Well, just because I started this >>>
finished the game (helping Roche), and: the last QTE I have seen has been the one at Flotsam. From this point on (and taking the Roche path), there is no additional QTE to be seen.
Means, who ever put it in in the first place soon got bored to continue "spicing up" the overall game experience the QTE way.
Don't know of the other part of the plot (helping out the elves), but I will have a look by not freeing the Flotsam women.
Anyway, if I had known about the QTE's being present in the very first part of the game "only", I might have not posted anyhow.
See you (maybe in another post, pointing out why this game is just too short :) )...

I think QTE's are quite easy is this game, even with "difficult QTE" turned on. I can't remember more than a couple of missed keys in the entire game, during my first run.
QTE's on Bosses (Kayran and some other) are well balanced : they aren't breaking the cinematic feeling of the scenes whilst allowing an implication from player, and add a chance to miss (and the cinematic being different from a simple scripted sequence).
On other hands, QTE's for fist-fights are so easy that I can't even imagine other than a total newbie gamer missing any part of this.
That's my only regret, and I wish to add longer combos, and a better ennemy response, to really feel the strenght of opponent... instead of hitting a dozen of times the same keys and have the feeling of fighting against a punching-ball :p

I liked the boxing in this game better, but yea i do wish the fights were much longer, had more animations (I think Geralt secretly knows Kung Fu, he should let it out) And dear lord they were way too easy. I loved every other part about this game though. Near perfection, i hope the 3rd is similar.
