The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

STLM 3.1 mod is out, overhauls lightning to make the game look closer to old trailers. Tried it for a bit, seems good, although I like vanilla about the same:

Volumetric Clouds over Skellige is also a great mod, allows the game to look close to Sword of Destiny trailer

I tried STLM, just didn't get on with it. I think vanilla with a good Sweetfx looks better tbh.

STLM was terrible in older versions, this one is much better/more consistent.

Cool I'll try it again. Think I had some stability problems last time I tried it.

Noob question -

Never played any of the witcher games and coming to the end of my time in Skyrim SE.

Is this worth a punt? Do I need to have played the previous games?

Pighardia · 21 Jan 2017 at 12:40

It is definitely worth it. You don't need to have played the previous games but you should as they are great. You will not know who some of the characters are,but nothing major. You will still be able to follow everything easy enough.

It isn't like Skyrim at all. It is a more streamlined game, more focused on story.

Few last screens from my testing of STLM

That looks awesome Paul... But tbh I have it looking really good with a sweetfx, so whilst it would probably look better with STLM, I don't think I'll risk messing about with it

I just started my second play through after completing my first back in 2015 and I have to say, it's good to be back. In the last 15 months or so I've played Fallout 4, Skyrim SE and a couple of others but none hold a flame to Witcher 3.

I went with the new start option that merges the main game and DLC and have only just got to White Orchard but I'm already having to force myself to stop playing as eating is somewhat essential.

Narj · 22 Jan 2017 at 08:19

Yeah I can see this being up there with ME1 and 2 for replay value. I'll have another play through of all three in a year or two and make completely different choices.

374 hours later, still not completed the Blood & Wine

(completed the main game only once & HoS)

this was fresh new playthrough

going to NG+ After

Won the game in a competition on Gregsters YouTube channel yonks ago but never got around to playing it, gotta say it does look lovely.

Really not my type of game but I'm going to try and get into it.

Just hate repairing my gear so often.

mine works? :/

Digital X · 22 Jan 2017 at 17:40

I'm thinking it's a mod conflict issue. I know of the script merger but no idea how that works.

http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/m...age=2&sort=DESC&pid=0&thread_id=3137434&pUp=1 This one you using?

I'll enable a mod at a time and see what the culprit is.

Edit: OK, with just the mod enabled my silver sword goes up to 100% from 92% after use. So it DOES work, just not with <something mod>

smogsy · 22 Jan 2017 at 17:58

cant remember but folder is: modUnlimitedDurability

shankly1985 · 22 Jan 2017 at 18:01

On a percentage of main mission only and I doing the Ugly Baby mission now, how much have the story I done so far guys?

Digital X · 22 Jan 2017 at 18:12

I know what the mod folder is, I tried it manually. Now I have the "no dlc installed, cant load" issue.

Me and mods never get along it seems.
