These types of games? These types of games are always better on a keyboard solely because of the amount of keys that you ave available to you. The controllers have but a fractoin of them. Now as to why there was the entire stupid system where you can use only 1 sign/pocket item instead of quickly switching between them liek the swords, I don't know. It was stupid however.

Forgot to say IMO.  Third Person Action RPG games for most people, are best played on a console.

Not, not IMO. Objectively it is better because you can objectively count how many keys are on your controller and how many keys are on your keyboard, and objectively that gives you more functionality. I am piss tired of people trying to pass off quantitative facts as opinoins to make themselves feel better. It's like saying that It is subjective that the mouse is better than dual analog sticks for shooters of all kinds.

No sir. You are wrong. There is no functionality that a keyboard offers in Witcher 2 that isn't perfectly mimicked by a 360 controller. Every single meaningful action can be mapped to one of the controller's buttons.

And FYI: don't go spouting off about what you can or can't do unless you read the manual (also read the manual, though that usually requires you to actually legally obtain yoru games, I'm sure). Switching to the next sign is done with 3, the next quick-use item is done with 4.

I don't even have the game installed; I know this stuff because I looked in the manual.

Switching to next sign instead of whatever number sing you want is just downright retarded. Considering I used Quen and Igni the most (they are not next to each other even remotely, in fact I believe they were 3 apart, the "next sign" key wouldn't be too helpful when I need to switch in a hurry) that functionality was utterly bullshit. It would bemuch more meaningful if they mapped all the signs from 3-7 (or F1-5). WHich they didn't. The game would have benefitted far mroe from having more keys used for quick switching between signs and pockets, something you can have only with more keys which controllers don't have. There is no reason for the radial menu's existance in the least either.

P.S. The manual is in the installation folder in a .pdf.
