Last night I started a new game on hard ddifficulty. I also changed the mouse sensitivity by increasing it from 3 to 6.5 area. Now I'm not sure what the cause was but I breezed through the prologue without any efferot and never took much damage. The game seemed really easy for the first time.

now this might be due to patch 1.2, it might be due to the changes in mouse sensitivity or it might just be due to me knowing how to play better. But my rolls and hits were well timed. I got tons of hits on the enemies back and never once got surrounded by a group of mobs.

I would bet it on you being more experienced. Single-player games don't change very often. Experience is a huge part of improvement in SP.

Any game needs to get used to it to become easy. So I DO think this one is very hard on 'normal', at the begining. This is not a game to enjoy it for years and years. Because once you walked through the not very long story once or twice, there is not much novelty there anymore, no incentive to replay, so you don't really have such a long time to get used to it. So, why bother with the hard fights, since, as intended, it's the story i'm interested in? The very hard fights distract me from that story, and I find them annoying.

These were my first thoughts. However, once I started to gain levels and upgrades for the weapons and armors it became much easier, which added to the fun factor (for me). For the moments I want to be a click freack I have other games. Serious... Serious Sam, I mean... :)) Yes, I still play it, sometimes, briefly, just for the difficult and funny fights :)

I kinda agree.. it seems bit easy for me.. i have no fcukin idea those who yell hard. Use potions, traps, bomb and clickety click.. win.

Also the upgrade for the skill tree was kinda imbalance. Take the alchemist for example.. Level 1 was 20% more damage from traps and bombs then the 2nd upgrade.. +100%. THis is really rushed. They should put more content so that Geralt can have higher levels and we can have 5 levels of upgrades. 20/40/60/80/100%.. That will be the proper way.
