Just in time to make the inferior Iorveth playthrough enjoyable.

Same, but not quite in the mood yet. Perhaps closer to Witcher 3's release.
It's pretty amazing to see them bringing these kinds of changes into a game that's been out for so long. I personally had no qualms with the combat, even at launch.
I kind of wish they remade the first game with their current engine and TW2 like mechanics at some point though, that game I just couldn't get into the combat in that game at all - and I ended up skipping it because of it.
Also, here's hoping for a cameo of a TW3 at one press conferences next week. I played through 2 twice (at launch and with the Enhanced Edition update) with all the same choices, leaving some surprises for an alternate playthrough one I'm finished with 3 on my current save.

What? The Iorveth path is much better than the Roche path I think

Will fix that mistake [in 2 weeks] I hope!
Might be busy with TLOU though.
Did they ever fix the kraken fight? Instant death from failed QTE was terrible.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Hmmm. This interests me. I just couldnt get past the combat of TW2, something just felt rotten at the core. Wonder if these tweaks would get me onboard. PC version only I assume?
Even though I've owned TW2 since late last year, I've been holding off playing it because I knew once the SDK was released it would be greatly improved with mods. The Witcher 1 had a good combat mod, too (fan made, though).
I also really hope skin texture damage is implemented. More immersive than health bars.
Since the PS3 and 360 require publishers to pay something like $20,000 per patch, I would bet on it.
Patches are free on PC.

I just started this yesterday too, think I'll put it down and wait for this mod.

now release it to PS3 PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE I bought the game on PC already but my gear can't play it
Yeah, I would definitely support this too. Heck, I'd even buy it digitally if they ported it to PS3 and released it for a reasonable price. CDPR really are an amazing developer who understand that treating the community well creates customer satisfaction and long term loyalty.
yes, it's a mod by the developer.

Amazing. Years on they are still releasing content and changes to an already fantastic game.
Oh wait, I checked to make sure. It's actually $40,000 per patch:

Love seeing that the input delay is being addressed.

I don't know if we will due to not everyone having a steam copy of the game they might just stick with their site and the nexus.
And you have to install it like a mod because patching costs too much money to implement

Yeah I heard about this a few days ago and have been patiently waiting ever since for it to be released.
I'm currently on my Elf playthru, but I think I'm just going to restart it so I can experience this mod in all its glory.
I just don't know if I should keep my other mods going along with it, or delete them and just run with the full rebalance.

I havent played either Witcher or Witcher 2.
Should I play the first or go right into two?

Sounds great. Been planning to play through again one of these days.
You can go directly to the second and won't miss too much except some references. I'd still recommend playing the first game.

Oh shit, Flash. This is big people. How big? Do you have The Witcher 1? Download his mod, it makes The Witcher combat system into one of the most challenging, and you'll love it.

This one up here is pretty much that, made by the guy making FCR for Witcher 2.

i found the original hard enough
stupid demo plant things that poison your ass.
It did get easier at the end when i started dumping points into offensive magic though.
Might also be because i got the uber gear set thing.
awaiting an announcement at E3.Hopefully they can pull it off especially since they are ready to put work in the game with this patch and 3 is releasing on PS4.

It rebalances the combat so it's less bullshit. Also it forces you to think, like, you cannot hit ghosts unless you use the oil against wraiths on your sword.

I'm sorry, I posted the wrong mode, this is the one I played.

Only dev who merits full price purchase.
So there was indeed a mod similar like this for Witcher 2 but for the first game.

Is a combat one different from ballerina one?
Also, did they ever fix the issue of how you can't seem to be able to cast any magic unless you are completely stationary? was annoying.
