Alternative appearance for characters in The Witcher 3

Dandelion

Dandelion in The Witcher 3.
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 in The Witcher 3
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.

Yennefer
