📋 About This Mod

This is my attempt to emulate The Witcher 3 control scheme for The Witcher on PC. Due to the unique PC interface, "virtually" seamless improvements were made. An external program, reWASD, is required in order to implement this controller

I'm one of those gamers who does not particularly enjoy the typical mouse and keyboard setup for most games. I attempted playing The Witcher years ago using the keyboard and mouse and detested the controls so much I never manged to get passed chapter one. After getting sucked into the Netflix show based on the books, I wanted to give it another go. I decided I'd find a way to make a controller work as fluidly as possible while emulating the Witcher 3 controller scheme as closely as the game would allow me.

To make a long story not quite as lengthy: After a several hours, I managed to put together a reWASD configuration which stays relatively consistent to the console controls for the Witcher 3, as much as possible, while maintaining an effective game-play experience for the PC interface. I'm confident enough in the current build to release it to the modding community. There may or may not be updates to the file in the future. This configuration has been tested through two complete play-throughs (On Medium and Hard Difficulties) of the game and therefore is not likely going to be updated any further unless one of you lovely users proposes an irresistible improvement. All in all, I'm very happy how it turned out  I welcome input from anyone bold enough to try this controller configuration out.

Requirements:

reWASD - This is NOT optional

I wish I had known about this program years ago. It's not free, but it shouldn't bankrupt you. At the time I was posting this, reWASD's  core program was going for $6. 00 and it was only $19. 99 for the complete bundle. I splurged on the whole kit-n-kaboodle in order to construct this configuration. If you're not sure you want to spend the money, luckily, there is a free trial available so you can test it out first. I don't know if you need to purchase all the modules I used in order to implement this configuration. At the very least, you will be unable to make certain edits/changes to the config if you're lacking a required module.

Once reWASD is installed, download my zip file. Unzip and place the controller configuration file into your config folder location. Its default installation directory should be something like this: C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\reWASD\Profiles\Witcher 1\Controller. You may need to create The Witcher Profile if you don't have one already. Here's a direct link to my controller configuration through reWASD if you want to streamline the download. If you do use this method, don't forget to download from here as well if you find it endorsement worthy. Many thanks!

The following is an in depth breakdown of the controller setup:

Note: This is intended to be used with the default control settings in game. If you've changed anything, you'll need to restore them to default before using this configuration. Undesirable behavior will likely result if you do not use the default settings.
