These all increase the skill progression of their respective paths, granting you talent points for use ONLY in that path. Geralt's progression happens organically through gameplay by using his innate abilities, like performing fast and heavy attacks, blocking, countering, creating alchemical items, casting signs, etc. You can explore anywhere and take on anything at the beginning of the game with the potential to be successful in your endeavors instead of being completely barred from content. Not the equipment, not the quests, not the enemies and not even Geralt. As you'd expect from a mod this big, signs, inventory, and especially alchemy have been radically changed as well. Every item, enemy, everything out there in the world has a set level from the get-go. What makes Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition a really interesting mod, even if you were fine with the original combat system like I was, is that it completely removes the concept of leveling from the game. Let me take a crack at it: W3EE comes from a team of modders who couldn't stand the vanilla game's combat, and so they set out to fix it by removing autotargeting, adding new animations, new ways to parry attacks, the ability to control the distance of every swing, inflicting and taking injuries to body parts like the head and legs, and a whole slew of new stats that affect damage, speed, etc.Īnd that's just the combat stuff. Here's the pitch for The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition, from the mod page: "[Insert generic sales pitch here. And for anyone who was turned off by The Witcher 3's vanilla combat, this mod might be just what they need to enjoy one of the best games of all time.
The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition does not play like that.
But I was always disappointed with the limitations of The Witcher 3's skill upgrade system, and upgrading gear and the Quen sign made late-game battles less challenge, more race to see how fast I could decapitate every monster or thug in sight. Combat wasn't always easy, and it did have some depth - I had fun wading into crowds of enemies, dodging and rolling out of the way, and buffing up with potions before big fights. In the game I remember, Geralt whirled and twirled his way through combat, magnetising to the nearest enemy.
