Fans Have Made A Mod That Recreates The Original Witcher Game!

Even The White Wolf Needs A Beginning

Everyone and their mother are in agreement that not only is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt the best of the trilogy but also one of the greatest video games ever made. Not to say that the original Witcher or Assassins of Kings weren’t great in their own right, but they just pale in comparison to the splendour, grandeur and overall awesomeness that is Wild Hunt. 

However, in spite of Witcher 3’s majesty, that doesn’t mean that fans of the series don’t pine to play revamped versions of the previous two. While its unlikely that CD Projekt Red will go down this route, fans have taken it upon themselves to give the original Witcher something of a swan song with a brand new Witcher 3 mod. It may not be anything more than a recreation of the first game’s prelude, but its still a nice gesture!

According to an article on Gamespot –

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt introduced a lot of people to the Witcher universe for the first time, but the series’ history extends much further back. The Witcher just turned 10 years old, and to celebrate the game’s birthday, one modder decided to build an homage to the game using The Witcher 3’s much-improved engine.

Nexusmods user erxv recreated the opening act of the original game in The Witcher 3, and the results are pretty incredible.

It helps that The Witcher 3 returns to so many of the same places that the original game featured. Both games feature the Kaer Morhen fortress, after all, and they look pretty similar–even though many years have passed when The Witcher 3 opens. Erxv also did a good job of bringing in the original audio and timing the animations correctly.
