Everything Geralt can carry in The Witcher 3 sits in one inventory: steel and silver swords, armor in three weight classes, potions and bombs, the diagrams and components they are crafted from, and the food, dyes and trophies on top.

The Witcher 3 bestiary sorts every monster into a class, from necrophages and specters to relicts, draconids and vampires, and that class decides which oil belongs on the silver sword. Each creature has its own attacks, weaknesses and the trophy and loot it leaves behind.

• Cursed One 3 monsters
• Draconid 8 monsters
• Elementa 9 monsters
• Human 2 monsters
• Hybrid 7 monsters
• Insectoid 9 monsters

The Witcher 3 runs on main quests, side quests, witcher contracts and treasure hunts spread across White Orchard, Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, Kaer Morhen and Toussaint. Contracts pay crowns for hunting one named monster, treasure hunts lead to gear diagrams, and the choices made in the main story decide which ending Geralt reaches.

• White Orchard 15 quests
• Velen / No Man's Land 84 quests
• Novigrad 101 quests
• Skellige 87 quests
• Kaer Morhen 18 quests
• Toussaint 82 quests

Every marked location in The Witcher 3 sits on one of the game worlds: Velen and Novigrad, Skellige, Toussaint, Kaer Morhen and White Orchard. Places of Power grant a free ability point the first time each one is used, and a monster nest has to be burned with a bomb before it stops respawning.

• Velen and Novigrad 1,748 locations
• Skellige 904 locations
• Toussaint 929 locations
• Kaer Morhen 249 locations
• White Orchard 119 locations

The remaster reworked Witcher 3 skills into four proper trees: swordsmanship, signs, alchemy and the general perks, each twenty skills deep, with every skill opened by the ones it connects to. Only the abilities placed in a slot actually do anything, mutagens in the matching colour amplify a whole group, and the Blood and Wine mutations sit on top of all of it.

• Swords 20 skills
• Signs 20 skills
• Alchemy 20 skills
• General 20 skills

Geralt's path through The Witcher 3 crosses sorceresses, kings, witchers and the Wild Hunt itself. Ciri, Yennefer, Triss and Emhyr shape how the story ends, while the rest of the cast runs the contracts, the shops and the Gwent tables of the Continent.

• Anna Strenger
• Avallac'h
• Bootblack
• Brewess
• Caranthir
• Cerys an Craite
• Cirilla

Gwent is the card game played in taverns across The Witcher 3, with decks built from the Northern Realms, Nilfgaard, Scoia'tael, Monsters and Skellige. Unit cards bring strength and abilities such as muster, spy and medic, while neutral heroes and weather cards swing a round outright. Innkeepers, merchants and quest givers hand out the cards.

• Monsters 40 cards
• Nilfgaard 34 cards
• Northern Realms 30 cards
• Skellige 29 cards
• Scoia'tael 28 cards
• Neutral 24 cards

The merchants of The Witcher 3 are the blacksmiths, armorers, herbalists and shopkeepers who craft gear, sell formulae and buy the junk Geralt hauls out of caves. Each one keeps its own stock and its own supply of crowns, and only the master craftsmen of Novigrad and Toussaint will forge grandmaster gear.

• Novigrad 20 merchants
• Skellige 7 merchants
• Toussaint 16 merchants
• Velen / No Man's Land 6 merchants
• White Orchard 4 merchants
