oh, and for some reason i loved witcher 3, but hated witcher 2. I tried many times to play witcher 2, but it just never worked out for me.

Brilliant! There has to be!!There's one in 'The Walking Dead' Telltale game as well. A sign saying 'Everton & Schulz' at the garage near to where the train is hanging off the bridge (episode 3 I think)
Maybe a fellow blue working at Telltale ?

Just started playing the Witcher 3 yesterday.
Well i kind of lost interest in the start because i had to turn it off by a certain point and it all struck me as tutorially. will have to go back to it.
One question, whats with the card game? Really didnt get how it worked. So once they pass i just put a higher number down than they have and i win? Rinse and repeat?

I was the same, stick with it, steep curve initially then it becomes ace.
On the cards, basically thats right but you have 3 rounds and only limited cards, once you play them they are gone so going big on the first round means you fall short later. Build your deck through purchasing before you have to take on anyone good and the method I used was to bleed out my weaker cards in the first round lulling the computer to play to win, then use your good cards against them in the following 2 rounds.

I'm ace at Gwent and I love it as much as the main game itself so I'll chime in.
Essentially you play the opponent. Pay attention to the deck they have. E.g if it's nilfgaard, then they'll probably have loads of spy cards (which let them draw more cards). So you'll want to use your own and some decoy cards to claim theirs in the first round.
But yeah, it's best out of 3. The trick is that sometimes surrendering a round is the smart thing to do. If you go all guns blazing determined to win at all costs then you may win a round but have no cards left to win the 2nd round like you need to. That's why I mentioned nilfgaard decks. They generally surrender the first round to just accumulate more cards for the next 2. Whereas Monster decks will usually go all guns blazing for the first round.
Other than some special cards and abilities, you don't draw more than the 10 you have at the beginning. So just try and use the minimum necessary to win a round, keeping in mind that you have another round to win. You can challenge almost every major npc and trader, innkeeper etc to a game. Winning rewards you with a card. The Gwent questlines give great cards as rewards also.
It's worth getting to understand it as it's probably the best game within a game I've ever played. It's easy to understand and you'll get the hang of it after a few rounds. But the Ai is really good and human like so it will provide a fun and sometimes challenging extra thing to do throughout the game

Out of curiosity, do you you have to play that little game? Does it give you any boosts or what not?

Aye i will probably stick with it, not seen anything i dont like so far. I was like that with dragon age though, just didn't get into it. It was more the time restraint i had that made me think i could put it down for the time being.

haha cheers mate, i think i will refer back to this quite a bit when i finally get going in the game! I loved the card game in FF8 so i can imagine as long as it doesn't get too wierd i will enjoy this as well.

@ijjysmith it's completely optional though at points in the story you can wager a Gwent game to resolve conflicts or settle feuds. Or sometimes get an advantage in some small way. The quests reward you with the usual stuff and like the fistfighting quests are worth doing just to get you used to the mechanics.
@Ashtonian the great thing about it is that there aren't a crazy amount of cards or rules. The core mechanic is just playing your opponent: guessing what they'll do or reading their patterns to know where when you can get two wins out of three in, and when you should surrender a round.

Theres a quest in blood and wine where you get high on mushrooms and he starts talkimg to you. True story.

No problem. Though I'd still recommend it for a few games to see if it changes your mind.

One of the best quests in the game that I hinted at earlier. They even acknowledge that a lot of people think he's awkward to control with some great dialogue. Won't spoil it for anyone though as it's just a brilliant quest.
