Linko90: If you don't enjoy Gwent, you can play the game in 'Story Mode', this allows you to skip the Gwent card battles.
rbialo: That is most importnat news about this game!
I was under the impression that it is mainly card colletion game and was about to pass it. If there is an option to skip all card battles that changes everything for me. Can you give some more info about this option:
- how are battles resolved when you skip cards (pure rng / more power = instant win / anyhing else) ?
- how long is the game when you skip all card battles (I guess card playing makes up to 50% of game play time)?
As far as I am aware, story mode plays like normal mode, the battle is there still, the big difference is, you can fail your battle on purpose by passing all the rounds, then the game will give you an option to skip it entirely. Some encounters have form of puzzles more than playing cards though, so I guess you also have the option to pick encounters you want this way because you have to see the battle before opting to skip.
