So for those of you who own the PC version, this comes FREE.
For those of you who are considering getting this on the 360, I'd advise you to get it. This is a really amazing action RPG, with a story, music, and voice acting which is much better than most movies.
You do NOT need to play the previous game to enjoy this. It helps, but it's not absolutely necessary.
Some screenies.

I'm gonna post some screenies later. |
Do you mean this is free on the PC if we own the PC version (thats what Im guessing lol)(I think steam just auto upgrades it? lol I just saw I already have itlol)
Ive only gotten about 17 hours into it, but I really like it. I bought the first one, but the style of combat was way too weird for me and Im still enjoying the 2nd one.

Same. I probably should have played the original before the sequel.

I tried too, but witcher 2 imo is a pretty big upgrade in the animation and combat. I got about 10 hours in and decided to try and paly the first, I think Ill just play it after I finish 2 (whenever that may be lol)

Quite a few new quests in the enhanced, and some awesome CGI movies. The one where Letho assassinates the King (forgot his name, but he has his head when he meets Iorveth in the cave) is bleeping amazing.

I was never a fan of Oblivion or Fallout 3, and I have Skyrim and have no will to play it. I like Witcher 2.
What do you hate about Skyrim though?

It's more action and story, but less RPG oriented than Skyrim.

I finished both the first and second days after the release so I did not play any DLC of the 2nd. Can someone please tell how many new quests are there and if they are "go from A to B and do something"?
Thanks

Supposedly Enhanced adds several quests, I'll be playing it tonight, I don't know the details right now.
Did you play the DLC Troll quest? If they're anything like that one, I'll be very happy.

They added new CGI movie of Letho assassinating the king as I earlier mentioned.

So incredibly mad this isn't coming to PS3. Why isn't it? 
I want this on PC so bad. Unfortunately, I'm having issues with my PC. There's no chance it can handle a game like this right now.

How are the controls? I have to assume that they're way different than the controls for The Witcher. I was terrible at the mouse combat in the first one.
I haven't decided if I want to get this for PC or Xbox. I'm leaning toward the latter, but I haven't determined yet. |

Yes, it is VERY different than the original.
No issue with controls other than the targeting system. I'm not sure if there were fixes, or I am just more used to it, or both, but when I 1st started it was extremely frustrating because the target focus would switch in a battle against multiple foes right before I attacked and I ended up attacking someone I didn't want to, and ended up out of position. Now I have no issues with it.
There's really no aiming involved, so I don't think it matters if you play on PC or a controller. I've tried using a 360 controller on the PC, and I prefer using the mouse to swing the camera around with more precision. Not a big deal really.
