Oh man, time flies, doesn’t it? So, guess what? The Witcher 3 has hit the big 1-0. Yeah, a decade! Feels like just yesterday we were all diving into that world for the first time. Anyway, if you’re like me, sorta lost in the nostalgia of old games these days, there’s some buzz around a new mod. It’s been making folks curious, especially with all this chatter about the Witcher Remake. I mean, who isn’t thinking of dusting it off for another round?
Here’s the kicker: the mod swaps out the usual Witcher 3 skill system for one from the older Witcher game. It’s like, why not mix it up? It’s a bit of a throwback, and… well, now I’m just rambling.
Okay, Gerwant30’s the brain behind this mod. They’ve been around the block, even snagged second place in some CD Projekt thing for another cool mod. This one? It merges the first Witcher’s skill vibe into TW3, giving us a whole bunch more control over Geralt. We’re talking 13 brand-new talent trees and over 200 skills. Imagine the depth! Or maybe it’s just me geeking out.
Oh, and there are these nifty bronze, silver, and gold talents involved. You start small, bronze and all, and work your way up. Strength, dexterity… the usual suspects. But wait, there’s more—each Witcher sign has its own thing going on with 18 skills per tree. Heck, even combat skills get a facelift! Four trees to tweak your strong and fast attacks. Just delightful chaos for build enthusiasts.
Heads up, though: this mod’s still in beta. So, don’t be surprised if some stuff feels a little half-baked. Also, it’s meant for a brand spanking new playthrough in the basic TW3. Your old saves aren’t going to mesh here. And to make the most out of it, you’ll need to pair it with SkylineR390’s ‘Alchemy’ mod. Plus, there’s PsychoCaki’s ‘SCAAR’ and TheMenxceX and ElementaryLewis’ ‘Immersive Camera for Next Gen’. It’s like a shopping list of mods!
Got a soft spot for the OG Witcher skill system, or does TW3 feel like home now? Let’s chat. Drop your thoughts below, if that’s still a thing folks do.
