I know him. Hell get confused, lost in his own philosophising and wallow in self-pity.
Hell vent his anger and hack at anyone and anything he comes across. Then, in expiation, hell do some grand but pointless deed. In the end hell be slain, stupidly and needlesly, with just a stab in the back... Yennefer of Vengerberg

Full Combat Rebalance 1.6

The Witcher mod
MANUAL
The FCR modification thoroughly changes the combat mechanics in the game. In this document you will find a list of every changed aspect of the game and answers to the majority of your questions. Reading the manual will help you understand the new rules that govern the game under FCR, so that you can play with more knowledge and less frustration.
1. Foreword
FCR is my second approach to the combat system of The Witcher after Flash Mod. Many people enjoyed Flash Mod, and it was such a big success that it was even included in The Witcher Platinum Edition. Still, the general tone and atmosphere of the combat in Flash Mod was the opposite of the tone and atmosphere of combat in the series of books on which The Witcher is based. FCR is an attempt to more closely match the lore of The Witcher Saga, though it is necessarily a compromise between realism and the limits of computer games. The Full Combat Rebalance project began in January 2009. After 5 months, the first beta appeared. Since then, with v1.5, 20 versions of the mod have been made available. I want every player to have as much fun as possible playing The Witcher, and I hope FCR will increase your fun. In addition to FCR, there are many mods made by others in the community that can add to your experience of the game, and I encourage you to check those out. Cheers Andrzej Flash Kwiatkowski 4
2. List of Changes
FCR is composed of many separate parts, each of which can be installed alone or in combination with any of the others. This means that you can choose to install whichever aspects of FCR you want, without having to take the whole package. If a certain aspect of the mod doesnt fit your taste, simply uncheck it in the installer.
2.1 Monster Ecosystem

Since version 1.5, FCR has the option of lowering of how often and how many monsters may occur. If you are fed up with the virtually unlimited numbers of drowners in the swamps, if you feel that higher vampires should be more rare but stronger, if you prefer hunting to constant battle, choose the Monster ecosystem option it is made for you.
2.1.1 Monster behaviour

With the ecosystem changed, new monster behaviours have been introduced to the mod. Monsters will no longer simply jump out through a stone floor, instead, they will walk around the location or feast upon their ill-fated victims. A hierarchy will be present among different species of monsters. Rational beings in most cases will cease to attack creatures stronger than they are. Instead of running unthinkingly to their doom, they will run for their lives. Creatures on top of the food chain may ignore or attack another monster, varying on what type of being it is. A cemetaur, for example, will ignore ghouls getting out of his way but it will attack a pestering, mindless drowner. It is also possible that a demonstration of strength will occur in the pack and the cemetaur will show who is the king of the necropolis. Yet another interesting behaviour is the one of wraiths, which roam the world unaware of mortals around them. Such beings will not attack us unless we attack them first. One should not mistake these kind of wraiths with the Wild Hunt.
2.1.2 Occurance
The Wicked - The most numerous group of monsters in the vanilla version of the game has become a rarity in FCR. Drowners are animated bodies of criminals dumped in waters not many of such bodies exist and the numbers of these do not grow day by day. Archespores, too, are uncommonly rare creatures but when they do appear, they, most often, appear in numbers. Such twisted beings do not respawn after being killed but there is a chance that not all of them will raise from their resting place at first contact. Necrophages They make the most numerous group of monsters now. After the war with Nilfgaard the amount of necrophages drastically increased. Ghouls now wander in groups of five to eleven with one or two alghouls leading the pack. After killing off the group, areas abundant in food soon are taken by another pack. Graveirs and cemetaurs, although much more populous than before the war, are but a small portion of the whole of the population of necrophages. Graveirs and cemetaurs are not fond of each other and tend to hunt on their own. Devourers occur in few places but strong in number. They hunt in groups known as sabbaths counting thirteen witches. Cemetaurs and devourers do not respawn. Vampires They are very rare now. The least frequently occurring opponent in the game but also the most demanding. Normally they hunt alone but cases of joining in small groups are also noted. They feel aversion to necrophages so, in most cases, they chase them away their territories. They function as bosses and do not respawn. Insectoids They can be encountered in few locations. Kikimore workers occur very numerously near the nest, sometimes guarded by kikimore warrior. Until killing the queen, kikimore will respawn from time to time. Giant centipedes occur rarely and do not respawn. Ornithosaurs They are territorial animals. They live and hunt on their own, however they tend to join in pairs in some periods. Ornithosaurs will attack every intruder of body mass not bigger than their own who enters their territory. 6

