Get on the Witcher 3 train lads. Amazing being years late to the party and it's still going on

...I did the main quest stuff in Novigrad and have just gotten to Skellige now and done some romping with Yen. Was always shagging Triss in the first two games but figured I'd go for Yen in this one since, well, she's there for one and you sort of are supposed to. But I dunno, Triss seems the funnier of the two characters but maybe that changes. I've still saved the "Now or never" quest so that I can change my mind if I wanna.
I still find it hard not to get sucked into the main story in a way. There seems like there such an urgency to whats going on there that going off on a 4-hour trek in the woods just seems a little off. But now I'm at level 22 and seems like I can take on some more interesting Witcher Contracts so was doing that last night.
I'm getting well into Gwent as well, it was a fucking bore at first but as these things usually go (at least in FF games) - turns out it's fucking fun. Bit pissed I already failed the Catch em All quest from not realizing I was supposed to do a gwent tourney at that ball with Triss. Though I still can only play with a Northern Realms deck. I didn't realize you should look to buy cards from any vendor you see at first so now I'm finding it hard to come across cards. Monster decks seem insane, they just get millions of units on the board somehow.
