The Witcher 3 is getting a gentler way to play. Nintendo Life reports that a new accessibility preset called Bard's Ballad has been added to The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Remastered

CD Projekt Red's director of player experience, Karolina Niewęgłowska, explained that it bundles toggles such as removing item weight and durability and hiding herb icons on the map. Players can choose individual options or turn them all on

It is aimed at players with ADHD or cognitive fatigue, and at tired parents. Niewęgłowska said it is for anyone who wants to use it

The article focuses on the Switch 2 version, released on 29 September. PS5 and PC versions also exist, but the article does not confirm whether the mode is there too

The Witcher 3 is a huge game, and managing inventory weight and broken swords can feel like a chore when you only have an hour in the evening. Letting people strip that away makes the story and world more accessible. Calling it Bard's Ballad is a nice touch

Would you use a mode like this? And which games would benefit from less inventory management?

Skyrim needs this badly. I spend half my time over encumbered

Dropping cheese wheels on the floor gets old. Bethesda, take note
