I mean you see most of the women in it naked already so I'm not sure what the modders are going to be doing 🤔

Well obviously make all the men naked as well, hopefully.

Custom animations Ü

Just hope it works better than being horny in Skyrim.

Two chicks at the same time?

Removing the awful camera zoom and graphics around the border when using Witcher Sense

We'll have a whole DLC on a new continent made entirely of titties in about 5 weeks

New quests, new items, new NPC, new dialogue, new locations, I could go on..

Im happy for this. But between this and the last update with a bunch of mods I have to wonder why – how are dev cycles being approved for these lovely changes? Is there enough money to be made pulling in anyone who hasn’t already bought the game and DLC? Good community PR?

They've probably been having this conversation for a long time as it's one major thing that separates it from Skyrim. They both have the longstanding love from the community but Skyrim is alive in a way that Witcher 3 isn't.

Perhaps it was the switch from RedEngine or new decision makers at CDPR or something that finally brought it about.

My guess would be that it's relatively quick for them to do and it allows them to bring the Witcher 3 back into the public eye whilst also getting some good will from the active community. Bet they announce another Witcher game release soon.

Well they ported it to the switch and it's one of the larger games on the Steam Deck (highly rated, verified, and iirc it was playable not long after the Deck's release) so they might actually be able to keep extending the life of the game for a while longer and keep making sales.

I've actually had it in my library for a while but haven't gotten into it because my life is too busy for video games right now. But with official mod support... maybe I can find some extra time somewhere lol

I bought it right after getting my steam deck because of the reviews of it's playability.

hope it is a decent one at least

And Horizon: Forgotten West is finally coming to the PC i 2024 too! Looks like it's gonna be the year of modded replays for me 😁

I’ll stick to Metro Exodus and Divinity if I’m going to mod an RPG
