Alternative looks for characters in The Witcher 3

CD Projekt Red/ Dexerto

The Witcher series has always had the feature to customize your character, but the The Witcher 3 doubles down on this feature allowing you to customize NPCs around you like Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, and Dandelion.

With the next-gen update, the game takes visual personalization to the next level. You can access a ton of alternate outfits that dramatically change the appearance of several major characters. These include sleek, modernized designs and new costumes inspired by The Witcher TV show.

If you’re curious about these alternate skins or want to learn how to unlock them, our comprehensive guide covers it all.

Alternative appearance for characters in The Witcher 3

Nilfgaardian armor

While the Netflix Witcher series’ portrayal of the Nilfgaardian armor set may have proven divisive, the developers have added it to the game. It may not be a fan favorite but for those that wish to mix and shake things up on a new playthrough, the option to do so is there.

Yennefer

Yennefer has ditched the trousers and instead sported a black cloak, which has been contrasted by green feathers and a dark teal top. The brown leather waistcoat and black scarf have also been added to help round off the outfit.

Dandelion

The Witcher 3 next-gen update has added Dandelion’s Netflix outfit.

As part of The Witcher 3 next-gen update, the developers have added an alternative Dandelion appearance that can be equipped. The new outfit switches Dandelion’s purple ensemble out for the green tunic worn by Jaskier/Dandelion in the Netflix show.

If that wasn’t enough, Dandelion’s face and hairstyle have been changed to one that is closer to how he was portrayed in the Netflix production. So, if you wish to Toss a Coin to your Witcher, then be sure to equip this skin.

Ciri

Ciri’s alternate look gives her some added armor.

The alternate look for Ciri is an outfit that was inspired by the latest fashion in Zerrikania. Ciri sports a chainmail vest and ornate shoulder pads with a unique golden pattern.

This look is a little more extravagant and certainly befitting of the princess of Cintra and time-traveling Witcher.

Triss

The Triss alternate skin sees the mage where an elegant robe.

Triss Merigold’s alternative appearance in The Witcher 3 sees the fiery mage adorned in an elegant green and gold robe, which features a tree branch pattern that flows from top to bottom.
