The tutorial is a separate section in the game. When you start a new game, it asks if you want to play the tutorial.
Good to see you over here Sue,
This may help:
The concept is to hold the "block" until the "riposte" icon appears, then attack. But I have a vague memory of some problem in the tutorial with the "riposte" icon never appearing. If it doesn't, just guess and move on - you can practice again later in the game if you want to, and it isn't that important a technique anyway.

Apparently if you have install the "Combat Rebalance" mod it screws us the riposte portion of the tutorial because the tutorial expects you to use the parry key which then may give you a riposte option ... but the Rabalance mod removed the need to use the parry key.
So apparently the tutorial is incompatible with "Combat Rebalance".

Yes, it's definitely incompatible with Combat Rebalance. And, based on what you've said in the past Over There, I'd STRONGLY suggest you play the vanilla version, without using FCR.
Yes.
You'll need to start again after removing it, but skip the tutorial and just go straight in.
Always. And SOME of us had to learn the game before they added the tutorial section.
(And it's not worth playing the tutorial twice)
Yes! Yes it is. I have the facial scars to prove...something.
But remove FCR, like Dragon says. It's harder and I found it less intuitive with position-based parrying etc. I just removed it myself, in fact. And then downloaded a save from the Nexus near where I was, more than half way into the game.
You should have asked. I have like a zillion savegames. All of which would load for you with a naked but excessively overweight Geralt.
..that's just....you're just...you know, sometimes I do not like you.
Awwww. You called me a "man". That's so nice! That might be the (only) nicest thing you've ever said to me.
Let's hug!
About done with Chapter One.
Very impressed by the story-line and quests (including side quests) so far. After all you are a witcher so a certain amount of "Go kill X and get paid." is only to be expected. But so far at least it hasn't been overdone.
Can't say as I was terribly thrilled with needing to speed click my mouse to crank up the ballista in the prolog tho. What possible connection is there between Geralts' ability to operate a ballista and the players ability to speed click?
To be honest I was disappointed by the Kayran fight. It was pretty much what I'd expect in a console game, perform a predefined series of "twitch" actions, i.e. hit the right key/button at the right moment or pretty much auto-fail the battle. There's one, and only one, way to win, zero allowance for player/character skills/tactics.
But the other parts of the game are doing a nice job of making up for the disappointing Boss battles.

You'll be pleased to hear that it's the only scripted boss-fight. And I don't think there'll be any like that in TW3. Glad you're enjoying everything else.
