Am I the only one that avoids Gwent altogether when playing Witcher? Like, I don’t go to that world to play cards, if I’m loading it up it’s cause it’s swords and magic time.

I play it exclusively for the Gwent

Difficulty: story only
Cutscenes: skipped
Gwent Difficulty: hard

Optimal.

I do not understand this at all… but I respect it.

I didn't enjoy it very much. Which was surprising to people. I just really preferred to faff about and investigate things and die to things I was not suppose to say hello to yet.

Witcher 3 became a Gwent sim. I loved it.

I hated it at first. Then I got pretty good at it and realized that I still hated it.

Me too man. I never got good at it either, it felt pretty random to me the few times I played. Maybe it would be good if you spent time building decks, but I don't care enough to do that.

Overall it's just an annoyance that's forced on you two or three times.

Yeah I’m glad it’s not a vital part of the experience but don’t mind that it’s there for people who like it. Kind of like card games in real life. :)
