The Witcher 3 having a bit of a modding renaissance at the moment, and the mod I’m about to tell you about might be one of the most impressive things to come out of it so far. What does it do? Well, let you swap Geralt out for a customisable witcher, witcheress, or sorceress without blowing a huge hole in your immersion boat.
As we’ve been reporting, TW3’s REDkit modding tool, which gives folks access to a lot of the same stuff the studio originally used to create the game itself, has been allowing modders to do a lot of cool new stuff recently, including resurrecting cut content and porting over areas from the series’ older entries.
However, contrary to what you might first assume, ‘Custom Player Characters‘ by modder Nikich340 sounds like it was in the works long befor CD Projekt lifted the game’s hood. “I spent 2.5+ years on making this mod, there were a bunch of tools which I used, including some which I had to write myself,” they write, “Redkit was helpful in fixing some animation bugs on last development stages.”
