Tired of those very immersion-breaking scenes when Roach teleports from nowhere to just somewhere close to Geralt? The mod fixes this.

1. During prologue (White Orchard):
- Geralt can only call Roach if she is within range to hear the whistle.

2. After Vizima: 
- Story: During their farewell at Vizima Royal Palace, Yennefer offered to teleport Geralt to Velen, but Geralt refused and insisted to ride his horse to start the journey. So Yennefer slipped an enchanted bracelet along with a note into Geralt's pocket. With this magical bracelet (lore friendly, similar to Kelpie's: see here), wherever Geralt is, he can summon Roach to him by opening a portal nearby after whistling.
- Gameplay: First read Yennefer's note about the bracelet. Then as long as it is in inventory, when whistling, a portal opens and Roach emerges from it. The portal will alert nearby NPCs and if Geralt is near to any guards, they will be upset (similar to other offensive moves like casting signs). The bracelet can be transferred to the stash, in this case, the horse won't be teleported through a portal, and it can't be called if it's far away from Geralt. And the mod can be turned off via the DLC toggle, in this case, all behavior will be reverted to vanilla.

3. Extra changes:
- During "Destination: Skellige" quest, Roach won't appear automatically after Geralt has landed on the shores of Ard Skellig. (for immersion, Geralt didn't take Roach with him on the ship).
- Shortened the spawn distance between Roach and Geralt, which makes it more convenient to mount.
Other similar cases may be added in the future if anyone found them and report to me.

Install to the game's main folder. And merge the scripts.
The mod is fully compatible with Brothers In Arms Bug Fix mod. And you should give priority to this mod over BIA (if used).

Following languages are included in the mod, all others will be in English by default.
