Want to Experience The Witcher 3’s 10th Anniversary with a Classic RPG Twist? This New Mod Revamps the Skill System in Witcher 1 Style!

Alright, so here’s the thing. Imagine this: The Witcher 3 is, like, ten years old now. Crazy, right? And while everyone’s jumping back into these vintage games—like some kind of gaming time machine—a certain mod has popped up for those nostalgic about The Witcher but itching for something fresh.

So, picture this: you’re messing around, trying to shake up your Witcher gameplay. You’re swapping out one skill system for another, like trying to wear a pair of glasses upside down for a new perspective. I mean, who’s to say which is better? Maybe it’s like comparing apples to oranges. Or apples to… dragons?

Oh, and quick side note—there’s this Gerwant30 person who’s made this Witcher 1 talent tree mod for Witcher 3. I heard once they got second place in some CD Projekt contest with something about exploring Cintra. Not that I ever finish anything I start, but hey, props to them.

Right, where was I? Oh! So, they’re weaving in the OG Witcher skill vibes into The Witcher 3. Like, giving you all these layers to play with Geralt’s development. Supposedly over 200 new skills. Crazy detailed stuff. Must be a blast if you enjoy tweaking every little thing.

And, okay, I watched this video—didn’t literally watch it, but you get what I mean—and it’s about earning these talents: bronze, silver, gold. It’s like a progression dream for all you min-maxing lovers. It’s got these deep skill trees—yeah, the ones where you get lost in for hours because, why not?

Anyway, the power is all about character build, not so much about the gear. So, gearheads might be slightly disappointed. But since this is a beta, there’s still stuff in the works. The mods are meant for a clean slate game, not to be tossed into old saves.

Also, there’s this whole list of recommended other mods to use with it. Something about Alchemy and stuff by folks like SkylineR390, PsychoCaki. Honestly, trying to keep up with all the names is like trying to memorize every Pokémon—good luck, right?

So, what’s your take? Do you dig the old-school skills, or is the familiar TW3 style just too cozy to ditch? Drop your thoughts, or let them drift like leaves in the wind.
