Trying The Witcher again…

[DArtagnan]

This time, I'll be playing in Hard mode…

Any recommended/must-have mods or similar?

If there's some way to expand the inventory, that'd be GREAT.

You can try the full combat rebalance (http://www.moddb.com/mods/full-combat-rebalance1).
Comes in two flavours and very difficult.

Yeah, I found that - but I'm unsure if I really want the game to be more difficult - since I just want to experience the story, and I'm playing on hard this time.

But thanks for the advice :)

You can try the mod for 1-2 hours.
Easy to install and easy to uninstall. :D

AFAIK the Enhanced Edition organizes the inventory and makes it easier to use than the original,I don't remember how exactly it worked but it shouldn't be that much of a hassle now.

There is a "Well Stacked Mod" which ups stackability of stackables to 999, however I couldn´t find standalone version compatible with EE anywhere, so
I think you´ll have to download the above mentioned Full Combat Rebalance for that - the mod is part of the package. FCR´s installer lets you choose what you want to install so you don´t have to install anything else from it, though checking "No Logo Movies" shouldn´t hurt :).

There´s also Alchemy Ingredients Icon Mod which makes alchemy a bit more hassle-free. Here´s a description: http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy_ingredient_icons_mod
Should be downloadable from here: http://tw1.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=9824.0

Other than these, I only used First Person Enabled Mod (http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=9696.0) cos I generally prefer first person view in these types of games. You can easily switch into TPP via mouse wheel for combat, though you don´t necessarily have to.
There´s a tiny drawback in it - after zone transition Geralt is facing down instead of straight ahead - which is easily solved by editing the mod´s only file in notepad. (change the part "4 TPP 5.0 140.0 0.0" into "4 TPP 5.0 140.0 -0.1").

All in all, I don´t think there are any real must haves for The Witcher, but these three certainly made my game more enjoyable.

Thanks for the detailed answer, and now I'll definitely be using FCR for the inventory mod.

The rest, I'll check out as well.

TW2 is looking mighty promising, so I simply MUST play this through :)
