📋 About This Mod

Next gen overhaul built upon concepts and design choices of Ghost Mode and Alchemy.

Overview:

Spectre is a full game overhaul that aims to strengthen the core aspects of The Witcher 3 without straying too far from the original design choices. It fully incorporates most of the features found in Ghost Mode and bonds them with the existing FCR3 changes found in the next gen version of the game as much as possible, but reworked in a smarter way that allows for a better merging and management experience, as well as incorporating additional bugfixes and QoL improvements.

Aside from Ghost Mode, Spectre also incorporates an alchemy system similar to the standalone Alchemy mod, but also reworked and modified to some degree internally, though much of the design concepts remain the same.

For details on Ghost Mode and Alchemy, please visit both of their respective pages:

Alchemy: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/8081

Special Notes:

- Spectre requires commitment and is not recommended to be installed or uninstalled without starting a new game.

- Spectre was primarily created to be used in conjunction with the Eternal Hunt. It will work with or without it, though without EH installed the game becomes relatively easy due to the changes made to Spectre: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/8449

- Spectre has a custom Vladimir UI crafted for it, which will also work seamlessly with the Eternal Hunt as well: https://github.com/apokryphus/vladimir-ui/releases/latest
