📋 About This Mod

===============================================    The Witcher 2 - Assassins of Kings (Enhanced Edition)   ===============================================    MOD - Master Witcher Redux   ==========================

This project was inspired by the Full Combat Rebalance 2 (FCR2) mod by Flash of CD Projekt RED. Formerly based  upon FCR2 during the initial portion of development, it has since branched off and come into its own with a slew  of changes. The highlights revolve around combat. These include improved parrying, free-form targeting, focused  attack, and combat-based experience points to name a few. Most of the new abilities are acquired through  character ability development. The player level cap has been extended to 96. So it is possible to completely fill  the entire skill tree. Leveling will also slow down towards the higher levels due to progressive XP requirements.  While a lot of the changes were allegedly spurred by personal preference, game balance was still kept in mind.  But on the surface, the mod does tip the scale in favour of Geralt being a master witcher.

Manual Installation   ==================

Extract file folder /master_witcher to ../Documents/Witcher 2/UserContent. Note with game patch 3. 4. 1 the user content path can be changed.

IMPORTANT: Backup your existing saves to another folder. An autosave from this mod will delete any existing autosave before it!  This should be done anyway as old saves would be incompatible with the mod, and vice versa.

Run the launcher and select the mod from the Mods list. Then launch the game as usual.
