They recently released an update to Witcher 3. What did they ruin?
To my knowledge it's just a graphics update, not content. Not sure anything else was really changed from what I recall reading.
They put in the dogshit costumes from Netflix Witcher (Nilfgaardian soldier outfits). Not sure if that counts as ruining things, but the consensus I saw was "I switched back to the normal ones" or "how do I switch back to the normal ones?"
Does anyone have a list of all the changes? They mentioned quests as well, so I am a bit curious.
The biggest change for me is the game kept crashing. Different resolutions, changed all the settings to defaults, nothing helped.
It's both.

I know they announced it as a graphics update, but I don't trust these people not to introduce subversive elements to the game. It's clear the owners of the IP do not have any qualms about doing so.
Ruin is a bit of an exaggeration.
First off the update broke the pc version which annoyed people. A hotfix eventually happened but this is a years old game and while CDPR screwed up both the release for W3 and Cyberpunk 2077 those were at release. This was a release style fuck up like 7 years after the game came out.
Second there are various things added simply because they were in the Netflix show. The ballsack armour is one of them and calling it that is accurate as it was an intentional design choice by the showrunners to dress the Holy Roman Empire analogue in armour looking like a scrotum with a helmet looking like a dick because of the "patriarchy".
Third there are also various changes to existing content which ranges fixing long running issues regarding various quest rewards being utterly dogshit to adjusting gameplay balance that many normies are complaining about because they can't engorge themselves mid fight anymore to restore lost HP.
It doesn't seem like this update is worth the trouble. The same results could have been achieved with a mod, which wouldn't have forced regressive changes to the game. I'm going to guess there's no way to revert to an earlier version if I were to download the game right now?
