PROLOGUE The Witcher games have always had exceptional atmosphere but I personally feel the Witcher 3 kinda dropped this ball really hard. Like Novigrad, Velen was hit pretty hard after the downgrade and it felt like all the atmosphere it might have had was simply drained. Unshaded grass, yellow putrid foliage, too much blue smoky fog and the lighting had this sorta ugly haziness too it which was off putting. It didn't feel right.
I wanted Velen to feel like a depraved medieval landscape torn by war and strife.

The mod's primary aim was to mix low fantasy with moody atmospherics. As it is, it's still unfinished with mostly clear weathers and rainy weather.
