First off let me say I love this game. Love it, love it, love it. Recommend to anyone, anytime, etc. But I do have one gripe - just one.
My gripe is difficulty. I had no problems in Velen, but my issues started once I went to Novingrad. I am still having almost no trouble in fights playing on hardest mode. And I've purposely handicapped my Geralt by not using all my skill points and using an old sword from earlier in the game with no runes. I get killed every once and a while, but all I would have to do is equip the current level sword and then no problem.
I like to do all quests and side quests, so feel like leveling has been a problem (feeling overpowered most of the game once I left Velen). Get to a new area and the main quest lines are rated as several levels lower than me. Again having lots of fun, but feel like I'm not using quite a bit of the content (crafting, runes, special alchemy strategy for monsters, etc.). I just swing my sword, dodge, kill stuff and use the potions that regenerate health and sign fuel.
Wondering if anyone else had this issue. One idea would have been to stick to the story quests on first play through, and then replay just doing the witcher contract quests. Just a wandering witcher looking for work. Would be fun way to get 2 turns thru the game.
