DESCRIPTION:
There are 4 different setups you can choose from, depending on your play style. Feline stands for faster leveling, Griffin stands for slighly faster leveling, Ursine stands for slightly slower leveling and finally Wolf stands for slower leveling.
FEATURES:
- []Feline: You will most likely be around late 60s by the end of the game. The goal of this setting is to let you use higher leveled items and have much more perk points and therefore you will be able to focus two skill trees at once(e.g. Combat-Alchemy combination) rather than being force to play in a single style throughout the game.
- []Griffin: This setup is pretty close to default settings, so why does it exist? It basically offers a smoother curve and slightly reduces the XP needed for each level, so you will have slightly easier progression while leveling and also be able to get slightly more levels. You can think of this as an enhanced default settings.
- []Ursine: Leveling is slightly slower than before, this is usually for those people thinking that they are leveling too fast early on in the game and therefore outleveling main quest line in the end. I believe this setting slightly eliminates that problem although it still depends on how you play the game.
- []Wolf: This setting fits well if you are a completionist type of player. Searching for an ultimate challenge at the highest difficulty? You like to finish every possible quest and don't enjoy rushing main questline but still want to enjoy it without being too overpowered just because you leveled too much by doing side quests? Well, I can honestly say, Wolf is for you. You most likely won't even reach LVL35, even if you finish every possible quest.
INSTALLATION: You can easily use Nexus Mod Manager but if you want to install manually for some reason just extract the contents of the rar file into your Witcher 3/Mods folder.
