Agreed, the series seems to have a fantastic story but the combat is so clunky.

@Sitara Yeah, and its an absolute shame. I really want to give Witcher 3 a shot because from what ive seen and heard, theres so much to love/appreciate. But Witcher 1 hasnt aged the best imo (and not even in regards to the combat, i actually kinda like it. its more the sex trading cards and weird sexist undertones), and Witcher 2... well, read above lol. Would just say w/e and skip directly to 3 but it seems 3 really expects and assumes youve played and understood the story from the last 2, so... maybe if this remake of 1 is good we'll get 2 as well?
