Yes, good idea. It's a good as shit game.
It takes a little while getting used to, and gets easier as you level up. I found the interface a bit intimidating at first but caught on relatively quick.
I find it plays better with a controller actually, analog movement seems to help a lot in a game like it.
Some tips:
-Quen can make you invincible. It might seem lame because it's a defensive spell, and it is lame because defensive spells are lame, but it can be extremely useful. It's a nice thing to have but it can make the gameplay a little lame because it's lame. I would only use it when your health is down to keep the game fun.
-The key to combat in the game is to never get surrounded. You get damaged twice as much if you get backstabbed unless you level up a certain skill. So just dodge like a mafk and prevent this from happening. Seriously, dodge constantly.
-I personally wouldn't even fuck with the alchemy tree. I never use potions, and in the big battles where I might need them I never remember to prepare before them. That's just me though.
-This is also just me, but it seems to help getting more vigor ASAP. Once you have 4 you can basically cast force pushes all the time which helps out a lot.
