So I just read this book on history of games called “Blood, Sweat and Pixels” and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

    As for mods:

    The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project Arguably one of the best reworks ever.

    Realistic Weather

    Phoenix Lighting

    They just drive home the “cold wilderness” vibe.

    Then Better Combat Enhanced Because that’s one of the main critque points of this game.

    And some more

    And for DLC, i was especially impressed with “Blood and Wine” sidequests.

    About helping sane monsters

    There will be a point where your actions will be judged.

        I would say it’s entirely up to you. Though, experience with games like Gothic 3 (don’t even start without the Community Patch and a visual glitch fix dor trees and the sea) led me to mod first, personally. If you dig a bit deeper, there are LOD fixes (buildings from distance) for Whiterun, for example. Btw, the bumpmapping shader of reshade works especially nice for Witcher 3’ roads.
