The card system wasn’t even the problem with that game. The horrible story, forced walking around an uninteresting location, endless stupid dialog, and the bugs were what made it bad.

They completely killed replay value because there was no way I was doing all those quests and conversations a second time.

As soon as I realized the Skip button during conversations only skipped one line I was done with it.

Yup. Not the entire conversation, or even sections of it. Just the current line that was on the screen.
