The story is the point of this series and in each game its impeccable.
I had the exact opposite, I started with the first one, combat system is pretty easy once you know it, and then went on to the second and I died a lot. I'm still at the start of the game, in Flotsam, and I'm not fully used to the new controls though. Still, when facing multiple opponents you're pretty much screwed, I struggled a lot when facing that shady incense guy and his four thugs, or at least with his four thugs, he was dead in two strikes himself. Can't really get combos or even heavy hits going when facing more than one guy, and the fact that blocking and magic use the same energy pool is annoying too. Probably need to make more use of bombs and start rolling around even more instead of blocking some strikes.
