📋 About This Mod
Better PokerQrrgcffAEps
Description
The way the poker is implemented in Witcher 2 is very strange, camera close-ups, strange betting options - this mod tries to revamp the behavior of it. Betting scalable with difficulty level of the opponent and camera that STAYS IN ONE PLACE (camera similar to the one in Witcher 1).
Minimum amount of a bet stays the same at default 10 orens but different vendors can have different minimums set, what changes are the maximum amounts:
-
[]Easy - 25 orens
[
]Normal - 50 orens[]Hard - 100 orens
[]Master - 200 orens
All camera moves have been replaced to the top side view. Close-up has also been commented out. The board now stays stationary akin to Witcher 1 board.
Outside playarea throws
These have also been amended, now when you throw against the wall of the playarea, the dices will bounce off. There's a small possibility for the throw to last a few seconds, so still, try to not throw too hard.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 375 endorsements from Witcher 2 players.
- 8,108 downloads — clearly solves a common annoyance for many.
- Directly targets the two biggest complaints: camera close-ups and weird betting logic.
⚠️ Cons
- No updates since March 2020, so any bugs won't be fixed by the author.
- Only affects the poker minigame — if you don't play poker, you get nothing.
- Removes cinematic camera close-ups, which some players may have enjoyed for immersion.
For Witcher 2 players who actively play the poker minigame and are annoyed by the default camera angles and opaque betting system. Good for those who want a more practical, fixed view and stakes that make sense relative to opponent skill. Skip if you never touch poker or preferred the original cinematic close-ups.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the mod in a quick poker match before a long session to ensure the camera fix works with your game version.
- The betting now scales with opponent difficulty, so be prepared for higher stakes against tougher players.
- If you use other mods that alter gameplay scripts, install this one last to avoid overwrites, as Witcher 2 uses a single override folder.
