Hi I am Nothinmuch, this is my first mod so please be kind!! :)

Witcher Crossbows Overhaul was created with the purpose of making crossbow more useful, not necessarily by augmenting the damage they do but by adding them some interesting bonuses, effects and new upgrade schematics. This mod started in my head way before Blood and Wine expansion was released, I always wonder why they were only two witcher crossbows, what about the other school? But that was not that important back then, when Blood and Wine got out, I saw that now we have "Set Bonuses", how disappointed I was to see that not only no new "Grandmaster" crossbow were added but crossbow didn't even count in the "Set Bonuses". This mod is here to here to remedy this situation.

If you guys want to translate my mod, please contact me in private and give proper credit.

Obviously, for the Blood and Wine users, I added :
  • Manticore Crossbow
Is that all?... No Now, every crossbow have 3 schematics (Manticore Crossbow excluded, got only 1). So if you play the game from a fresh start, and go through the scavenger hunts quest, you will find the schematic for the crossbow WITH the schematic for the silver sword of the corresponding Witcher school. Every crossbow will upgrade from "Normal, to Superior, to Grandmaster", I didn't include every possible upg
