Playing Through TW2 quickly for the first time?
I've had The Witcher 1 & 2 for a long time now, and each time I try to get into them, I am held back, not by the story but the game mechanics. Now with The Witcher 3 in my sights I'm hyped again and I at least want some experience of the story, so I went back, and the first Witcher, the combat is far too obtrusive and distracting for me to enjoy the game, so I skipped it and decided to try The Witcher 2 again, this time on easy.
So I finally got out of the prologue for the first time and am in Chapter I and really digging the story so far, and the combat is at least passable. At this point though I am more interested in playing the game through quickly to enjoy the story and finish it before The Witcher 3 comes out, so I have about a month.
So while I don't know many spoilers I know there are some major decisions involved in things like siding with one guy or the other at the end of Chapter I (I know the whos just not the whys yet).
Anyway I was just curious if anyone had any specific advice both in terms of gameplay that might streamline the combat aspects to make them easier so I can focus more on the story, as well as character development.
I kind of want to make the decisions on my own without a guide so I can experience the game on my own terms but I'm more interested in just the story at this point and while the game is fun I want to ensure I can reach the conclusion in time for the new game to come out, as I probably won't come back to revisit it for a long time after, and I will probably just youtube plays of the alternate paths story, but first hand experience is always best.
