However, this was limited in what it could achieve, as you couldn’t make new constructs. The REDkit is a much larger undertaking; you’ve got a ton more freedom on what you can do. Modders can now create new regions, characters, animations, quests, items, and more.

There’s an endless number of things you could do with it, and the modding community is sure to come out with some unique stuff. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to revisit the game, just wait till someone comes out with some game-changing mods.

With unlimited modding access on the way, there’s no telling what kind of creativity we’re going to see emerge from the game’s community.

One player pointed out that, with the power of AI, people could clone voices from existing characters, and generate scripts and quests that are compatible with the lore, new textures, music, and more. Although, this idea feels like it could violate copyright in some way.
This plus AI…
Cloned voices, generated interesting lore compatible scripts and quests, generated textures, generated similar music…
Very interesting 🤔

Other users suggested great ideas like replacing Roach with Thomas the Tank Engine or replacing Geralt’s model with Shrek. Like, who doesn’t want either of those things?

If GOG version users don’t have access to the same mods that will be on Steam Workshop, which will likely be where most of the mods are, then this will be useless for GOG version owners.

One user complained that the GOG version of the game would become useless unless they were able to access mods that would be uploaded to the Steam Workshop. However, this isn’t too big a cause of concern. Where mods are uploaded is up to the modders, and typically, they tend to upload their mods in multiple places.
Even if you don’t have Steam Workshop access, you’ll likely find the mod of your choice on another website. Are you planning on making any mods withThe Witcher 3REDkit? Let us know in the comments below!
