So I just read this book on history of games called "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

As for mods:

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project Arguably one of the best reworks ever.

Realistic Weather

Phoenix Lighting

They just drive home the "cold wilderness" vibe.

Then Better Combat Enhanced Because that's one of the main critque points of this game.

And some more

And for DLC, i was especially impressed with "Blood and Wine" sidequests.

About helping sane monstersThere will be a point where your actions will be judged.

Mods make this game better. I didn't like inventory management and the equipment repair mechanics in this game, so I modded those things out. Fall damage also sucks, so I modded that as well, Geralt is a witcher, he should be able to stick a landing from 10m up.
