📋 About This Mod
I decided to tie the speed increase to the use of a couple of skills from the combat skill tree, but this could be easily modded out, or added to."Muscle Memory" skill will increase Fast Attack speed by 10% per level, to a maximum of 50%."Fleet Footed" skill will increase Dodge and Roll speed by 10% per level, to a maximum of 50%. Now the proper way to increase animation speeds is to edit Behavior variables, but I didn't have any luck there, so this is a workaround until there's a way to edit behavior files. Edited scripts:r4Player.wsactor.ws - this one is optional but recommended, I tweaked some functions to minimize buggy behavior, and capped the animation multiplier at 2. 5, because it gets wacky if it goes beyond that limit. I did not post this at the nexus, because I don't have enough time to maintain it, I might not be able to work on it again so this might not get updated.And of course, Modders are welcome to use this in their work.
This mod ties Geralt's attack and dodge animation speeds to two combat skills, Muscle Memory and Fleet Footed, granting up to 50% speed increases. It includes edited scripts to minimize bugs and caps the multiplier at 2.5. The author notes it may not be updated and welcomes other modders to use it.

For Witcher 3 players who want faster combat without making Geralt a blur—this ties speed to skill points, so it feels earned. If you're on a newer game version or use other combat overhaul mods, you'll need to test carefully. Skip if you want a simple global speed hack or don't invest in those skills.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to invest in Muscle Memory and Fleet Footed skills to see the speed increases.
- If you're using other combat mods, check for conflicts with r4Player.ws and actor.ws.
- Since the mod is old, verify it works with your game version before relying on it.
