Overview:

Spectre is a full game overhaul that aims to strengthen the core aspects of The Witcher 3 without straying too far from the original design choices. It fully incorporates most of the features found in Ghost Mode and bonds them with the existing FCR3 changes found in the next gen version of the game as much as possible, but reworked in a smarter way that allows for a better merging and management experience, as well as incorporating additional bugfixes and QoL improvements. 

Aside from Ghost Mode, Spectre also incorporates an alchemy system similar to the standalone Alchemy mod, but also reworked and modified to some degree internally, though much of the design concepts remain the same. 

For details on Ghost Mode and Alchemy, please visit both of their respective pages:

Special Notes:
- Spectre requires commitment and is not recommended to be installed or uninstalled without starting a new game.
- Spectre was primarily created to be used in conjunction with the Eternal Hunt: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/8449

Compatibility:

Spectre was primarily designed to be used in conjunction with the Eternal Hunt, and as such EH will be the only mod that I will actively make compatible with changes to Spectre and vice versa. While it is highly recommended to use this mod along with EH, Spectre is fully independent on its own without the need of any other dependencies. 

With special thanks to Lewis Elementary, Spectre contains BiA changes within its files. Make sure Spectre has priority.

In regards to UI mods, make sure to merge scripts and set their priority over Spectre in most cases. 

Since Spectre is a full game overhaul, please be mindful to what you attempt to merge into the mod itself.
