Celebrate the Witcher 3’s 10th Anniversary with a New Mod That Revamps the Skill System for a Classic RPG Experience

You know that feeling when you’re dusting off an old favorite, like some ancient relic from the past? Well, guess what? The Witcher 3 just hit the big 1-0. Seriously, ten whole years. And here we are again, knee-deep in nostalgia, fiddling with games we probably already beat a million times. But hey, if this anniversary chatter has you itching for another round, there’s this new mod that’s kinda shaking things up a bit.

So apparently, there’s a way to, like, mix up your Witcher experience by swapping skill systems. Yeah, ditch the old, bring in the… older? It’s from the original Witcher game. No clue why you’d wanna do that. Maybe it’s just the novelty. Or the chaos. Who knows.

Anyway—no, hold up—where was I? Oh right, this mod’s by someone named Gerwant30. Dude’s not new to this; he snagged second place in some modding contest a while back. Not gonna lie, exploring a bit of Cintra sounded kinda rad.

Now they’ve gone and dumped the first Witcher’s skill system into TW3, giving us a playground with these talent trees and a gazillion new skills. Well, maybe not a gazillion, but like, over 200. Nuts, right? And it’s all about layering, progression, all that jazz. You know, if that’s your kinda thing.

From what I gathered, it’s a journey from bronze to silver to gold talents. Strength, dexterity, blah blah, but hey, the real deal is those Witcher signs getting their own tree. Specializing galore. You ever dream of being a master witcher? Now’s your shot.

Now, hold on a sec. It’s in beta, so don’t get too comfy. Some features are still, let’s say, teething. Also, can’t just slap it on any saved game; you gotta start fresh. That’s right, brand-spankin’ new game only. Oh, and you’ll need another mod called SkylineR390’s ‘Alchemy’, so jot that down if you’re diving in.

Kinda nuts how these mods stack, like, there’s also ‘SCAAR’ by PsychoCaki and some immersive camera thing… TheMenxceX and ElementaryLewis or something. Honestly, it’s a whole modding party and you might need a list to keep track.

Do you miss that old-school skill tinkering from the first Witcher, or are you just too cozy with how TW3 rolls now? Let the thoughts spill out below.
