Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference.

The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred.

If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.
― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

 

So, after playing a few years of "Witcher" games and decades after I read the first book of Geralt's adventures, the time has come for me to sort my (huge) pile of notes .

Why not make a blog out if it? OK, you convinced me. :classic_biggrin: Here we go.

 

Basically, I want to start with the mods and tools that I play, some web links to get help, perhaps some background reading and maybe some good playthroughs on YT that I enjoyed.

This article here will serve as my table of contents. Links will appear, once I am sufficiently happy with that section/article.

milady Worik,

hello; hope this finds you well.
so earlier this morning i acquired "The Witcher — Enhanced Director's Cut" for my Platform (Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6) from GOG, and am downloading it as i write. the package is rather complete, with all goodies included,

and my rather beaten-up iMac config surpasses the recommended system requirements.

since
1. i never — and i insist: never ever — played any of The Witcher franchise titles before but;
2. would like to try it and have the game eventually Modded, yet;
3. i'm on the Mac OS X platform so have no idea whether Skyrim/The Witcher 3 Mods will run on my game version and platform or not;

 

i'd like to ask for some help on playing it and (sooner or later) Modding The Witcher. hence i ask:
• any idea where to find some sound literature about Modding the game?

• do you know of any Mac user who plays a Modded version of The Witcher?

thanks for the blog and for your assistance, milady Worik.
 

 

cheers.

That urges me to write the first blog post from the overview (right) ... at least in a draft state. Though I fear you will have to wait for the next weekend :classic_blush:

 

I play(ed) Witcher 1 in the native WIndows version and it works even well on a low budget 2015' vintage netbook with Linux/Wine.

Most mods in the Witcher 1-3 series  concentrate on the game scripts or textures. => Those should work in every environment.

Some mods, especially in TW3 are optimizing the performance waste in Windows and rubbish GFX drivers. :classic_unsure: => Those won't work anywhere else.

Cut & paste from my incomplete scratchpad for The Witcher 1.

As far as I know: it should.

At least that's what I want to find out in autumn/winter, when we think about a new *cough* game PC

WOW, milady Worik: that's great!!!
can't wait till this beast ( ? ) is finished downloading (still over 30 minutes to go).

thank you for the explanation; i'm kind of used to having to Mod my own games due to this platform. OS X is a solid system (especially up to version 10.11), but the hardware lacks real game/video processing power. if my budgeting works right, by this time next year i'll have another hackintosh built on a PC gaming hardware — for personal use only — and retire this iMac.

Nevertheless I recommend the books ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Witcher

I just got myself The Last Wish (you should start here) and Sword of Destiny as ebooks for my boring journeys. The book shelf has already all of them (worn out from too much abuse over the decades) :classic_laugh:

Ditch amazon in the trash bin! Support your local book store! ?   ?‍☠️

Just in case you like to watch Let's Plays, don't mind spoiler or want to know how others play it,  I have some TW1 playlists :classic_happy:

 

By Gopher -  Immersive role playing - "What would Geralt do?" Instead of "What would I do?"

Spoiler

 

 

By ProberBird - many side commentarys to explain the background. Not everybody's taste

watching the first YouTube video;
it's impressive, milady Worik — breathtaking!
by Oblivion!!! i'm wordless.

the game is already sitting in my computer; i'll read through the guide, install it, and try it as an Idiotic Novice later on this evening!

? I know that feeling. I got the game as an early christmas gift a few years ago. ?

I couldn't play it when it was released (RL issues) but that only meant that I had spoilers en mass, whenever I talked to my fantasy-affine friends. :classic_ohmy:

milady Worik,

i just saw the fatal errors i made on that thread "Count To 1,000,000" due to my "The Witcher" excitement (and lack of spectacles): instead of 10729 i posted 10279 THEN 10280.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
perhaps i should apologise to Dr. @Psalam for those mistakes — even though i believe they are defensible, therefore forgivable: The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut.
( and no ? )

thanks * 1,000,000 again for your help, milady.
wish you a wonderful Tuesday.

So, will you make a stories too or this thread is only informational?

At first, I was thinking about exactly that. But I doubted it would interest anyone here on LL.

So now, I planned the thread to write down my collection of notes first - then set up a new game (another :classic_angel:)  .... if RL permits me enough time :classic_unsure:

 

But you made me thinking, if I should screencapture and blog "Geralt's diary" ? ? Which would feel odd. I better write it from Dandelions perspective, as in the games :classic_laugh: ... or Nimue's ?

I guess, that is a convincing argument. :classic_laugh:

Remember that, when your son is a bit older and asks for another ice cream or a sweet roll. :classic_wink::icecream::cakeslice:

 

But don't expect a story very soon.

RL is pretty tough on my spare time :classic_unsure:

Easier said than done :classic_laugh:

I discovered that I couldn't take screenshots with TW and TW2. Only TW3 worked.:classic_unsure:  My last straw was bandicam and finally it worked.

 

Though I must say that TW1 screenshots from a 2007/8 game don't look thaaaaaaat  convincing. Compared to more modern games.

Well, it still IS fun to play it, but looking at the pictures afterwards .... ?

Done. Finally I've found the time to update my TW1 modlist. :classic_happy:

Tomorrow, I can go to work and fix the missing post for them.

And that's not even my complete watchlist.

It will need a bit more work, I guess. :classic_shy:

 

Some special questions that can't wait any longer? I could have a look at my draft ?
