The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Enhanced Edition Mod

An almost all-encompassing overhaul for witcher 3, which modifies every aspect of gameplay, including the addition of new skills, abilities, gameplay elements and much more.

All aspects of the gameplay have been changed, including the damage system, the combat system, the dodge mechanics, the parry and counter mechanics, etc.
A slew of new skills, potions, runewords and abilities that can all be used in tandem, have also been added to complement the aforementioned new mechanics - creating a vast amount of new builds and synergies, which are all available to the player.

--youtube video--

Seriously, watch that video if you want to know how to install the mod, how the new mechanics work and whatever else.
Alternatively... You could also read the description, but who reads that shit, am I right?

--I skipped user testimonials--

Installation is a walk in the park!
Firstly, a foreword: Every time an update comes out, the settings in-game will be reset to their defaults. After installing, they will also be set to their defaults without you touching them.
Load the game before modifying any settings and then, after trying the mod, you can modify the options.

Just open the compressed file you downloaded and paste the contents of the folder contained within your Witcher 3 root folder
After thats done, just open the Readme file in the downloaded file, and follow the instructions within by pasting the included text into the input.settings file in Documents.
(For me on Windows 7, this is C:\Users\Owner\Documents\The Witcher 3)

If you have any mods that modify input.xml (Like AMM), then it gets a little more complicated. You have to navigate to where the menu files are and open input.xml file.
After you have that file open, just paste my changes (marked with "W3EE Begin" and "W3EE End")
(For me on Windows 7, this is I:\Steam\steamapps\Common\The Witcher 3\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc)











Table of Contents:
(Firstly, all of the new stats can be viewed by pressing "C" while in the Inventory screen.)

1. Adrenaline
Adrenaline is a completely new stat which acts as a combo counter. The higher adrenaline is, the faster your stamina and vigor(signs use vigor now) regenerate.
Adrenaline builds up with every hit. Adrenaline bonuses you get on weapons and armor contribute to the amount that builds up on a hit.
Normal hits build up "10 x adrenaline bonuses + 10" per hit.
Counter attacks build up "30 x adrenaline bonuses" per counter attack. (Can be changed in the in-game mod menu under "Mods")
Getting hit instantly resets adrenaline to 0. Leaving combat also resets adrenaline to 0. (Adrenaline has no on-screen display, you just need to understand that hitting enemies gains it, while being hit resets it to 0)
Adrenaline getting drained when hit can be negated by using the "Containment" Runeword. (Diablo 2 style? Placing certain runes or glyphs into sockets creates unique effects on that item?)

2. Attack Speed
There is a different stat for both Light, and Heavy attacks.
Base attack speed is higher than in the vanilla game, but it is also influenced by your current vitality, stamina and worn armor.
The lower Geralt's vitality(HP) and stamina are, the slower he will attack. Heavy armor lowers attack speed while light armor increases it. (being nude increases it the most).
Medium armor does not change attack speed.
The higher the level of the Resolve talent, the lower the attack speed reduction is from losing vitality.
Light Attacks are also modified by the Muscle Memory and Razor Focus talents. Bonuses scale with skill levels.
Heavy Attacks are also modified by the strength Training and Razor Focus talents. Bonuses scale with skill levels.
Razor Focus grants scaling Attack Speed bonuses based on the amount of Vigor(Signs) points available.

3. Evasion Speed
The base value for evasion speed is the same as for attack speed. The Fleet Footed talent increases evasion speed with each point in it.

4. Vigor
Vigor is the new stat which replaces the old Adrenaline. It is now used to cast signs and is also used for some talents.
Geralt normally has 3 points of Vigor available to him from the start of the game, which constantly regenerates in and out of combat, as long as you do not get hit.
Getting hit or using signs / abilities will lower Geralts Vigor and will impose a regeneration delay, during which Vigor does not regenerate.
The amount of Vigor lost when hit is dependent on the type of the incoming hit and the level of the Resolve Talent.
Vigor regeneration speed is based on multiple factors, like available Vitality, Toxicity and Adrenaline.
Adrenaline increases Vigor regeneration, while having a high toxicity or low vitality will drastically reduce regeneration.
The toxicity reduction cap which is 50%) can be reduced by unlocking the Metabolism Boost talent.
Every charge of Vigor makes part of 10% of overall melee damage (or 8% of critical chance if you have the Battle Frenzy talent) and each missing charge of Vigor, lowers overall sign intensity.
A Quen Shield cast with 1 charge remaining, will be weaker than one cast with 3 charges remaining.

