The Witcher 3 Gets A Game-Changing Reputation System 9 Years Later Thanks To Fan

screenrant.com:

Nine years after it initially launched in 2015, received a brand-new reputation system via a mod. CD Projekt Red's RPG has no shortage of choices for the player, especially many that inform the stories of 's side quests, but it's lacking any sort of overarching morality or reputation system. One was seemingly cut from the game in development, however, and has now been restored thanks to a dedicated modder.

Nexus Mods user FreakVlp (via ) uploaded their Reputation System mod on July 18, 2024. According to its description, Reputation System "" Choices players make, and their behavior more broadly will now inform Geralt's reputation across five distinct regions with the mod installed. Acting chivalrous or nefarious in quests, certain activities, and while exploring will have a monetary impact on the player, raising or lowering buying and selling prices for vendors in each region.

A recently unearthed cutscene that was removed from The Witcher 3 demonstrates the lengths Yennefer will go when it comes to protecting Ciri.

The five regions where Geralt has individual reputations with the mod are as follows:

Locations

Temeria

White Orchard and Velen

Nilfgaard

Vizima and the Nilfgaardian army camp

Redania

Novigrad, Oxenfurt, and the surrounding environs across the Pontar River

Skellige

All areas in the Skellige Isles map

Toussaint

All areas in expansion

In each of the above regions, Geralt can become Hated, Disliked, Liked, or Respectable. Alternatively, he can remain Neutral, which is where the Witcher's reputation begins upon first entering any region.
