Witcher 3 - The Wild Hunt

Gwent decks just showed up. Colour me impressed. The decks are huge, about 70 cards each. It seems all the unaligned cards are included in each deck. No more than 3 of each card in a deck. So no dropping 6 blue strip commandos. So Northern Realms shoudn't completely dominate like it does in TW3.

Once you've gotten the spy cards, Blue stripes and Catapults, plus dandelion and the commanders horns, NRs dominate like crazy.

Didn't use any catapults or commander horns in my deck. As many medics and decoys as possible so I could play as many spies as possible.

Medics and decoys were really solid. I was trying to see the highest possible gwent score I could get. I'll have to see if I saved my screen ever. Had all my Blue suns, dragon hunters and catapults played with dandelion and commander's horns on every row once :D

Did any of you try the monsters deck much? I assumed it had potential for a lot of really powerful hands with the draws, but would be a bit to unreliable.

This go around I have been playing with first the Skellige deck and lately the monster deck. Frankly they both have power behind them. What I find helps with them is the ability to keep a random monster on the field and for Skellige you get two from your grave in the 3rd round. If you play your game with those abilities in mind they can be fairly formidable.

That said previously I used Northern Realms almost exclusively.

edit: Almost forgot one of the best cards with Skellige is Cerys. She is a hero card that summons all your shield maidens. And the shield maidens double their strength with other maidens. Basically just by playing Cerys, I get her (10), plus 3 maidens (12x3) for a nice 46 points with one turn.

Well finally finished Blood and Wine last night. So while not every mission over the main game and dlc's is done, most are. Really what a game and what a couple of expansions. Not really going to say much about it since I don't really want to spoil things for people, but I will say one thing, damn the last bit of B&W can be hard.

One of the best games I have played, ever.

The last Boss fight can be quite challenging, took me a few goes to figure out the best way to stay alive in certain phases on Death March.
 
I thought B&W got ridiculously easy once you get mutations. With 4 decoctions going the mutations gave me a 210% damage bonus for my weapons. I also spec'ed Geralt to get major critical damage and high critical chance. I was going damage in the high thousands w/ almost all swings. Hearts of Stone was WAY harder IMO.
 
I'm close to the end of my second time through the main game + DLCS, I recently tried out a bunch of mods for the game and damn..talk about a different experience.

I currently installed 12 mods and the game runs buttery smooth. The sweet spot, for me, is 2560x1440 @60hz and there was zero performance/fps hit for running these mods in conjunction with the game.

As others have stated, fantastic game-- one of my faves for sure!

Apparently Netflix is going to do a Witcher TV show. Hard to say how this will go. They've had some gems in the past, but some real shit too on the Netflix originals line up ( that Hemlock Grove was the worst thing I've ever watched).

There's a lot of potential with the Witcher's universe. The racial dynamics could play fantastically (while conviniently avoiding the inevitable 'whitewash' controversies that the internet will froth over in a real world setting), and GoT showed that a fantasy universe can be done well, though it's less high-fantasy than the witcher in a lot of ways.

Expectations are really low, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
