The Witcher gameplay strategy

This page will contain general tips for gameplay. It may be considered spoilers, for now i'll put it with other spoilers.

Fighting Groups
When fighting a group of opponents, first decide if you can relatively easily "take" an individual of the same kind of opponent. If so, then it's game on!


 * draw your sword and switch to group combat mode
 * head for the middle of the group (as dead center as you can get)
 * once there, select the weakest opponent adjacent to you and make them your primary target
 * swing away!

This exploits the fact that your chances of hitting multiple opponents is based on your chance of hitting your primary target.
