As a new player, are there any mods that would improve my first run? Or would it be better to just play it the way it was intended?

Hmm, it depends if you want the PURE WITCHER 3 experience but some quality of life mods I had and still made Witcher 3 the best game I've ever played. Mind you I don't have exact links but all of these are on the Nexus.: - Auto Apply Oils - Better Trophies (just makes trophies a little better, giving a better buff, I don't even recall what base trophies do now) - Better Icons (makes it so oil icons and poo poo have their names on it) - HDReworked - Map Quest Objective (shows you all of you current Main Quest, Secondary Quest, Treasure Hunts and Witcher Contract objectives from your quest log on your map so you can knock out quests that are close-by) - Big Titty Breasted HD Naked Ciri - Geralt Hairworks (everything Nvidia Hairworks??) - Increased LOD - No Witcher Sense (get the one that makes it so Witcher Sense doesn't do the "zoom in" thing, makes it much more friendly to use) - No Dirty Lens/No Glare Effect - "Nitpickers patch" or whatever it's called. This one could be considered cheating (due to horse races), but honestly it was mostly due to the fact I wanted to use Roach over fast travelling: - Infinite Roach Stamina

There's a bunch of cool looking mods on the nexus: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/topalltime/ the texture and lighting ones should be nice if you've got a beefy PC I played on PS4, but if I had played (or later do play) on PC these are the mods I'd go for: Remove Weapon and Armor Level Restrictions Better Trophies Better Icons All Quest Objectives On Map Always Full Exp AutoLoot - AutoLoot the items you want

Mind you I don't have exact links but all of these are on the Nexus.:  Most of these are good, excluding the obvious. I'd say skip the Witcher sense thing and get Friendly UI instead. The Hairworks mod actually disables it for Geralt but no one else because some people lose their poo poo because his hair is blowing in the wind indoors sometimes. I'd also skip the all map objectives thing since it literally removes all exploration and discovery from the game and literally is the worst thing you could install on a first play through. I also grabbed the more accurate Witcher mod but only installed the shiny eyes because the dude hosed up the skin textures and they don't apply rain shaders properly and he removed a bunch of scars for some dumb reason. Edit: And don't install remove level restrictions what the gently caress you people have terrible advice for a first playthrough. Being able to use a 400 damage sword at level 10 literally breaks the game, and yes there are a few that don't scale and are always crazy strong.

I installed a mod called "AMM" (I forget the full name) that lets you set Geralt's armour/weapons appearance (while having the stats of whatever you're wearing) to be able to play dress-up with my favourite Witcher in my next playthrough.. 😍

Fuzz posted:I'd also skip the all map objectives thing since it literally removes all exploration and discovery from the game and literally is the worst thing you could install on a first play through. Anyways, here's my mod list: Mod merger: just there to make sure all the mods play well with each other. Fast travel from anywhere: saves on quite a bit of annoying backtracking when exploring. Can mess up quests (when you're supposed to follow someone / when someone is supposed to talk to you the moment you exit a building) so use with care. Map quest objectives: Shows you all current quest objectives on the map, instead of just the quest currently highlighted. Immensely useful, particularly when it comes to scavenger hunts. Auto-apply oils: saves you a lot of hassle, since applying oils through the inventory system is just a time-wasting bother. Stops you from getting the Even Odds achievement. Better torches: Climb, cast and fight without putting your torch away. Cheap dyes everywhere: now you can be a shiny Witcher princess before the endgame starts. The mods above are basically just a matter of convenience. The mods below actively change how the game plays, so fair warning if you want a "purist" experience: General perks always active: exactly what it says. Makes the general perks a lot more viable, since there are a lot of reasons not to use them in an umodded game. Select all mutations: allows you to use more than one mutation at a time in B&W. Kinda gamebreaking, but IMO the mutations are hard enough to get that being forced to only use one is a bit lame. Indestructible items - no more weapon / armor degradation. Buyable Doppler and Succubus Mutagens: Satisfy your completionist urges AND your moral concerns at the same time.

