The Witcher 3 Griffin Armour Dadbod Mod Already Works With the Remaster
A popular mod that slims down Geralt's bulky Griffin School armour set is compatible with The Witcher 3's recent remaster, along with several visual tweaks to the outfit.

The Witcher 3's Griffin School armour set is one of the earliest upgradable gear pieces players encounter, unlocked through relatively low-level treasure hunt quests. However, the armour is notorious for giving Geralt a pronounced paunch, creating what some describe as a dadbod silhouette.
The dadbod appearance remains in The Witcher 3's recent remaster. For players bothered by the visual, there is good news: a popular mod addressing the issue is already remaster-compatible.
The mod does more than simply slimming Geralt's chestpiece. It also fixes and tweaks several other visual features on the Griffin armour, neatening up the overall appearance. Despite these additional refinements, the primary draw appears to be undoing the dadbod effect entirely.
The Griffin School set remains a common choice for early-to-mid game play, making it likely many players will encounter the armour regardless of their preferred medium armour preferences. Those seeking the mod's adjustments can now use it without compatibility concerns on the remaster version.
