No they said it didn't make sense because the way Gwent works, once you have a good deck, you can't really lose.

Which is why I said it needs tweaking. As it stands once it have a good deck the game becomes pointless but they could tweak the game so it's more challenging.
Still say they have missed a trick.

Oh my God, I'm wrapping up some tough quests and found Gottfried's Omni-opening Grimoire. Are they really talking about what I think they're talking about? Freakin hilarious!
They've said that they admired Bethesda's "Talk lightly then explode" approach to Fallout 4. I think it's the same reason they said they won't really talk at length about Cyberpunk until 2017.

This guy borrowed this game from me, couldn't say no, and all I see him playing is The Division. I don't think I will see it again very soon, but hopefully before Blood and Wine drops.

Edit: Still don't get why the Triss Gwent card is so lackluster for a hero card...give her +1 to all melee or make it 10...never understood that.

You have more than few hours left, don't worry. You haven't even finished 1st chapter. 2nd and 3rd are shorter, though.
If you're trophy chasing you'll regret that. lol.
Finished Hearts of Stone, main game included racked up 120 hours all-in-all. Been chipping away at it here and there since last May, not really playing much else besides. Now I feel empty and my daily Blood and Wine google search isn't scratching the itch.
I'm reading the books, on the third right now, but need a new game to really sink my teeth into. I never got around to playing Dragon Age: Inquisition properly, will it hold up after my having played through this game.

Yea but there's another one that you fucked yourself out of much later in the game.
Beat the game tonight. 82 hours completion time. Hit level 35 
Only got 53% of gog.com achievements though. Hmm. edit: ah probably because I avoided Gwent all-together. Stupid game
what happened at the end for me:
Good lord, that game was really well made. I will probably purchase the expansion stuff now.

Ciri became a full-fledged witcher. Yennefer and Geralt banged into eternity and beyond. Cerys was a great queen of Skellige. Not sure what happened to Avallac'h though??

It's ok, I'm just playing for fun.

I enjoyed Inquisition quite a but but It would definitely pale in comparison if I played it for the first time now. Still, there's definitely some fun to be had in Inquisition if you avoid the endless map icons telling you to collect 7847 of this or 43548 of that.
I didn't even know that was an option, not that I'd do that anyway...but man.
I'm feeling super dumb, is there not a way to find out how long I've been playing this game on PS4?
right after you two have sex and then you go to the tower I picked the option to tell her she used me to clear the tower. Then I called her the forked tongue snake and she gets mad. Then I picked the option to take the scrolls by force and it's a fight to the death.

AFAIK the PS4 time counter has been broken since launch and never fixed.

The expansion stuff is even better.

What's broken about it? Go into the character screen and press R2 or R3 or something to display character stats and it's right there. Worked fine for me.

IIRC, it continues to count up while the console is in rest mode, so the time reported is often hugely overstated. I've not checked for whether this was fixed in the latest patch, but it was certainly an issue for my main playthrough.

And a nice trophy for that, BTW.
Back again with another grab bag of short videos. This game man...
One of the coolest slow mo finishers I've had in a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC7n4S4ksQE
This is what I was talking about in my earlier post. Poor low level bandits lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsJP8pBaFr0
and last but not least I'll leave you with a hilarious animation glitch I had. This lasted for a good while, even would happen to Roach but that part didn't save on my video.

I completed all side quests and contracts and only just got the trophy associated with level (35 I tbhink it is) but all the contracts and side quests are a lot of fun, I'd say deifnitely do them.
Ruthless_Barbarian

Absolutely, all the contracts and side-quests are amazing and should be experienced.
You can attempt them comfortably within a range of couple of levels.
Game is pretty overwhelming but it might actually be the best game I've ever played.
Main story wise I'm helping a guy find 20 tons of gold stolen from the sewers below his bathhouse. Up to now, everything has been eerily perfect - the pacing, the atmosphere, the narrative quality of even the most trivial side quests.
No filler, no fetch a thon. Holy crap I'm sure DA:I developers considered suicide after playing this masterpiece and comparing it to their turd of a game.
GOAT material, I'm addicted
In regards to swords, is it a good idea to go with swords that have higher damage or more attributes?. I currently the Devine Steel sword which has good sign boosts and armor piercing but im finding swords now that have like 50+ more damage but might not have so good attributes attached to them and not sure if raw damage is better than effects??
Also, im at level 30 now and just stumbled across the Superior Grapeshot bombs and the Zerrikanian saddlebag, was wondering what else is defiantly worth while searching for any other must have bits of kit that i really should have now to make life easier?
Also which enemies drop red mutagen or less red mutagen?

Going for the superior/exceptional oils for specific monsters is definitely worth it imo. Going from 10% bonus damage against humans or ghouls or whatever to 25% or 50% is a huge boost.
This is the thing, i havent really used oils a great deal, i always seem to forget what oil is needed for what monsters or even to apply the oil till ive almost beaten said enemy, its just a shame that you can assign oils to a shortcut button like the bombs and potions instead you have to go into the menu each time
Thats said have just found 'Superior Hanged Man's Venom' which is +25% attack power versus humans and nonhumans which sounds super useful!!?....or does this game not regard nonhumans as everything else bar humans?
Also is there a way to cease your potion effects?, for example the cat potion its great when your in darkness but when you go out side its a pain
EDIT: is there a glitch where a Gwent card you have won doesnt show up in your deck?. I just won Letho Of Gulet but when i went to play my next game he wasnt in my deck at all!?
You have to add the card to your playable deck. Pause and then Gwent menu.

White Honey removes potion effects I think
The rest mode clock bug is probably already fixed too. I leave my PS4 on rest all the time and it only says 13 hours of playtime.
My god, the sound design of this game is AMAZING. Love the free OST too!

From what I've read 'non-humans' refers to dwarves, elves and such.

That is correct.
Booo thats a shame!
Is there a way when your in a shop to see how many of the items you actual own so you dont buy duplicates?
Also whats the level cap for Geralt?, im at level 31 now and am only on tier 2 for alchemy, i really want to unlock the cluster bomb at tier 4, will i have enough points left to get to that tier?
Coreda

I completed the game at level 34 or something, reached level 37 following, and am currently at level 40 after the Hearts of Stone expansion. Others have finished the game at higher levels so you haven't reached near the limit, if there is one, yet. Some weapons require level 42 to unlock.
You can always take points from one branch and put more of them into the alchemy branch with the Potion of Clearance, see the OP FAQ for deets.
MadYarpen

I think there is no level cap. You can do 35 in the main game, maybe 36 with all side quests done at the right time. If you don't have enough lvls try to look for unused places of power, they give points as well.

I reached 39 with main game + HoS dlc.
