I Got Bored Waiting For The Witcher 4 So I Modded Geralt Into Skyrim

thegamer.com:

According to developer CD Projekt Red, the next Witcher game has left its "research phase" and entered pre-production. This is exciting news for fans of Andrej Sapkowski's dark fantasy world, but the reality is that we probably won't get to play it for a long, long time. The Witcher 3 took over three years to develop, and if this new game is grander in scale—which is more than likely—it could take even longer. It'll probably get delayed too.

Geralt of Rivia might not be in The Witcher 4. His story was wrapped up nicely at the end of Blood and Wine, and I feel like it's probably time for a new hero to step up. I'd personally love to see Geralt back in the saddle, but I'm doubtful. In the meantime, I felt the urge to hang out with him again. A Witcher 3 replay seemed like the obvious path, but with the 'next-gen' update not arriving till later this year, I felt I should resist the urge.

Then it struck me: what about Skyrim? This is a game with a huge, thriving mod scene. Surely someone has put Geralt in there by now. They must have. After a quick Google, and dragging some data files around, I find myself in the Winking Skeever pub in Solitude face to face with a gruff, cat-eyed monster slayer with two massive swords and a wolf medallion. He speaks to me and it's him. It's Geralt. With the proper voice and everything.

I love modders. They think of everything. I'm using a mod called Geralt of Rivia SSE Voiced Follower—an updated version of a mod by imAarwyn tweaked to be compatible with Skyrim Special Edition. This lets you recruit Geralt as a follower, with dialogue pulled from The Witcher 3. It's a surreal feeling walking into the Winking Skeever
