Yup the game wants you to explore everything  as you will get lots of good loot and you need to do these quests to gain that experience. fatest way to leel up is to undiscover hte question marks. you gian good shit with it.

you can kill  level 10 guys even if you are level 4 or 5. you just need to have the weaposn for it. i have been killing enemies 5 to 7 levels higher then me.  Best way is to discover the question marks. they tend to give you good weapons and armor. atm i have the dwarf hatchet taht gives my steel weapon to 210 and i have a rare silver sword that boost my silver attack to 293 at level 6.  Also you are right, always kill yoru archer, plus with humans , you the sign above aard. the one that controls people. if you stun, all you need to do , is to go with your stell sword and its instant kill . only works with humans though.

 

Yea  i learnt my mistake trying to play hard on witcher 2. so this time i am playing it  on normal. I wouldnt know if its instant death on hard as i am not playing it lon hard.  For me the controls are perfect compared to the witcher 2 . if you have played the series , then by now you would be used to it.  I guess if you are use to bloodbournes combat, this will take quite a  bit of tiem to get use to it.  If you meditate, the enemies dont recover. itsonly you who will heal life lol.  with regards t  your noon wraiths, you probably encountered a bug . you would have to restart it lol. 

 

Good idea especially  on the diffculty you are playing on. 

Yeah, I should turn the question marks back on. I turned them off cause it made it feel too much like a todo list, yet I see that the Serpentine swords I worked hard for are pretty useless already. Less than an hour into Velen I already found a standard steel sword that's better :/

I put most my points in axii, puppet control, and managed to charm a bandit to work for me. Fun. I guess that only works on humans and is dangerous to use as well. You have to cast it for quite a long time leaving you vulnerable. Yet they hit a lot harder than me when it works.

I played the Witcher 2 with keyboard and mouse. It was clunky too, but the camera is a lot easier to keep under control with the mouse, which made the combat far more enjoyable. On PS4 I constantly have to adjust with the view going sideways or the camera going behind things. Plus I wish there was some indication whether you're locked on or not when you're fighting a single enemy. That was pretty annoying with the wraith.
With multiple enemies it highlights the one you're locked on too, yet still not ideal as it's tricky to change to the closest target.

It's not always bad, sometimes it clicks and I'm side stepping, counter attacking in synch with the camera, and the game neatly locks on to the next logical target to take out a whole group without trouble. That feels great. Yet just as often the game seems to want nothing more than to make me sick with the wild camera movements and keeps switching to a target I'm not facing nor close to.
