Category: General - various fixes and improvements meant to imporve Geralt's (and player's) life quality.

  • Fixed "Cemetaur Contract" not given to quest giver on completion.
  • Fixed "Bloedzuiger Contract" not given to quest giver on completion.
  • Fixed "Bruxa Contract" not given to quest giver on completion.
  • Fixed "Garkain Contract" not given to quest giver on completion.
  • Fixed "Wraith Contract" not given to quest giver on completion.
  • Restored Ard'aenye sword in the game. Find it on the ground in the Cloister of the Order after returning from Grand Master's vision. The purpose for it is so you can import it into your Witcher 2 game (it's only one of four steels swords accepted by the game). I was thinking about making it available earlier during Witcher 1, but sword seems too OP.
  • Carmen will now give "Werewolf fur" after completing "Beauty and the Beast" quest. This enbles an alternate way to make "Werewolf's Wrath" potion (the only other option being killing Vincent, the werewolf).
  • Ramsmeat will now give "Yellow meteorite ore" if you prove him innocent, previously only obtainable if you kill him. This will in turn let Geralt craft "Yellow meteorite sword" at the beginning of Chapter V, if he found all other ores by that point.
  • Gramps gives "Azoth" if spared. Reward wasn't working because of an incorrect npc reference in the quest.
  • Improved item stacking. To reduce constantly cluttered inventory, most items will now stack to 100 (alchemy ingredients to 1000). Delete this file if you prefer a different item stacking mod.
  • Added storage to Zahin Schmartz in Chapter V. Not having access to storage in Chapter V is one of the biggest oversights by developers. The good old dentist will now take care of this need from now on. There are already multiple mods on Nexus that adds storage to Zahin, but many people are reporting them not working, so this version definitely works.
  • Can now loot "Berengar's Medallion" from his body after Azar Javed fight. No real gameplay purpose besides immersion and having a memento of one of the last Wolf School witchers.
  • Fixed The New Narakort Inn innkeeper not removing wyvern meat from Geralt's inventory or sometimes removing more than 3 pieces upon completion of "The Wyvern Contract".
  • "Bottled water" can now be sold to merchants who buy food and drink.
  • "Salamander brooches" can now be sold to merchants who buy unique items.
  • Fixed not being able to sell "Cockatrice feathers", "Stones of Ys", "Death Dust", "Shimmering Dust", "Shadow Dust" and "Bruxa blood".
  • Fixed "Kikimore claw" having wrong item classification, because of which, it's selling price was incorrect.
  • Fixed "Bloedzuiger blood" having wrong icon in journal.
  • Increased Geralt's movement speed by 30%.
  • Fixed Geralt's movement speed randomly changing each time reloading the game or changing region.
  • Decreased the amount of orens innkeeper in New Narakort Inn asks for gossiping (from 233 to 100 per gossip).
  • Fixed Zahin paying Geralt 50 orens even if he says he will pay 25 orens for the beast fangs during "Won't Hurt a Bit" quest.
  • Fixed "The Bruxa Contract" saying you need 3 vials of blood when, in fact, you need 6.
  • During "A Mysterious Tower" quest you can now only get one of the required books - "The Secret Gates" from Vivaldi, to get the second book - "Ain Soph Aur" you will have to go to swamp, like all the people and journal entries indicate.
  • Fixed Grandma's items spawning in multiple containers in Shani's house in Chapter III.
  • Gave keys in the game unique names and descriptions to better tell them apart. [English only]
  • Cleared redundant quest items at the end of Chapter I to de-clutter the quest items tab.
  • Cleared redundant quest items at the end of Chapter II to de-clutter the quest items tab.
  • Cleared redundant quest items at the end of Chapter III to de-clutter the quest items tab.
  • Cleared redundant quest items at the end of Chapter V to de-clutter the quest items tab.
  • Fixed Ramsmeat's key not being quest item, so you could previously lose it.

-Complimentary Mods-
For an even better experience I highly recommend installing these mods alongside Project Mersey:
Missing Kalkstein and Leuvaarden Clues Fix - Fixes broken clues, so you can finish "Suspect: Kalkstein" and "Suspect: Leuvaarden" quests through investigation. Absolute must have.
Han Gives Han NOT Berbercane - Self explanatory.
Morenn Storage and Romance Fix - Fixes a bug related to Morenn romance and adds swamp storage access.

-Installation-
Download the archive, extract the folders "Override" and "modules" and drop them into your The Witcher\Data folder. You will be asked to overwrite a file in the "modules" folder, confirm. Backup the "modules" folder first, to be safe, otherwise you will need to verify the integrity of game files if you ever wish to uninstall this mod. Warning: Do not backup module files in the game folder, otherwise the game will fail to load properly.

This mod will work best if you start a fresh game. Most of the fixes will work on an existing save game, if loaded from before the bug happens.
.qst (quest files) fixes will only work in a new game, unless you use the Save Game Editor and swap the bugged file with my fixed file. You still need to load the game from before the quest is assigned.

-Uninstallation-
Delete the ProjectMersey folder.
