About This Mod

This mod restores five carved perks (yellow branch skills). Like all other perks in the game, these skills have only 1 level that can be gained, and do not require spending a certain number of ability points to unlock. If you have my Restored Content mod - Yellow Mutagens, these skills will synergize with yellow mutagens, as will the vanilla yellow skills. The fifth line of the yellow skill tree has been left empty, so these skills can be added without any compatibility issues causing redswf file edits!



Background


Four of these skills were originally planned to be included in the Hearts of Stone expansion, and one skill was cut from the base game. A skill cut from the base game, Predatory Instinct, is actually fully realized in the game. It just needed to be removed from the definition xml file and switched to a more appropriate icon, and it was ready to go. The four skills cut from Hearts of Stone have a weirder story shared with me by Flipper444. It turns out HoS should have had 10 extra skills, but they've been reduced to five. One of them returned to Blood and Wine, but the others were lost. Strings revealing their existence and functionality could be found in patch 1.10, but they were soon removed. Two of the cut-out perks had the entire code removed from the game's scripts, while the other two had only vague mentions. The latter two also have icons in their Blood and Wine files, indicating that the CDPR may have attempted to bring them back there, but did not. In any case, I had to reimplement them with my own code, which fortunately worked well.
