To me, a few of the finest quests in The Witcher 3 – or quite a lot of different RPGs for that matter – are those that resolve to get a bizarre and embrace being a weird interlude in what can in any other case be a story that takes itself fairly severely. One of many newest quest mods to reach for CD Projekt’s masterpiece appears prefer it’s determined to take that route.
We have already reported on a few attention-grabbing submissions for CD Projekt’s most up-to-date REDkit modding competitors, which challenged people to create their very own two to 3 mission lengthy questlines, with some modders having opted to place collectively scorching air balloon adventures and journeys to Cintra. Now, with the submission deadline of October 14 having handed, there are a bunch of final minute entries to take a look at.
‘Echoes of Play’ by Olesnienie is what the modder describes as “a surreal journey via two quests”. Having watched the playthrough showcase of it under, I can vouch for the surreal half.
The motion begins with Geralt working into an enormous floating gentle close to Novigrad, which transports him to “worlds the place actuality blends with phantasm”. I will attempt to not get too spoilery in case you need to attempt it for your self, however there’s philosophising with a shadow bloke, the prospect to run round a Dr Seuss dimension as a random little one that is swapped in for Younger Ciri’s mannequin, and a showdown with Geralt’s evil twin/doppelganger.

Within the latter case, it appears the poor doppelganger comes from some sort of sligtly low-poly realm the place folks do not fairly have correctly functionining eyes. All of these items, which appears to attract loads of inspiration from ‘Past Hill and Dale…’, the sensible Blood and Wine DLC quest the place you are whisked off the the Land of Fables, performs out within the un-voice acted silent film trend a number of of the submissions for this modding contest have opted for because of the time constraints.
Whereas Echoes of Play is the the one which’s caught my eye, it is not the one attention-grabbing mod of those final minute entries, with ones like skydoespoint’s ‘Of Kings and Killers – Quest Enlargement’, which places Gerry up towards a witcher murderer being educated by the Wild Hunt, Oleksandr Shapran’s ‘Beast of the blood’, and ‘The Spider and The Wolf’ by Dwhyx and Beoronick among the many others that look to be incomes reward from gamers.