2.2 Vitality
Every characters statistics have been completely recalculated. The new statistics are based on brand-new formulas, ones which depend on a completely different set of assumptions.
Enemy Type Witchers Mutants Human Elves Dwarves Specters Vampires Ornitoreptiles Monsters Insectoids Necrophages Animals Base HP 40 40 15 10 25 25 40 30 25 40 40 15 Additional HP per level (Endurance + 2) / 2 Endurance / 2 Endurance / 2 Endurance / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 (Endurance + 2) / 2 Endurance Range 1 to 5 4 to 5 1 to 5 1 to 5 2 to 5 5 to 7 5 to 8 4 to 7 4 to 8 6 to 8 5 to 8 3
Each character has been assigned a certain level of Experience and Endurance, and Vitality Points were calculated based on these levels. I have taken note of the average experience level that players have when they begin and end each chapter. In any given chapter, the enemies experience levels are set to be within the range of levels that the average player will have for that chapter. Notice that increasing Strength no longer augments a characters Vitality; instead, increasing Strength adds to the damage characters do in combat.
2.3 Inborn Vitality Regeneration

Vampires now have the ability to regenerate Vitality Points. Vampires natural regeneration is equal to their Endurance level per second, and necrophages regenerate half of their Endurance level per second. Other monster types have minimal regeneration, an amount that has a very small impact on combat. Humans, elves, dwarves, ornithosaurs and animals do not possess natural health regeneration.
2.4 Hit Chance and Damage Points

In the books on which The Witcher was based, the only person who has ever beaten Geralt in a one-on-one fight was Vilgefortz of Roggaveen, a Master of Magic. Aside from him, there is no human who is a match for Geralt in melee combat. To make the game more closely match this reality, in FCR the hit chance of human enemies has been drastically decreased. In a duel with Geralt, humans have a very slight chance to hit the White Wolf successfully. The strength of these opponents comes from their numbers and tactics. No warrior, no matter how skilled and how well trained, has eyes in the back of his head. This is why enemies attacking Geralt from the side and from the back get a +50% bonus to their hit chance. When using FCR, you can not just stand still and whack things. You need to move constantly, and under no circumstances should you allow yourself to be surrounded. If you allow an enemy to get behind you, you will almost certainly be seriously wounded. In an attempt to make FCR even more realistic, the damage Geralt deals has been set to a level that allows him to kill a human opponent in 2 - 3 hits, while 2 - 6 hits will suffice for most monsters. What allows enemies to last for more than a second in the face of Geralts sword is not Vitality Points but armour and regeneration. This is why it is crucial to use the appropriate oils and fighting styles, to maximize your armor penetration.
2.5 NPC Armour System

On her white dress, slightly above her left breast, a red stain was visible beneath a slash no longer than a little finger. The witcher ground his teeth the cut, which should have sundered the beast in two, had been nothing but a scratch.
A Grain of Truth (Danusia Stok) Fighting a Bruxa
Armours are assigned to each character individually based on the model. It means that each NPC will have the exact armour type we can see they have, and they will not receive an armour type shared by default by many other kinds of opponents.

