Beauty of Toussaint Reshade

Update 02/2020: The Ultimate Refined Edition available!

Never say never, I suppose... Despite my prior intent of leaving version 1. 1. as the Final version for this Reshade, during my own playthroughs I found myself still tweaking some minor thing here and there towards even more perfection every now and then. And at this point, I decided the resulting

Reshades are improved enough compared to the 1. 1. that it’s worthwhile to update and republish my Reshades (Authentic Wither, this Skellige Reshade and Skellige Reshade ).

If you are new to my Reshades, I suggest using this newest version, which I have titled the Refined Edition. I heavily suggest reading my description page first so you get the idea behind this Modular Reshade aproach.

If you are using prior version 1. 1., I still think Refined Edition is worth updating to or at least checking out, even if the changes are quite slight. Biggest improvements are in regards to overall lighting (less bright or “hazy” outside, and more comfortable / brighter inside). I’ve also included two new filters, though only with very subtle effects. I’ve now added some new screenshots.

This time Refined Edition comes as only Full Version, with all the intended effects. If you don’t like specific effect, such as Depth of Field or MagicBloom, they are super easy to disable yourself in the Reshade menu. Trust me – If you are able to install Reshades, you are able to disable individual effects. : )

Once again, I thank you all for the interest and wish you great moments with this game, which only seems to mature like fine wine!   : )

Duchy of Toussaint with its quests, monsters and gorgeous nature is no doubt one of the best areas of Witcher 3. However, I have not been a fan of its colour scheme and lighting, which I find create too hazy and smoky feeling for my tastes, along with somewhat weird brownish tint.

Hence, I sought to create this Reshade which presents the area of Toussaint the way I always imagined it to be:

With colours fitting the beautiful nature, vibrant and sharp greens, and with clear blue skies

With sharper and clearer lighting, reducing the feeling of unending dusk

With people and their skin hue that looks more realistic (reducing the red blush)

With overall feeling of “Mediterranean warm summer”, combined with a touch of Witcher 2

With fuller shadows and darker nights

This Reshade has been in works for about a year, as a pet project of mine along with some other Reshades.  Now I’m at the point where I am ready to share it with you other Witcher players.
