Adds book titled ‘A Miraculous Guide to Gwent’ which displays number of gwent cards missing from player’s base-game collection and information on where to find them, thus facilitating completion of achievement titled Collect ‘Em All. Tome in question can be obtained either from gwent playing scholar in Prologue or from merchant near St. Gregory’s Bridge in Gildorf district of Novigrad.
Adds option to display herb names above available interactions.
Adds option in Options/Gameplay to enable enemy level upscaling. If foes are too easy to defeat due to level difference, upscaling will render them a challenge. Change will not affect experience point gain, loot, or quest rewards. Option can be enabled or disabled at any time, even during combat (however, Vitality/Essence of foes is then fully restored).
Adds option in Options/Gameplay to disable automatic drawing and sheathing of sword.
Increases incidence of, and thus chances of finding, several monster-based ingredients required for crafting high level alchemy formulae.
Improves Player Statistics panel, adding maneuverable Geralt model. Improves visuals in panel for better readability.
Adds new functionality to books and scrolls. When first collected, they can be read immediately using single button without need of navigating to Inventory panel.

Improves overall visuals in Character Development panel.
