Lore-friendly Witchers (Authentic Witchers)


More Blood + Critical Slow Motion Combat + Always Dismember

(More Blood + Time Slow on Critical Hits + Meat Grinder)

Three mods that clearly demonstrate why Geralt was nicknamed “The Butcher of Blaviken.”

First - MoreBlood, as the name suggests, significantly increases the amount of blood in battle. Not only is blood now gushing out of opponents in buckets, but Geralt is dynamically covered in it from head to toe. The color of the blood changes depending on the type of enemy: red for humans, black for Golems, green for Arachnids.

Critical Slow Motion Combat makes the fights look like the movie "300" by Zack Snyder. Now, if you score a critical hit on an enemy, time slows down, adding an even more cinematic feel to battles. Also Maybe install immediately with the previous mod.

Settings

After installing the mod, open the configuration file in any text editor located along the path: \Witcher3\mods\modKNGCritical_SlowMotion_Combat\content\scripts\local\KNGCSMCM.ws

Customize based on your preferences and save the file.

And after installing the mod AlwaysDismember, each killing blow will cut off an opponent's limb.

Sezon Burz Witcher's Gear (Gear from the Season of Storms)

Maud adds a new set of equipment to the game, based on Andrzej Sapkowski's novel "Season of Thunderstorms". Includes a full set of light armor, 2 types of gloves, silver and steel swords, several crossbows, as well as 2 saddles, spurs and bags for the Roach. You can buy equipment from the merchant Bran (the same one we save from the griffin at the beginning of the game). After the first meeting, he can be found near the Weeping Lady's Bridge in the White Garden.

IMPORTANT: if the automatic installation did not work, modification download page select item "MANUAL DOWNLOAD". Extract the contents of the archive to any convenient location. Folder seasonburz copy to \ Witcher3\ DLC\, and the folder modsezonburz- V \ Witcher3\ mods\ .

Lamp on Player’s boat

Small modification, designed to make the atmosphere of the game even more lamp-like. As the name suggests, the mod adds lights to boats, which can make the game easier if you're playing with mods that change the lighting (like the Darker Nights mod). Lanterns on boats work according to the principle of city lighting - they do not light up during the day and shine at night, but can be lit by Geralt manually.

Realistic Weather

Modification changes the weather system in the game making it more realistic. Foggy weather has been added to all regions of the game, rain and storms have been changed, and the Skellige Islands will now have more snow.

Installation

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project

Global modification, which improves the game's graphics. Reflections on bodies of water now work in real time. Most textures (stones, walls, wood, rocks, etc.) are presented in high quality, while maintaining the original style. Small items (anchors, fishing nets, bottles, scrolls, etc.), as well as animals, have been reworked. At the same time, due to excellent optimization, the modification practically does not reduce performance.

Installation

Super Turbo Lighting Mod + Atmospheric Nights

STLM changes the lighting in the game making it more similar to the version shown at E3 2014. Atmospheric Nights in turn changes the night lighting, making it darker and more realistic. The brightness of the lighting effects has been changed, the lighting changes depending on the region, the color of the fire is now more natural. For maximum effect, it is recommended to use both of these mods.

Modification, which opens all quests, tasks and merchants on the map. Available in three versions:

Updates for 2018! Gameplay and graphical innovations, as well as utilities to improve the game.

Witcher 3 is a great game that contains a subset of equally good mini-games. Gwent is a card game that Geralt plays throughout the story. In truth, it is not considered unusual here if a player chooses a Gwent party instead of a bloody battle. Now you can do both! This mod replaces all battles with parties in Gwent. You will earn the same experience and loot as in a real battle.

This mod seems to have left no stone unturned. Combat, obstacles, economics, alchemy, skills, weapons, armor and much more - everything has been changed in order to make the game more difficult. It's in beta testing, so if you're interested, you can help test it out.

Hunter’s Config is an excellent utility for adjusting game settings, including those that you do not have access to from the game menu. There's even a utility for reverting your previous configuration, and a button for installing or uninstalling SweetFX.

