yes, werewolf quest fix changes her model. i'll post version with new model for those who like it more.in the meantime, here's a fight vs 3 caileeches on 3.0 mod, done on request from Polish topic: http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=q-bDFSKv99wof course in game you absolutely dont have to fight 3 of them same time, you can draw 1, kill and draw another. movie was made because one user thought its impossible to kill 3.witcher level 34strength 5dexterity 5stamina 5inteligence 5igni 4style 3yrden 2potions: swallow, tawny owl, black blood, catoil against carrion eatersas you can see mobility is very important. talking about mobility i mean taking proper position in battle so only 1 enemy can hit you. when 2 other caileeches came too far i broke the sequence and repositioned. of course i made few (lot) mistakes.yrden is very important. on movie you can see just yrden 2 with bonuses but its strong regardless. where fast style didnt inflict the pain, yrden and igni helped.i tried to avoid sign spam but full energy bar yelled "cast a sign" . havent used a single aard.so i fought caileeches, made a movie and then fought some more and whole time i had a feeling there's something wrong. strength 5, strong style 3 with bonuses, oil against carrion eaters and only 20 damage? i appeared that caileeches were classified as vampires not carrion . mod didnt change it, these are settings from original game. i consider it another little bug so i've fixed it. now oil properly adds +100% damage.movie was made before the fix so there's still some margin of error in fights even without oil. with fix there'll be +100% damage from swords.you can download the fix from post attachment. to install it, unpack the archive into "the witcher/data/utc/" folder and overwrite existing files.expect carmen model soon.

oh.. with my mod, sometimes i have to use 10 or more potions during boss fights. swallow, tawny, willow, thats standard 3 but hey, its a boss fight and boss is seriously kicking my bottom so quen, white honey, 2 raffard's, white honey again and swallow, tawny, willow again ;D. yeah, now whoz da addict? first time i really want that potion tolerance gold talent. getting above 50 toxicity seriously cripples geralt and that 4th potion at the same time would really come in handy

installing Polish version wont mess with anything. language pack is placed in different files so altering these files in mod for Polish version wont affect at all English version. also for Polish users there's "backup.rar" archive inside mod, containing original file.i'll upload medium=hard mod in 2 hours. now im a bit busy. the problem with medium=hard mod is that you will have to start new game to make it work.done._________________________________________________________new mod ready to download from attachment in first post.mod for players which modestly started the game on low or medium difficulty doubting in own skills, passed part of the game and realised its too easy. these players have 2 choices:1) start new game on hard, finish same quests again, collect same herbs, kill same enemies2) continue with mod easy = medium = hardmod makes all difficulty levels equal. for those who doesnt noticed another way of using this mod, here's a hint: now you can play on high difficulty with flaming cursor marking next attack in the sequence. just play on medium or easy and you'll enjoy the cursor with hard difficulty._________________________________________________________

medium difficulty means:dealing +50% dmgrecieving -30% dmg30% higher resistance to critical effects: pain, bleeding, blind, burn, poison and charm40% higher resistance to critical effects: stun, knockdownin short, its veryyyy easy. but... i can make a little mod allowing to make medium and hard equally difficult which means that you can have same difficulty with flaming cursor.you can download new Polish versions of the mod from here:version 1.01 - medium difficultyhttp://rapidshare.com/files/153131481/flash_mod_1.01.rar.htmlhttp://www.speedyshare.com/524374390.htmlversion 2.01 - hard difficultyhttp://rapidshare.com/files/153132217/flash_mod_2.01.rar.htmlhttp://www.speedyshare.com/134520272.htmlversion 3.0 - highest difficultyhttp://rapidshare.com/files/153146078/flash_mod_3.0.rar.htmlhttp://www.speedyshare.com/619302304.htmlPolish version will be incomplite in other language versions because you wont see part of new features like: in-game "how to kil each enemy" tips and talents description fixes.translation these text features takes is very slow for one person. cant tell when exactly English version will be ready.new versions changes:- all successfull attacks will leave visible wounds on characters model- you'll actually see the wounds.- blood decals bit biggerblood decals and wounds mod was done before and available on forum but its hard to obtain because of required registration and sending mod via email. changes in my mod are all made by myself, i didnt get the mod from other people. its not original idea but it is my work.- 2 versions of no intro mod disabling movies at game startup;1) no intro (all movies disabled) - default2) no logo (intro is present) - in "no logo.rar" archivemod 3.0 is completely new difficulty, higher then in mod 2.0. every fight was completely tested and its possible to win. lot of tactics and equipment is needed to win there but its still easy when one follow in-game guide (sadly unavailable in english version yet).until i finish mod translation, if you have problems with enemies ill give tips here on forum.

