I'm
making a new
adventure for The
Witcher, to
be called "Medical Problems."
It's very close to
completion, and I expect to release it in just a few weeks.
"Medical Problems" is intended to go between
The Witcher and
The
Witcher 2. It's intentionally piggy-backing onto the story
in the
main game. No disrespect to CDPR is intended; I wanted more, so I
went ahead and made it. :-)
On his way from Vizima to Maribor, Geralt drops in to see Shani, only
to find her frantic with worry about an illness that she's been unable
to cure. Geralt obtains the monster parts she needs for her medicine,
they brew up a potion together, and their investigation into the causes
of that illness eventually leads them to an international conspiracy
that only Geralt can deal with.... Funny how in Geralt's life,
even little things always seem to become more complicated. :-)
The game has several different possible endings, depending on which
choices you make while playing. Three choices each have
consequences, and which ending you get depends on the combination of
choices.
You have monster parts to collect, a mystery to solve, and some witcher
contracts to fulfill.
"Medical Problems" has:
- 12 quests (only 11 of which can be completed in any one game,
since two
of them are mutually exclusive)
- 45 NPC's, all of which have names and conversations of their
own.
There's no one in this game who's named "Peasant" or "Townswoman," and
no two conversations are identical -- all 45 of them have something
different to say!
- 18 areas, with 16 new loading screens
- 40 monsters to kill
- 6 sex cards to get, including one new one and 5 recolored ones
- Many, many recolors of clothes, items, and even some areas
- Several new items
