So I just read this book on history of games called "Blood, Sweat and Pixels" and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a try. Got any advice for me?

PLAY GWENT. The minigame became somewhat notorious because it's really good - you can spend dozens of hours travelling the world and just playing cards.

I have done literally zero Gwent quests after the first match and even googled one time how to remove quests because they were annoying in the journal (you can't)

Yooo, Triple Triad anyone?

I mean do you really have to suggest him that? He’s gonna get hooked like we all did

In any case W3 gwent is actually kinda crap in terms of balance but that just means you can own them super hard at some point

Is it common for people to save scum or is that blasphemy?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

It's your game you do as you please. I would definitely save scum

I only save scummed the Gwent tournament as it's a one-shot type deal. The rest of the game there was no need as it autosaves frequently and there is basically no consequences to losing a game of Gwent to a rando

If I have played someone a bunch or am on a quest then definitely. Otherwise I try to keep it like live cards. Remember you can always cheat IRL too! It’s up to you if/when/where

I've literally got a save file prepped where I rushed getting to B&W before doing literally anything else so I can play the whole games's Gwent with the Skellige deck when I decide to play it again. You don't get enough time with it and it's such a fun deck!

I didn’t finish the game because I am still playing gwent haha it’s that good. I would look up which cards you can only get from quests because you can’t get them afterwards. Just look up a mapping for quests to cards (no spoilers of course). I am on mobile and can’t find one currently
