Continued playing today in chapter 1. Didn't had much time, but I noticed that the game runs smooth in the forest as well (someone mentioned it kicked down his fps). Loading times are a bit longer there, though.
Got myself a new silver sword and learned how to craft stuff, so I am getting better with the general game controls as well. What I found a bit annoying was a group of bandits very close to an "open" loading zone in the forest. I've been running up to them, new zone loads, I am attacking, they attack me, so I'll run away... into the loading zone, when the loading is done, I noticed that the bandits are walking away again, so I follow them... into the loading zone again. This happened like 3 or 4 times until I've killed them. A bit badly placed, that mobs.