There's also one that lets the herbalist in Novigrad sell succubus and doppler mutagens in case you're both a completionist and a decent human being.

Play without mods on your first run. This isn't a Bethesda game in need of overhauling out of the box. Just make sure you switch off Triss' alt outfit in the extras menu.

I like the all quest objectives mod, because they are color coded by difficulty. When I want to do a quest, I can just pan around the map until I see a green one instead of scrolling through a bunch of poo poo 20 levels above me. Look at the mods available, telling people not to use them on the first run is bad advice.

I don't know that I'd recommend a big gameplay overhaul or whatever, but there are a bunch of mods available that smooth out the annoying bits and there's no real reason not to install them. E: I mean Fallout New Vegas is my favourite game ever but there's still a bunch of mods I'd recommend for first time players. 2house2fly fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Dec 29, 2016 |

Triss's basic outfit is for butt people, the alt outfit is for boob people.  Disharmonica has a 🔥alt Triss cosplay, so I'm glad the DLC exists.

That's one other mod I use, that uses her DLC outfit for the fancy dress party and otherwise keeps her normal outfit. Because, yeah, it's appropriate for a fancy dress party, but HORRIBLY inappropriate for any other point in her storyline.

It really doesn't make much sense considering that Triss pointedly never wore anything with a v-neck in any of books and alludes to pretty much her whole front being scar tissue from when she got killed at Sodden Hill.

I thought her Witcher 2 outfit was way better than her, similar, Witcher 3 outfit. I haven't played Witcher 2 in a few years, though. But that's what I remember when I first saw her in Witcher 3.

It's Lore that sorceresses can customise their appearance however they want, which is why they all look like sexy bimbos. I don't really get why Philippa has to make do without her eyes to be honest.

I don't really get why Philippa has to make do without her eyes to be honest. Because they were physically gouged out. Sorceresses can't change their physical appearance willy nilly, they have to go through a painful transformation that can be fatal but they all do it because most them are deformed from birth. Yennefer had a hunchback and Triss had a club foot. It's presumed that neither was particularly well endowed or beautiful, either, but when you're gonna rebuild a car you generally don't intentionally leave the hood and driver's side door unpainted if you can avoid it.

I don't really get why Philippa has to make do without her eyes to be honest. As for Philippa, she only has to make do until she meets up with the rest of the lodge. I think the recordings in her hideout mention regenerating your own eyes is a lot harder than doing it for someone else. Also I think male mages generally think looking older makes them seem dignified or something.

yeh, it's psychological. ^Triss posted:They used the highest magics on us,' she continued in a muted voice, 'spells, elixirs, amulets and artifacts. Nothing was left wanting for the wounded heroes of the Hill. We were cured, patched up, our former appearances returned to us, our hair and sight restored. You can hardly see the marks. But I will never wear a plunging neckline again, Geralt. Never. The last wish scene about appearances: Triss posted:Geralt glanced keenly at the elf. For a second time, he thought he saw traces of a blush on his face. It surprised him no less than Chireadan's words. Pure-blooded elves were not want to admire human women, even the very beautiful ones, and Yennefer, although attractive in her own way, couldn't pass as a great beauty. There's another scene that talks about why guys choose their ages. Most of them go old, but some prefer to look a bit younger. Like Vilgefortz, who I think looked like he was in his thirties or something. He's always mentioned as looking really young compared to the other sorcerors. Francesca Findabair isn't modified at all by magic, because she was smoking hot to begin with, and the elves don't look down on mages like the humans do, so there's no reason for a powerful female elf to not learn magic. I also kind of remember Fringilla Vigo not being modified either, because she's a noble from Toussaint where people apparently don't look down on mages either, and also Nilfgaard, where changing appearances isn't something that sorceresses do, its culturally motivated.

Still chipping away at my first play through. (I think this near the end of the primary storyline, but I might still have 10 hours plus, who knows with this game) Am I crazy or does Ciri reference Cyberpunk 2077 when she talks about going to a time when people drove in flying cars and Geralt says she's full of poo poo. Also, this game is very good so far.
