Hey,

Im at the end oft act 2 now and my Game seems to be bugy since the beginning..
I was wondering all the time but can't explain what's wrong exactly.

I will try:

I started playing on normal and after 5 minutes of playing I switched to Hard.
My game seems to be really really easy. For example Draug was killed after 30 seconds and hitting him 6 oder 7 times with the hard punch buttom.
I watched yt videos and see how hard he is normally...

But the main "bug" seems to be I didn't find armory or swords. I carry the first sword and the first armor from the beginning of the game. I read some "ideal solutions" and watched yt videos and I know the places of some armor or some dealer where I normally can buy it but... there is nothing to find or to buy.

This is really destroying the game! Every enemy is killed by 2 or 3 hits, its really difficult to die and there is no customisation, no need to level up or upgrade my stuff.

There is only the story but gameplay sucks this was.

I can't find any answer in the www.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Thanks for helping!

Edit: playing the newest version and with the FCR2 v1.1 Mod

You're playing the game with a mod that makes radical changes to combat, equipment, enemies, loot, quest rewards, and game balance. If you want to play the game as it was designed, uninstall FCR2. Walkthroughs, youtube videos, and the game manual itself will be mostly useless to you with this mod installed.

Full Combat Rebalance is not official, and it's not recommended for someone playing the game for the first time.

Oh!
It's the Full Combat Rebalance mod what makes this game so easy?

Didn't notice it, haven't played it without.
Just thought I have to play it with because it makes fights more "dynamic".
Thought it was made by a CD Projekt Developer, therfeorce its "seemi official".

But thanks a lot for telling me that it not only changes the combat system, also equipment, enemies, loot, quest rewards.

... oh no, that was the reason because the gameplay had no .. "feeling", just rushed throw it.

Hope when I deactivate it know its not to hard because i have no equipment... .
Or should I really completly restart the game?
Hmmmm .... i think i will give it a try...

Btw thank you a lot bengeddes!
You rescued my oppinion about this game.
The first one was really good and I love the books about Geralt from Riva.

Yes, it was made by Flash, an employee at CDPR. It's not a bad mod, but to understand it, one must first play the default game. Although FCR does make a few changes for the better, it's not a fixpack. Combat in the vanilla game is not broken or in need of fixes. The other thing is, in my opinion, Flash began making some nice changes to combat and then went way too far, changing almost everything in the game, going well beyond the scope of a "Combat Rebalance" mod.


You may need to start over, or your talents and experience will be all messed up. Sorry about that.

Already startet a vanilla new "dark mode" game.
Wow, this is much better!
Combat isn't perfect, but much much better! (I will be Demon's Souls & Dark Souls damaged for the rest of my live...)

But I think about to switch the difficult to "hard mode" before its to late and I have already some "dark mode only" cloth and lose this...

But now is much better.
Btw, prologue was very fast, act 1 will be the same and in act 2 i will go with vernon roch and not with iorweth, so it isn't all the same.
So i "lost" just a few hours and on the win side stands to see both sides, vergen and kaedwen :D
