About this mod

Adds/restores Boat Races to the game with the entire original CDPR's script.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
The mod restores the original CDPR's idea of Boat Races. They were planned during the development of the game, but cut from the final version. With the release of REDkit, 100% of the boat race script was found in the game files, which allowed for the restoration process to begin. Only the text and audio files were found, the rest was created from scratch based on CDPR's writing and careful examining of the files. Which means that all the conversations, characters, notices and journal entries featured in the mod were originally written by CDPR, but re-created and brought to life by me using REDkit.

The mod is fully translated in all 17 languages and includes full audio dubbing from original voice actors for English, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Polish and Russian localizations. No AI is used in this mod.

This mod is for the Next-Gen version of the game.

There are 4 races (Regattas) in the game now:
Novigrad Regatta - Start from the Novigrad Harbor notice board.
Oxenfurt Regatta - Start from the Oxenfurt notice board.
Helmsman's Dash - Start from the Kaer Trolde village notice board.
Rally of the Wrecks - Start from Holmstein's notice board, but the races take place on Faroe.

You can also go directly to the start location skipping the notice boards if you know where they are and speak with the race master/mistress.



Plans for the future:
Random routes for each race.
Repeatable races.
