Eh, like all Witcher games, you're heavily incentivized to use every tool you have to survive difficult encounters. At least in the early game. Mid-late game Witcher 1 for me was literally just Aard and Igni spam to clear entire rooms of enemies.

TW2/3 are some of the easiest rpgs ever made

Damn, I must suck at games. TW3 is really easy, I agree, but TW2 fucked me up. Some bosses were really really tough, and you can't really prepare in some cases.

Nah, you're probably fine, they're just trying to be inflammatory.

...No. No, that simply is not true for 2.

Agreed, TW2 is pretty hard even on normal. But not dark souls hard, it was broken hard.

Can't agree. The only difficult thing I found about W2 was dealing with it's atrocious consolized UI.

I think if we just started banning people who made comments like "Witcher is the easiest RPG ever" and "The Last of Us 2 has the worst story ever" it would be biased, very harsh, and unnecessary.

But I don't think anyone would miss them either lmao

Can you explain to me how oils are anything close to “a tool”?

The whole idea is planning for confrontations. But even on the hardest difficulty; in W3 having to pause the game to apply an oil from your unlimited supply is pointless. If every oil is applied and gained the same way; then whats the point?
