About this mod
This pile of garbage is a Gwent balance mod! Many card values and abilities have been changed. Now next gen compatible!
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
EDIT: This mod is now Next Gen compatible! (including the first hotfix) Legacy mod compatible with Witcher 3 1.32 is included.
Note: If you cannot access the Roach card from the chest in Vizima, you can still get it with the console command as follows: additem(gwint_card_roach)
Intro
This is my first mod attempt and very much a work in progress. For the most part, intended only for my personal use. Balance changes are broadly intended to make Scoia'tael and Monster decks more viable, but many were just changes I felt would be fun. Not all changes are intended to be lore-friendly, but there are a couple nods to source material. Balance is still way up in the air, as minimal testing has been done. I'm open to suggestions or requests if you have any, just please be nice :).
Installation
Simply drop the folder into the path: Steam>steamapps>common>The Witcher 3>Mods
Compatibility/issues
I wouldn't recommend trying to use this with any other Gwent mods that affect values/abilities. I was able to use the mod in previous game saves without issue, but I'm not sure if everyone else will have the same experience. I'd recommend backing up any game saves before testing this mod in them, and I assume no responsibility for any issues this may cause you.

Note: This mod is ONLY affecting the 1st playthrough. I virtually never play NG+ (I just don't like it in this game).

Agile ability added
Now has Skellige faction mushroom effect (essentially making Roach equivalent to the old Ermion with an added agile ability, providing a slight buff to Skellige) Note: Mushroom icon will not show up on the card, but it IS functional. This is a fun reference that most of you hopefully get. This card is still usable with the other factions, but mushroom effects don't apply.
