This person had the same problem:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/843440/problems-with-dependencies-for-the-witcher-2-ubuntu-16-10-x64
The solution (from that page) was:
"Try the following command in Terminal (you can use Ctrl + Alt + T to open the Terminal and then Ctrl + Shift + V to paste in the Terminal):
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-image-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libcurl3:i386
Make sure it doesn't try to remove any crucial packages like your window manager. It might list some packages under 'The following packages will be removed:' before it says 'Do you want to continue? [Y/n]'.

Hello david_cosmin,
@Hickory's answer pretty much sums it up. As the game requirements field says: https://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_2
Requires the following packages: libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-image-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libcurl3:i386 and dependencies.
So you have to run these commands to update your system packages and then install game dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-image-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libcurl3:i386
And like @Hickory said, make sure that the command won't remove any installed already packages.

Thanks for your help :D

I just built a new PC and tried to install the witch 2
I have done the following: sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 libasound2-data:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libsdl2-image-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libcurl3:i386
however the following Dependancy are missing I coulded copy the text out so it is a phot. Looks like I am missting a lot of the i386 library.... not sure what do
