A new mod for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt offers players a unique experience by allowing them to play as a fully customizable Witcher or sorceress.
Created by NexusMods user nikich340, the Custom Player Characters mod enables players to step into the shoes of a character of their own design, moving away from the traditional role of Geralt of Rivia. Players can choose from any character model in the game, mixing and matching different body parts to craft their perfect protagonist.
Not only that, but the mod also allows you to play as a customizable sorceress, complete with a new questline and magic combat system. Available spells include everything from tornadoes and lightning to transforming into a cat or a bird.
The most impressive part of the mod is that it was made almost entirely without the help of the recently released official Witcher 3 REDkit, which made modding a lot easier. Nikich340 spent over 2.5 years making his mod and only used the REDkit to help iron out some bugs near the end of development.
The Redkit was released in May 2024 and has already resulted in people making some pretty cool new mods and discoveries, including one that allows you to ride a Fiend, and another mod that discovered a deleted Yennefer Witcher 3 ending.