Torches are the unsung heroes of The Witcher 3, allowing Geralt to travel to the darkest corners of his world and are a great alternative to the Cat's elixir, which, although it allows you to see in the dark, also paints everything in gray tones. In the same fashion, the torch becomes the hero's faithful companion. Now Geralt can cast spells, ride a horse, climb rocks and block enemy attacks, while constantly holding a burning torch in his hands.

About 2 years have passed since the release of The Witcher 3, and during this time some modders abandoned their creations, which is why new fan additions and official patches often conflict with old mods. The Script Merger mod is designed to correct this situation. The principle of its operation is simple: the mod creates merged versions of similar text files, thus extending the life of mods that were outdated months ago. And don’t be scared by screenshots with confusing menus - understanding this mod will be much easier than it seems.

If you think that the world around you is too calm and kind, here is a mod that will help you cheer up. It will increase the chances of meeting a crowd of monsters, winged monsters or simple robbers. The mod contains settings, so rest assured, you can choose the balance of random encounters with opponents that suits you.

Utilities

Debug Console Enabler

Download

If you are not going to limit yourself to installing just one mod, the divine powers of the debug console will come in handy. This utility gives you access to this console, allowing you to enter commands to change settings, spawn enemies, fix bugs, and more.

Nexus Mod Manager

Download

All Witcher mods are tied to Nexus, and the Nexus Mod Manager utility is the best way to get rid of various bugs caused by incompatible mods. When installing new mods, be sure to pay attention to warnings about possible problems, which may include problems loading saves. With NMM, even mods that are fundamentally incompatible with each other can work perfectly if installed in the correct order.

If you install several mods at once, then follow our instructions: take your time, do everything carefully and be sure to pray.

Mod Merger

Download

Did you know that the game has a limit on mods? This was news to us. If you exceed the permissible limit, then Mod Merger can come to the rescue. The whole process will take about 15 minutes, during which all compatible mods will be merged into one package. Too many mods, you say? No, no, I’m installing just one (albeit indecently sized) mod.

But be careful. Combine only those mods that work without problems with each other, otherwise you will have to repeat everything over and over again.

Menu and travel

Mods that simplify travel and the interface, and finally shut up Buttercup.

Download

In Geralt's world, by default there are dozens of checkpoints for fast travel, but sometimes you have to cross several kilometers on a roach to get to the nearest one. If you are tired of such a routine, then this mod will allow you to teleport to any control point - something similar was in Skyrim. The main thing is not to abuse this opportunity, since too frequent teleportations lead to problems with several quests.

Download

Of course, it’s great that the map isn’t filled with a bunch of icons, like in some Ubisoft game, but at times you can regret it, especially if you can’t remember where the healer is. This mod adds all possible icons to the map - from nearby merchants to quest points, information about which is taken from your quest log. If you think this is too much, you can always hide unnecessary icons.

Download

The chest with your items can be found at several points on the map, but the creators of this mod asked themselves: “Why not add more chests?” After installing the mod, 8 new points with chests will appear in the game, and 2 standard ones will be moved to more convenient places. This is very convenient, especially if you have a mod for general realism installed, which takes into account the weight of the coins that Geralt keeps with him.

Download

One of the best things about The Witcher is that every major contract requires a lot of preparation in the beginning. We create anti-ghost oil, stock up on moon dust, meditate and, of course, sharpen a silver sword.

In this fashion, meditation becomes a more meaningful process. During meditation, you spend experience points to upgrade your skills, replenish your reserves of alchemical items and oils, and also repair necessary things. By default, this mod doesn't allow you to eat or drink during battle, so make sure you're fully prepared when facing some midday.

Friendly Meditation

Download

If you think that the Preparations Mod rather makes the game more difficult, then you should check out Friendly Meditation. In this mod, your potion supply is still replenished during meditation, but you don't have to look at the boring menu. On the contrary, the entire interface temporarily disappears, and you can only watch the clouds slowly floating across the sky, the shining stars and the sun rising from behind the mountains.

