📋 About This Mod
Delays the start of the Blood and Wine expansion until both the TW3 Wild Hunt and Hearts of Stone main quests are finished.
Not retroactive; it has to be installed before you've triggered BaW by freeing the bard.
Tested only on game version 4. 04.
Installation instructions:
TW3 Mod Manager recommended if you need a mod manager to drop the files in the right place for you – AVOID Nexus' Vortex for TW3- otherwise just drop this mod's \mods folder directly inside your <TW3 game install> folder.
If Script Merger detects conflicting mods, it will only work if you give this one priority. See compatibility section.
Uninstall instructions:
Just remove the mod's files.
Compatibility:
Brothers in Arms: Compatible. Just make sure you don't put priority on both mods (because the game handles priority by alphabetical order).
- Make it so that when BaW does become available, you don't immediately get a journal entry for it, instead having to discover the quest naturally by visiting notice boards in Velen.
