Simply running past low level enemies is a no go, he keeps turning around to face them automatically. I guess I need to practice steering the horse.

For some reason, I've always thought you were more of a PC gamer and that you'll play this in PC- honestly, I have no problems with handling either Geralt or Roach with kb/m, and I almost never turn lock on - and horse fighting is so much fun, if you handle properly his fear level you can take on enemies you're still not even supposed to engage, specially if you use sprint since it deals even more damage.

Though, tbh, when Geralt is in run mode he does behave bit wierd when stopping - I prefer to walk and use sprint, it feels much better.

And that underwater swimming ugh. Is there a way to fight things under water? Those drowners don't hurt me much anymore, yet they keep pulling me off course. Why can't he use a sword or kick at least.

Yeah, swimming can be finicky at times, though I yet have to die due to being stuck somewhere underwater. As for underwater fight, use crossbow, they die at once.

I was more of a pc gamer, yet I prefer the convenience of consoles. I played witcher 2 on pc and had terrible slowdown in some places, so much I had to keep going through the settings to make it playable. Now on consoles at least it stays playable, no slowdown into sub 10fps.

I've tried fighting with the horse but it's just frustrating with his turning and the camera. I rather sprint everywhere and only use the horse when I'm encumbered and need to get to town. Fighting enemies you're not supposed to yet is easy with axii.

Thanks for the tip about the crossbow. I never use it since it's slow to load and hardly does any damage, I guess its usefulness is underwater. Quen works once under water but you can't recast it.