Sometimes a witcher just needs to be alone with himself, right? And don't forget to install the Unification patch for this mod.

Download

The Witcher 3's user interface is pretty clunky, but disabling some features will only make the game more difficult. This mod has several applications available from different downloads that solve interface problems. Hold down the button to meditate instead of visiting the menu, or hide the quest marker if you are not using the Witcher senses, plus some HUD elements that can be turned on and off by pressing any button instead of calling up the menu, and much more.

Lamp on Player's Boat

Download

Is this mod important? No. But it does add a light to your boat and it looks good. I have to admit, it’s quite an atmospheric detail.

Download

Some of us (let's not point fingers) would happily put the overly talkative Buttercup into an industrial meat grinder. But, since nothing like this has yet been invented in the Northern Kingdoms, we can only be content with this mod, which disables the video from Buttercup’s diary.

Download

Oh my God, finally. Jumping aground.

Mods that change the combat system

Make fights harder, easier, or, more importantly, more entertaining.

Critical Slow Motion Combat Mod

Download

If you thought the combat in The Witcher 3 lacked a cinematic feel, then you should definitely install this mod. It slows down time at the moments when Geralt delivers critical blows, allowing you to see in every detail how the hero gracefully removes the head from the shoulders of another bandit. Is this not enough? Then the More Blood mod from modder KNGR is at your service, increasing the amount of blood in the game.

Download

One of the best RPG elements in The Witcher 3 is undoubtedly the selection of oils applied to the blade before battle. But even the biggest fans of the genre admit that over time, searching for the desired substance in Geralt’s inventory and using it becomes too monotonous. And the Auto Apply Oils mod can fix this. As soon as an enemy appears in front of you, to kill whom you need to use a specific type of oil, it will automatically be applied to the blade, and therefore you can immediately begin the battle without any preparation.

AutoLoot

Download

Tired of digging through the inventory of defeated opponents after each battle? This mod will allow you to automatically collect everything that can be found in the area - both after a fight with monsters in the swamps, and in numerous lockers in the houses of Oxenfurt. But the main feature of the Auto Loot mod is that Geralt cannot automatically pick up valuable items, which can cause problems. It’s also convenient that the mod allows you to choose in advance which game items you need to pick up and which ones not to touch.

FCR3

Download

Looking for mods officially approved by the game's creators? How about FCR3, developed by the lead gameplay designer at CD Projekt Red. This includes many improvements, nerfs and buffs to make the fantasy world more dangerous and balanced. If you need a mod that makes non-obvious but significant changes, then this is your option. There are no graphic additions here, so the screenshot shows a regular photo of Geralt. Simple and modest.

Enemies of Rivia

Download

This mod changes the combat system and enemy behavior so much that it should be placed in the section of mods that completely change the game itself. The enemies here are smarter, faster and don't hesitate to block attacks. Therefore, during each fight they behave quite unexpectedly - repetition of the same techniques remains a thing of the past. If you are a student of the Bear School and are looking for a worthy challenge, then you will get it.

E3DodgeSystem

Download

Longtime fans of the Witcher series will remember the game's golden era. Then the wine was sweeter, the swords were sharper, and the ghouls were stupider. They call this era E3 2014. There are several E3 2014 mods that bring Witcher 3 closer to the demo version that is still alive in players' memories.

We're not overusing nostalgia, of course, but the E3 dodge system was great. Geralt had not yet learned acrobatic tricks, stood firmly on the ground with both feet and aimed his sword straight in front of him. This mod is suitable for anyone who wants to return this system to the game, getting rid of all the Cirque du Soleil style show off.

Additionally, if you have a spare second during the fight, Geralt will stretch his arms and swing his sword impressively. Looks very menacing!

Equipment and trade

Mods designed to lighten your load, change the balance of your loot, and give your gear a chic look.

