radic202: I don't get this!
Now if you are all talking about the first fight with him at the Elven Garden, and right after we fell into the Pool area, I beat him in less then 10 seconds by just pounding at him with left-click and right-click and maybe one Igni and had him down to less then 1/4 health, then got a cut scene as if I had lost the battle, laying there in the corner and having him gloat about beating me. He soon went off and the game continued. And I was playing on Normal, so not sure if this is the battle all of you say is real tough or is there another battle (which I asume will be)? I also gcould have been very lucky?
Sometimes it is luck. Sometimes if I get the first attack down I can keep clicking LMB and keep the enemy stun-locked, but if one of the combat quirks pop up you give them an opportunity to fight back and sometimes turn you into a bouncy beach ball.
For example, I tried fighting slowly and noticed that on some occasions (15% maybe?) when you left-click Geralt either a) swings at thin air; b) run forward a bit and does not attack.
But fight with Letho is reasonable. I mean you have space to dodge and just one component.
