📋 About This Mod
Found this by accident and thought it looked cool. This makes the mark/branding from Hearts of Stone glow and burn permanently for as long as you have it, so it should make your Hearts of Stone playthrough much more interesting than the one that is barely noticeable. Should be compatible with other texture mods as long as they don't remove the mark. Compatible with Next-Gen.
Installation:
1. Download the file;
2. Extract the modHoSBurningMark folder to /The Witcher 3/Mods/ folder;
3. Launch the game.
