When The witcher 3 was first released in 2015, it quickly became clear that it was one of the greatest video games of all time. As its excellent expansions declined in the years to come, it only cemented the game’s reputation. But for all the highs, for all the playthroughs, there was a nagging low.
Throughout the saga you go through many horses, and they all get the same name – Roach – because Geralt loves each of his steeds equally. You spend hundreds
But you could never pet Roach. Could never push a button to let her know that, hey buddy, I appreciate everything you (and those who came and will come before you) have done for me. I hope this feels good. I may be a weird mutant human killing machine and you a horse, but we are friends
You can now! As part of the game’s recent next-gen update, you can now walk up to Roach, give him a little rub on his neck, and then give him a few friendly pats on the shoulder.
In addition to this important innovation in the game, Unfortunately, the next-gen update also came with a slew of bugs that make the game difficult for PC gamers. This is the bad news; The good news is that the update also contains a number of fan-made mods that have become a staple of the community over the yearslike The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project by HalkHogan, HD Monsters Reworked by Denroth, Immersive Real-time Cutscenes by teiji25, Nitpicker’s Patch by chuckcash, and World Map Fixes by Terg500.
