Coding it was very difficult and time consuming, so it's anything but laziness. It was added because TW3 had it, because there is online gwent existing, and because patrons asked about gwent minigame.The Card game is just a facade to hide to the player devs were lazy about the whole trainer aspect.
It was added after a patron asked us to, as for technical reasons they cannot be instantly skipped by holding ctrl like most other scenes can. Since you visit the dungeon often to get the reagents, skipping is unavoidable.and you know it's disappointing aswell because you added a Skip function
This is the story of Ciri, not our decision. She was kidnapped and forced to do things in the books, then escaped and managed to overcome the trauma.Idk what happened on Patreon, but it seems like Devs wanted to try something with CHAPTER 3, and then immediatly switched gear for CHAPTER 4.
We had a choice between ignoring this very important part of her life when she got her signature scar, and implementing it from the viewpoint of a nsfw game. We chose the latter one because it's less lame.
It's actually an excellent feedback, thanks. The kind of feedback we need to improve and make better games (as no one is perfect), rather than the usual "lol idiot devs shit game"What follow is my subjective opinion, it's not a blame for the devs, just some criticism that I hope, will be heard, from a player who plays mainly Trainer and management/sim games(All kind, from PT of the 80's to the most recent one, be it Indie or not).
