There are so manny good things I can't name all of them so I just wrote down some good things I realy liked. And to be honest I also did some notes while playing about issues I had with the mod.
Good/overwhelmingly nice!
Use of glass shader for the ice (at least I gues it was used for them)
Animated horsies
The characters with the Gwent cards borders and pictures
Exploration in Kaer Morhen (but it leads to nowhere, often just to vistas)
Use of carpet sound for snow makes it silent
in Kear Morhen
New/old music
The libary part of Kaer Morhen
The new trees on the malus islands dead and alive, all the ohter new trees and bushes
All the new hubs looked very nice
The Eskel hub with it's new buildings. Was that hub partilly created by Stollaro? It reminds me of his work.
The Witcher table football reference
The Holy Grail and Star Wars references in the Camelot hub
The new mansion asset is just superb!
The storytelling of the new parts, and the ending with nimue!
Not perfect (minor details and maybe also design decissions, which I disliked and some nitpicking)
- Misplacements of objects (noticable in Kaer Morhen and other hubs)
- Names of the swords eg. fotww_silver_sword_w3 .... is not that immmersive probbaly easier for you as moders
- Mesh issues in the starting tower interior, bad uv mapping ( probably legacy issue from witcher 3 so basically not your fault)
- Might be my system but I got crashes sometimes when it loaded a new area/part
- The big collums in the gorge (Letho hub) are quite strange detail maps are very noticable becasue it is a scaled object
- A shag in the ciri hub (Dunkeld) uses an old pre witcher 2 ( not the detailmat or your pbr shader)
- Next to that shag there are three 100% percent same looking npc
- Freigthener fight, when using Aard a wall fragment appeared at the bells ( I had to reload before the fight)
Hard bugs
- If you fight in the Letho hub (after you rescued yennefer) against the harpies (not in the gorge) you see the posibilty to talk to Letho in fight if you atack this point/invisible Letho the game crashes
- Epilogue Nimue is named Odrin and atackable and the npc comes back after you kill it
Text ( English)
- Typo in Freyas character text "SIlent" instead of "Silent"
- Istred charcter text "fought for the Yennefer" .. fought for yennefer the use of "the" seams weird
Sound
- No sound for the river in Eskels story part
- No battle cue
- Music does only change with quest changes wich is sometimes a little bit of
Wrong or other sound choosen for walking noises
- In one of the broken explorable towers outside in Kear Morhen where you descend a ladder in to it
- wrong (default) sound for wooden stairs in the camelot hub
- wrong (default) sound for wooden stairs in the Inn in Dunkeld
- The mansion floor uses the stone sound instead of the wood sound
- wrong (default) sound for the inn floor in the Epilogue instead of wood
Visual Bug
- at the keeptower gates to the balcony if you are outside of the keep. You see the default brick texture?
- inside the keep next to a bow entering the great hall from outside
- light draw distance in the Libary part near the room with the big crack
- Inkeeper (epilogue) is named inkeeper099989987 when he has a gameplay scene
- No translucency for the windows in the starting tower (minor detail, design choice)
Bad (becasue you invested so much time to polish it and make it unbelievable good that I was surprised about it)
- Obvious visiual bug at the keep frigthener side (probably from witcher 3 so basically not your fault but to big to stay unnoticed)
- too frequent use of the carpet sound in the outside of Kaer Morhen even when ground or mesh is not covered by snow or only tinny amount of snow/ a snowshade. Makes the hub very silent
- Big visiual bug in the libary (the room you meet keira the first time near the window) after the wedding in the va fail luned phase
Horrible (personal opinion)
The different mechanics, the pirouette is so unresponsive and does not fit the gameplay. Pair this with small space, no potions, no bombs, small barriers (like the horses) and Dark modus and the high demand in the fight against the Wild Hunt at the Hanged Mans tree and you get very, very angry even if you should be gratefull about the mod!
(If you want to know my skills I got to the second wraith wave of the dark arena mode after compleeting it once!
No Dark modus means no challenge outside that fight, but insta dead in that fight. Please prove me wrong!)
Questions
Do Freya and Lucienne also have a line in Va Fail Luned?
Where are Iorveth, Roche and Letho in the Va Fail Luned phase and do they have text?
