The standard version of the combat system does not suit some.
While waiting for The Witcher 4, some are not bored and continue to support "The Witcher 3". Recently, one enthusiast decided to refresh the combat system.
Modder fellanmorgh has proposed several changes for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt to make the battles consistent with the lore (description from Andrzej Sapkowski's books). The steel sword is proposed to be used against humans, beasts, draconids, and humanoid monsters. While the silver sword is intended for "supernatural enemies," such as cursed creatures or vampires.
The developer noted: "to simulate fighting supernatural creatures and to account for the fact that silver is not as strong as steel, a durability threshold has been added" (upon reaching a certain % of durability, silver will not cause harm).
Oils can be applied to any sword, and now if automatic sword sheathing is enabled, Geralt automatically draws the correct sword. Health bars have been adjusted for each category of monsters to reflect the sword that should be used against them.
The "Wolf Path Lore-Friendly combat against monsters" modification for The Witcher 3 is distributed for free via Nexus Mods.
