NG+ 100LV bug

[crua9]

For those of you that doesn't know, when you use NG+, it levels all the NPCs to your level at min. This means if you were to be level 100, then the lowest NPC you will deal with is 101. Since you have a cap of 100, this means you will be out of luck since you could easily face 130 later in the game.
I looked up a way to fix this since you can't lower your level with a command. The only way to kinda fix this is with mods. This is what I'm using
https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2593

What this does is it allows you to set all the NPC to at least 30 below you at most (and it goes the other way if you want).


It should be noted that this is a well talked about flaw in the game, and it makes the replay value null with a used file after a few times.
Anyways, I hope this helps others.

It was patched. You will now only face enemies at the most a few over the 100 mark (not sure offhand exactly what) but there will be nothing red skull level so definitely nothing 130 as you mention.
Also when you mention replay value you can't continue the same file a few times, NG+ does not stack so no NG++. You will reach 100 in NG+ with both expansions but without mods you can't play that game again. Of course if you mod it so you can do NG++ etc then you will also need to mod it to raise the level cap.

+1 to Furiey, is was a bug until they patched it. Now 105 is the cap level for enemies. Even if you are 100 level highest lvl enemies will be 105.

I seen red skulls while I was lvl 100. Also if you make your person 101 or more, quest items don't work. Some of the modders mention this, but I never tested that out.

I seen some 106. But after getting killed after 1 or 2 wacks from something (I don't know what the level was). I said screw that and looked for a way to lower the NPC level.


One of the things I kinda wish they did is allow us to keep the items (with taking the lvl require off of them), keep everything we learn, but reset the lvl to 0.

You can't make "your person" 101 or more without using mods so if you do you should expect things to break. If that's the case then I'm not surprised that you need more mods to fix it again. That's just a risk of using mods.

You need those mods to be able reach higher level than 100:

But still max enemy lvl will be 105...

You already mention that. I was just telling you from what is being said, quest items are said to break after 101. So ....

that isn't an option when your person is lvl 100.

Thanks, I might try that out.
