Still playing Witcher 2. Got some mods working. https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/mods/871
The usual criticism I've read about this game starts to make sense. The combat is quite bad. almost impossible at points. You find yourself doing absolutely no damage at Bosses and yet you can't purchase better gear. I had to switch to Easy difficulty to make some progress, and also because I don't think the combat system is even the reason for playing this game. Also the missions are starting to feel like chores and sometimes I wonder where the fun is.
That said, I still sort of like this game. It has the same Witcher vibe that the 3rd game has and the story is sort of interesting. The stupid combat system and sudden deaths just really grind my gears at times.
The mods do help a bit.
