I've always preffered hybrid builds and I lean more towards Swords as a focus with Alchemy as backup. I use signs only when needed (Yrden and the like)..not too fan of spaming Igni (although a full magic build in W2 with a sword tree combination was quite fun towards the end).
My first build is gonna be mostly sword focused with a little bit of signs thrown in. Maybe 9 for swords and 3 for signs assuming no utility skill.
I have no idea at this point (of course). After watching that Twitch stream with LUq and Miles -- they all look so good. I'd probably do a hybrid and end up favouring one a little more inadvertently. Can't say which one though (O~O)
I dont know but in later playthroughs of The Witcher 2, i have gone down the Alchemy route more and more.
I guess i kinda like the aspect of being powerful due only to time invested gathering herbs, mixing them up and concocting potions to make Geralt both powerful and as tough as nails.
So if alchemy works somewhat similar to The Witcher 2, i will likely go down the same route.

Likewise but that's because I find alchemy makes the strongest Geralt of them all. Probably going to be a lot more balanced this time.
I tend to stick with Aard the most, and have swords at a reasonably good second place to Alchemy.
I always loved the idea of preparation makes perfect for Geralt. With Alchemy, its all about preparation. Swordplay and Signs were about ''in the moment'' actions. Aside from bombs, potions require you to think ahead - and based on the book i am reading right now - The Last Wish - he is very much a thoughtful kind of person. (no not a hero, a person!)

<-- What this man said
Seriously, gonna concentrate on sword skills, with little tiny bit of signs & alchemy (for example the alchemy skill that slows down opponents for better parry)
)The skill of seducing leprechauns.
Jokes aside, to me alchemy. I love the creating your own concoctions & the reward is something you have created that helps.
The different varieties of concoctions you can create
The variety is what I enjoy the most about it the reward is the process of creating it.

such as cats eyes to see enemies outline & internal structure, like in the Witcher 2
