📋 About This Mod
4l4qMI0AJcY Replaces roll/dodge (which you want) with pirouette. For patch 1. 31. BETA Update 0. 91 - added option to pick animations randomly - added sliders for each pirouette animation % chance of picking - slightly adjusted animations blendOut values If you're updating from 0. 90:
Open user.settings, find:
DefaultsLoaded=true
Set it to false.
How it works with random option enabled:
Vanila dodge/roll chance = 100% - (default pirouette chance + alternative pirouette chance)
Example with chances set to 50/50 in menu: Vanilla dodge/roll chance = 0%
with 40/40: Vanilla dodge/roll chance = 20%
with 25/25: Vanilla dodge/roll chance = 50%
In menu you can customize which evade type will be replaced, which animation to use, and enable/disable mod. By default mod will use these options:
Mod Enabled Dodge Replaced Default Animation
If it's possible I will add it as third evade type in future versions. But now I want it to be tested and tweaked so it will be as good as it can in current form.
Installation:
Simply extract it (if you have problems use 7zip), place bin and mods folder in game folder. Use Script Merger if you use any other script mods.
Since it's BETA there may be some minor problems, feedback will be appreciated. Thx for Holgar for finding animation names and everyone who tested it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 911 endorsements and nearly 19k downloads.
- Gives Geralt a classy, dance-like dodge that fits the game's style.
- Simple concept—just swaps an animation, so it's easy to understand what you're getting.
⚠️ Cons
- Beta status means it might have glitches or animation clipping.
- Last updated in 2016—likely incompatible with newer game patches or DLC.
For Witcher 3 players who want a more elegant dodge animation and don't mind a bit of jank. If you're a purist who wants the original roll, skip this. It's purely cosmetic, so don't expect gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original animation files before replacing them, so you can revert if needed.
- Check if the mod requires any specific DLC or patch version—since it's for 1.31, make sure your game is updated to that.
- If you use other animation mods, test for conflicts by loading a save and performing a dodge.
