Line 3:
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: Not only is the game DRM-free, but all the DLC (bar expansions and the like) will be free.
* [[Complete Monster]]: ''That sword is for monsters'' indeed. {{spoiler|And just about everyone else in Salamandra.}}
** [[Humans Are
** In the swamp region there is a minor character known only as {{spoiler|"Gramps"}} who is a [[Serial Killer]] and [[I Am a Humanitarian|cannibal]] who preys on the swamp folk. He seems harmless at first and gives Geralt a fair amount of information and offers him a few useful items. It's not until you visit his house that you discover his secret, at which point you can choose to fight him or let him go.
* [[Continuity Porn]]: More often and gratuitous than the standard porn, with many references to the novels thrown in for no other reason than to please the fans.
Line 9:
*** Questionable on that last point.
*** [[Word of God]] doesn't say that the games are not canonical. They are ''[[Alternate Universe]]'', which is a different thing. Also, Sapkowski had some input into the games, as the writers consulted with him about plot and characters.
* [[Game Breaker]]: The Igni
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Drowners.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: The main choice of the game becomes harder (or easier) if you've read 'The Lesser Evil' in ''The Last Wish''.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Leo Bonhard crosses his almost immediately after his first appearance in ''[[

* [[Woolseyism]]: The re-released Enhanced Edition of the game. The original version of the dialogue scripts was cut down by 20% through [[Executive Meddling]] just to save money on voice acting for a rather risky project due to how niche it was deemed to be. The end result, while workable, sounded pretty awkward. The Enhanced Edition, which came later as both a retail re-release and a free-to-download patch, features a mostly re-recorded script with no cuts applied to the source material to make it sound more natural and make the English version of the game just as complete dialogue-wise as the Polish original was. Here's example of the changes made:
** Original:

'''Dwarf:''' Humans have always hated dwarves and elves.
'''Geralt:''' I don't understand.
'''Dwarf:''' Then go see that bastard Brogg. I won't discuss it with strangers.
'''Geralt:''' Understandable. }}
** Enhanced:
{{quote|
'''Dwarf:''' Why do pricks go in cunts? It's the natural order of things. Humans have always hated dwarves and elves. Not for me to know why.
'''Geralt:''' I'm not sure I understand.
'''Dwarf:''' Then ponder it on your own. Or discuss it with that maggot Brogg. I don't talk to strangers about these things.
'''Geralt:''' Fine. }}
