The Witcher 3 Mod Puts the Game in First-Person View

gamerant.com:

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is proving yet once more that it is, in fact, a timeless classic. This time, the reason it's being brought back up to relevancy is the release of an entirely new first-person perspective mod, possibly the best the game's had yet.

Specifically, the so-called Gervant First Person mod for The Witcher 3 allows players to fully immerse themselves into the role of Geralt of Rivia. Featuring a wide array of quality-of-life features and a simple perspective switcher, Gervant is the perfect option for players that wish to replay Wild Hunt but might not have the excuse to do so.

According to the mod's creator, Gervant's sole focus was always to deliver a fully-playable Geralt from a first-person perspective, revitalizing the game's core combat loop along the way, a niche that many other combat mods for The Witcher 3 already tackle. The focus is on Geralt himself, specifically, because the mod's implementation of first-person Ciri isn't ideal, and the official recommendation is to switch to a third-person perspective for her gameplay sequences.

Designed primarily for a mouse and keyboard control scheme, Gervant First Person implements major changes to how the game plays. Combat rolls, for one, are outright removed (though optionally available) due to motion sickness concerns, and knockdown has been changed to stagger. Similarly, there's no more inertia to Geralt's movement, allowing players to switch direction at the drop of a dime. At the same time, however, some of the mod's features can exacerbate existing problems, such as The Witcher 3's Roach tilting into the ground.

Still, the final result is a surprisingly polished gameplay
