Best Witcher 3 face mods

Modding is an insanely popular activity in the gaming community. Although some might prefer to play games how they were designed by the developer, there’s no doubt that mods can keep things fun and interesting. How do you think Skyrim has managed to stay so relevant all these years? 

I believe that the Witcher 3 is a masterpiece. Would I still like to turn roach into a four-legged bulldozer? Absolutely. Here i’ve gathered a bunch of mods – don’t worry, nothing game breaking - you might like to try out, to make your tenth play through a little less dull. 

Deadpool’s mask

Deadpool is a beloved character in the Marvel universe. He was basically a witcher to begin with. Experimented on against his will, then gaining super powers that make him practically unkillable; who does that sound like? 

I wanted to start off the list with one of the sillier mods. Existing just for the kicks and giggles, the mod is supposed to be paired with ‘Deadpool’s suit’. For those who can’t get enough of the masked crusader.

  • Now you’re a mercenary and a monster hunter.
  • You wont have to stare at Geralt’s ugly mug all day.

High Quality faces 

In computer graphics, Level of Detail (LOD) affects the visual quality of objects in a video game. When designing larger levels or entire worlds, the developers are often limited by the hardware their game will be played on, hence objects that are far away are rendered with fewer polygons than objects that are closer.

Instead of retexturing characters, this mod increases the LOD of faces and draw distance of the eyes by ten times of the original game without any noticeable performance hits.

Why ‘high quality faces’ is fun?

  • It will make your experience truly immersive as there won’t be significant changes in detail when characters enter the foreground. 
  • You’ll have the drop on your enemies as you’ll be able to spot them from further away.
  • It’ll make NPC’s look a lot better from a distance. Go stand in the middle of Novigrad and test it out.

New Hairstyles and Beards For Geralt (DLC2 Improved)

Barber shops are a place for gossip, social interaction and public discourse. So, walk right in and partake in the culture as the barber takes care of all your grooming needs. The mod adds nineteen hairstyles and twelve beards to your game. A great option for returning players looking to liven up their game.

Ancient Leshen Holiday mod

 

Leshens in the Witcher 3 are ancient and powerful forest spirits. They are described as creatures that live only to kill. Perhaps one of the scariest enemies in the game, leshens have an air of something deeply unsettling shrouding them. Now imagine them a bit more christmas-y. The mod gives the now, not so terrifying beast, reindeer antlers, christmas lights and a wreath.

  • Without the scary leshens on the loose, you’re free to explore the world at your leisure. 
  • Everybody loves Christmas.

Geralt doppler reborn

Geralt goes face to face with dopplers during the contract ‘Skellige’s most wanted’ and ‘an elusive thief’. According to the bestiary, they are hideous creatures who can shape shift into anyone or any beast that they’ve encountered. 

Can you imagine what shenanigans Geralt would get up to with these powers? Well now you can find out using this mod.

Why ‘Geralt doppler reborn’ is fun?

  • Visiting Novigrad’s brothels may get even more interesting. 
  • You could become the world’s first female witcher (sorry Ciri).

Real Witcher Eyes – Geralt 

The eyes of a witcher are fascinating, almost similar to a cat’s and allowing them to see in the dark. Although the Witcher 3 is considered an RPG, it offers relatively little control over Geralt’s story or appearance and rightfully so. However, this mod allows your version of Geralt to feel more unique by bringing you several lore friendly eye customisation options.

Why ‘Real Witcher Eyes – Geralt’ is fun?

  • More player customisation options are never a bad thing. It is a major element to giving games longevity.
  • Geralt’s face gets a much needed breath of fresh air. You’ll be stuck staring into his eyes every cutscene. 
  • Do you remember the Penance stare? Geralt wont actually be able to induce self-mortification but you can make him look like he does.

Young Geralt 

Witchers live for a really long time, yet none of them die of old age. So, it might not be the worst thing to get stuck looking like a younger and prettier version of yourself. just a simple but authentic texture mod that also allows you to add or remove Geralt’s scars and tattoos.

Why ‘Young Geralt’ is fun? 

  • Geralt’s ruggedness may be part of his charm, but if you’re looking for something a bit easier on the eyes, voila!
  • Geralt now kind of resembles Leon Kennedy. So, if you’re a fan of Resident Evil, you’re in luck.
  • You get to look like an absolute chad.

Bad Wolf

Geralt has always been a bit of a bad boy, well now he looks like one. Say goodbye to the ashen hair and unleash the big bad wolf. The mod recolours the hair, beard and face. I personally love the new look; it makes him seem broodier than ever before.

Why ‘Bad Wolf’ is fun?

  • Overhauls the characters look, making the cut scenes and interactions more enjoyable.
  • Geralt won’t have to hear any more Gandalf jokes. 
  • You get to be the heartthrob of Novigrad.

Anya Chalotra Netflix Yennefer

Yennefer is one of the most popular characters in the Witcher franchise. If you’d prefer your true love – no, that is not up fro debate – to have the face of Anya Chalotra’s, this is the mod for you. 

Cast as Yennefer in Netflix’s Witcher series, her success was bound to spill over to the Witcher 3. Putting aside some controversial writing decisions regarding the character, Anya’s performance was absolutely phenomenal.

Why ‘Anya Chalotra Netflix Yennefer’ is fun?

  • Its Anya Chalotra. Do I need to say more?

Game Lore Henry Cavill Retexture

Henry Cavill was born to play the role of Geralt. Thankfully we have mods that can plaster his face over in-game Geralt’s, so you can be moody and self-deprecating while looking prettier. 

It manages to capture the Witcher 3’s art style pretty well. Even including the iconic striga scar across his eye.

Why ‘Game Lore Henry Cavill Retexture’ is fun?

  • You get to play the Butcher of Blaviken as superman. 
  • It might make up for how the show’s wasting Cavill’s potential. 
  • Pairs swimmingly with the Anya Chalotra Netflix Yennefer mod.
