For me, if I ever hear "card-based" or "soulslike" I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I'm also not a huge fan of modern "roguelikes" but I've sunk days into nethack and games like that.

Any sort of deck-building because it feels like homework

This is why I skipped every game of Gwent

"Do you want to play a hand of Caravan?"

Fuck no I don't. Let me scavenge my caps 6 at a time in peace.

I maintain that Witcher 3 is great storytelling shoved into a shit game.

I hadn't thought much about it, but that's a really good description.

I unironically loved doing Dice Poker in the first Witcher.

Because you didn't have to run around collecting dice and then use a spreadsheet to organize the dice into an optimized dice stack meta and then lose anyway when you don't draw the right dice from your pile of random dice

I played Gwent at every opportunity in the Witcher game and thought I'd love the stand-alone Gwent. Boy was I wrong. The mini game was simple enough to learn and not that hard to master. Gwent stand-alone is just too complex to have some simple fun with it.

Should have done like me and literally refused to play a game of Gwent to save a dude's life

Like sorry bro that sucks and all but I'm just going to kill all of these people
