added at 19:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, find reliable sources (meaning news on some (well-known) gaming site, not a forum or blog; forums and blogs might be used if they're by one of the developers, but should still be avoided if possible), and then add the info to the article. If you don't want to write, you could still find sources - makes it that muche easier for someone else to write about it. --VPeric 19:26, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I Googled around and found this review of the game, which included mention of difficulties with Vista. is this reliable enough? Link:  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.62.165 (talk) 13:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure :) AnandTech is a good reliable source. Lothar25 (talk) 21:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Like Vperic said, find reliable sources. The only problems I heard of are with copy protection {Tages).  Most of users playing under Vista don't have any problems running game. Lothar25 (talk) 03:07, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should mention problems with Vista 

message: How do we decide what reviews to include in this section? There are nearly an hundred reviews out there for The Witcher now, from several different countries. BetaTesterDLA (talk) 10:29, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The section needs a radical overhaul, I just haven't had the time to do it lately. Only major/notable sites/magazines should be mentioned, and not in list form (a good guide to decide what's "notable": if it has a wiki page, it's notable enough). Game Rankings and Metacritic can be mentioned too. Furthermore, scores probably shouldn't be mentioned - instead, the good/bad sides the reviewer found should be mentioned. In my opinion, the scores from Game Rankings/Metacritic are enough and no other numerical scores should be mentioned. If I can, I'll try to work on the section this weekend. --VPeric (talk) 11:39, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Right now it's all opinion. If reviewers had those opinions, they need to be sourced. It's awful generalized and fairly negative overall despite the game's mostly positive reviews. Needs to be rebalanced. --Lendorien (talk) 17:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception 

message: Should this section talk about changes and be using terms like 'now'? Perhaps it's better just to stick to a factual description of the game engine as it stands. I can see the case for mentioning significant variations in the use of the Aurora Engine between NWN1, KOTOR, Jade Empire, NWN2, The Witcher and Mass Effect for example, but maybe in an Aurora Engine article, not this one. BetaTesterDLA (talk) 12:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Game Engine 

message: OK, I'm quite baffled here on the plot summary of the game. I don't know whether or not the one stated here's supposed to be canon or not, but then again, The Witcher is a free-roaming RPG granting the player freedom to choose how the story goes. That means that the version stated here may or may not be the true course of the story of the game. Somebody should really look into this thing ASAP. - Frostmourne 16 (talk) 08:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Storyline 

message: Despite the fact that CD Projekt had said previously that the Witcher would be PC only, they appear to be looking for someone skilled in parallel programming for the 360.  This would seem to indicate plans to port to the 360. 71.192.54.222 (talk) 23:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's definitely PC-only from the start :) Lothar25 (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you work for CD Projekt? Their looking to hire parallel 360 programming seems to indicate that while it was PC-only from the start, they're changing their minds. 71.192.54.222 (talk) 05:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No :). But I asked on the official CD Projekt forum and there are no such plans for future development on Xbox 360. And even in link you just mentioned says that: You see, the developer of The Witcher, CD Projekt, has said publically that The Witcher is never, ever going to be on the consoles. So it won't be :). Then why are they looking for X360 programmers ? Maybe because of some new projects which CDP Red can develop (some shooters, action games etc.). Lothar25 (talk) 13:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You clearly aren't reading the article I linked very closely, but y'know, arguing with a Wikipedian is like punching a marshmallow. So nevermind. I don't actually care that much. 71.192.54.222 (talk) 06:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have read the article closely, and I must take Lothar's side. While CD Projekt might be hiring an Xbox developer, the article itself is pure speculation. Furthermore, it has no direct connection to The Witcher. At most, the hiring could be mentioned on CD Projekt's page, but not here. Also, I'm sorry to hear you feel Wikipedians can't be reasoned with. --VPeric (talk) 10:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Yeah... I'm a Polish citizen and as that I observe Polish game market quite closely and I can assure you that there's *no* future plans for Xbox/PS3 as far as "Witcher" is concerned. So I don't know what are you talking about ? Lothar25 (talk) 17:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm Polish too and remember that The Witcher was not created only for the Polish market. Ausir (talk) 22:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but we were talking here about Xbox/PS3 development of the game :). I know that it was released worldwide, but not for consoles (PC-only). Lothar25 (talk) 07:55, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: They are working on a console version: . And while they cannot officially confirm it yet, one of the CDP people said: "We took the xbox version under consideration which is rather natural but the news about the console version are definitely a rumor." . I don't recall any of them saying that it will never be on consoles. They just said at times that they didn't have plans for a console version. But their plans might have changed. Ausir (talk) 13:15, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's interesting 'cause recently I've read on forum.gram.pl (which is still the main source of CD Projekt/CDP Red Studio information) and that's the official answer: http://www.gram.pl/news_9ATgJ,4_Wiedzmin_na_konsole_CD_Projekt_RED_odpowiada.html.  "Informacje na temat konsolowej edycji Wiedźmina są mocno przesadzone." which ( for non-Polish speakers) translates as: "Information about the console version of Witcher are strictly exaggerated". That's official. Lothar25 (talk) 20:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  360 development 

