2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Ghost Mode

What do you do, when a game so near to perfection only falls short of the coveted title due to a series of obtuse and/or poorly-balanced intricacies? Do you navigate your way to the nearest social media outlet and commence the complaints, or decide not to waste time and make the desired changes yourself?

Modder wghost81 chose to pursue the second route in order to remedy their personal hangups with The Witcher 3, a quest that ultimately ended up yielding results that many Geralt lovers had been looking for.

Rather than make any unnecessary aesthetic, performance or combat changes, Ghost Mode goes through all of the underlying progression systems in CD Projekt's threequel with a fine-toothed comb to make Geralt's adventure feel infinitely more rewarding.

A fairer, more consistent distribution of experience, re-written tooltips and an overhauled in-game economy are all improvements made by the sweep, bringing a much more prevalent sense of consistency to the Northern Kingdoms. Download the mod for yourself here, just beware that pre-existing saves may struggle to adapt to the new rules.

In other words, you now have the perfect excuse to start Geralt's quest anew.
