The Butcher of Blaviken Witcher's Set

After three years of promises, excuses, and other formalities (and an exactly 3000-mod upload-gap), I, 4Strings, procrastinator-in-chief, finally present to you, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Elves, Dwarves, Halflings and Vampires…

THE BUTCHER OF BLAVIKEN WITCHER’S SET

The sequel to the world-renowned (for its complete broken-ness)

Roaming Witcher’s Armor

Utilizing the best W3 modding tools available – no thanks to CDPR, and with mountains of thanks to the hard-working MODDERS who painstakingly pieced together and reverse engineered the game – this mod is the fulfillment of my four-year journey to replicate this fan-created image in-game while causing minimal interference with other assets.

This mod is a slimmed-down and streamlined “update” to RWA and contains (for now) a single complete witcher set comprised of armor, trousers, boots, gloves, and a steel and silver sword. The items have stats somewhere between their superior and mastercrafted counterparts (maybe a tad closer to mastercrafted) and can be obtained, in true RWA fashion, by completing the two master craftsmen quests in Velen/Novigrad “Master Armorers” and “Of Swords and Dumplings”.

While this mod alters substantially fewer vanilla game assets than RWA, we are still restricted by the inability to modify .redcloth files, which are essentially fabric models for things like the “dress” of the Ursine armor, and which is the reason that RWA broke after the 1. 30 Update, when CDPR added that restriction (thanks, CDPR).

Because of these limitations (and some personal preferences),the primary version of this mod requires installing thin_o_vintage’s “The Berserker - Unofficial Concept Art Ursine Armour” (v15) and Reaper et al’s “Witcher 3 - Enhanced Edition” (v4. 93, so if you have an earlier version of W3EE installed, please update it), in addition to HoS, BaW, and all the free DLCs.

There is also a "Vanilla Edition" available under the optional files section that does not require any additional mods as well as a "Non-W3EE Edition" that does not require installing the Enhanced Edition mod but keeps the dark gray textures and does require The Berserker mod or similar.

These alternative versions undergo only minimal testing so there might be a few bugs. If you find a bug, please report it in the bugs section.

Note that there there is currently no plan to make a "short skirt" version of this mod, so please don't ask for one.
