New Witcher 3 Mod Introduces Full-Fledged Reputation System
Modders of The Witcher 3 have only had official tools from developer CD Projekt Red for two months, but they've already made great use of them.
One ambitious modder recreated some of the first game's map with the new tools just a day after they were released.
More recently, a new mod has given the already ambitious RPG a full-fledged reputation system, restoring a concept that was reportedly cut from the original release.
Reputation System Details
The mod, first pointed out by IGN, is simply titled Reputation System and was uploaded by Nexus Mods user FreakVlp on July 18.
Now, Geralt's choices and behaviors will correspond to his reputation points in different regions.
For those who use the mod in a new playthrough, there will now be five reputation levels that affect how the world reacts to Geralt:
- Hated
- Disliked
- Neutral
- Liked
- Respectable
The level is determined by a 100-point scale, with each level having a specific range.
For example, Neutral is between 40 and 60.
Whenever Geralt enters a new region, the reputation will start at Neutral, so you don't have to worry about being public enemy number one from the start.
How to Influence Reputation
Doing Witcher contracts, winning horseboat races, or fist fights will boost your reputation.
Some main quests will also impact reputation depending on your choices.
If you steal or swing your weapon in front of guards, you'll lose reputation points.
The system focuses on consequences that matter to your wallet.
Better reputation levels will give you a discount at shops while letting you sell items for a higher price.
The opposite is true if Geralt isn't popular with the locals.
Conclusion
The mod claims to restore this system after CDPR cut it from the game at some point in development.
Streamers Visuals has reached out to CD Projekt Red for confirmation or comment.
