The Witcher 3 is finally getting a mod editor that’ll let you create and edit your very own quests.
The piece of tech sounds pretty intriguing - the possibility of creating and editing your own quests in The Witcher 3 should be a huge pull for a game over eight years old. It’s a big upgrade for The Witcher 3’s modding community, which is saying something considering how big the modding community surrounding the RPG is at this point.
For example, just looking atNexusMods, there are over 6,000 mods listed for The Witcher 3 at the time of writing. A lot of the existing mods are pretty significant already, offering up things like completely overhauled lighting, upgraded face models for characters, an HD make-over for the entire in-game world, and many more tweaks and upgrades.
Obviously, there are certain things you shouldn’t expect with the new mod editor. Don’t expect your customized quests to suddenly have full voice acting, for example, or cutscenes. In terms of what you should expect, there’s probably someone already cooking up a plotline involving Thomas the Tank Engine somewhere. Or Shrek.
CD Projekt is still working on theCyberpunk 2077 sequel, andwants the sequel to be a step forward like The Witcher 3 was.