here's skoffin fight on difficulty mod version 3.0 available at Polish section. in version 3.0 skoffin has +50% damage and higher defense still as you can see a level 13 witcher can easily kill him. i made this fight (relatively) easy on purpouse since there's no access to advanced alchemy and geralt is low level at the time of the battle.igni - ignitefast style inficts pain which lowers defense to the level that you have 20% chance to hit with scoffin with strong stylestrong style inficts bleeding which further decrease defense to the level that you have 70% chance to hit with strong stylestrong style is devastating against fast enemiesdead scoffinno circle of power usedpotions: swallow and tawny owlhttp://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=GaSkG4MDlJIsorry for poor quality. thats my first movie ever on youtube and i have slow upload speed.i'll make movies on youtube on request if anyone find some battle too difficult. movies will be made on highest difficulty version of the mod.just write if you find some battle impossible.

 

[Flash]

yes. most monsters are completely resistant to it and precise hit is nerfed. humans will still die from it but someone should. otherwise it would be useless skill.

 

[Flash]

for your information i managed to finish mass effect twice just before EE release ;D. ME suffer from the same problem TW did, its too easy. unfortunately modding ME is very hard if not impossible so geralt wins with shepard.new version of mod is ready in Polish version. english version will miss in-game "how to kill" tips and talents description fixes. translating it will take me some time since i have to focus on studying now. if you dont mind missing monster guide and talents descriptions which is rather aesthetic i can release new mod earlier here and update it when i have time.

 

[Flash]

english is enough after i'll translate descriptions. making Polish ones took me about 20 hours :dead:

 

[Flash]

there was a mod increasing difficulty and exp gain but link to it is not working anymore. i didnt noticed any difference in exp rewards between difficulties. on what are you basing this assumption? i can make a quick workaround mod for you. you'll gain levels quicker but i can assure you that it wont make you happier. game is very easy even on hard difficulty and you want to go further. you can levelup geralt "legally" by exploiting unlimited spawn points like in many other rpg games.leveling mod can be installed from my difficulty mod. you can easily choose it alone without other changes by extracting "leveling change" foldermod in my signature

 

[Flash]

there wont be any problems with any language version, but so far changes in descriptions are present in Polish version. i'll update english version but the ammount of modified text grows bigger with every new mod version. translating it alone by one person requires plenty of time.

 

[Flash]

we know nothing about vesemir being the first or "first" witcher, thats heavy speculation.the problem with mages is that they cant be trusted. even triss doesnt have access to witcher's secrets. still if someone could be trusted with their secrets, it would be triss. not yennefer nor anyone else. triss was most common guest in kaer morhen and vesemir liked her a lot. even lambert liked her though he had strange way of expressing it.

 

[Flash]

of course but im afraid you wont see any change unless you start new game. once carmen model is loaded and saved in savegame it cant be changed via mod. only savegame edition could help but im not familiar with it.i'll change carmen model and include it in next version of difficulty mod. you can choose which parts of the mod you want to install and there's a lot of other usefull changes beside of difficulty in my mod.

 

[Flash]

its normal plot regeneration. triss and abigail (if you saved her) buff you with strong auras in epilogue.

 

[Flash]

oh. you made me nervous because you wrote it breaks the quest and i included this fix in my mod.i can change carmen model to new one. i already checked the quest and i dont see anything wrong with it. if you didnt received the fur just add it using savegame editor available on forum.