2.6 Difficulty Level

FCR offers 6 levels of difficulty, 3 per package available to choose during the installation process. The easier difficulty level allows anyone to play the game in a stress-free way, virtually without using any alchemy, while the hardest difficulty level makes the game even a bigger challenge than in the previous versions of the mod. Difficulty levels in the Easy package: Casual aimed at players uninterested in combat. Seldom will it be neccessary to use sword oils but, normally, fights will be won almost automatically. Geralt starts with 200 Vitality Points and receives a +10 damage bonus. Easy using oils in clashing with monsters is required, although we can be sure that a fight will not have to be repeated if a serious negligence of any kind happens. Geralt starts with 120 Vitality Points and receives +5 damage bonus. Medium a little less forgiving than the Easy difficulty level. Geralt starts with 80 Vitality Points. Difficulty levels in the Hard package with strenghtened monsters: High a vast array of alchemical means is required, although a hefty supply of Vitality Points makes a relatively stress-free fight possible. Geralt starts with 80 Vitality Points. Hardcore it is intended for experienced players knowing optimal character development and using all of the means available for the witcher. Geralt starts with 60 Vitality Points. Witcher requires creativity and a very good knowledge of mod mechanics. Playing on the Witcher difficulty level is unforgiving. Only for players who miss the times when fighting bosses were repeated at least 10 times. Geralt starts with 40 Vitality Points. 11
2.7 Alchemy
Using alchemy is much more important in FCR than it was in the vanilla version of the game. The Witchers steel and silver will not do much harm to monsters without the addition of certain oils. Moreover, drinking potions drastically increases your chances of survival and also prevents exhaustion from prolonged battles.
2.7.1 Oils
Every witcher should have a supply of oils targeted to the monsters that one expects to meet. The tough skin of vampires and necrophages - in addition to their extraordinary regeneration - forces witchers to use every means possible. In extreme situations, ancient vampires can heal their wounds a second after they are exposed to Geralts blade. Wraiths, being non-material, are a special case. To hit through the mysterious wall separating the world of the living from the world of the dead, it is necessary to pour Specter Oil on the blade. Only then will it be possible to hit the wraith successfully.
Weapon Modificators Specter Oil Necrophage Oil Vampire Oil Insectoid Oil Ornithosaur Oil Argentia Whetstone Grindstone Diamond Dust Temporary Rune Vodon Temporary Rune Svarog Temporary Rune Perun Damage Bonus 20 10 10 30% 1 2 4 25% 30% 40% Armour Penetration 40% 40% Critical Hit +5% +5%
12
2.7.2 Potions
On higher difficulty levels, you should use potions for every fight. Blizzard is an especially important potion, which considerably decreases the chance of being hit. The Swallow and Tawny Owl potions are also extremely useful. Although their regeneration rates were reduced, they are still essential, not because they allow Geralt to survive one fight but because they make it possible for him to tackle the next one. Without the Swallow potion, the White Wolf would survive a single fight, but he would probably be barely alive at the beginning of the next one.
2.7.3 Toxicity
One of the more frequent questions concerning game mechanics on the official The Witcher forum is about the consequences of a high toxicity level. Many guesses have been made about the possible penalties to Geralts statistics. Among all the guesses, one was missing - potion overdose does not cause any penalties to any statistic. FCR repairs this oversight and introduces overdose consequences.
Potion overdose - decreases damage dealt and the chance to dodge and parry by 25%.
Serious potion poisoning - decreases damage dealt and the chance to dodge and parry by 50%. Moreover, it results in degeneration of Vitality by 0,5 points per second and Energy by 1 point per second. Degeneration of Vitality may end with Geralts death. In case of overdosing, you should immediately detoxify, either by drinking the White Honey potion or by meditating.

2.8 Character Advancement

The skill tree known from the vanilla version of the game has gone through serious modifications. Particular Attributes now give new bonuses, Signs work a bit differently, the Axii Sign has been replaced by the Heliotrop Sign described in The Witcher Saga, and fighting styles relate to the new enemy armour system. The number of talents granted each level has been decreased, which forces players to specialize.
2.8.1 Witcher Signs

Yrden - a magic symbol drawn on the ground; touching it causes critical effects and damage. Highly recommended for use on wraiths. Quen - a shield that absorbs physical attacks. Reduces damage, decreases the enemys hit chance, and provides resistance to physical effects. Igni - an extremely useful sign, even on the lower levels. It allows attacking from a distance, without exposing yourself to potential damage. Heliotrop - a barrier that protects Geralt from all non-physical attacks. The barrier reduces damage and provides resistance to critical effects. Aard - has a chance of exposing the enemy to a finishing move; it is possible to use it to eliminate three opponents at once. The Heliotrop Sign has replaced the Axii Sign, which is the least used among players. Out of all the Signs in the game, including Heliotrop, Axii was the Sign that was the furthest from the Sagas lore. In the story A Grain of Truth, Geralt used the Axii Sign to calm his horse, and even this did not work completely. In the game, Geralt can make meek and mild allies out of higher vampires. The Heliotrop Sign may not be all that useful in the game, but when choosing between two rarely used Signs, FCR errs on the side of sticking closely to the lore. 14
2.8.2 Fighting styles

