I hope modders bring back the dice poker from Witcher 1. It adds so much to the atmosphere and immersion. I have accepted the fact that it isn't in Witcher 3 though, as sad as I am about it. I'm sure their reasoning behind it was that it was just too random and most people just reloaded until they won anyways. Let's compare it to five card draw poker. You have Ace, 2-10, Jack, Queen, King. Your starting hand is 2,3,4,5 and 5. You would need an Ace for the straight. There are 4 in the deck out of 52 cards. Now, In a full card deck, a pair of 5's is very very low. In dice poker, your starting roll is 2,3,4,5 and 5. You need only roll a 1.

My understanding from poking around in the games files that the audio is stored in .FSB files, and you'd have to crack those open and replace the desired music file with a modded one. Now, I have hunted up and down and all around trying to figure this out, and a lot of info seems to be lost to time and 404s. I've downloaded multiple versions of FMOD Designer, but couldn't find the apparent 'right' one, FMOD 4.32.04. And even so, I'm not entirely sure how I'd even go about creating a new/altered .FSB file with the software. I've managed to figure out how to unpack the .FSB files, but not how to pack them back up successfully. I've heard of something called fsbankex.exe which apparently people have used, but no luck on finding that particular executable myself.
I know for a fact that modding this game's audio isn't impossible. At least one mod exists on Nexus that replaces the heartbeat sound effect for the Cat potion with a silent file, and the download is a .FSB, so the guy who did that must have had a way to alter those files. Does anyone here have any experience modding this game and especially its audio? I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

- This is my ultimate Witcher save file that follows the neutral/witcher path. The save file can be imported into the Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings.
- This is the original The Witcher game, the Enhanced Edition, to be precise. This is the first game in the Witcher trilogy, made and released by CD Projekt RE.

Witcher 1's Dice Poker Music - posted in The Witcher 2 Mod Requests: On the very slim chance that anyone is reading this or if anyone is knowledgeable enough to do this, I am in a desperate rut trying to figure out how to mod The Witcher 2 to play The Witcher 1s Dice Poker music during that particular minigame.
