It's clear CDPR did not do this when designing The Witcher 3.

It's hard making games that are challenging and it has to be done carefully. There's a reason From Software works so hard on their level and enemy design. There are some problems with the "Dark Souls esque" punishing combat in the engine CDPR made and sometimes it feels like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.
#DARK SOULS AGGRESSION MOD MOD#
Since I installed it, I have played every playthrough with it on and have no intention of uninstalling it.Īfter 2 1/2 playthroughs of the main game and one full playthrough of the expansions I want to point out a few issues I have with it for anyone who's thinking about trying this mod out. I will never be able to return to the vanilla game as this mod offers far too much for me to consider anything else. With levels being taken out, items from quests are far more valuable and gear is chosen by it's stats, not it's def/atck numbers. It was really frustrating in the vanilla game going into a new area to find that enemies were too high level so you have to turn around and come back later only to find that there was nothing really new in that area, the game just didn't want you going there yet. The world is big and it deserves to be explored. The removal of levels for enemies, items and quests is another great addition. Reading up on a monster then deciding which potions, oils and bombs will aid you and your playstyle really makes you feel like a Witcher. I'm a huge fan of the new alchemy system and now potions and oils are essential for boss fights. The mod is able to completely overhaul the game and adds a great deal of depth and challenge to a game that was severely lacking it.

If you've never heard of this mod then the "too long, didn't read" summary is that the mod is great and I want to give praise to the mod authors.