Strong - used mainly in fighting unarmoured opponents. It is useful for fighting monsters where a lot of strength is needed to pierce their tough skin and mounds of flesh. Fast - used in fighting armoured opponents. When the body is protected by steel, scales or chitin armour, strength does not matter anymore. The fast style consists of quick, precise hits aimed at unprotected spots. Group - used as a defensive fighting style. In case of being surrounded, a series of sweepy cuts discourages enemies from attacking you and even causes them to move away to a safe distance.
2.8.3 Attributes
Strength - it is responsible for damage dealt in melee combat, fist fighting and other offensive skills. Contrary to the vanilla version, the number of Vitality Points and defensive skills do not depend on this attribute. Dexterity - it is responsible for the chance of dodging and parrying enemy attacks. It also influences defensive skills and the chance for a critical hit. It does not affect resistances to critical effects. Endurance - it is responsible for the number of Vitality Points, resistances to critical effects, and regeneration rate. It does not influence the number of Energy Points. Inteligence - it is responsible for the number of Energy Points, Sign intensity, and skills connected with alchemy and Places of Power.

2.8.4 Night vision

Can you see it? repeated Nivellen, baring his fangs I can Who are you?
I dont understand .
You dont understand? The monster raised his head; his eyes shone like a cats. My portrait is hung beyond the candlelight. I can see it, but Im not human.
A Grain of Truth (Danusia Stok) Nivellen talking to Geralt.
One of the element of training a witcher is The Trial of the Grasses. A seven days long process of Changes, leaving only two out of five boys alive on average, ensures the superhuman skills of witchers. On the seventh day of the lethargy, the surviving boys awake.
The male awoke and opened his eyes, and his eyes were as those of a viper...
Blood of Elves (Danusia Stok) In FCR Geralt receives an innate ability of seeing in the dark as a skill typical of witchers. The night vision no longer has the controversial fish eye effect, and the light lightening locations has changed its colour from blue to white.
16
2.8.5 Experience points

Experience points given for defeating enemies have been balanced adequately according to the threat an enemy poses. The vanilla version of The Witcher rewarded us in a chaotic manner, giving, for example, 300 EXP for a Greater Brother, one of the stronger opponents in the game, which appears in Act V, but 750 EXP for a cockatrice, an average enemy from Act III.
Threat Low Medium High Serious Critical Fatal Boss Experience Points 50 100 150 300 500 1000 5000
2.8.6 Skill Tree

A good deal of talents has been added to the skill tree, whereas talents whose functions repeated themselves have been deleted. The improvements of the skill branches now offer much more worthwhile bonuses. The impression as if some of the talents were divided into smaller ones, or forced to existence so the number of talents is equal, is now gone.

This prevents the inexplicable punishment of the player for choosing a positive solution to the Beauty and the Beast quest. + As a mild hallucinogen White Gull potion now allows entering meditation state. - The bug with kikimores being hugely oversensitive to magic damage has been fixed. - The bug with Order hounds being sensitive to silver has been fixed. - The bug with the devourers wrong race (vampire) has been fixed. - The bug with permanent effects of oils on swords has been fixed. - The bug with spawning the Salamander Boss from Act 2 in Act 1 has been fixed. - Fixed an error in the description of Echoes of Yesterday quest phase. - Fixed a typo when putting a sephirah into an obelisk and during one of Grand Master visions. - Removed the crosswise stripe on the blade of Berengars sword. 41
- - + -
Each weapon cut leaves visible wounds on the character model. Blood stain size increased. A new sword with an unique model has been added to the game. Animations of some of Geralts attacks have been changed. The most interesting animations will come up much more often. - The texture of Harvalls hilt is now improved. It is now evenly covered with leather. - Bodies of defeated opponents disappear only after you leave the site, not when you turn your eyes away. + Every witcher has now vertical eye pupils (previously, only Geralt had them). - The effect of slowing down time has been eliminated from the Blizzard potion. Slowing down time for two hours, the duration of the potion, would be very arduous in playing the game (tested). - The effect of slowing down time has been added to fisstech. - The maximal levels of zoom in and zoom out in all camera types have been increased. - Echinopsae were replaced by archespores due to inconsistency with Saga. Echinopsae parameters in most cases remain unchanched. - Damage depends on the weapon, the strength attribute and the fighting style as in most RPG games. Previously, damage was fixed to a particular attack move, and weapons and other talents only made the damage higher in percentage terms. - Precise hit has been removed and replaced by the new mechanism of critical hit. Critical hit is available as a 5th level upgrade of the Dexterity skill tree. - Monsters now have resistances corresponding to their type. - The kikimore queen, Dagon and the headhunter can now be beaten in a fair fight. - The armours and accuracy of NPCs have been assigned according to their character model. - Food and drinks now ensure a small, but long-lasting regeneration bonus. - Dodge now works differently in fist fighting - dodge will reduce the damage taken by 5 and theres also a chance, which is equal the sum of dodge bonuses from Dexterity and potion effects, of completely avoiding an attack. - All armours now have all the slots for potions and additional weapons unlocked. - The price of talents has been changed - levels 1-3 of the main skill trees require silver talents, levels 4 and 5 require gold talents, while all improvements in the main trees require bronze talents. 42

