📋 About This Mod

Welcome to balanced, adjusted and refreshed Gwent in your Witcher 3. This mod provides subtle changes in cards' power and adds a few special abilities to existing cards to make gwent gameplay more interesting and appealing. Now the

The most important changes:

  • []There are no overpowered characters – the highest strength is 12 (Geralt), and other overly strong cards have been proportionally nerfed.

    []There are no useless cards – for example, Poor Fucking Infantry now has a power of 2, making them no longer instantly discarded at the beginning of the game when a slightly better card (say, power 3) is found.

    []Factions:

    []Scoia'tael now rely on Summon Avenger, Morale Boost, and Agile, which nicely reflects the nature of vengeful squirrels fighting side by side for the pride of the Aen Seidhe. For example, Iorveth (power 8) summons Ciaran (power 3), and Toruviel (power 5) summons a Vrihedd Cadet (power 3).

    []A few Monsters, as terrifying creatures, have been given the Scorch effect (e.g. Griffin, Leshen, Plague Maiden). The power of many monsters now better reflects the threat they represent in the game.

    []The main strength of Northern Realms and Nilfgaard still lies in Spies and Tight Bond. Only the card powers have been adjusted to better reflect the lore and the characters’ impact on the story of The Witcher 3 – e.g. Vesemir (6 -> 8), Triss (7 -> 10), Yarpen Zigrin (2 -> 4).

    Installation: as every other mod just unpack the zip folder and put modJustBetterGwent file into your mods folder. If you don't have it create it in /The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. For uninstallation delete modJustBetterGwent file from your mods folder.

    Any given feedback will be very much appreciated.

    This mod has no language. Every card will appear in the language you set in the game.
