📋 About This Mod

This mod aims to enhance the overall gameplay experience with small amount of changes based on the 2014 E3 demo footages.

Hello there. This mod is the next-gen iteration of formerly named 2014 Gameplay Experience

Build from the scratch this time for the next-gen. back then it was a small mod that consist of combat animations changes, it turned out a small gameplay overhaul.

For the combat and misc changes, i took the inspirations from the 2014 E3 demo footages. i've analyzed them carefully and tried my best to replicate.

Key Features:

- No finishers. Geralt performs dismember mostly. %100 dismemberment change instead of finishers.

- No instakill and knockdown finishers.

- No slow motions with the exception of yrden magic trap, runewrites (HoS) and the mutations (BaW).

- Less long range spins, more fluid sword combat animations. no more consequtive long range fast attack spinning animations.

- No comments on; weathers, combat, place of powers, monster nests & horseback.

- Controller vibration changes: no more vibration after quen expires. no more vibration while approaching to the place of power stones.

You will get intense controller vibration feedback on each landed blows to the enemies. which is disabled by default.

- Enabled camera shakes on all the attack situations: light camera shake on fast attacks, heavy camera skake on the strong, fatal, critic and dismember situatons.

- No more rolling downstairs & no fall damage.

- Aard knockdown tweaks. the Aard sign is noticeably strong, its intensity scales with the player level. its power might be able to knock shielded enemies down and drop their shieds , and stagger some huge monsters.
