I bought the US version of The Witcher, but after I realized I had a cut version, I downloaded an international release copy (Yeha yeah yeah, I've also bought the Witcher twice and am getting it a third time, so don't lecture me on piracy). It wasn't just the sex cards I noticed. I remember in the international version, in the first area, it was possible to slice the heads off of people as a finishing move. In fact, I remember the international version giving you a prompt on how to do it. The US version didn't have dismemberment and less blood.

After getting the Enhanced Edition, and patching it, I never noticed any dismemberment like I did with the international release version, nor was the prompt on finishing moves there. I know I'm not crazy, and I know it WAS in there. I'm not saying it's stopping me from getting it again, but I really oppose censorship on something intended for mature audiences, and is far tamer than other games.

I just restarted The Witcher a couple of nights ago because I want to have a save ready for The Witcher 2. I have the US Enhanced Edition Director's Cut and I can assure you that there is dismemberment, a lot of blood, and a tutorial tip for Coups de grâce.

I don't know why you think I might be offended, since I mocked the same thing.

Well, you can never know how one would act. I've had bad experience on other forums bashing the US for some of its ways of functioning, kind of getting bored with me being always the bad guy. :)

But good to know that we're on the same side here.

I far from agree with all US bashing I read from Europeans, but on the stupidly uptight about sex and naked bodies while reveling in violence thing I agree completely.

With Cher Edition(look at thread title :D)?? So Sonny Bono is a secret character in the game?Do you have to fight a monster that looks like Cher?? Let this be true!
