But, OK. I'll prepare another option to choose in installer - a 'lite' version of the mod. Weaker monsters, a panic button for those who realised that it's hard on hard. Just hang on till then.
Thanks. And thanks for not being mad at me. Because I really love what you did there, I just want to survive it too.
And... I'm on medium... :-[ I think, monsters don't neccessarily need to be weaker, but rather Geralt stronger. But I'll work on my talents and maybe I'll figure it out eventually.***

That's true, its not too hard, just finish it with strong style, then switch immediately to group style and run away. You're movement speed will be faster with group style then strong/fast style and you can get away quite simply without getting any damage.
Oh, if I tried to do anything else
after I finished the bloodzuiger, with the delayed reaction, I'd be dead before changing style. BUT if I stun it, I can finish it off with group style, I'll try that. Thanks for the tip.
I managed to kill those two wraiths for "the rat" with lvl 10, also this was NO fun in the beginning as i got killed a hundred times. But as you know, you have to do this Quest early as Coleman will die (when given the wares to the Scoiatel) after visiting Raimund. I can't write down how I did this, just move around a lot and don't get hit.
I started off with an igni blast, then tried to slash at them alternately with fast style, while staying in combo, to prevent them from getting near. But they cheat. They assaulted me with pain attacks and once hit by that, Geralt just slumps there until he's dead, no sense of self preservation, tsk. No, really, he dies from his own stun blasts, when he uses aard on low health!Thanks for the offer of making a video, but that'll only show me that you can do what I can't. Like running around with the left hand. I can't do that, so I need to move with the mouse and heavy use of the active pause.I also tried my luck with the single wraith at the cemetery entrance... I burned it, made one quick slash and then lured it to the entrance of the order cloister. There I learned how much stronger than any mere human Geralt still is, even with extremely reduced stats. The wraith was on full health again and the attacks of the knights and guards didn't so much as itch the ghostie. So I used them as a human wall to protect me and keep it pinned to the wall, while I tried to kill it. But even that nifty trick got me killed in the end every time. One unguarded moment in the middle of a combo (how does one guard in the middle of a combo?) and it gave me deadly pain again. Game over.
You actually can't go to a wrong direction in char dev at lvl 10 I think
Oh, you just say that. I'm at level 13 and need 2 more silver talents (4 levels) to get dex and stamina to level 2. I think I really went the wrong way, how am I supposed to gain four levels, when I can't do quests because they all have to do with killing things? Sigh, I will pay for my mistakes and try to work hard... what was that about discouraging grinding? How ironic, I killed coccadicium with dying only a few times, before I gave up on swords altogether and incinerated it from afar (yes,
that's where my talents went, in case you wonder).Thanks for your input and wish me luck.
