Yeah they probably had problems with getting all voice actors back, especially as the game is localized in several different countries.
(Funding them and all that, still "Price of neutrality" was a excellent module.)
I do look forward to when this enhancement is released but having to restart is a bit bothersome albeit I understand why it's required.
(Thankfully the game is replayable but I'm quite bored of the prologue and first act by now so I'm taking it easy with the game until it's released.)

holy crap, NO additional voice work in the enhanced version? what a crock. here i was thinking HOLY SHIT THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME! look at all the work theyre putting in... now we find 'ehh... nah we cant be fucked... we just said we would so youd think we gave a shit, hahah you suck!'... wow.. what a huge letdown... its not like they aren't RE-SELLING the enhanced version, so its not like this is a completely free mod or anything, they are planning on re-selling the game so its not like they cant cover the cost of hiring some voice actors...
im still glad i bought the game, it IS a great game, and it IS good that the devs are putting additional work into it, but still i cant help but feel let down by their bullshit lie about the voice work.. if they dont intend to do something, they shouldnt have ever mentioned it to begin with... its a dirty trick on their part.
makes me a bit worried about what else they lied about... atleast the mod editor will allow for the community to pick up the slack...
i know it sounds like im being harsh... i still really like the devs... what i DONT appreciate is being lied to, thats all. like i said, im glad i bought the game, and im 92% definate ill be buying the next game as well.

They only said there won't be additional voice work for the extra module. The main game is still supposed to get it, as far as I know.

thats what i originally thought, and then i actually READ what was being said:
| Quote: | | As for today, voiceovers will not be available with Enhanced Edition. |
so while the core game will maintain the voice work that was always there from the beginning, they will not be putting any new voice work or updating any vocal work for either the downloadable or the retail versions of the enhanced edition.

regardless of the thread topic, that SPECIFIC post clearly discusses and states that it WONT be in the ENHANCED edition.
once again, the quote:
| Quote: | | As for today, voiceovers will not be available with Enhanced Edition. |
also the post was made by someone who seemed to have something to do with the devs, not just another random poster... so yeah, the post specifically talks about the enhanced edition, and that comes from 3 days ago, where as the press release you posted is out of date by over 2 months!!!
so from what you posted, it looks like the devs lied months ago about what was going to be in the enhanced edition, and have now come clean that new and altered dialogue wont be a part of that.
basically the only way new voice over stuff will be in the enhanced edition, is if the guy who posted that in the witcher forum is not in any way part of the dev team and has no inside knowledge... he was pretty clear that what he was talking about was the enhanced edition, not the mod

well all im saying, is someone who seems to be part of the dev team in some way (and therefore would have inside knowledge), made a post on the forum saying that voiceovers will not be in the enhanced version of the game...
to me 'enhanced version' relates specifically to the huge downloadable 'revamp' content and the re-release version that was supposed to be out in may or something... is that what you also understand the 'enhanced version' to be as well?
the guy was pretty clear that he was talking about the enhanced version and not the modules in any way - did you assume when he said enhanced edition he was meaning the modules?
believe me, im SO hoping that the guy has his wires crossed and doesnt know what hes talking about, but the fact that he specifically mentioned 'enhanced edition' makes me think that they may indeed have decided doing all that extra voice work wasnt worth it, and have scrapped it.
to me, a lot of the witcher atmosphere would be stripped out if the additional missions come without spoken dialogue... and while the original dialogue would still be there, i was definately looking forward to the more fleshed out dialogue that we would have heard...
i really dont think i misunderstood what was being said.. once again, ill point out that he specifically used the words 'enhanced edition', so i cant really see how im misreading that... i can only hope that he himself got mixed up and meant to only say the modules.

try the tages mini image and mount with dt pro ... should even work with dt lite.
no problems here ... so far.
i think i will buy the enh. edition of witcher, cause its a nice game so its need support, i think the enh. edition will cost appr. ~30 EUR, it's okay for me.

well we all knew it was coming to consoles... 1: thats where the money is, and 2: they had job postings on their site for 360 designers or whatever
what worries me the most, is witcher 2 being a console game with a pc port.. i hope to fuck it doesnt happen like that.. probably will and it'd be a slap in the face given the love pc gamers showed the devs, but they'll go where the money is i guess

Nope.
Ever since they announced it was gonna be delayed there hasn't been ANY news on the enhanced edition.

That's not quite right. They've announced it would be released in August/September. Here's some more info that came along with it:
- the original release date (16-05-2008) of the Director's Cut edition has been changed to August/September in order to release the game simultaneously in all regions
- the new edition will contain all previous patches and some new ones pre-installed into the game
- there will be 50 new NPCs models added to the game
- loading times between levels will be reduced by 80%
- an additional DVD disc, containing two new story threads that will expand the gameplay by over a dozen hours of gameplay, will be included
- modders will be very pleased because of the implementation of D’jinii tool, which will provide the ability to create their own Witcher stories (The Witcher was entirely made using this tool)
- the edition will contain "the making of" DVD with both, Atari and CD Projekt RED's own, video documentaries
- there will be two soundtrack discs (one containing game OST and the other one, titled The Witcher Inspired, will contain commercial songs by artists such as Vader, Rootwater, Habakuk etc.)
- edition will contain a huge map of the game's world
- Andrzej Sapkowski's short stories will be added to the package as well
- game manual is new and extended (160 pages)
- console version is already in the works at CD Projekt RED
- the Director's Edition of the Witcher isn't the Collector's one, which will be released in the near future

And all this, well, the gameplay changes, will be available for FREE for registered users (at least I hope that's still the same  )

Will this enhanced edition really merit a reinstall and play all over again? It was a good game but damn... I don't know if I can go through it all again so soon.
