“I made it in 2014 and it took some time.” The Witcher 3 developer has revealed that he was behind a hilarious snippet of Geralt dialogue that can only be obtained by suffering an embarrassing death after grabbing the mod.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent a lot of time playing The Witcher 3 over the years, to the point where I feel like I know the game inside out. However, since one of the game’s developers has just revealed that he’s behind some slightly edited Geralt dialogue that I’ve never encountered before, that would require activating a specific mode in a specific scene.

Yeah, leave it to the modders to shamelessly resurrect what CDPR created. But in the end they decided not to include it in the final version of the game for some reason like boat racing and give us all a chance to see how it has changed. If our adventure was successful. In this case, that last part is just a laugh.

As YouTuber xLetalis highlights in a recent video, one of the pieces of cut content that the massive ‘Brothers in Arms’ mod for the game’s restoration offers is a slightly alternate outcome of a quest that sees Geralt and Yen attend Kaer’s feast. Trollde shortly after arriving in Skellige.

If you recall, you’ll recall that this quest involves breaking into the quarters of Ermion, the most druid of the island, and that one of the traps along the way is a room filled with hallucinogens that Geralt must fight through. A few teddy bears. In the base game you either successfully kill them all, or suffer the usual game over screen if they do the same to you, but with the mod installed, it adds back a third option that’s pretty fun.

Basically, when you’re half-depleted of health, instead of actually dying, a cutscene plays where a prone Geralt tells Yen that he can’t get up, adding in his usual, wonderfully deadpan tone, “I’m dead. They killed me.” Bring him back to normal and the cutscene continues normally. xLetalis speculated why CD Projekt might have removed this, but the good news is that we now at least know who started it.

“Ah, I’m glad I found it.” Developer Paweł Sasko, who is currently working as game director on the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, tweeted about the video, saying, “I made it in 2014, so it took a while.” But in terms of details, I think it was. So Sasko seems to like the idea that people don’t know why this stupid little gag doesn’t make it on Gerry from the River’s 60+ hour stand-up tour. .