Vampires will not announce their arrival with scream and snarl anymore. Salamandra mages use a new ability called Protect, which has a similar effect to the Quen Sign. The critical effect of bleeding triggers an animation of pain (before, there was none). It prevents players from using that gap in the game mechanics. Active dodges - like pirouettes, somersaults and rolls - add 100% chance to dodge. The chance of being poisoned by monsters has been increased. The duration of the critical effect of fear has been drastically reduced. The durations of critical effects triggered off by bombs have been drastically reduced. Enemies stunned with Samum bomb are not susceptible to finisher hit. Vesna Hood has been given high-class armour, which allows her to survive the Shes No Early Bird task. Unique named enemies are immune to knock-down and stun effects. Fist fighting has been made much more difficult. NPCs have been re-equipped. High-level opponents do not have average level weapons anymore. Bonuses from the Places of Power and focus stones have been adjusted to the new rules of the mod. The prices of whetstones and rune stones have been increased. Tradesmen buy weapons for 10% of their worth. The availability of meteorites in shops has been reduced, while the availability of runes in shops has been increased. The wealthier NPCs now play for higher stakes in dice poker. Weapon prices have been increased. Selling your old armour before buying a new one is now possible. Items marked as Witcher Secrets can no longer be sold. A reward in the form of a red meteorite is available in both storylines from the Prologue. A recipe for oil against vampires was added; it can be bought from Thaler in the second Act. Dol Blathanna rune sword and Berengars sword can now be acquired. Full compatibility with the Scabbard Mod and The Doppler Essence mods. Added compatibility with mod Stuff that make Geralts life easier. All the changes in the mod are reflected in the descriptions in the game, which are available in two languages: Polish and English. 43
4. A Few Tips on How to Fight

Injured opponents have a lower resistance to knock-down and fall effects. Before using the Aard Sign, it is worth it to work on an enemys health first. Its a good idea to use the first 2 - 3 silver talents on attributes that will increase your chance of survival. After that, it is good to develop skills like herbalism and making oils, which will make the game much easier. If you are not able to hit an opponent, it means the damage youre dealing is lower than the damage threshold of his armour. Use the appropriate oil for the opponent type in order to penetrate his armour. Remember that you do not have to wait for the animation of an attack to finish before you can move. If you are fighting with a few opponents at once, it is better to stop the attack halfway through and move to a safe place than to wait and expose yourself to blows from a couple of opponents at the same time. It is worth using different combinations of runes and meteorites when forging a sword. For example, a sword made from one red and two blue meteorites combines high damage and a bonus to parry. Opponents attacking from the side or the back get a +50% chance to hitting Geralt. You do not want to be surrounded! Before a difficult battle, use the Places of Power to empower your Signs.

