Need Mod Suggestions to make Witcher 3 less grindy (beehaw.org)

Howdy! I'm going to play Witcher 3 again, I had fun with it for a little bit a few years ago but fell off. The main reason I fell off: the hardest difficulty was just... tedious.

I really enjoy the lethality of the difficulty, it felt like even basic monsters had to be respected, and I have to use every tool in my arsenal smartly to survive. What I didn't enjoy was the massively inflated health pools, especially when fighting bosses. It turned what should be a tense and skillful engagement into 10+ minutes of dodge, dodge, hit them for 0.5% of their HP, repeat.

I'd like to know if anyone has any mod recommendations to be able to keep the lethality and high stakes, but lower the HP so I don't fall asleep every combat. Thank you!

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can't recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!
