A huge new Witcher 3 mod lets you create custom characters with all-new combat systems and questlines, but it's actually been in the works since long before CD Projekt released its official modding tools. Earlier this year, CD Projekt released REDkit for The Witcher 3, official modding tools allowing for players to create new characters, animations, items, entire questlines, and much more. You'd think this would naturally open the floodgates for many new, impressive mods for The Witcher 3, which is nearing a decade old at this point, but still going strong.
You'd be mistaken for assuming that's the case with ' Custom Player Characters ,' a brand new mod released last week for The Witcher 3 (via VG247 ). This mod lets you create your very own protagonist from scratch, switching out Geralt for the likes of a sorceress with their very own questlines, but it's actually been in the works for over two and a half years. "I spent 2.
5+ years on making this mod, there were a bunch of tools which I used, including some which I had to write myself," the mod's creator, nikich340, writes on NexusMods. They might not have used REDkit from scratch, but the modder adds that "Redkit was helpful in fixing some animation bugs on last development stages," so it was still made good use of. So what is the huge new mod capable of? Besides from creating your own protagonist from scratch, you can choose whether they're a Witcher, giving them Geralt's gear and quests, or a sorceress, providing new voic.
