📋 About This Mod

Next-Gen 4. 04 Compatible

In vanilla game, when you beat a generic merchant via Gwent the first time, you'll win a random card reward from him. With this mod you will get more cards instead of only one, which will make the card collection progress less tedious. After all, those cards are normal random cards, not some special and expensive ones.

NEW!Version 2. 0

Added mod settings menu allowing to change the extra cards amount.

Remember to add 

modExtraRandomGwentCardFromMerchantsConfig.xml;

 (not the content in it, just this file name + ;) to the dx11filelist.txt/dx12filelist.txt files in The Witcher. 3\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc folder.

Or run the Menu Filelist Updater tool to auto-update the filelist.txt files.

This mod ONLY works for Next-Gen. Use Script Merger to merge the scripts.
