There’s a new patch out for The Witcher. It’s not the huge one they promised that will rework the English dialogue and improve the engine though, this one just adds one new quest module, the editor, and some other minor fixes. But, according to the patch notes, they recommend that you restart the game due to expected glitches and other incompatibilities with current save games. Whoops.
I didn’t intend to apply this patch anyway since I’m waiting for the big one, but unfortunately the same thing will probably also apply to it. So, at this point, I have to decide whether to go on and finish the game as it is right now anyway, or to wait and get all the improvements but have to restart and redo the first three chapters all over again. Argh.
