I just beat the game. It was so good. Just curious though - I know about the changelog of animations and stuff like that, but which actual quests are new with the Enhanced Edition?
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Game » consists of 16 releases. Released May 17, 2011
The sequel to 2007's critically acclaimed role-playing game, The Witcher. Players again take control of Geralt of Rivia in this story-focused adventure.
So which game content is new?
ALL the dlc is added. Stuff like troll trouble is new. The epilogue I think is new. The dark items are also new.
I want to say the quests involving those two counts were new. I think some others ones were as well but I'm unsure.
Weirdly enough I only just beat it myself. I believe there is a quest I did involving Cynthia that I completed which isn't in the original, The Secrets of Loc Muinne I think.
Yes that is new.Weirdly enough I only just beat it myself. I believe there is a quest I did involving Cynthia that I completed which isn't in the original, The Secrets of Loc Muinne I think.
This video shows some of the new quests added in the EE edition.

At least the following (side) quests:
For Roche's path: "Lilies and Vipers" with the subquests
- "Crown Witness"
- "Pacta Sunt Servanta" (sic)
- "The Messenger"
For Iorveth's path: "The Secrets of Loc Muinne"
Both during Act III, in Loc Muinne.
Wile we are on the subject. How do you get the pest control Achivement? Does it need two play thoughs?
@The_Laughing_Man: You can get it in one playthrough (I got it on my first playthrough, was on Roche's path). You need to beat all the "contract" quests to get it. Doing some research, that would be the Nekker, Endrega, Rotfiend, and Gargoyle contracts on Roche's path, and Iorveth's path involves the Nekker, Endrega, Harpy, Harpy Queen, and Gargoyle contracts.
You cant finish the harpy contract with Roche from what I heard.@The_Laughing_Man: You can get it in one playthrough (I got it on my first playthrough, was on Roche's path).

I just finished my first play through and I went with Roche. I got that achievement as soon as I finished the gargoyle contract. As mentioned, the others I did were the nekker, endrega, and rotfiend.
@The_Laughing_Man: I should have worded it better, but you just need to complete all contract quests on the path you take. So to get the achievement on Roche's path, you never need to do the harpy or harpy queen quest (not like you could do it anyways, but I could be wrong, it has been a year since I played the game).
Thats what confused me. Thanks. I skipped the gargoyal on the elf path cause I didnt wanna deal with the guards chasing me.@The_Laughing_Man: I should of worded it better, but you just need to complete all contract quests on the path you take. S

Wow, the Epilogue is new? How was that NOT in the original game? It explains SO MUCH of really central plot points...
@d0rks: Cool, thanks. It's funny because "Secrets of Loc Muinne" was actually my favorite quest in the game, from Iorveth's path at least. :) Good to know that there are 3 more quests for my Roche playthrough, which I am starting right now!
epilogue isn't new, there are new ending cutscenes though which wasn't in the original release.@The_Laughing_Man said:
