Reply to comment by ShotGlass31 in Can someone give me a quick summary on why Witcher III is so universally loved, and why someone who knows nothing about it should play it? by selway111

Thank you for this detailed response!

I'm generally more into exploration and narrative. If the combat isn't doing much for me, is there a way to dumb it down so I can still enjoy the game?

On the easiest setting its not really hard. And if you figure out block/parry timing its like turning god mode on.

It does add a layer of complexity but potions are huge. Especially the oils. When you get to the top level oils its like 50% increase in damage. They arent mandatory like the older games but they’re definitely making it easier.

There’s a difficulty setting called Just the Story, it should be what your looking for. If it’s still too easy the next difficulty up it’s a pretty middle if the road experience when combat and story are concerned. Hope all this helped, enjoy!
