Speaking of which, does the PC version have controller support?Was a lot easier on 360 thanks to the improved controller scheme iirc. The game was definitely overly difficult at launch on PC though

This. It gets way easier as you progress.The game has a weird reverse difficulty curve. It's actually a lot easier now than it was near launch.

Outside one boss fight was I the only person who had no qualms with the Witcher 2's challenge?
And I played it when it first came out.
Your memory is failing you.
For how easy TW2 could be, from half of the second chapter going on you could *literally* beat any fight in TW1 with group style selected and just clicking on your mouse every three seconds without even looking at the screen.
So what about that combat overhaul mod?
One mystery I will never understand is why the entirety of the internet sucks at The Witcher 2. I just don't get it. Are you just standing still and button-mashing? The game is pretty easy, really. And you don't have to roll around as much as some make it out either. Just use common sense, make sure enemies don't corner you, be wise about your talent points, make sure to drink potions and don't let yourself get surrounded. I never parry either; no point really. Just dodge and counter-attack from behind. Geralt is fragile, yes, but so are the enemies. Most enemies can be defeated in just a few hits; some in just one hit.

Because Witcher 1 is laughably easy outside of two fights.

I think you mean is it worth downloading the combat re balance mod that one of the developers made in his free time? It doesn't cost anything, aside from a moment of your time to sign up/in to the redkit site and then downloading it. EDIT - http://redkit.cdprojektred.com/index.php?c=mod&m=show&p=77Is it worth getting the combat mod that one of the devs downloaded? I'm gonna play through this for the first time soon and I'm wondering whether to do vanilla or grab it.
When it was originally released, The Witcher 2 was criticized for its combat mechanics, as it felt a bit awkward and Geralt could not react as fast as gamers had expected him to. Therefore, CD Projekt RED had to release a patch that addressed most of the games combat issues. But why was the combat of The Witcher 2 so unforgiving? Well, according to game director Konrad Tomaskiewicz, the game was inspired by Dark Souls.
In a length interview with Eurogamer, Konrad Tomaskiewicz said that CD Projekt RED tried in The Witcher 2 to make this high difficulty level that Dark Souls is best known for. However, Konrad claimed that it was a mistake as The Witcher fans wanted a traditional RPG with a story, not a challenge based on their dexterity.
Dark Souls influenced me very much because I love games like this, but I understand after The Witcher 2 that we should less experiment on stuff like this but more focus on the things which people love in our games.
So, what about The Witcher 3? According to Konrad, the game will be easier than its predecessor on normal difficulty. Still, this does not mean that the team will dumb down the game and make it easier for everyone. The Witcher 3 will sport various difficulty levels but unlike The Witcher 2, Normal wont feel like Hard.
Konrad concluded:
Right now were changing it and I believe that everyone will go in this world very smooth and we will not get problems like it was in The Witcher 2.
Other than the optional fight with the Operator I don't remember the game being all that difficult. Witcher 1 was a lot more challenging (and less fun) for me.
Your not alone, I tried twice to get into it, put at least 7-8 hours in the second time. I cant pinpoint it, but it just felt too much like work. I wasn't having any fun.
Kind of a shame cos Witcher 3 looks amazing but I cant get excited for it
