The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Frozen Cut Scenes & Miserable Combat

Unplayable. First off, all cut scenes show up as a frozen image with the voices playing in the background. Secondly, the combat is a miserable experience. It looks like my actual sword strike is some kind of Quick Time Event. So, I hit my LMB once, the teeny-tiny, near-invisible cursor changes to a sword with a slash through it (indicating that I'm not supposed to hit that button again - as if I'm paying attention to the cursor shape instead of the guy attacking me with a sword), the character runs through its sword strike animation, and the cursor gets reset to a flaming sword (indicating that the LMB is OK to use again). This is slow. If I do the natural thing and just repeatedly hit the LMB because nothing seems to be happening, all that happens is the character waves his sword around over his head because the animation is getting interrupted and reset.
