Rise of the Sword

NOTICE! If you have any mods installed that alter the base_scripts.dzip files then you will get script compilation errors on game start-up when you install my mod. Look out for mod conflicts.

Look through the changelog to get a full insight as to what this mod does, for example, the more convenient way that the medallion now functions. View ReadMe for extra details regarding the combat system.

Before we start, I'd like to thank Gibbed and CD Projekt RED for giving me the tools to mod the Witcher 2 and allowing me to do so.
