I've advertised The Witcher series to one of my friends recently, and was appalled when he told me that the sluggish mouse in menus was still an issue this late after release.
You adjust mouse sensitivity for the menus, it messes it up in-game. You adjust it for comfortable movement in-game, you despair as you slowly drag your mouse across the interface screens.
Essentially we've got a PC game that's only playable with a controller. Congrats, beloved champions of PC development!
It's nice to have an enhanced edition and everything, but if CD Projekt really cares about its game, its reputation and its customers, how can they leave a horribly unusable UI in their game? I know I'm gonna seriously hesitate to buy The Witcher 3 or anything else from them (and definitely not preorder like I did with TW2) if they abandon the game like this.
Please just put one of your devs on the task of providing different mouse sensitivity in-game and in-menus, and end this mess.
EDIT: This guy details the problem much better than I could: http://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher_2/game_still_unbearable_due_to_input_lag
Seriously, fix it. It's rip-your-own-eyes-off annoying, enough that I can't bring myself to finish the game.
