Neb, I'd love to take that key off of your hands! I played the first game and liked it, I just haven't really had the budget for the sequel lately. Thanks either way!

It's on its way. :)

WOW! It's even the Enhanced Ed.! Thanks a TON, Neb! I just finished SOF2, and was looking for something to play this weekend. Problem solved.

If anyone is going to play Witcher series, I highly encourage them to read the books. At the very least read "The Last Wish" collection of short stories.
They really help you understand what witchers are all about. Geralt is not an anti-hero, he is a true hero, but alas he is one of the last remaining witchers, and witchers are tragic figures. The short stories really help you appreciate the sacrifices they make and the thankless aspect of their jobs. Through a gruelling trial process, witchers are painfully turned into hunters from childhood so they can protect people from monsters, yet people still treat them like the very thing they are protected from.
I'm replaying the game after reading the stories, and it definitely put everything into a whole different persective.

Thanks, Poetic Thief, I will now. I was just gifted Witcher 2 (thanks again, Neb) so I figured I'd replay the 1st game and go into W2 shortly thereafter. I'll check out those short stories. Is it on Amazon, you suppose, or is it something you have to read online? Thanks.

The internal chronology is:
The Road of No Return (short story prequel with Geralt's mother, published in the collection Something ends, Something begins - the eponymous story itself is a non-canon joke Witcher story)
The Last Wish (short story collection, published in english)
Sword of Destiny (short story collection)
Blood of Elves (published in english)
Times of Contempt (supposed to be published in english this year)
Baptism of Fire
The Tower of Swallows
The Lady of the Lake
the games follow from here.
