I think it's a fantastic game, I really enjoyed it!

Yeah, there's a lot of DLC for it and I think it's all good. I've only played it through once, including all the DLC, and Steam says I've clocked 212 hours.

There's also an in-game card game called Gwent that is coming as a stand alone game soon. I've signed up to be a beta tester, we'll see if that gets approved. Here's the link:

Yeah, I really enjoyed it in-game, so I'm definitely looking forward to the stand alone game. I just hope it's more single player focused than Hearthstone and Faeria. Yeah it is a CCG, but it's also not very much like those other two games. Oh and I also found every Gwent card in the game. I think I also defeated every opponent. :)

It's confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it and I'm sure you'll be successful. I probably should mention that I did play the game on an easy difficult level. I was more into the story than getting my ass kicked by enemies, some were still difficult though, especially at lower levels. The story was really awesome though! I cared a lot about the characters and I liked seeing other characters that appeared in the first two games of the series. You can make choices about what actions to take, which can change things. I really love it and I'm glad one of my local friends recommended it to me. The first two games in the series weren't nearly as good as the third.

@JaBo let me know how FFXV is. I haven't pre-ordered it nor do I have a PS4. I'm not sure when or if I'll get one, but that is one of the few reasons for me to have one.

I'm not sure when I'll check it out, but I'm also interested to see what someone else thinks about it (c'mon Travis LOL).

Hahaha that's like when I went to play some Ark, I realized I had to hold Shift in order to sprint instead of just press it.

I finally defeating some difficult foes in Solo mode. I tried so hard and eventually found some recommended card lists. Now I'm kind of locked out of solo mode because the next matches require at least level 13 and I'm only 12. So, I've tried the Pandora and Battle modes. It reminds me of Hearthstone in that I hate playing against other people. In Battle mode, you play w/ a deck you created against someone. In Pandora, you're given choices of cards and build your deck kind of on the fly. I did get one win out of six. The good news is that you still get exp and other rewards even if you lose. Also, every time I collect 100 gold, I buy a new booster pack, which is cool and actually easy to get. Even if you lose three straight matches in a row as I did earlier in Pandora, you still get some exp, gold, and a booster deck.

Completing those quests grants you exp, gold, and sometimes a booster pack. The Epic Quests can be very difficult. The Puzzle Quests are challenging, but kind of simple, too. I did, however, find a video that was made very recently (in the last 24 hours I think) that showed the solution to all of the puzzles. I got through most of them on my own, but eventually decided not to spend too much time trying to figure them out.

My strategy has evolved to rush. I like my yellow/desert deck. I've been creating plains towards my opponent, then I build deserts near them and their faeria wells. This has worked out in some instances, but not in all of them. I also have included some neutral cards to help me get started. This was after seeing deck recommendations on one of the main sites for the game. That site (link provided below) explained how each colored deck works. Yellow seems to be primarily rushing/aggro, while blue is about having control over the faeria wells along with some spells to help remove your threats, such as turning your opponent's creatures into 2/2 frogs.

:) Was it a regular match or Epic Quest? I liked the red cards, too, but that page I linked above said red has the weakest creatures, which didn't seem right to me. I suppose it's true, but they didn't seem weak to me. Many of them do indirect damage, like combat makes it deal damage to your opponent. Then, there's that what 6/9 one with Taunt. When I built a new red deck based on the above link's recommendation, I got Talum (the forest boss) down to 1 point, but he beat me. That was during an Epic Quest, it was definitely tough.
