I wouldn't even Dark Souls is that hard though, not really anyway. Alot of its difficulty was found for me, because of the environment and because I wasn't prepared, and some weird things the game does, like auto tracking projectiles, actually even if enemies are in mid-air they autotrack, or stuff like enemies not being able to hit each other. By the 3rd playthrough I was pretty fine, and by the sixth I was breezing through. Could be helped with better AI, and more dynamic situations. Maybe the Witcher 3 has that. Or in Vindictus, where the bosses may inherit different traits when you fight them or something
Never played Witcher though, so can't compare the combat or various systems behind the curtain to Dark Souls. I do have the game, well Witcher 2 anyway(got it free from GoG). Not being able to change the main character's appearance is putting me off the game as I have no interest in the main character at all and I really don't want to play as him.
