Hailed for its immersive open world, enticing narrative breadth, and refined combat system that placed it among the best RPG games, one criticism of the Witcher 3 has cropped up time and again. Where's the snowboarding at? In a world as diverse as that of The Continent, you can't seriously expect one of the planet's most-loved extreme sport to not get a look in. A new mod finally corrects this grave cultural and artistic oversight.
Geralt VGX Snowboarder, created by modder Feregorn, takes the Witcher's thrill-seeking to new heights, adding a snowboard for Geralt to shred down the mountainside. More magic than physics-abiding apparatus, the snowboard allows players to zoom down any incline while building up some pretty radical speeds. And you can do so in the style of a medieval alpinist wearing pretty nifty snow goggles.
The snowboard isn't just a tool for transport. Equip the board as a weapon and it will replace Geralt's swords, useful for dealing with any pesky bandits that might insult your chic aesthetic. Just ignore the piercing sounds and stabbing animations - it must be a very sharp board.
