I haven't decided yet on kb/mouse or controller. I think the controller is tougher on my RSI'd thumbs. I enjoyed the interface on the 1st Witcher better; the fonts don't bother me and FWIW patch 1.03 out earlier today seems to have helped some players a good deal. Right at the moment I'm not as enamored with the game as I thought I'd be. I don't know how to describe it, but the whole thing seems "clunky" to me. I haven't given it much of a chance tho' d.
