Triss’s fabulous auburn hair aroused great envy and admiration in those who beheld her, though they were always most impressed by the young sorceress’s extraordinary knowledge of the magical arts. She was an advisor to King Foltest and a hero of the war with Nilfgaard, after which she carried with pride the nickname ‘the Fourteenth of the Hill.’ Yet above all else Triss was a dear friend to Geralt of Rivia. This wise, kind-hearted, noble sorceress stood by the witcher’s side during many of his most dire moments, and their relationship in time grew to something more than mere friendship.
The oldest witcher of the Northern Kingdoms and the only survivor of the Kaer Morhen massacre. He trained Geralt and to this day continues to be both friend and mentor to the younger witcher. Though the days of his youth are but a distant memory, witcher mutations and elixirs have kept him in prime condition, and he still accepts contracts for even the toughest monsters. While on the whole his manner is coarse and stern, he is warm and caring towards his friends.
This young knight, son of the famous Eyck of Denesle, inherited his father’s ideals as well as his incredible strength, which lets him swing his heavy sword tirelessly whilst clad in full armor. Young Siegfried joined the ranks of the Order of the Flaming Rose to fight against monsters and all the other evils that plague the common folk, accompanied by others who burn with a similar passion. A noble young man with a kind heart and a good head on his shoulders, Siegfried got along quite well with Geralt. His friendship with the witcher changed his life forever.
A proud elf from Dol Blathanna. Once she despised all humans without exception, seeing in them a race of primitives and brutes. Only by meeting Dandelion and Geralt did she become aware that there are indeed humans who are noble and sensitive to beauty. After that the beautiful elf abandoned her drive for war and sought to solve the conflict between the races with words instead of the sword. Her efforts failed, however, and elves and humans were soon at each other’s throats yet again. Toruviel rejoined the elven rebels - but did so with a heavy heart.

Changes & fixes in version 1.6.1 (20th Sept. 2012)

  1. Problems with memory allocation resulting in crashes and "Out of memory!" messages have been corrected resulting in stability in tests improving by 30% or even by 80% depending on the computer's components.

  3. Most of the issues with crashes occurring during locations' loading have been fixed.
  4. Additionally, a small, yet noticeable performance improvement has been achieved, especially on older Macs.

Being based on a novel series by Andrzej Sapkowski – a bestselling Polish author – gives the game’s universe and characters credibility, authority and exceptional cohesiveness. In this harsh fantasy world abstract, absolute and unconditional ideas such as “Good” and “Evil” written in upper case letters do not exist. Instead, however, while moral good exists , the protagonist will often only have a choice between two evils, deciding on the path which he regards as the lesser evil of the two.

The story begins with Geralt reappearing after being feared dead. He is found unconscious, dazed and with only a vague recollection of past events. This way, players unfamiliar with Sapkowski’s works will be able to gradually immerse into the fantasy realm.
The game features an innovative, time delayed decision-consequence system, prodding players to make their decisions seriously and with thought.

The whole world does not revolve just around Geralt. NPCs will lead their lives independently of the protagonist, yet upon interaction they can be influenced by and react to the Witcher’s actions. It’s basically a living world, of which Geralt is only a part of, despite his involvement in its ultimate fate.

No knight he, though a master of the sword

No wizard he, though adept in secret magic

He did not care to save the world, yet for many he was a deliverer

He was no murderer though he killed for a living

The legend of him that arose

is not over



The player assumes the role of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher – a professional monster slayer. Abandoned as a child, he was subjected to rigorous training and mutation he is an ultimate killing machine with supernatural abilities. As a witcher he is a sword master with little contestation. While not a wizard or sorcerer, Geralt uses magical Signs in a supportive role to the rest of his arsenal. His organism Is capable to process highly toxic potions that further enhance his combat skills. Members of the Witcher caste are bred to protect human life by slaying monsters, yet they are often perceived as such beasts themselves.

The witcher features a completely unique combat system, which blends tactical choice known from RPG games and fast paced action from action adventure games. Combat effectiveness depends on the player’s ability to appropriately combine melee, magic signs and potion skills. The combination of two types of blades with 3 different fighting styles gives a vast variation of the witcher’s technique in combat.
