Gwent: Big City Players

Gwent: Big City Players is one of the gwent-related secondary quests in .
:Gwent: Vimme Vivaldi Cheats!
The rewarded in this quest is unaffected by level constraint and difficulty level.
== Players ==
* Vimme Vivaldi at the Vivaldi Bank on Hierarch Square, playing the Scoia'tael deck
* Marquise Serenity at the Passiflora in Novigrad, playing the Nilfgaardian deck
* Sigismund Dijkstra at his bathouse in Novigrad, playing the Northern Realms deck
* Scoia'tael merchant at the trading camp outside Novigrad, playing the Scoia'tael deck
== Walkthrough ==
You can start this quest by picking up a notice from Harborside's notice board or directly challenging the first opponent, Vivaldi. The progression is entirely linear, with each opponent directing you to the next, with only a couple of caveats where, due to Dijkstra being involved in the main story, he may only be challenged between certain events.
Vivaldi awards the Vesemir card and directs to Marquise Serenity. She gives the Morvran Voorhis card and directs to Dijkstra, who in turn gives the Esterad Thyssen card and directs to the final player - a little-known Scoiatael merchant just outside of town. When he is defeated, he will give the powerful Ciri card.
There is only one catch - Dijkstra will be unreachable at the start of Final Preparations (even if you haven't talked to Triss yet), and if you choose to deal with him diplomatically during Blindingly Obvious, he will be further be unavailable to play with until after Reason of State ends, assuming that you side with him there. This effectively means that, if you want to play Dijkstra and not side with him during Reason of State, then you have to do it before The Isle of Mists.
In the event that Dijkstra dies before being defeated at gwent, the quest will auto-complete as soon as Geralt has to challenge him, and the game will act as if the match was played and won - and his card are awarded, with a green objective mark. However, since he isn't there to direct Geralt to the Scoia'tael merchant, the elf is excluded from the quest and, he can be played independently from it to get the Ciri card, but no will be awarded for winning the match.
When the quest completes, regardless of whether the Scoia'tael merchant was part of it, Francesca Findabair: The Beautiful is given as a final reward.
== Journal entry ==
: Novigrad is a cosmopolitan city, a true melting pot of diverse diversities. It thus comes as no surprise that the Free City contains a multitude of top-class gwent players from all strata and races, each linked by the fact that they possess highly powerful cards. Geralt decided to make the rounds of the Novigrad gwent circuit and win these cards for himself.
: Four victories later, Geralt had four new cards at his disposal and was well-equipped to go out and win even greater victories in the future.
== Objectives ==
* Win Vimme Vivaldi's unique card.
* Win a unique card from the Marquise Serenity.
* Win a unique card from Dijkstra.
* Unless Dijkstra dies before winning his card:
** Win a unique card from a member of the Scoia'tael band.
== Bugs ==
* Sometimes the quest will auto-complete before you actually get a chance to play Dijkstra and the Scoia'tael merchant. This can be triggered if you first beat Vimme Vivaldi and Marqiuse Serenity before you meet Sigi Reuven. If this occurs, you will often not be able to challenge the neither Dijkstra nor the merchant for their cards. Therefore, it is advisable to reload the game to a point prior to having completed this quest, and plan ahead accordingly.
** The above bug will occasionally resolve itself when the player further progresses the main quest. Encountering Dijkstra allows the player to challenge him to gwent and continue the quest.
* The journal entry will still say "Four victories" even if the Scoia'tael merchant is excluded from it.
