Ebon-Hawk: You are asking for more monster than humans? (in terms of ratio)...
World like that could not sustain itself...
I always preferred a realistic Witcher and not Diablo Witcher :)
IF you failed to realize that TW2 is a little Diablo-lite ;).
Loot (armor, swords, items), crafting, socketing, resistances, secondary effects, alchemy, elemental (negotiator-freeze), skill tree progression, skills and abilities.
I'm just a little disappointed why there are no stats (attributes) strength, dexterity, magic which TW1 has and would have preferred and equivalent same dosage of combat/story ratio.
