DLC Names from the Path

Overview

The Witcher 3 is a massive game consisting of several massive regions.  There are thousands of NPCs in the game.  Most of them are interactable, such as quest givers, merchants, villains, and even allies of Geralt.  Many of these characters have full names, but CDPR chose to use shortened or generic names for many of them.  This mod seeks to restore all of these unique names to create a more rich, immersive experience for the user when interacting with these characters.

This project consists of edits to more than 250 NPCs' names throughout the entire game and the two expansions.

Version 3. 0 introduces Names from the Path as a completely redesigned DLC-only mod. Now there will be no more conflicts with other mods, no more need for setting prioritization, and no more compatibility patches!

Type of Fixes

• []Shortened  --  In many cases, the game uses first names when full names are available.  Example: Anna Strenger and Tamara Strenger are simply "Anna" and "Tamara" in the game.

  []Consistency  --  Some characters use full names yet others from their same guild do not.  Example: Fringilla Vigo and Philippa Eilhart are given full names whereas the game only displays "Margarita" instead of Margarita Laux-Antille.

  []Typos  --  some names are spelled incorrectly.  Example: Halbjorn Blackhand.  The game can't seem to decide whether it is "Halbjorn" or "Hjalborn" (it's "Halbjorn").

  []Missing Names  --  some characters were given unique names in dialogue, message board notes, or in other ways yet they display generic names in the game.  Example: In the Prologue, Bram is listed as "Merchant".  In Oxenfurt, Otto Bamber is simply called "Herbalist".

  []Shared Names  --  in a few cases, multiple NPCs were sharing the same generic name instead of being given their own unique name.  Example: all of the Puffins from the quest The Play is the Thing were all called "Comedian" despite one of them having a unique name (Nissa).

  []Titles  --  many NPCs have titles that were omitted.  Example: King Radovid and Captain Damien de la Tour.

  Recommended Companion Mods

  This mod will work with the vanilla game.  However, for the best experience, I recommend pairing it with a few other mods:

  []Grammar of the Path  --  GotP is the definitive experience for accurate text throughout the game.  It contains edits to more than 2,100 lines of text to correct formatting, typos, and inaccurate text to greatly clean up the user experience.