5. Poise
Poise is your ability to withstand incoming attacks. Each point of poise counts as 1% stagger resistance. The soft cap for poise is at 100, while there is no hard cap on it.
Poise normally only lets you resist parriable attacks, but if your poise is at, or over 110, then you will also withstand unparriable attacks, like two-handed axes.
Wearing a full set of medium armor and learning the Griffin School Techniques talent will reduce this value to a required poise value of 80.
The amount of poise available is dependent on Geralt's current Vitality (Geralt's Poise is tied to his Vitality, lower Health = lowered Poise.)
Toxicity grants an increase in poise. (Higher = more poise)
Equipped Green Mutagens grant poise, stonger mutagens grant more poise. Synergized Mutagens grant even more (linked to slotted red, blue or green skills.)
Momentum (running, sprinting, attacking, moving etc) all temporarily increase poise by a percentage, thus having more poise gives you a larger benefit when performing these actions.
Potions (Alghoul Decoction can raise your poise)
Poise works together with some talents and can also help to resist being staggered while dodging or drinking potions in combat.
Opponents also have poise.

6. Evasion
Evasion has been overhauled and made less overpowered. Now it is only an alternative to countering and parrying, instead of being the objectively better choice.
If Geralt evades an opponent and their attack completely misses, no damage will be taken, while if the attack still connects, Geralt will recieve damage. The amount of damage is dependent on a couple of factors such as dodging angle and the level of the Fleet Footed talent.
If Geralt dodges in a 70 degree angle away from the enemy and gets hit, he will take 30% of the incoming damage. If the dodge performed was outside of this 70 degree cone in the facing of the opponent's attack, then full damage will be taken.
Geralt will also get staggered if he gets hit while dodging. Poise can help negate stagger while dodging. Alternatively, unlocking the third rank of Fleet Footed will always negate stagger while dodging. (can be changed in menu)
Every rank of Fleet Footed reduces the incoming graze damage by 20% (damage x 30% x 20% ?). The first rank of Fleet Footed increases 70 degree angle, to 120.
Fleet Footed also increases evasion speed with each rank.

7. Stamina
Stamina has been completely changed. It is now used for all things melee like light and heavy attacks, parrying, countering, dodging, rolling and jumping.
Stamina now regenerates at a slow, constant rate, both in and out of combat.
The only way to raise your stamina regeneration is by drinking a Tawny Oil potion, or raising your Adrenaline stat.
Geralt's stamina also regenerates more slowly the lower his health is and the higher his toxicity is.
The toxicity reduction cap can be lowered to 30% from 50% by taking the Metabolism Boost talent under the General tree.
The lower your stamina is, the lower your attack and evasion speed is.
Losing stamina also lowers melee damage by up to 30% at no stamina. All maluses scale dynamically and don't just give a debuff all at once.

8. Armor
The way armor soaks up damage has also been changed. Every point of armor now soaks up 0.1% of incoming damage, which means that having an armor rating of 100 counts as a 10% reduction to ALL damage types.
Armor works the same way for enemies, and the overall armor rating can be lowered by using attacks that negate armor (like Igni's alternate mode)
The secondary armor stats like percentage based resistances agains certain attack types, bonus damage, adrenaline gain etc, are much more useful now.
Light armor drops defense for agility and faster regeneration times, opposite is true for heavy armor.
Medium armor is good if you want to incapacitate your enemies with a sign, and then finish them off quickly in melee while being more balanced overall, thus allowing you to poise through bigger hits.
Heavy armor can get you out of tough situations by letting you get heavy attacks in, or quickly regenerating your adrenaline, allowing for a slightly slower, but constant attack rate and a high sign usage rate if you play your cards right.
Every armor type is made for different playstyles now and your choice in armor actually matters - light armor is no longer the clear winner.

9 Vitality
Vitality now governs Geralt's overall well-being and resistance, thus losing it will greatly lower his effectiveness in combat.
Losing vitality not only brings him closer to death, but it will also lower his attack and evasion speed, his poise, his stamina regeneration, and his vigor regeneration.
You do not want to lose vitality and thus, you should prepare for every fight accordingly by drinking potions, oiling your swords, using the appropriate signs, and studying your opponent like a propper Witcher would.

10. Meditation
Meditation is now an organic part of the game and will be needed to get Geralt through his trials. It has been made a natural and unintrusive part of the game. Similar to, or better than it was done in Witcher 1 and 2.
Geralt will need to be meditating near an open fire to be able to brew oils, potions and craft bombs. (quest items are an exception).
This can be done by pressing the meditation key once while outside of interiors to set up a campfire if you have Timber and Hardened Timber.
Holding the meditation button will simply make Geralt medidate without creating a fire. This will not use timber, and will not allow the creation of oils, potions or bombs.
Meditating without a fire will still allow Geralt to learn new talents, enhance his equipment with runes and glyphs, or exchange slotted talents.
While meditating, holding the sprint key causes him to Rest, where time passes quickly, and regenerates Vitality.
Resting a minimum amount of time will grant a Well-Rested bonus.
Oils and Potions applied while meditating will be improved. Oils gain 50% more charges, and Potions gain a 20% bonus to duration. (apply them After you have rested)
All actions performed while meditating consume an amount of in-game time.
As for open fires, you do not need to set up one yourself if you want to brew or craft. Existing fires, whether it is a campfire or a cooking stove will also work. Candles will not.
Tapping the meditation key, extinguishes the fire but does not destroy it. You can return to this fire so long as you do not exit the game, or load a save.

