Alright, let’s dive in. So, can you believe it? The Witcher 3 is already ten years old. Yep, a whole decade. We’ve all been drowning in nostalgia, revisiting old games. Anyway, if you’re itching to fire up The Witcher 3 again, there’s this mod that might just shake things up for your Witcher remake anticipation.
I mean, what better way to switch things up than to replace one Witcher skill system with another from an earlier game? It’s like seeing which Witcher is… umm, witchier? Eh, whatever, moving on.
Okay, so there’s this mod by Gerwant30. It’s like they took Witcher 1’s skill system and smushed it into Witcher 3. This person’s no newbie, seriously — they snagged second in one of those CD Projekt’s contests with a mod about exploring a slice of Cintra.
Now they’re doing something wild. Part of their ongoing “Tales of the Witcher” project, they’ve shoved their version of the OG Witcher’s skills into TW3. And get this, they promise “a lot more control” over Geralt’s leveling up — 13 new talent trees and over 200 new skills to mess around with.
You’ve got bronze, silver, gold talents to earn, climbing up these trees of strength and dexterity, slowly evolving into some master witcher — or, well, trying to. I watched the video, and honestly, it’s like leveling on steroids.
Each main tree has 17 skills, and those funny Witcher signs? Each got their own tree with 18 skills — super in-depth, apparently. Then there’s the combat skills for “strong” versus “fast” attacks. It’s like your character build is king here, not so much your gear.
It’s still a beta though, so don’t expect perfection — some stuff’s still in progress. Oh, and you gotta start a fresh new game, none of this taking your old save files for a spin. Also, if you’re diving in, you’ll need SkylineR390’s ‘Alchemy’ mod too — it’s like a package deal.
Dive deeper, and you’ll hear about recommended mods like PsychoCaki’s ‘SCAAR’. Camera mods, too — for that immersive feel.
What’s your take? Do you dig the classic Witcher game’s skill vibes, or does TW3’s setup feel natural now? Chat it out below!
