The Witcher 3 Remastered Is Making Geralt’s Life Much Easier

By Jaymo | Yesterday

Are you ready for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered? Because CDPR is adding a lot of new accessibility options that should make Geralt’s life (and yours) considerably easier. During one of the Red Stream during Gamescom, they showed us the new Accessibility section in the game’s settings. The options can be toggled individually, meaning you can pick and choose which ones you want to use. There is no obligation to pick any of the features, but if you want things to be a little bit easier, you can toggle one or more on.

Some of them are going to be very familiar to anyone who has ever played The Witcher 3, but there are a few quality-of-life mods installed.

Part of the interesting new options are:

  • Infinite Breath – No more worrying about running out of breath underwater or in poisonous gas and smoke.
  • Unlimited Item Durability – Geralt’s weapons and equipment will never degrade.
  • Unlimited Boat Durability – Your boats can apparently take all the punishment you throw at them.
  • Ignore Items’ Weight – No more constantly being slow because you picked up one too many swords.
  • Auto Loot Corpses – Enemies can be looted automatically instead of manually searching every corpse.
  • Vitality Regeneration Boost – Geralt’s health regeneration can also be adjusted, including both how much health he recovers and how quickly.

CD Projekt Red also said that using these options will not prevent you from earning Trophies or things like that. They are also completely optional, so if you would rather experience The Witcher 3 exactly as it was originally designed, you can simply leave them turned off.

For everyone else, though, being able to get rid of durability, inventory weight, and manual corpse looting is going to remove quite a bit of the game’s more tedious stuff. And let’s be honest, Unlimited Boat Durability might be the real game-changer for anyone who has spent hours around Skellige wondering how a perfectly good boat managed to fall apart after fighting approximately three sirens.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is coming on September 29, so you will be able to test these settings out in a few weeks!
