Top 5 Witcher 3 mods

The Witcher 3 has started getting a lot of attention due to the success of the Netflix series based on the books. Many of the original players are returning, including those who have played the game before but did not complete it. Many new people are picking up the game because of the curiosity the game and Henry Cavill’s interviews have generated. Due to this, the game has become a top seller and I believe it deserved such a resurgence because it is one of the best video games ever made. But there are ways to make it even better. The almighty mods. 

Thanks to the developers made the game moddable, The Witcher 3 has a thriving modding community. There are hundreds of mods available for the game, but to make it easier for our readers, we have picked the top 5 Witcher 3 mods for you (All of these mods can be found on Nexus Mods. Check our article on how to install  The Witcher 3 Mod.

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project 

The Witcher 3 is a breathtaking game. Playing the game without taking screenshots is a crime. That being said, the game was released in 2015 and in accordance with Moore’s Law, the hardware today is much more powerful. Which means this game if released today, would be even more beautiful. This is what this mod does. 

The people behind this project have made the game more beautiful and have reworked over 1000 textures, making the game more detailed and realistic. But install this mod only if you have a powerful rig since it works best at 4k Ultra settings. 

Photo Mode 

As I said earlier, playing The Witcher 3 without taking screenshots is a crime. It’s a shame that CD Projekt RED did not add a photo mode to the game. This mod does exactly that. With this mod, you can freeze the game at any instant and then fly your camera around so that you can take the perfect shot of Geralt dismembering a Gravier. 

The Witcher 3: Enhanced Edition 

Many people (not me) found the game’s combat system a bit sluggish and weren’t impressed by it. Though it does have some depth, there is something missing. The creator of this mod thought so too. And boy did he think.  The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition completely revamps the combat system of the game. The auto targeting is removed and controls for the attack range are added. This makes the combat more active and deliberate and opens up a lot of strategies for the players. New animations, new ways to parry and location based injuries are also added, which gives adds a completely different dimension in the combat mechanics. If you have already played the game, you should definitely give this mod a try in your new playthrough. 

Henry Cavill Mod 

You already knew this was coming. This mod adds Henry Cavill’s face to Geralt, which still looks better than the shaved CGI Cavill in Justice League. 

Toss A Coin To Your Witcher 3

How could the Henry Cavill mod be complete without the ballad that has become more famous than Netflix’s The Witcher? This mod adds the song in your menu and is also played by the street musicians in-game, in six different languages.
