So anyway, what are the must have mods for W1?

I feel it needed better foliage, I want advanced physics in my foliage with independent shadows for each part. W3 was very disappointing to a foliage connoisseur such as myself.

>put 160 hours into W3 not even close to finishing it
>pc breaks down

One day I will finish this masterpiece.

It's a garbage game. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Combat simpler than batman, boring and easy. Writing is terribly overrated and I implore anyone who actually enjoys this dreck to read a book. Unimpressive soundtrack. Quest markers and fast travel. Press x for batman vision and follow the scent to find the objective. Role playing mechanics are shallow and linear. I imagine what people like about the game is the scenery and open world, which may seem novel at first. Feel free to call my opinion bait and argue about your favourite Waifu™.

>>386542018
Your opinion isn't bait, but it's shit.

>>386541880
Shani is only one who treats you like a friend and a human in general instead of using you as a politicial pawn. Romanced her in TW1 and was pissed when Geralt ended up with Triss in TW2 regardless of your actions

>>386540694
I still need to go back and finish Blood and Wine, but theres still so much more I haven't done. Great game.

>>386540694

It's garbage, absolute fucking garbage
It's not an RPG and caters to normalfags in every way possible.

TW3 is a game that came just in time. Right when I was beginning to think I was growing out of video games, it came and made me realize that I still loved them.

>>386542212
>treat you like a human
Geralt isn't human and doesn't want to be treated as such
>Shani will completely leave Geralt if he doesn't "Settle Down™' with her
>Yen will suck him dry practically against his will (as does Triss, but literally against his will)
>Shani will literally be lucky to live past 40 in her profession
>Shani was never much more to Geralt than a piece of meat (see Blood of Elves)

You're just wrong

It's a toss up between Keira & Yennefer, with the latter winning for most sensible people

>>386542780

Why did you have to bring up the books? We're talking about the games here. In the books Yen has no real competition

Because Yennefer is canonically the only one

>>386543101
>sppiler
You're not wrong, and the bants between those 2 is really well done

I just wish we got to see more of Shani, but she was a big part of the best section in the game, so I'm not complaining

>>386542964
The games are based on the books pal.

While it takes some liberties, and gives you the freedom to fuck up Geralt's character & narrative at will, it can't escape the foundations lay by Sapkowski, one of with being Geralt & Yen were made for one another

>see very opening scene of game
>see final cutscene/flashforward if you chose her
>see conversation with Ciri if you choose Yen saying it was THE thing to do
>see conversation with Ciri if you DON'T chose Yen saying it's alright and Geralt seems broken
>the only reason Triss is presented as a viable choice for Geralt is because she's someone's waifu at CDPR
>Yen is literally Ciri's mother

>While it takes some liberties
YMMV but these liberties can take game Geralt pretty far away from his book counterpart. For this reason I prefer to view game-verse as linked to book-verse but not exactly the same.

Are there any graphics mods which actually improve on the original graphics? Sometime this year or next year I'm going to play through again, this time trying out Gwent, and this time I'll do the expansions too

When I played W3 the 2nd time and decided to Romance Triss I felt pretty much that way. That I was raping myself with her body, it felt so off.

>>386542898
She's in her early 20s in W3, Geralt fucked her for the first time when she was 17, and she canonically dies in 1340, 68 years after W3

I think you're underestimating just how long its been between the early books and the games

She's also went from student in BoE to opening her own clinic and being the head of the medical department at the university of Oxenfurt in W3 so it's been like 15 years
Wouldn't be unusual for her to live to nearly 100 teaching in Oxenfurt

Thing is, she doesn't appear in the early books, her first appearance is in Blood of Elves, which take place in 1267. Witcher 3 takes place in 1272, and Blood and Wine in 1275

If she was 17 in 1267, she died at age 90

I just started playing Witcher 1 and got some mods.

Rise of the white wolf:
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/669/?
It's a must have. Completely changes the terrible green/orange HUD and adds a nice skybox.

Complete sword overhaul:
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/719/?
Changes all swords to use witcher 3 graphics. Look much nicer than the default ones.

Witcher Overhaul Project:
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/703/?
Adds nice HD textures to most surfaces.

FPS counter mod
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/738/?
Adds ambient occlusion and reshade settings. The default game has a way too blue colors.

No low res textures
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/649/?
Simply forces the game to use highest quality textures for all surfaces.

High res character models:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/witchercharactermodels

By the way. DO NOT get the Full Combat Rebalance mod. It completely fucks you up and makes it almost impossible to advance after a certain point. I had to re install my whole game to get rid of it.

>>386552571
still better than alchemy

>>386552571
Wrong, I spam my icey queefs

>>386552698
Not that anon, but Alchemy is a fun build. Especially when you get the ability to throw multiple bombs. Sure it's OP but the other two skill trees are OP as well once you get to the higher tier skills. I will say running a pure Sign build made the game a cakewalk.

I have no idea your age, but I'm 22 and think this is the only game that's really targeted at any player over 18.

Plus, souls & bloodborne is for 35yo virgins so I can't play those.

>>386553872
Eh, I did absolutely everything except Blood&Wine and the main HoS story (did all the side HoS stuff) and I'm currently at 120 hours, currently doing the HoS auction house heist. 3-4 hours of that was probably spent doing random contracts from a mod too.
