Silentgoldfish posted:I've been trying that but I still lose the other games... Sort of. Play all your spies, maybe some lower level cards (pull these out of your deck entirely later) and maybe your leader special (unless it's a tactical buff/nerf you need later). The moment he passes you stop playing cards, unless you can easily win the round or you're decoying cards back into your hand. If you have a bunch of medics, you can play nonhero cards freely early on. An excellent card to do this is the nilfgaardian archer, but any 5-6 point card works too. The idea is that you make the other guy burn more/better cards to overtake your lead. Edit: an overlooked aspect is pulling out crap cards from your decks ASAP. Any non-spy/medic/tight bond card under 5 pts should get tossed out as soon as you have enough cards to make up the unit minimum. OAquinas fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jul 28, 2015 |

You want to pull from the Northern Realms and Neutral options on that list. Non-Creatures: You want to run 2-3 Decoys, 1 Scorch, 1 Commander's Horn, 1 Biting Frost, and no other special cards. Strategy: Don't lose. edit: use the "Foltest Lord Commander of the North" as your leader. He is a Clear Weather without needing to have on in your deck which is 10000000% better than the starter Foltest. As you get more familiar with the game you can decide if you want to use either of the other Foltests. I prefer Lord Commander through the end of the game, though. AAAAA!

Is new game + going to offer anything interesting or new difficulties? My first playthrough was on Death March and I ended the game being death incarnate and blowing through most battles. I'd love to go through again but it'd get real boring with no challenge.

You should be able to buy some good cards from merchants once you are in Velen to swap out your Poor loving Infantry and whatnot. With how much I've played, I don't know how I haven't figured out how to get additional leaders. Whatever, I steamroll basically everybody even with the base Foltest.

My Gwent tactic against the AI is to give them enough of a point advantage in the first round with spies that they pass... and proceed to drop a 15 point hero down winning the round while getting plenty of card advantage. Sometimes they'll be wary of losing card advantage but you need to determine during your first round whether you're going for a first round loss and be careful or to start with a win and throw everything at them the second round. If I win the first round, I will almost always win the second one. Delaying your turn with anything to extend the first round to keep forcing the opponent to play something and wasting important cards like Scorch and heroes earlier rather than later is important for opponents with tougher decks like in the high stakes game. Those guys had some insane initial hands if you ask me. Freakin' three spies every drat time so if you don't start with decoys you lose serious card advantage.

OAquinas posted:Yeah. Plus Geralt has firsthand experience with the suck that is getting pitchforked. I feel like this is the appropriate response. You're in a world where horrible monsters exist.. you are doing a job which other people die doing and your risking your neck to "help" people only to be stabbed in the back with a pitch fork. I'd go murderous on the whole village too. One thing I noticed was this isn't the first time it's happened. He's got his "Failure pay" trophies in his secret hide out which Geralt comments on. Also if this guy also comments his younger sister died of old age recently, so he's probably around the same age as Geralt. yet he only has 4 "failure pay" trophies.. Which means the guy isn't inherently evil, just angry at the world like Lambert. Something i thought was weird was that when you say "i'm not here to judge you" to Gaetan.. Geralt says "They call me the butcher of blavikan for a reason, sometimes heads... heads just roll" yet Blavikan wasn't about being cheated, Blavikan was about saving the entire town from a horrible bitch.

Because he was too tough when I tried to play him at that point, he kept killing my cards with a card that had some kind of green goop on it.

He's beatable the very first time you meet him, if you bought some cards from the innkeeper at White Orchard. It'll take a few tries, but it can be done. If you just have the starter deck though, you're hosed and will have to come back later.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I bought many cards in White Orchard because I was worried about wasting too much money on that and not having enough for more pressing things, but I did manage to beat the Bloody Baron recently so maybe I'll be able to beat that nobleman at Vizima now.

So the guy for the Black Pearl quest died to some drowners while I was swimming back to give him the pearl. Is the rest of the quest good/important enough that I should reload a save?

This game should should be called Favorman. Sometimes they are fun enough but sometimes it just feels so tedious. It seems like literally every character interaction is followed up by some fetch quest favor and it can really kill the momentum. I just got to the isle of mists and I was thinking " wouldn't it be funny if they just ruined this cool scene with an npc sending me on some fetch quest" and lo and behold... It's like clockwork.

Geralt's emotiveness more than makes every fetch quest worth it. Any time the conversation remotely hints that someone is going to as you a favor, he just signs and becomes so resigned to his perpetual hell.

This game and Dying Light are two of the only video games I think I have ever played where the main character openly expresses that they fuckin' hate fetch quests and will only do them if the reward is good.

Not really for any good video game reason, it's a well written little quest. spoilers for the quest He says he can't pay you then and there and asks you to meet him back in novigrad. You meet up with him later and it's revealed that his wife has had hardcore alzhiemer's or whatever fantasy equivalent for years. The veteran is not rich and gives you 20 crowns for your trouble. That quest hit me real hard because my grandmother has alzheimer's and I honestly wasn't expecting the quest to go that way for whatever reason.

It could be a translation thing from a polish idiom that fits better but the sentiment is still right, Geralt knows that sometimes you can't do the right thing (including protecting your own skin) without killing a few people.

I understand that the message from the devs is 'we actually don't want you to do this' but then it would be easier to just cut all those sea ? from the game or if that's not the intention then at least give me a 2x faster boat thanks to some sail upgrade or whatever.

Still feel like the AI sometimes gives me an 'awww, poor little human' round and passes with one 4 bat on the table or something. Maybe it's less of a thing for other decks but for NR that's a free card right there.

Is there a list or guide detailing which quest fail when completing others? I had Following the Thread fail on me when I was progressing through the main story so I had to reload a save. I'd like to avoid that if I could.

I think the ?'s are meant to be things happening when traveling between islands/between different parts of the same island. That's how I think of them anyway. If I need to get from one place to the other and feel like using a boat, I'll chart a course through as many ? as possible. I don't actually clear them though, I think all of them so far have been hidden treasures or smugglers' caches.
