    I mean you see most of the women in it naked already so I’m not sure what the modders are going to be doing 🤔

    Im happy for this. But between this and the last update with a bunch of mods I have to wonder why – how are dev cycles being approved for these lovely changes? Is there enough money to be made pulling in anyone who hasn’t already bought the game and DLC? Good community PR?

      They’ve probably been having this conversation for a long time as it’s one major thing that separates it from Skyrim. They both have the longstanding love from the community but Skyrim is alive in a way that Witcher 3 isn’t.

      Perhaps it was the switch from RedEngine or new decision makers at CDPR or something that finally brought it about.

      My guess would be that it’s relatively quick for them to do and it allows them to bring the Witcher 3 back into the public eye whilst also getting some good will from the active community. Bet they announce another Witcher game release soon.

      The growth as developers from the first Witcher game to Witcher 3, and this kind of PR is why SOOO many people were disappointed with Cyberpunk 2077.

      Old fans probably, to an extent, did grow with them to. It felt like a betrayal honestly.

      Well they ported it to the switch and it’s one of the larger games on the Steam Deck (highly rated, verified, and iirc it was playable not long after the Deck’s release) so they might actually be able to keep extending the life of the game for a while longer and keep making sales.

      I’ve actually had it in my library for a while but haven’t gotten into it because my life is too busy for video games right now. But with official mod support… maybe I can find some extra time somewhere lol

        I bought it right after getting my steam deck because of the reviews of it’s playability.
