📋 About This Mod
Aren't you tired of always starting a new game with the Northern Gwent Deck ?Have you ever wish to start with another faction of your choice ?If yes, this Gwent Overhaul is for you.
How does it work ?
Start a new game ( or new game + ), go to White Orchard's inn, talk with Aldert Geert and choose your starting Gwent Deck.
You can choose one at a time among Monster, Nilfgaard, Northern Kingdom, Scoia'tael and even Skellige. Have some regrets about your choice and want to try another faction playstyle ? Speak to Aldert again to swap your starting Gwent Deck.
Note that those two decks are identical to what is already defined in the game. The three others are balanced to match the power of the Northern Deck. The Skellige Deck is a little overpowered at the start, but can't be completed as fast. The dialogue of one quest in Toussaint will also be un-immersive with this deck already in hand -> as such, it's by default hidden from the player unless the corresponding option is toggled On in the mod menu.
Besides starting your journey with the faction of your choosing, the mod has several additional features that aim to make that mini-game more enjoyable by spreading the completion of your collection accross the game while making it less tedious.

[]All the cards that can normally only be bought are now also part of the list of cards the player can win by random. That list include all the cards of the Northern Deck if you didn't choose it and all the remaining Skellige cards if you choose this Deck. If missed during the prologue, Zoltan card is automatically added to the list too. Cards that have multiples copy like Decoy / Horn / etc. can be win as many time as their max count isn't reach (ex : Decoy max count = 3, you can win up to 3 cards ). Those cards can still be bought if wanted or can be removed from shops entierly by toggling On the option "Removed Cards From Shops" in the mod menu. In either case, you're not forced to buy any card in order to complete your Gwent's Collection and finish the corresponding quest. The Gwent Almanac was cleaned up from it's duplicate entries and the remaining number of cards ( be it by region or by random ) also reflect the features explained above.[/]