Over 9000 – Weight limit mod

Download

Geralt already carries a lot of things in his bag, not counting the two heavy swords on his back, but if you are one of those who simply cannot pass by the new sword from the witch hunter's collection, then you need this mod. So what will the final weight limit be? Yes, you guessed it. More than 9000. From now on, you won’t have to worry about captured weapons, which can be useful in very rare cases, taking up too much space in your inventory. Just take it with you and don’t bother yourself with such trifles.

Download

The game could be called Wild Hunt, but hunting creatures and monsters is not the best way to make a living. If you're tired of killing a bunch of deer and only getting a little meat, then this mod increases the chance that the animals will leave behind a supply of meat or some ingredients.

Download

It's a bit of a shame when you bring a lot of unnecessary junk into town to sell, and the local merchants are so poor that they can't afford to buy it all at once. This mod makes merchants more prosperous, making them willing to pay more for each item. Unfortunately, the patch conflicts with version 1.31, but you have two options: install an unofficial patch or an unofficial version of the mod by another creator.

Download

In the game, we travel either to find work or to have fun - combining both is quite difficult, isn’t it? If your Geralt doesn't mind playing Gwent from time to time, but doesn't want to jump around looking for new cards, The Gwent Dealer mod will save him a lot of effort. This mod turns Quartermaster Baron into a real card collector. Now you can buy from him not only ordinary things, but also almost any card.

Download

As with Gwent Dealer, this mod transforms a humble tavern owner into one of the most prominent merchants in the game. Now the owner of the Dandelion tavern sells almost all potions, oils, bombs, runes, mutagens and arrows. Balance imbalance? Maybe. But it's damn convenient.

Download

Ugly equipment. It's sad, but it can happen to even the best witchers, no matter how hard they try to look stylish. If the new sword you've been poring over for several hours has a not-so-pretty scabbard that doesn't fit into your color scheme, then just download Black Scabbards to solve the problem. We think black is perfect for everything, including the sheath.

Download

On the one hand, this is a minor cosmetic change that does not affect gameplay in any way. On the other hand, this is perhaps the best of all mods created. If in single-player RPGs you are most concerned about the appearance of the hero, then you should not pass by this mod. Geralt looks incredibly cool in his new robe. Moreover, there are keys to raise or lower the hood. But it depends on your mood.

Download

There are quite a few mods that change equipment, but our favorite is Sezon Burz. Based on the book Season of Thunder by Andrzej Sapkowski, this set of equipment fits perfectly into the Witcher universe and looks surprisingly fresh at the same time. Moreover, new things are distributed across levels, so you can upgrade your hero and switch to a new set of equipment.

Download

Depending on your playstyle, some elements of the Witcher's daily routine can become unbearable - especially after a couple of hundred hours in the game. If you are tired of spending money and time on repairing equipment, then the Indestructible Items mod will come in handy, thanks to which weapons no longer wear out. An extremely useful little thing.

Graphics and game camera changes

Photo mode, redesigned textures, interface changes and much more.

Absolute Camera

Download

Are you unhappy with the way the camera behaves while you're running, fighting, riding a horse, or swimming? Absolute Camera not only changes the distance and viewing angle, but also provides dozens of fully customizable options for camera placement during Geralt's various activities. In the video above you can see how flexible the camera setup becomes.

Download

If you want to diversify the weather conditions in Novigrad and its surroundings, then this recently released mod will help you. It greatly improves fog and rain animations, and also adds a lot more snow falling on the Skellige Islands. At the same time, you can always disable certain innovations using the console commands indicated on the page with the description of the mod.

Download

Want to take some unforgettable shots of Geralt in action? This mod will allow you to stop time, then move the camera in three dimensions to take beautiful pictures. There is also a switch that allows you to make Geralt invisible (useful if you are taking pictures of the environment and nature), and an option that allows you to add fog or a slight mist to give the pictures even more atmosphere.

