For some odd reason I cannot endorse this. It just keep saying I cannot and that is that, so have at least my post.

That's surprisingly fine for photoshopped textures (I can be wrong of course, if that's your doing, that's even better), looks like completely new ones. Abigail card in similar fashion (dressed - much better) will be beyond imagination. I think it will be fine to reject her offer for "good" witcher (and thus not receive the card), but get her later in the game, after the Beast fight if she survives or in Chapter IV (if I've made no mistake) just for nothing.
You know, I just winded up with Abigail no matter what kind of Witcher I've played. Even with complete anti-human witcher, he just decided that he hates villagers more instead of me and maked me pick that option instead of siding with villagers despite ME planned to practicate in some "burn the witch" fun (villagers would be more useful as a cannon fooder for the Beast). And she somehow survived the Beast on highest difficulty despite me did not care about her well-being at all.
Of course that kind of Witcher won't be turned off by cult stuff. These damn humans deserved it. Consider being EVIL as an act of supreme rebellion in this world of grey. OK motivation for "good" Witcher as well. He may deside that she joined the cult out of desperation, not from real malice.
Telling her to stay away from the trouble and avoid casting any spells would be nice too. She does not pack any real help to leveled and prepared Witcher (that healing does not help at all for such a char), so telling her to stay out of the Beast fray and stick to her alchemical stuff is completely logical. Besides, story-wise she is an alchemist, quite a humble one, not a healer.
I'm not requesting anything if you think so, that's just a random idea.
Witcher 1 is so much better game comparing to 2 and 3. Combat, elixirs... Witcher 1 Geralt-witcher can be completely different to book Geralt-witcher. Even develop complete black-and-white morality instead of grey-and-grey and behave like a high fantasy hero from ingame stories. Witcher 2 and especially 3 FORCES you to play like Geralt by Sapkovski. You cannot even reject your former memories and personality taken by Wild Hunt. That was THE choice I wanted to make the most - REJECT my former personalily. I already have new one, orders of magnitude better that book Geralt, completely not of this world (like Saskia from Witcher 2 for example) Even if it means clashing with Wild Hunt once again and completely suicidal fight. He will do EVERYTHING to reject his former personality.
Ability to play a top-shelf high fantasy hero in this totally unsuitable world is exactly what made W1 so appealing to me so long ago. This can get extremely tough. Your hero should decide what's REAL good and evil, right and wrong or any other morality system if you don't like these.
Imagine Geralt turning himself into a top tier high fantasy hero or villain and rejecting his former memories and personality completely, turning down Triss and Yen (both manipulative w-itches to say the least). His former memories and personality were taken by Wild Hunt btw. He somehow escaped, but not in one piece. The most unfair fight could be not even against Wild Hunt but against his former himself.
He had never reclaimed both in W1, instead starting from scratch and developing new ones. One of the main reasons of his rapid progress in all chosen areas (not "remembering"). His memories and personality are like newborn child, but mental and physical abilities are like adult and far beyond (especially physical). Thus, his progress in just about any area will be ultrafast. Everything is damn interesting, new and exciting, he's not bored of life like an adult of his age.
Why the fvck bother with a new persona if we got former back in W3? And forced to play like Geralt from books in 2. Wouldn't that slow his progress down?
Yep, Witcher 2 and 3 have some unavoidable erotic scenes and stuff, but I don't feel like Triss and especially Yen. There are some much better NPC if you into it (not Shani, mind you). W1 has too if you take certain routes, I think the possibility to reject them all and have NO CARDS AT ALL would be just plain great. Do something just because, not because of their "charms" and plain reject a "reward". I'd like "Chaste Geralt" option. Let's do roleplay, not cartoonish sex scenes.
The most important, Witcher 1 leaves blanks for your imagination while W2 and W2 not, loads and loads of them. Even if you fully explore some NPC backstories, there will be TONS of ambiguous stuff that you can interpret how you like it and from your character perspective (he even can be damn wrong). Not ANYTHING like this in W2 and W3. Every NPC in W2 and W3 is pretty much unambiguous, no room for imaginaton at all. Indeed, we have cool cartoonish sex scenes.
The only scene in W2 and W3 totally worth is Philippa's torture. Extremely unsetting despite me seeing only screams and the result. Especially cruel because she cannot even regrow eyes like Yen (I think Yen is the only person who can get her new eyes or help doing so, and the irony that Yen will never do so because Philippa betrayed her badly once like damn EVERYONE who had dealings with her. I think her ramblings about a crystal is wack, she badly lacks expertise in this area like Vilgefortz and no one is willing to give that knowlenge to her because of her betrayal infamy). She's offensive magic and polymorph specialist, not some damn regenerator capable of reshaping herself like Yen. I dare say that this was THE only scene making it worth playing W2 and W3 at all. Nothing even REMOTELY the same in W3. I even dare say that was the only scene in W2/W3 that leaves blanks for player's imagination, the main reason it's awesome, not because of the torture.
Yep, W3 is better in combat and elixirs than W2, but still my main complaint remains the same.
No NPC in W2 in W3 even comes close to humble alchemist/evil cultist Abigail in the terms of ambiguity. Every damn character.
Can you please just make a compiled version or atleast connecting links to the mod pages of all your retextured characters they are all great looking and its a pain searching throughh all the mods to make sure I didnt miss anything
