I’m about ready to give up on #witcher2.

The tutorial – such as it was – sucked, but I knew that; still, I’m halfway through freaking Act 1 and I still don’t feel like I have a handle on the game play, I keep stalling out and dying at this one spot, and all the fun is in the storyline – which is nice, except that this is supposed to be a monster-hunting game..  Even on Easy this game is an absurd grind at best and calibrated-above-my-skill-level at worst.  Honest to God, The Witcher itself was fine, really.  I didn’t want anything really, you know, different: just some better graphics and maybe a tweak of the combat rhythms.  Just monster-killing, with the obligatory grand epic storyline.  Instead I get this.

Arrgh.

PS: Because I don’t have anything else to play until ME3 comes out, that’s why.

I am in the Witcher 2 hell.

The one spoken of here.  I was wondering where it was, and now I know.

Dear God, do I know.

THIS GAME NEEDS A BETTER TUTORIAL.

PS: Other than that, it’s awesome. Once I figured out how to hit things. And pick up things. And find things. And do every other thing that worked perfectly well in The Witcher Enhanced, not that I thought that at the time…
