Completed White Orchard. Did all marks, secondary quests etc. Crafted the most excellent Serpent Silver Sword, did not have the means to do the Steel version yet but have an adequate steel sword as well. Upgraded my Witcher armor. Have all potions, bombs, oils, etc from the early area. Killed up the Griffon. Level 4. Focusing on Fast Sword and spells, especially fond of Igni.
Got a bath and a shave. ;)
I think they tried to model inertia on Geralt. I am getting used to the concept and fighting well, dodging parrying and blocking in this system are coming around to me. Really did not have to much trouble in White Orchard over all. Looking forward to more over my holiday weekend after work tomorrow night.
