Witcher 1 really has old-school difficulty syndrome. Getting past act 1 was a nightmare for me, then somewhere around late act 2 the combat became trivial and I could just stunlock everything.
Yeah, that’s one of the memories I retained of my 12-years-ago playthrough that the first boss was the most difficult by far.
Another of my issues is that I’m a completionist and want to play every sidequest and get most unlockables. And that means either juggling 4 wiki lists while playing, or as I ended up having to do, unify them into a single spreadsheet for each chapter. Spending hours not actually playing the game 😑

The Witcher 1 is best played on the easiest difficulty. Just play it for the story.
