Souls games  may be different but if you have  good equiomen and you are high level then its easy. Souls games back on last gen consoles, were only remote challenging due to FPS slow down coupled with enemies having a much longer reach. For a precision combat, the framerate needs to be flawless imo. Bloodbourne is the same but that game is much easier then the souls games.  Still the only challenge there , is mainly due to the frame pacing issues.  I actually do the quite opposite. i play all the sidequests first and do all the question mark in that area, before  tackling the main quest. That way , it provides a good amount of challenge, as you be lower level when tackling the side quests.

 

I guess if they made all the monster super strong, no one would finish the game as the game  itself is huge and didn't want to put people off.   The system in The witcher is no different to any JRPGs. Eventually you get OP as you reach max level. Dont forget  , it is their first attempt at making an open world. For a first attempt, they did a phenomenal job. At the end  of the day, its the story that captures your interest more then anything else in the game. Well for me , thats what keeps me coming back . The rest is just an icing on the cake really. 

Sure Souls games get easy with better equipment, they don't by simply having a higher level.
Witcher 3 is putting me off a lot more by the frame rate issues and camera than souls games did. Yet there I specialized early in pyromancy and sorcery to play a slow tactical ranged combat style. Which is one of the reasons I haven't started Bloodbourne yet, seems my favorite play style has been axed. (And I got distracted while waiting for the load time patch, now its in my backlog)

Indeed the story keeps me coming back from more. For me the rest is not just icing, it's more like a lot of stale cake that you need to get through to reach the jummy inner parts. I'm at the point to simply leave all the side quests behind, yet I'm afraid I'll miss something good. It's a weird game, awesome yet at the same time often not all that much fun to play. It is always beautiful to look at, there's that.
