  "account": "Fans of The Witcher 3 rejoice, as the remaster process has managed to keep the beloved low-polygon pigeons intact. While CD Projekt Red has made numerous graphics improvements throughout the game, the low-detail pigeon remains a constant presence in the game. A Reddit post brought attention to the issue, but it appears that the devs have decided to keep the low-poly version of the bird for the ground-dwelling variety. The remaster features different pigeon models for those in flight and those on the ground, making the low-polygon pigeon even more endearing with enhanced lighting. Some players were initially worried about a change to the pigeons, but it seems that the beloved creature has survived the remaster unscathed.",
