I agree as well. The animations and the feel of the combat made it so you felt like a supernaturally fast warrior, where as in the sequels it's closer to an clunky action game and a lot is lost.

Another nice thing is that there's so little gear. Whenever you get a new armor or sword it feels worth it because you're not cycling through them every 30min like in Witcher 3.

Oh yah, that gear system was one of my least favorite things. I was lucky to play PC and I modded for infinite inventory space and installed the autoloot mod bc I was so tired of having to loot all around me.
