Refound this thread ... did not mean for you to wait so long for a response.
First off, no, nothing political. It was just a big topic of discussion on "The Witcher" forums of the double standards of gaming. You can cut someone in half with a chainsaw but not show a nipple. I do know some Canadians voiced their ire that Canada also had the North American version since it was made to conform to US, not Canadian, laws. Of course, all it took was a few simple downloads and file changes to remove the censoring. No major dramas really.
Anyway, the censoring in the North American version of "The Witcher" was usually a case of adding clothing (i.e., the dryad) or adjusting some cloth or hair to cover across an exposed breast, nipple, or nether regions, etc..
Using my dryad example, in the North American version, the dryad had her greenish-brown hair covering her nipples and a loincloth covering her other bits. Without the censoring, the dryad is nude with exposed breasts and a green bush (no pun intended). Okay, maybe slightly intended.

This censoring carried over to the "Sex Cards" as well. Again a strategically placed bit of cloth or hair covering certain parts. Not all cards, however, were "censored" as I guess the original was tame enough.
This in turn carried over to Sex card cut scene. The "uncensored" or "censored" card being place over the background sex scene. The background scene may have been the same for both cards.
You can see the standard cards along with the censored ones here.
