It sort of happens. I've given another example earlier: Saints Row The Third. The PC version is quite alright and is visually far superior to the console versions. Some effort was put into it at least, and (assuming you like that kind of game and have adequate hardware) you'll be happy you got the PC version. The console version runs and looks like crap compared to the PC version on high end hardware. I'm not saying it's the perfect game otherwise, so let's not even go there.

In most cases, the PC version is just the same old thing with more resolution settings and worse controls. This is what I wouldn't want in the next CDPR game.

 So it appears that the Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition is out for PC and as with the first it's a free download to people who own the original Witcher 2(like me). Can someone clue me in on how I can get this(I've got the gog.com version). Do I just launch it and it updates automatically or something?

Yea pretty much I'm assuming you don't have the steam version?

The new content was pretty cool. They integrated it very well- feels like it should have been there all along, unlike some DLC.

Wasn't there some cute little blonde you were supposed to meet somewhere? An assassin or something? Or is that just Roche's path?

[Costin_Razvan]

That's just Roche's path. If you only care to see the new content there I do have a save available I can give for Act 3.

Oh, maybe I'll do another Roche game. I'm nearing the end and wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

[Costin_Razvan]

What did you do with Cynthia? Your cannon on Iorveth is to save Triss right?

[Addai]

I let Cynthia go. My Geralt is a softie.

The new ending is pretty impressive. I'm going to have so much fun killing those Nilfgaardian bastards. Though I have to admit, they are spiffy dressers.

Speaking of spiffy, Geralt looks awesome in the Vran armor with Elder Blood gauntlets and pants. vavavooom

A couple little things... Iorveth was injured at the end of the game, I don't recall this happening before. I thought he walked out with Geralt and Triss at the end.  I guess that was Philippa's doing, after you see her burning rats- good to get some closure on those little things.  Also I never met up with Aryan LaValette anywhere.

He doesn't walk out with Geralt if you save Triss, he was always injured. Aryan is near the entrance to amphitheater.

[A-K-M]

I'm not so worried about them going multi platform considering we're talking about next gen consoles.

It was the same in my last go, and I just assumed he had duked it out with Phillipa. Poor bastard. Every time I've spared Ayran I find him in Loc muinne.

"The company does plan to branch out though. The age of the PC exclusive - for CD Projekt RED at least - is over, with executive producer John Mamais confirming that "we're going multi-platform and will support DX11". "

If they still put effort into the PC version, it's alright by me. However, that is not the norm.

I wonder if they keep being successful then.

The PC exclusiveness was a big part of their appeal, just like Demon Souls / Dark Souls got part of its strength from console-exclusiveness (and now they get bad PR because they decided to fulfill playerwishes and make a PC version).

Polished for one system is just always better than half-assed for all.

Nope, just the one I pre-ordered and downloaded on gog.com

Question regarding the story. On Iorveth's path, why do the rebels win the battle of Vergen against Henselt's army? Is Geralt's presence really that much of a gamechanger? I mean if you look at the state of Vergen in Roche's path, Saskia hasn't been poisoned because Prince Penis happened to die in the wraith's mist. Wouldn't the rebels be stronger since their leader didn't fall ill? And Iorveth is in Vergen as well, despite Geralt helping in capture in Chapter One. 

I love the Siege of Vergen don't get me wrong, but it still puzzles me how Saskia and her followers could win against such a great army just because of one witcher.

Iorveth's reinforcements and locking Henselt within Vergen are what win the battle. Geralt just buys them some time.

I assumed that without Geralt there, there was no one he trusted enough to protect Saskia to leave her with while he went to gather the other Squirrels.

[KJandrew]

As a minor nitpick, all the Blue Stripes are the same model in the canteen. Its nothing major just slightly annoying.

Though I must say the fight in the mines to get to Dethmold on Roche's path had better atmosphere than most horror games.

Yeah, I guess that's a logical enough explanation. I forgot that Iorveth left Vergen to gather the remaining Scoiatel and join the battle. He probably never leaves Vergen in Roche's path because he's so concerned for Saskia's safety. It makes sense that he'd trust Geralt enough to protect Saskia.

Ok, it was just my bad memory then.  I like how you don't even get to provoke the guys guarding Iorveth- Geralt just needs to go bonkers on them and Triss asks "Tell me what just happened."

I must have missed Aryan, then- I'll have to replay the end.  I'd like to replay and see what happens if I save Philippa too.

Since we pick up Philippa's dagger from them, I'm really hoping that means we can un-curse Saskia in future content.

Saskia still fell under Philippa's control, so it's very likely that she was indeed poisoned. I do not think Prince Penis was behind it (though he probably knew about it and didn't do anything).

I am convinced that it's Philippa. She already had the Rose of Remembrance, taken from Triss who was transformed into a statuette on her order (unlike Sile who ordered Pangrat to kill Letho and everyone with him, ie Triss, Philippa just wanted her temporarily neutralized). All she needed was an excuse and opportunity to use the rose of remembrance on Saskia. Iorveth is too cunning and suspicious to allow Philippa to cast a spell without good reason, so I think the poisoning must have happened. And Iorveth was the one who gathered up the ingredients for the curse.

He's located right by the entrance to the amphitheatre.

I really don't think it was Philippa, as she specifically says that she didn't know about Saskia's unique condition until after she got to examine her in private.  If she was behind the poison scheme... then it was under the expectation that Saskia would die.  She didn't have any reason for the Rose of Remembrance beforehand... she just wanted to take advantage of a situation that presented itself to her.

[KnightofPhoenix]

That's what she tells you, obviously she doesn't want to draw suspicion. I think Eilhart knew before that Saskia was a dragon who can survive the poison.

[Addai]

It's true that all Geralt recovers is circumstantial evidence, though none of the circumstantial evidence points to Philippa. It seems the writers would at least cast some suspicion on her if indeed she was behind the poisoning. Furthermore, it wasn't necessary for her to go to such drastic lengths. Saskia was politically naive and accepted Philippa's word that the sorceresses would support Upper Aedirn. She could have been manipulated without risking her life or risking exposure as a fraud.

[KnightofPhoenix]

Saskia was naive, but she was also a wild card, see her attempt to murder Foltest which was not the Lodge's plans. Philippa's plan would make Saskia a far better tool.

There is no damning evidence against Philippa, but she is the main benefactor, is smart enough to pull it off and she consistently lied to Geralt and manipulated him before (about Triss and the rose). Such a thing is not beyond her at all, quite the contrary.

She had Triss and the rose before the poisoning happened. It makes sense for her to be behind it (via the priest).

She did not have Triss and the rose. It was Cynthia who captured Triss and turned her into a statue. 

And I don't see the logic of Philippa poisoning Saskia on the eve before the battle of Vergen. The Lodge didn't want Henselt to conquer Aedirn. Why would Philippa risk their plans by poisoninng the one person who could oppose him? And the poison was magepain, which according to Geralt would have killed a normal human eventually. I don't think Philippa would have risked the death of Vergen's savior by resorting to such a ridiculously powerful toxin. At the time she had no idea Saskia was a dragon. 

It's much more likely that Philippa resorted to other means to control Saskia.
