Not all of the developers' ideas made it into the release version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. However, fans found unfinished content in the files that helped restore it. This resulted in the Brothers In Arms project, which includes not only content but also various fixes.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remaster was recently released, and modders have adapted Brothers In Arms for it — the mod fixes over 5 thousand bugs and brings back content:
- 145 documents and books.
- 48 glossary entries.
- 190 quest log entries.
- 8 item descriptions.
- 123 NPCs — this category includes characters related to gameplay, those who simply appear in the world, as well as full-fledged NPCs with unique names and dialogues.
- Over 800 lines of dialogue and some cutscenes have been restored.
Effects have also been fixed, for example, this is what the blood effect on Geralt looks like without the mod and with Brothers In Arms installed:
Modders said that their project includes “thousands of fixes” for NPCs and objects that could fall through the ground, float above it, or collide with other objects. They also eliminated errors that “could ruin your immersion in the game or even break it in very rare cases.
The “Brothers In Arms - Ultimate Edition” modification is distributed for free via Nexus Mods. It is compatible with both The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remaster and the next-gen version of the game.
Currently, CD Projekt RED itself is actively releasing patches for the game: the first updates for the PC version and consoles have already been released with fixes for technical problems and graphical bugs.
