From there, the story becomes intricate with politics, violence, vodka, trolls, whores, witches and even a dragon thrown into the mix. The story begins with Geralt of Rivia, who is framed for the murder of King Foltest and escapes to the island of Flotsam to hunt down the real killer, who has ties to Geralt’s forgotten past. The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition does exactly what it claims, but is there more to it than meets the eye?

I figured it’d be a watered down port that didn’t come close to that of the PC experience but then I began to play it and all my fears were washed away with pure delight.
