Witcher 3

I keep talking about how amazing and brilliant Witcher 3 is on other threads. I thought it was probably about time we had a dedicated Witcher thread (though I do like getting derailed and talking about other games too). So, who else is playing/has played/wants to play? Anyone else obsessed with Gwent? Triss or Yen? What big decisions have you made? I'm on my second play through, on game plus mode. I've got the first dlc pack but need to be a couple levels higher before I can play the new missions. I know some of you out there love it too, right?

There's a couple quests where you can play Gwent, and there are some Gwent specific quests too - helps to up your level and a wee bit more money. I didn't play at all on my first game (mainly cause dh kept banging on about it and I'm contrary) but I was in less of a rush to do stuff this time round so I gave it a try. I'm hooked. Once you start getting good cards it's easier, and it's totally addictive, trying to get all the cards so you've the best deck. I got really excited when I got my Geralt and Ciri cards. It's really tactical and it's fun. You can adjust the Gwent difficulty in the options menu as well - I only just found that out today! But it is totally optional, you can complete it without playing at all. I do like comparing tactics though!

Yay, I will come back and join you when I've progressed a bit!

Gwent flummoxed me the first time I played, but I will persevere. Is the purpose of Gwent just to up your cash? And I guess it's like a kind of side-game to the story?
