Okay, so REDkit’s given The Witcher 3 modders the power to do numerous new stuff with the sport this 12 months, and the mod I am about to let you know about may take the cake by way of being the wackiest. Sure, even over Gaunter O’Dimm in his swimming trunks.
That is excessive reward, provided that along with rubber ring O’Dimm, the checklist of different Witcher 3 REDkit creations we have reported on this 12 months contains sizzling air balloon adventures, an enormous ship you possibly can fall by means of the deck of, and a quest that sees Gerry from the River combat his evil twin.
‘Geralt the Centaur’ by modder errornoaccess is a factor that I got here throughout on the Nexus and instantly began checking whether or not I wanted to uninstall something to create space to stay TW3 again on my arduous drive. Mainly, what it says on the tin is that it is a mod that allows you to blow on an enormous horn to show Geralt right into a creature with the his traditional torso/head, however the physique of a horse from the waist down – impressed by some humorous CD Projekt sticker artwork.
In observe, I can affirm it very a lot does that, in a lovably janky style that actually brings a contemporary twist to wandering across the Continent. After shopping for the Name of the Centaur merchandise, which you activate by sticking in one in all your merchandise slots (such as you would bombs, for instance), from Bram, the service provider in White Orchard, I used to be capable of gallop, trot, and canter concerning the countryside – simply as errornoaccess does within the clip beneath.

Severely, whereas the motion’s as janky as you’d count on a bizarre amalgamation of man and horse animations to be, you possibly can actually get some pace on. Doing all of your finest Sonic impression as you dash across the Vizima palace, crashing into Nilfgaardian troopers and marble pillars, earlier than pulling up subsequent to snooty Movran Voorhis and letting out an enormous whinny – as a result of the mod retains the default horse sound results on – might be one of the vital hilarious issues I’ve ever skilled in a online game.
There are understandably some limits to the mod from a roleyplaying perspective, with Geralt’s common human legs all of the sudden returning the second you provoke a correct dialog with an NPC or in the event you press pause, which additionally guidelines out any centaur lovemaking with Yen, regardless of how a lot she may love stuffed unicorns. That stated, you possibly can keep your horse type in battles with enemies, with the one I received into on the streets of Novigrad being a storm of clip-clopping and sword-swinging.
