Our colleague, and one of the most dedicated modders, known among the community as Flash, has just released a huge update for his biggest mod to the first Witcher game. It’s called Full Combat Rebalance 1.5 and as stated by its title, it changes almost everything about the combat system. FCR is Flash’s second go at The Witcher’s combat and judging by his previous work called Flash Mod, you can expect only the finest. If you were thinking about replaying our first game and were seeking for a new challenge, look no further. You can download FCR Mod here. We also encourage everyone to discuss FCR in its official thread on our message boards.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in our Halloween competition. As always, our community went above and beyond the call of duty and literally flooded our inbox with loads and loads of pictures of great costumes. It was really tough to pick the winners, so we decided to reward 4 of the best contestants. Each one of you will be receiving a bag of Witcher goodies from us. Click on the names to see pictures:

Emilie as Triss

Yuikami as a female version of Vernon Roche

Axel as a minstrel teasing a Blue Stripes’ War Dog

Michał as Egan/Auckes

You have to admit that these costumes are pretty impressive. Just a quick glance at those pictures is enough to see how much time and preparations went into creating those amazing outfits. Once again, congratulations!
