There
are two
versions of "Medical
Problems 1" available; choose the one
that best suits your needs:
1. This version has everything you need in one file.
a. Download
the
all-in-one
version.
b. Confirm that it downloaded correctly by
checking the
file size. You should have a zipped folder called
med_prob1.zip,
and the file
size should be 571,396 KB or 558 MB.
c. Unzip the folder.
d.
Put the .adv file in C:\Users\Public\Documents\The Witcher
e. Play.
2. For those who are comfortable moving files around on their
hard disks, this version has the adventure and the movies in two
separate files. This should give you somewhat faster loading
times.
a. Download the
no-movies
version. (The
adventure will be incomprehensible if you don't
also download the movies, so be sure to get those.)
b. Download the
movie
folder.
c. Download the
main
loading screen.
d. Unzip the adventure.
e. Put the .adv file in C:\Users\Public\Documents\The Witcher
f. Unzip the movies folder.
g. Put the movie folder into the folder where your
other
Witcher movies are. On my computer, this is at The Witcher
Enhanced Edition\Data\Movies, but the location of the folder varies,
depending not just on your operating system but also on whether you
installed the EE from a disk or upgraded the original edition to the EE
via patch. In any case, if the folder has files like
cs_sex_abigail1.bik
and
intro.bik
in it, it's the right
place.
h. Put the ls_load.dds file in The
Witcher Enhanced
Edition\Data\Override.
Remember
to take this out
of your Override folder when you play
the main game or another module!
i. Play.
Description:
Shani needs help fighting an epidemic of a new, unknown
sickness.
But what could a monster slayer possibly do about a medical problem?
This new adventure for The Witcher
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.
Geralt has monsters to kill, human lives to save, a mystery to solve,
and witcher contracts to fulfill. There are also some ladies
to
woo, though all but one of those are optional. :-)
"Medical Problems" is a new adventure for the computer role-playing
game The
Witcher. It
won't work without The Witcher.
Note also that this
adventure is for the first Witcher
game; it does not work with The
Witcher 2.
Features:
- 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 explorable areas plus
three special areas, with 19 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
- Several hours of gameplay
(Most players take 5 - 6 hours to
finish the game, though a few players have finished in as little as 3
hours and others have taken as long as 16.)
"Medical Problems 1" and
"Medical Problems
2"
The file on this page is "Medical Problems 1: The Village
Mystery." Does that mean that you'll have to play "Medical
Problems 2: The Witcher Disease" when you finish this one?
Short answer: No. :-)
Longer answer: The mystery of what's happening in Riverford
is
solved by the end of MP1. Everything that's happening in the
village is wrapped up and done by the end of MP1. The sequel
is
set up by the events that happen during the last few minutes of MP1.
But you'll have finished what you came to Riverford to do,
and
the mystery will be solved.
Of course, I hope you
will play
MP2
-- that's why I set up the sequel, after all. :-) But you
don't
have to. MP1 is complete on its own.
How to
get help, ask questions, and make comments:
If you like "Medical
Problems," I'd love to hear what you like
about it! You can send comments to
medicalproblemsquiz
at gmail dot com.
"Medical Problems" comes with four text files (which are also available
on this site):
1.
An
installation manual
2.
A
hint sheet
3.
A
list of cool things to be
sure to see
4.
A
walkthrough
Walkthroughs take half of the fun out of a game, so it's only there in
case of a playing "emergency." :D If you get stuck or have a
question that isn't covered in the installation manual or the hint
sheet, ask it in
the
"Medical Problems" thread on the Witcher Forum,
and I'll answer you.
You can ask
questions and make comments at the
Medical Problems 1 thread at the
official Witcher forum,
at the
Witcher Nexus page for "Medical
Problems 1" or at
the ModDB page for "Medical Problems
1."
Also available are
Choices
and Consequences
Pictures
Oh,
and if you think you can make a
better adventure for
The Witcher than
"Medical Problems," please do! :-)