Group Style can save your life in dangerous situations. Bonuses to parry work even when you are not attacking. Swords that are forged with an armour penetration bonus are perfect for hunting kikimores, ornithosaurs and knights. It is worth having a few swords for different occasions. Bombs are a reliable way of making a fight easier. Theyre reliable because they ignore the opponents resistance. A bomb will always work! In a fight, use the area around you. Withdrawing to a staircase while fighting in a building forces the opponents to stand in a queue. On the other hand, when fighting in an open space, running around stones and boughs can separate your opponents and allows you to attack them one by one. Always carry some White Honey in case of potion overdose or the need to detoxify after curing yourself with White Raffards Decoction. Blizzard is the number one potion in the ranking of a witchers favourite drinks. Active dodges - rolls, somersaults, and pirouettes - provide a +100% bonus to the chance to dodge. You do not have to attack everything that moves. Some of the monsters in the game do not have to be killed, so if you cannot handle one of the opponents, and the plot does not require defeating it, withdraw from the fight. When a fight with a tough opponent is prolonged, sometimes it is worth it to use different combat styles alternately in order to trigger off two critical effects - such as pain and bleeding. It is a good idea to cast Yrden Sign before the start of each battle. 45
5. Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Do I have to start a new game after installing the FCR?
Answer: Yes. After installing the mod, I strongly recommend that you start the game from the beginning or that you use saves from previous versions of the mod. Continuing the game using saves made without the modification may lead to errors in talents functioning.
Q: What are the main differences between Flash Mod and the FCR? I do not know which one to pick.
A: Flash Mod significantly increases the difficulty, but leaves the original game mechanics, whereas FCR is an overhaul of the talent and fighting system, which, apart from increasing the difficulty, also maximises the realism, while maintaining the gameplay at the highest standard at the same time. FCR is a set of completely new and original rules for The Witcher.
Q: Which of the two available mods - Flash Mod and FCR - is more difficult on the hardest level?
A: The hardest difficulty level in both of these mods is more or less the same. However, the FCR modification offers more elaborate mechanics and connections among features.
Q: Is winning a fight a matter of luck in this mod?

A: The FCR is based on a percentage chance to hit, triggering off critical effects etc., therefore you can say that victory depends on luck. The same thing is in The Witcher without the mod, also in Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale 1 and 2, Planescape: Torment, Fallout 1, 2 and 3, Star Wars: KotOR 1 and 2, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, and many, many more RPGs.
Q: Do the changes that the FCR introduces affect additional adventures?

A: Yes, but it is worth remembering that both Flash Mod and FCR were created with the main game in mind and have been tested with it. The modifications are not balanced in terms of difficulty level for the additional adventures, and it is possible that unforeseen errors might occur.
46
Q: Will the modification work after installing the 1.5 patch?

A: The modification works with the Extended Edition of The Witcher which means with a patch not older than 1.5 or 1.4.
Q: Is the new version of the mod compatible with saved games from the previous version?
A: For now all of the present and future (un)planned versions of the mod are compatible with each other. You can continue the game using saved games from the previous versions of the mod.
Q: Is it possible to install all the extras without increasing the level of difficulty? I would like to play the game in a laid-back kind of way.
A: Just as with Flash Mod, in the FCR you can install just the extras without changing the mechanics or difficulty level. All you need to do is tick off the FCR option in the installer.
Q: Where can I find the track that is played in the main menu of the game?
A: You can find it in the folder: The Witcher\DATA\z_FCR\music\menu.ogg
Q: I read that the mod adds a new sword. Where can I get it?
A: The sword is carried by a headhunter that comes after you if you kill the town guards. You can also buy it from the blacksmith in Act 4.
Q: I have properly installed the mod, and I still have the old descriptions of items.
A: The descriptions of the equipment that you already have are saved in the game status. This mod does not affect the saves; that is one of the reasons why you need to collect new items or start the game over. Remember, when using FCR, I recommend that you start a new game.
Q: Is it possible to install both the FCR and Flash Mod?

A: Both of these mods are mutually exclusive, and they will not work properly together.

6. Known Bugs
Sign power-ups cost a bronze talent, but you need to have at least one silver (or gold later) talent. Silver talents are not spent in learning the power-up. This bug is caused by the mod, but its source lies in the game. The modification does not have errors itself, and for now there is no solution for this problem. Sometimes Geralt and opponents have the tendency to die long before their Vitality drops to zero. This occurs during longer sessions with The Witcher without turning off the game, probably as a result of the computer running out of memory. If it happens you should restart the game. Sometimes while attacking an opponent, he can damage us without the attack animation. This is not a bug, only the game mechanics. In fact the opponents are carrying out an attack, but since Geralts animations have priority, Geralts animations cancel the opponents attack animations.
7. Uninstallation
There are two ways to uninstall this modification by starting up the unins00.exe file from The Witcher directory or from the Windows control panel.
