Finally got around to picking up Witcher 3. Very hesitant due to how much I disliked Witcher 2, but it seems the formula's been reworked and everyone seems to love it.
Anyone got any mod suggestions before I get started?
Some must have mods I would say are
Absolute Camera(freedom to set the way you want how the camera behaves during battle and out of battle),
Skip Movies(skips the usual annoying movies at the game's startup),
Friendly HUD(can help clean up the HUD if preferable to just take in this beautiful game),
Better Torches(makes traversing the nights easier),
All Quest Objectives On Map(makes it easier to plan out your routes in finishing quests) and finally the
HD Reworked Project(improves models and textures, may have a very slight performance hit).
Some other stuff that aren't necessarily needed but optional are
Auto Apply Oils(applying oils can be pretty tedious throughout the game),
BLOOD(more blood),
Ultra Gore 2(more dismemberment if that is to your liking),
High Quality Faces(improved look for faces),
Nitpicker's Patch(some improvements on stuff like swords and clothes clipping on each other and the surroundings).
One last thing that I could think of is the
No Fall Damage mod, cause one thing about this game is that Geralt's knees are made out of glass and he dies from falls in really low heights. I must've died more to falls than through combat even though I played on the hardest difficulty(though to be honest the game gets a bit easy after a good amount of level ups). This mod might not be needed for some so I would really only get it if you finally get annoyed by it.
All of them should be on Nexusmods, though I haven't actually played the game in a year so I'm not quite sure if there are some new cool stuff out or things got removed. What's great about most of these mods though is that they are accessible in game, in the settings. So you can turn them on or off without having to quit the game and restarting.
Hope you enjoy the game! I know I did even when I was skeptical starting it since I also didn't very much like the first two games. Just wish the combat was more varied and the game harder.
