There's more info on the game here in the unofficial FAQ than you'll ever care to know. I think basically the entire plot is written out along with every mechanic/feature.
It was just checked by a admin/member from RED too, and it was extremely accurate.

I wonder how early they'll put it up.

I'd like to think that cdpr would be smart about it with a game so large. If anything, I guess I can remote desktop at work and start the download if they put it up a little later.
A midnight download would be awesome. Does gog have any kind of system they follow when releasing a "new" release?
Maybe the game will end up packaged in a way that some of the files are put up early. I will probably end up playing Brink all day and just let the Witcher 2 download overnight if there is no pre load.Salaadin said:File size is huge.

Off the top of my head the biggest games on GOG are only about 2 gigabytes. I think the biggest releases like BG2 and Planescape were surprise ones where no one knew what game was coming that specific day. They have not done a pre order 20 gigabytes scenario before.Salaadin said:If I had the money, I would

Let's not get too carried away, the game files are supposed to be around 8GB! Maybe they are compressed even smaller, or maybe the 8GB is the compressed size, but the FAQ says:
So the bonus content will be separate most likely for GOG downloads, like it normally is. Still an 8GB download even at 1MB/sec is around 2-3 hours.

They'll probably have 5-6 files for the main game and all the bonus content as separate download (200MB soundtrack, 2GB making of videos, 20MB manual, 40MB artbook, etc), if they do it like the rest of their games. They have a few things over 4GB on the site now. There's a .exe setup file that's like 100kb, then they split the installer in to 2GB files, so if it's 8GB there'd be 4 2GB files to download.

In the books Shani is about as important as a sex trading card.Miri said:

Yup, sounds like they will only offer one language at launch (you choose which one) and then let you download other languages separate like the did with the Enhanced Edition. Means I might not get to play Polish with Eng subs but at least I will have the option at some point.Grayman said:

The games take place after the books, except for one short story written as a wedding gift for a friend of the author.

Wait, what ? I thought the GTX570 was one of the best card out there ?
I'm starting to think that I should replace my HD4890 if I want to play this game with everything maxed out...

LordPhoque said:
Not to speculate too much, because we don't know, but playing with everything maxed on a 4890 at 30-60fps is probably not happening. There is a quote a while back that having a high end video card should run the game at 30fps maxed out, but who knows what they mean by high end. It's probably not a 4890 though!

Good grief those pics look heavenly.
What kind of specs are we talking about here, max everything?

And the devs responded with:
@buggeer: Official requirements are not out yet so I can't answer this. hint: be sure to read our newsletter in couple days though
http://tw2.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=31346.0
Devs have red names. MM360 has been doing most of the answering but it looks like Keth is joining in now.
But yeah, sounds like we will be getting more details on the specs in a few days. Im guessing Fri-Sat since thats when I got the last newsletter.
Can You Run It ? has listed The Witcher 2, you can see if your computer can run it :

I finished chapter two and have been playing chapter 3 of the first game the last few days.
Does anyone know is Geralt is going to be more mobile in the sequel? In the opening movie and a scene in game he can move almost like an assasin's creed character. I had figured he would be glued to the ground in the witcher 2 but the opening movie and diving into a ruin under a bank made me wonder tonight.

I basically smoke that test. I don't think there's any game that will truly challenge my rig other than BF3.Kenka said:
