The Witcher 3: The 18 Best Decoctions

Decoctions can help Geralt get out of a tight jam in The Witcher 3. These examples are some of the most useful.

And of course, as time goes on, more amazing mods are created for the title. From quality-of-life improvements to minor tweaks to completely fresh content and ideas, there is no shortage of ways to change one’s experience with the game. Even such a critically-acclaimed game can be made better, or tweaked to fit a particular player’s preference. In this case, the following mods make the characters of the game better in one way or another.

1 Characters Reworked Project

Endorsements - 1,043

Characters Reworked Project

The creators of this particular mod wanted to improve the textures for both the faces and the outfits of NPCs in the game, and have succeeded with flying colors. Especially with the latest version of the game, vanilla characters often stand out among the improved textures, and this mod is a great way to bridge the gap.

Players should always be mindful when installing multiple texture mods, as certain files can overlap and create multiple issues. As always, it is best to carefully read the description of every installed mod, and follow the creators’ instructions.

2 Realistic Eyes Fixed

Endorsements - 1,527

Realistic Eyes Fixed

Eyes are often the focal point of a character, and it only makes sense to give them as much attention as the rest of the game. The creator of the mod has upscaled the eye textures for all characters into 2K and 4K resolutions, respectively.

The best-looking games on the PlayStation 5 feature remarkable visuals and are a must-play for players who appreciate games with stunning graphics.

Aside from that, the creator has also adjusted the colors for certain characters, using descriptions from the books. It is a great mod to improve the immersion and enhance every conversation with the myriad of characters that the game has to offer.

3 Geralt Doppler

Endorsements - 3,312

Geralt Doppler

While the story does revolve around Geralt, who says players can’t try their hands at playing as other characters? This mod allows just that, replacing Geralt’s model with a number of choices, allowing for an entirely new way to experience the game.

While the dialogue remains unchanged, and most of the animations remain Geralt’s, it is still quite the experience to delve into the swamp as one of the supporting cast, or even a completely new character. Players are free to create their own witchers, making the entire experience much more roleplay-heavy.

4 New Hairstyles And Beards For Geralt

Endorsements - 3,656

New Hairstyles and Beards For Geralt

While perhaps not very book-accurate, Geralt can spend an incredible amount of time fleshing out his outfit and his looks. This mod simply expands the players’ options, allowing for much more customization when it comes to beards and hairstyles for the old witcher.

The Witcher: The Most Powerful Mages, According To Lore

Mages hold great power, both magically and politically, in The Witcher universe. Here are some of the strongest of both, according to the lore.

The mod adds more than 30 new options and does so in a way that does not remove or replace any of the old ones. It is a great mod for those who appreciate witcher fashion wars.

5 Multi Companion Mod

Endorsements - 5,358

Multi Companion Mod Enhanced

Companions are a staple of the RPG genre, and there are multiple instances in the vanilla game where Geralt is accompanied by one character or another. However, there is no such thing as permanent companions, as they usually only join the player for a quest or two.

With this mod, however, players are free to build their own roaming party, consisting of their favorite characters. Geralt might be a loner, but even he appreciates good company once in a while.

6 Lore Friendly Ciri

Endorsements - 6,368

Lore Friendly Ciri

Ciri is an incredibly prominent character in both the game and the books, and it is not surprising that many wanted to blend the two. While the vanilla version is fairly true to her book description, the author of the mod wanted to make a few adjustments to push the resemblance even further.

Even for those who have seen everything in The Witcher 3, mods can deliver a fresh new experience!

From the color of the hair and eyes to a few facial features, the mod does look a touch more grounded, which is quite fair when it comes to book depictions.

7 All NPC Scabbards

Endorsements - 13,481

All NPC Scabbards

Given just how many armed characters there are, it makes perfect sense for all of them to have a way to properly store their swords. Multiple enemies magically summoning their weapons out of thin air has rubbed many players the wrong way, and this mod does a great job of fixing that.

At the moment, the mod only covers sword sheaths, but the author has mentioned that they are working on expanding the list to axes, maces, and other weapons.

8 Lore-Friendly Witchers

Endorsements - 15,061

Lore-friendly Witchers

Vanilla Geralt looks quite… healthy, which is not at all how he is described in the books, or even in some of the previous games. Witchers are renowned for their pale complexion, and visible effects from years of abusing their potions.

The Witcher 3: Best UI Mods You Should Try

With these diverse UI mods for The Witcher 3, players will be able to alter their interface for a different experience.

The mod does a great job of representing more lore-accurate witchers and makes changes across all monster hunters. It is a great mod for those who appreciate the original lore and want to have a more immersive experience with the game.

9 High Quality Faces

Endorsements - 28,883

High Quality Faces

It isn’t difficult to see why this is the most downloaded character mod on the website. The new textures look great, and do a fantastic job of making the entire experience with the game more smooth and immersive.

The mod affects all main and secondary NPCs and most of the commoners. Given just how much visual fidelity has been improved in the game, doing the same for characters makes perfect sense, and this is a fantastic addition to any mod collection.