HD Reworked

Download

If you are in pursuit of more beautiful, clear, detailed models and textures, please your eyes with this mod. Rocks, trees, roofs, floors - everything was rebuilt, resolution and brightness were improved, and, apparently, this is just the beginning.

Download

Are you eager to see the game in a brighter and richer light? The mod removes the bluish tint of the image in the game, and adds a slight adjustment to the lighting in order to give the game a truly fabulous look.

Download

The Northern Kingdoms, especially Velen and Novigrad, are quite dirty places, full of clay and dust, making it nearly impossible to take decent screenshots in these areas. But now you can wipe down your gaming camera like a professional photographer. The No Dirty Lenses mod removes drops of water and dirt from the screen, but when diving or during rain, these drops reappear.

More Blood

Download

The Witcher 3 is good. Even magnificent. But what if the game was more like Tarantino's films? The More Blood mod adds literally liters of blood to the game. Now Geralt constantly gets dirty during battles, his swords are always stained with fresh blood, and it naturally pours out of the demons in buckets. Are you ready for bloody adventures?

Download

If you have a powerful video card, then why not make the most of its capabilities by increasing the rendering distance? The open world in The Witcher has an impressive scale, but it looks many times more impressive when rendered several kilometers ahead. The mod has many settings where you can set a specific drawing distance. But be careful - game performance may drop if you set all settings to maximum and send it to Novigrad (but this depends on the capabilities of your PC).

Download

The mod falls into the same category of “not everyone can handle it.” More Shadows adds dynamic shadows to all light sources in the game. Torches on walls will now cast shadows directly below them, and huge braziers in cities will create all sorts of shadows on cobbled streets. Guards walking around with torches will also get dynamic shadows. And if you have problems with the display, then there is an alternative version of the mod that removes some shadows.

Vampires Have No Shadows

Download

It's almost like More Shadows, but with some differences. With serious differences, to be honest. NPC vampires, as befits these creatures, no longer cast shadows, even if walking directly under the sun! Creepy, but effective.

Mods that completely change the game

These mods make large-scale changes to the combat, alchemical and other systems of The Witcher 3.

Download

Are you missing a variety of weapons and armor? This mod makes other characters' equipment available, such as Imleric's Great Mace and several others. Geralt can get it through merchants or make it himself. New blueprints in stores will allow you to get even more weapons, and don’t forget about upgrading relics.

The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition

Download

Just recently we wrote about this mod: it is a complete rethinking of The Witcher's combat system. The main innovation is the removal of auto-aim. Now Geralt no longer jumps from one enemy to another like a pinball, but only hits where you direct him. This means that you can prepare a strike and suddenly go behind the enemy's back or break through his shield.

This is a major change, but it's not the only one in TW3EE. New animations, new ways of parrying, as well as new types of preparing strikes at a distance have also been added here. Each attack can affect your hero - there is a chance that Geralt will emerge from the next brawl with a broken arm or leg. These effects directly affect the leveling, alchemy system and equipment of the hero.

If you've already played through New Game+ a few times and seen everything The Witcher 3 has to offer, then this enhanced version is the perfect excuse to pick up the game again. It is recommended to install the mod on a “clean” version of the game, after which you can safely install additional modifications.

Download

Ghost Mode is no less ambitious than the Enhanced Edition, but the changes are more subtle. He does not abandon the fundamentals of the original, but only polishes all the little things that required edits. For example, expensive plates can no longer be found on the poor man's shelves, all ingredients have weight (but you need fewer ingredients for alchemy), and simple equipment has become more powerful and useful. Typos in item descriptions have also been corrected, enemies have received new armor bonuses and stamina limits, etc.

If you think The Witcher 3 needs a complete systems overhaul, then the Enhanced Edition is waiting for you. If you think that the game just needs to be polished and balanced (which is what modders have been doing for two years), then feel free to install Ghost Mode.

And, of course, install the mod on the “clean” version of the game, and only after that add other mods to your taste.