message: The game sold, so far, 600,000 copies. Just to lay those "million" gossips to rest. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 00:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sales information 

message: While it's quite an interesting table, I'm not 100% convinced that the purchasers of the Russian collectors edition recieved superpowers. Also, what's the point of the "Leather Bag" if no-one recieved one? RayBarker (talk) 09:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Judging from some of the past edits to that table (including a pink dildo), it's probably just vandalism (especially the superpowers bit). I'll see what I can do about it. --clpo13(talk) 09:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Fixed. Superpowers removed because it was most likely a joke edit and leather bag removed as being pointless. --clpo13(talk) 10:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Russian collector's edition comes in a leather bag. It not being in any edition was also a vandalism. Ausir (talk) 20:35, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I see it's been added back. Glad that all got fixed up. --clpo13(talk) 21:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contents of each edition 

message: I added some additional information regarding the enhanced edition.  If it's too long, would a list be more appropriate, or should the items of "lesser-import" be omitted?  I'm impartial either way.  Thoughts, comments?  —Archon Magnus(Talk | Home) 02:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Enhanced Edition 

message: Does anyone have a non-circular reference regarding the censorship/alteration between the U.S. version and all the others?  Everything that I've seen has been user comparisons on forums and original research.  Something from the CDProjekt developers or Atari would be nice.  We could finally get rid of the "citation needed" in the variations section.  —Archon Magnus(Talk | Home) 13:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation Needed 

message: http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/news/839.html
I'm not sure about the 100 best selling games claim, but the number itself is probably sound. --VPeric (talk) 19:39, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  New sales info, march 09 

message: "He also curse Adda from a relapse of the striga curse" Is it curse or cures, cures makes more sense.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.7.136 (talk) 16:25, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistake

message: The list of the different retail editions is missing one notable entry. Some time after the Enhanced Edition was released the Polish stores "Empik" introduced an exclusive package that comes along with a figurine. This is an image of both the box and the figurine: 
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/9443/wiedzminempik.png
Aside from that it only includes the regular Enhanced Edition with the bonus DVDs and stuff. I'd add this myself but I don't want to screw up the table which would require another column for the figurine. Also I'd rather want to discuss the proper name for the column here (I mean, "Polish EEEE" for "Polish Empik-exclusive Enhanced Edition" would be weird). --F4LL0UT (talk) 01:51, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Polish "Empik" exclusive retail edition 

message: The use of the enhanced edition cover edition completely fails NFCC.  The cover art is thematically similar to the original work, so it's not introducing anything new, and the cover art is not the subject of significant discussion. --MASEM (t) 04:40, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I think you are right. If we want to add more covers, convince the game developers to use free licenses. Tough luck? Yeah, for them. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
