The Witcher 3 Developer Creates Mod Restoring Original Design of Famous Location

Philipp Weber, a quest designer for The Witcher 3 and narrative director for The Witcher 4, has released a mod for the Blood and Wine expansion, created using the official REDkit tool. The mod alters the fairy tale land, which Geralt visits in the Beyond Hill and Dale quest.

Weber aimed to restore the location to the original vision intended by CD Projekt RED. The initial version of the fairy tale land was darker, as the creators were inspired by the stories of the Brothers Grimm. According to screenshots, the designer changed the lighting and added more vegetation.

When the quest was originally designed, there was a vision of making it a melancholic representation of the classic fairy tales from the Brother's Grimm set in a dying forest, illuminated by a setting sun. In the end, instead of a dying forest, we chose to make it a more vibrant fairy tale land, still showing more of the beauty the land originally had, when it was created for Syanna and her sister Anna Henrietta.