11. Preparation
As mentioned before, making Geralt oil his sword or drink potions while meditating (no fire required) will grant certain bonuses.
On top of that, drinking potions is no longer a quick buff, but a longer process.
Geralt needs to actually drink said potion to get its effects, which is best done outside of combat, as you can get hit while drinking (poise is a factor here - high poise may allow you to tank the hit, and allow you to complete the drink)
Potions last much longer than in the original game (from 7 to 15 minutes real-time), making this a much more preparatory process instead of popping White Raffards Decoction when your health is low for a Skyrim-type instant heal.
Oiling and Potion animations can be turned off in the menu (If you're a Casual)

12. Toxicity
Toxicity has both positive and negative effects now.
The negatives can result in death, reduced regeneration rates and lots of personal agony.
The positive is that Geralt's pain reception won't be quite as good as it normally is from all the toxins circulating in his body, so his resistance against incoming attacks (poise) is raised.
Toxicity takes a long time to degenerate. Drinking White Honey isn't solely for removing the effect of Cat during daylight, and resting in meditation can rapidly degenerate toxicity levels.

13. New Potions
A couple of potions and decoctions have been changed, these are:
Blizzard - Rank 3: It no longer makes signs free with 3 adrenaline, but if you have full Vigor, the slowdown will be extended and counters will now trigger it (extended length doesn't apply if triggered by a counter).
Maribor Forest: It now grants and additional point of Vigor and instantly fills Vigor (at Rank 3.)
Cat: Increases base attack speed by more and more with each Rank. Also grants 25 armor.
Alghoul Decoction: Each hit made on an enemy will increase Geralt's Poise by a single charge. Getting hit loweres the number of charges by 2. Also raises adrenaline generation speed.

14. Night Sight
Witchers are supposed to see in the dark at will. Well now they can. (button toggle)

15. Attacks
Different attacks actually have different uses now. Say goodby to the days when only light attacks were really worthwhile because of their speed and high damage per second.
Light attacks have different uses from heavy attacks now. They are good for finishing off enemies and crippling them, while also being a really good crowd control tool.
Heavy attacks are much more usefull now. First thing is that heavy attacks are more effective against well protected enemies, while also negating their poise, and having a chance of applying special effects.
Different talents buff different attack types, adding more unique characteristics to them, thus making them more effective in their specific uses.
The only way to safely survive fights this time around, is to use both attacks at the right times, countering enemy abilities and combat tactics.

16. Finishers
Finishers are no longer simple glamour kills. They act as a new gameplay mechanic now, which grants Geralt stamina with each successful finisher he performs.
The trick is that he can actually get hit while doing one now, resulting in lots of rage and cursing.

17 Overhauled Talents
Almost all melee and general talents were overhauled or completely changed to fit with the new mechanics, or just to be more compelling overall.
You will most likely think about getting general talents over others now.
Melee talents are more in line with sign and potion talents now, both in power and variability. No more boring talents.
Only those 2 categories have been overhauled, but if I can get enough feeback and ideas, then I would gladly do the same with the other 2 trees.

18. Talent Preview
You can now preview later levels of talents by assigning two keys in the kebinds menu, and pressing them while hovering the mouse over a talent. You need to move the mouse off, and then onto the talent for this preview to refresh.
This is important because talents gain completely new abilities at certain levels, and you might brush them off at first, because they seem weak.

(I imagine this list will grow as time passes and people experiment, or if compatibility patches are created.)



To say the least, the mod is probably incompatible with most gameplay mods that you can think about.
The mods I previously listed as the recommended ones are, of course 100% compatible. Absolute Camera needs merging, but there won't be any issues with it, same goes with AMM (Appearance Mod Menu).
Other mods like Ghost mode, Preparations, Friendly HUD, School of the Roach, Better Parrying, etc are completely incompatible (there is an option you can enable to block heavy attacks in the menu).

W3EE changes 86 files, so as you can imagine, it is fairly big. Merging, even if the Script Merger says it isn't, might be problematic and cause some sorts of errors.
If you have a bigger mod you might want to make it compatible with, then contact me and I can check if it works, or make a patch if it doesn't and if enough people request it (Or if I like the mod).
Mods that modify the input.xml file in "Witcher root folder\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc" are incompatible, unless you merge the files yourself, manually.
If you have any other questions, direct them towards me.
