I honestly have not had a problem with the loading times since patch 1.3. The only specific loading time that takes more than 20 seconds is the initial loading of a saved game. But, within the game, loading takes maybe 10 seconds at most...most of the time.

But, here's the screenshot of the new Inventory:

The old inventory was sometimes a nightmare. It's good to see alchemical ingredients in a separate box. As for loading times did you sense a reduction from vanilla witcher to enhanced edition? Loading times weren't a problem for me either it's just that a further reduction was promised for the enhanced edition.

I was only able to get TWEE installed just before I had to leave for work. I'm just now getting home and will be spending some time with the upgraded version. I'll post an update soon.

UPDATE: I've spent a couple of hours playing non-stop. The loading times are definitely much faster. I believe mine are running somewhere around 3-5 seconds when entering/leaving the dwellings. Maybe around 5-7 seconds when going through the gate to the Dike.

Also, the animations when in a discussion seem a bit more 'appropriate' to the conversation.

I just wish they'd removed that silly animation that Geralt goes through quite often at the end of defeating a boxing opponent. It's just very silly in my opinion.

I got two game manuals with my enhanced edition, contacting them to get one replaced with the game guide. It really does load far far faster than before. I just wish that all the books were translated into english, instead of having to wait ages.

Just installed Witcher EE, started "The Price of Neutrality" module on highest difficulty and played for an hour or two. The loading/saving is incredibly smooth now and the game itself has a much more polished feel, even performance seems to have increased. I'm trying a witcher build with an emphasis on offensive signs, a bit rough compared to a melee centric build TBH but things are sure to improve once I get some gold talents.

This game seems awesome. When I start my new job and have enough money, I will buy without a doubt. Havn't played the original version.

Finished "The Price of Neutrality", reloaded and got all 3 possible endings. My advice for anyone thinking of playing this module, without spoiling anything I'd advise against leveling any of the signs at all (unless you you have excess bronze talents).

Now the other bonus module "Side effects" seems to be more to my liking.

I have both Witcher and the Enhanced Edition installed for many months and I haven't touched it. No time.

The Witcher looks like Diablo in 3d! I've heard nothing but good things about this game despite the glitches and problems. There aren't much great rpg games for pc anymore so I hope this'll turn out to be different.

I can't imagine any comment more insulting than that.
