Four switchable combat stances for Geralt — Witcher, Feline, Bear and Griffin — each with unique speed, damage, defence, dodging and sign trade-offs. Includes controller/keyboard switching, stance emblems, presets and fully customisable in-game settings.
Witcher, Feline, Bear and Griffin each change the feel of combat through different combinations of attack speed, damage, defence, movement, dodging, signs and bombs.
The aim is not to replace The Witcher 3's combat system, but to give Geralt different fighting styles for different situations. Each stance also has its own emblem and visual identity when selected.
THE FOUR STANCES
Witcher - Balanced and versatile Close to vanilla combat, but slightly more deliberate, with occasional flourishes and pirouettes.
Feline - Fast, agile and aggressive Faster swordplay, quicker dodges and rolls, and more frequent spins and pirouettes. The trade-off is lower sword damage and weaker defence.
Bear - Slow, heavy and defensive Slower movement and swordplay, harder-hitting attacks and stronger frontal defence. Heavy attacks are especially useful against shielded enemies and can create stronger staggers. Stamina still matters, and powerful enemy attacks can still stagger Geralt.
Griffin - Tactical and signs-focused Sword speed stays close to vanilla, but sword damage is reduced. Dodging and rolling remain quick, while signs and bombs become more effective.
I really loved the different combat stances / fighting styles in Witcher 1.
They derpified everything in the sequels.

Forgot about W1 combat, was the first game I bought on Steam
I started a new playthrough because I've forgotten a lot of the story and quests in my old age and 11 years later this game is still awesome.
Seeing the characters and hearing the soundtrack again after all this time is very nice and fighting big, high level monsters on Death March difficulty really makes you feel like a witcher
Yeah I'm barely holding on not to play again for the nth time just till the expansion is out. I mean Crimson Desert keeps me busy but this...what a timeless masterpiece. Definitely in top 3 games of all time in my book.
Triss/Yenefer choice is not a choice if you read the books, which was always an issue for me. I've made a multiple playthroughs and could never choose Triss over Yen. It always felt wrong
But I can see how someone only familiar with the games can think completely oposite.
