Sailing around in a little boat and occasionally sinking because you couldn't be bothered to get up and kill the sirens trying to break it apart is a key part of what makes exploration - or just commuting between missions - in The Witcher 3 a blast. Though, if you've ever thought Geralt could do with a vessel that could safely store all the drowner heads he keeps in his saddle bags, a new mod will let you have a go at sailing a full-size ship.
Yep, this is another one of those pet projects that the game's REDkit modding tools have made possible, and far from the first maritime-based one, with another mod having restored the game's cut boat races back in July.
TrickArrant's 'Sail Big Ship' not only boasts one of the best 'does what it says on the tin' names on Nexus Mods, it lets Gerry from the Rivia climb aboard pilotable versions of those big frigates that sit in the harbours of places like Novigrad as static objects in the base game. You'll just have to park your immersion at the door a bit, since, in its own creator's words, it boasts "quite a bit of jank".
