Great news, cowards: The Witcher 3’s most yellow-bellied mod works with the remaster
The Witcher 3’s Griffin School armour set, available early in the game, has gained notoriety among players for its distinctive visual design—specifically, how it renders protagonist Geralt with a notably rounded physique that some describe as a “dadbod” aesthetic. This visual characteristic persists in CD Projekt Red’s recent remaster of the game.
For players dissatisfied with this look, a mod that slims down Geralt’s appearance when wearing the Griffin armour is now fully compatible with the remaster version. The Griffin School set remains one of the earliest proper, upgradable armour sets available to players, making it a viable option for extended portions of the game. The mod allows players to maintain the armour’s functionality while altering its visual presentation.
The topic illustrates broader player preferences regarding character aesthetics and customization. The remaster’s compatibility with existing mods suggests CD Projekt Red maintained backward compatibility considerations in its development, allowing the mod community to support various player preferences without requiring developers to implement every possible aesthetic variant.