On a side-note, since I work with software delivery I can't help comment on your naming of the variants . You have version 1.0 for "medium" difficulty and 2.0 for "hard", and at the same time version 1.4 of your "releases" - and 2.0 and 2.1 in development. If find that a bit confusing, how do they relate to each other? I'd rename your variants to maybe "hard" and "extra-hard", and then have version numbers for those. But maybe that's just me, being damaged from work.

yes, i found 1.x naming unconvenient so i removed everything from first post, reorganised it and renamed.atm version 1.4 is named 0.9. i consider pre 1.5 as uncomplete "products".1.4 is confusing but it doesnt officialy exist anymore, you can delete it or rename to 0.9.your remark is very accurate and i feel the pain that's the very reason i changed mod numeration. next version will be 2.01 not 2.1. this should leave me enough space for possible updates without the worry of lack of numbers.

 

[Flash]

what's wrong with current version? it changes carmen model but nobody complained its not working

 

[Flash]

i'm glad people like it.there's still plenty of work on my list. i'll not limit myself to difficulty changes. new version will include huge monster rebalance, boss fights balance, talents description fix and in-game glossary update.there are mistakes in original talents description, i'm editing text now. glossary update means upgraded bestiary entries with mod changed monster resistances and tips how to defeat each monster.

vs javed act 5

prepare white honey and raffard's decoctionfor knockdown drink willowswallow and tawny owl for standard regenwhen low hp drink raffardwhen toxicity is nearing 60 drink white honey and potions againwhen your butt is kicked you dont have to dance with javed, you arent glued to him. run up the stairs and wait for regen.burn him and whack him.run upstairs and go in circles around the room. keep enough distance to charge level 4 strong style attack, hit and run again. rinse and repeat.

javed is one of biggest game vilains. dont expect him to be easy though he is far from impossible to kill.new version of mod is almost ready.oh, for the tips against javed- before drinking potion use quen of course.

take a closer look at ciri. you cant tell if these eyes are blue or green. something in between and its nice.dandelion could be younger but he is not bad.yennefer is better than i imagined. after seeing her in polish tv series i couldnt get rid of her bad image from my head. now my imagination is reseted and updated to new version ;D

thanks.im extensively testing 2.0 version and version 2.1 after finding out perfect fighting methods and leveling up the game became far too easy with mod 2.0. the problem is that level 5 sword attack is dealing obscene ammounts of damage.level 4 strong silver style attack using aerondight with argentia oil or perun rune deals around 5x 40-50 damagelevel 5 strong silver style attack with same weapon setup deals 4x 120-170 damageonce i learned level 5 sword attack i'm wiping out garkains with just 5 out of 6 attacks from sequence without using any sign. same with bruxa and fast style. thats too easy imo.the idea is that some regular monsters in the game should act like bosses. for example i consider cementaur, bruxa and garkain the strongest representants of their "race".cementaur - a king of necropolisbruxa - 1 step to becoming high vampire. you can hear about high vampires from dandelion at shani's party, they are next step in vampire evolution. queen of the night is f.e. a high vampiregarkain - strongest bat-like vampireadd mutants to the list as the ultimate threat in game plot.these enemies should be frightening. read "a grain of truth", a short story included in the last wish book. bruxa is extremely powerfull and now i'm slaughtering 3 at a time loosing ~40% hp or less.there are only few situations in game where you are forced to face multiple strong enemies at a time in small room. big spaces makes you unkillable, you can always run if you are in danger. i'll take all of this into account and modify the mod.those who know game mechanics well can use it to make fights very easy. there are so many tricks to cripple enemies and buff geralt.[size=12pt]did you know that:[/size]- pain and bleeding can reduce enemy accuracy and defense to the level that he cant hit you at all and you can hit fast enemies with strong attack? attack strong enemies with fast style to inflict pain and abuse this rule. later igni also inflicts pain- with quen and maxed yrden sign is a devastating combination? its not necessary to max yrden but its necessary to use it. you'll win last boss battle thanks to quen + yrden among other skills- jump and whirl from surrounding enemies. enemy behind you have ~100% chance to hit you.using all knowledge makes ver 2.0 very easy.
