Witcher 3 dev's new mod lets you experience an alternative version of Blood and Wine's most memorable quest

You there. You like The Witcher 3 right? Well, it got some fresh modding tools last month, and, thanks to one CD Projekt developer's desire to try them out, you can now experience a bit of an alternative version of one of the most iconic quests from the excellent Blood and Wine DLC.

Even if you haven't take a trip to Toussaint in a while, odds are you'll definitely remember 'Beyond Hill and Dale': while you do have to pick a specific ending to the expansion's great main story in order to play through it, it's pretty hard to forget a mission that transports you into a fairytale-inspired magical realm.

The new REDkit suite is based on the actual tools that CD Projekt RED themselves sued to create one of the best RPGs, and will let folks make a much wider range of mods.
